LOL so I told my parents about Vancouver today. My dad was like "Oh, okay." My mom was like "WHO ARE YOU GOING WITH WHERE ARE YOU STAYING WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE LSKJLFKSJDLFJSDKLFJS"

She wrote down the name of the hostel. I'm pretty sure she's going to try to research and see if it's any good (well, it was the best one I could find after three days of hardcore looking and a couple of browsing. And it's not a $15 sinkhole, so that's good) -- try being the operative word because I don't think she completely grasps the internet and how it works yet -- and she's convinced I'm going to die in the five-block walk from Rogers Arena.

My mom's going to Puerto Rico next Tuesday. I can't wait, the house will be silent, and I'll be able to make food and take showers whenever I want! I can watch hockey and the playoffs on a television!

This Tuesday, I'll be at the Mets game with Al (!), who's never been to a Mets game before (!!), and Keith, who I haven't seen in nearly twenty years (!!!). Should be interesting. Tonight, the Red Sox and the Yankees both lost (I can't believe I'm cheering for the Yankees Tampa Bay to lose. It feels so dirty), which means the Red Sox and the Rays are tied for the Wild Card. This is almost as bad as 2007; almost, because the Red Sox aren't my team. The Cardinals have moved to a game back of Atlanta. I don't know why I care, one of them is going to get it.

...Yup.
