It was nice and warm and sunny here today! +11. 🙂 The anti-depression drugs have kicked in, I got a bursary today and a job interview on Thursday and I have only a month of classes left! Yeah, I guess that implies I needed powerful pharmaceuticals to get through a Canadian winter, but it’s true. This time, it was like everyone was scratching at the walls. ---

I really think I could tolerate this crap (-13 right now) if the meteorologists would just admit that they have no freaking clue beyond about three days and stop telling us it’s going to go back to seasonal norms next week. They have been wrong for at least a month now. ---

Nice idea for a thread title, but I think the mods need to do a little surgery on it. “Mini-Rants” is the most important part of the title (and of all the monthly minirant titles), and it seems to have been circumcised. ---

I was on vacation recently. Someone noticed that all of my photos were square, instead of 3x4. I wasn’t sure when/how I’d made that switch nor how to unmake it, so I let them make a few changes and suddenly, my pictures weren’t square anymore. Yesterday, I finally got around to looking at all of the photos. They weren’t square anymore. They were 640x480 pixels instead of the 3000x3000 that they had been when they were square. I’m a little bit annoyed at myself for letting someone else go near my camera. I’m not a great photographer, but now and then I manage a decent shot. Now even the better photos that I managed to take are screwed. ---
