Snow!

It's snowing! I love this country.

All I want for Christmas...

All I want for Christmas is:

• to finish my MSc thesis;
• an Xbox 360;*
• a green Xbox controller, if it exists;
  
• socks; and
  
• Wegmans purple-top triple-fruit jam.
  

Prices just finished adjusting to the $1 CAN = $1 US conversion rate, but it's now more like $1 CAN = $0.73 US. Thus, things are now cheaper in Canada, even with slightly higher prices. Witness the Xbox: $300 in both countries, but $300 CAN = $230 US; maybe I should just buy one here. This is also the case with the computer I'm coveting, but I don't need it and can't justify its purchase. Quine is still alive and well.

Come to think of it, I can't really justify my desire for an Xbox, either. It would be fun. Back to work, now!

* This is somewhat expensive, and I don't really expect to get it as a gift.
