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?

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.

As you may or may not already know I've got about a month and a half to find myself some new accomodations. The story behind this is that one of my roommates (AKA my landlord) is getting married in mid-April, and I thus need to be out of the place by the time that he and his wife-to-be return from their honeymoon.

Anyways, this means that I'm currently scouting the Calgary rental market for vacancies. Rather than increase my options, I'm finding that having a car is actually decreasing them (it'll probably cost me an extra $100 for a parking spot if I end up moving downtown). I'm debating what I can / should spend on accomodations. Living with a few roomates does wonders to cut costs down, and means that if I do end up living on my own my housing costs will probably increase by 50% or more (I can afford it, but at the same time I have better things to do with my money).

Anyways, if you happen to know of anyone in Calgary looking for roommates, or with an apartment or suite to rent, do let me know.
