Now done with taxes for the year 2005

I had to go and read around on the Canada Revenue Agency's website for a little bit just to figure out which province I'm a resident of. Who knew that life could be so complicated, or that a person can live about a 1000 km from their residence. Sometimes governments don't make quite so much sense I think.

Anyways, as a student I don't really mind doing taxes as it generally means that I'm getting some chunk of money back (this year being no exception). I still haven't managed to get rid of all my education tax credits, although maybe when I file my 2006 income tax return that'll change.

Free Flames tickets? ... and pseudo-random mumbling about caffeinated things!

I got an email from a brother of mine (the topic should let you guess which) regarding some "free" Calgary Flames tickets. The basic idea: buy a bunch of (overpriced) beverages at a convenience store, and then you can claim a ticket or two (of 200 issued per day for a total of 1000) first-come first-served at the Saddledome box office. Think that its worth it, considering that I'd have to go out of my way to get to the Saddledome box office?

On a related note (given that "Full Throttle" is on the list of applicable beverages): I'm almost out of caffeinated mints, and looking for a Canadian supplier. Does anyone know of one? Unfortunately, the only places that seem to be selling the stuff online have ridiculous shipping fees (I'm also scared of hitting brokerage fess from the couriers they use - I remember once a $45 brokerage fee on a $50 item!) I think I may have discovered a new winner for oddest caffeinated product - how does caffeinated lip balm sound?

Pi Day

Just a little advance notice that tomorrow is Pi Day, in case you need time to plan your celebration. For those using 12-hour clocks, celebration is at 1:59pm; for those using 24-hour clocks, celebration is at 15:09 (3:09pm).

For those who are somewhat new to Rotundus and wondering what all the fuss is about, Pi Day is an unofficial celebration of the mathematical constant π. We didn't invent it, and we aren't the only ones observing it.
