+ Still not feeling super chatty for Reasons. But. Here we are.

+ I am so happy that we're getting more sunlight now. It's 8PM and there's still tons of light out! Amazing! ...And tons of snow, but hey, one can't have everything.

+ Last weekend, I went to a free pysanky workshop at the library. Ordinarily, I'd just make them myself at home, but I forgot to buy dyes, so... hey, why not. It was fun! The workshop was put on by someone from the Ukrainian Cultural Society. (Come to think of it, I should have asked her more about that - but I'm sure some other opportunity will come up.) Anyway, I did finish my pysanka, so that's cool - removed the wax at home using the oven method.

+ Recently finished reading Athabasca by Alistair Maclean. It's a thriller centred around industrial sabotage; part of it takes place in Alaska, and the other part takes place in... Fort McMurray! It was kind of a novelty to read something set in my hometown, lack of accuracies and all. Though I did have to turn my brain off and stop trying to make sense of the town's layout per the novel after it became clear that the author didn't know much about the place beyond whatever industrial research he'd done, hah. (There was one bit where I was wracking my brain, trying to think of what kind of drinking/dancing establishments would have been open pre-1980. "He can't be talking about the fucking Oil Can Tavern, can he?!" I thought. Oh, boy.)

+ Music: "If Sabaton Wrote Blue Da Ba Dee" - sent to me by kanadka and I simply had to share. A++ parody, no notes. The vocals are a good match (not quite there, but good match) and the musical sound is spot-on. This is probably one of those things that isn't so funny if you aren't familiar with Sabaton's work, but perhaps it can stand on its own as a parody of power metal cheesiness.

+ As usual, hope you all are having a great weekend. :V
