Also, surely I’m not the only one who laughed at the TBS reference

Enjoy! I’m getting up early-ish to watch with mom… after a full day of family Xmas, staying up until 2am wasn’t of interest πŸ˜‚

I wish we knew some of those goals were tied to season 0 in the first place!

On the way to the train at 5:30am and we pulled up beside an 80s Buick blasting Spice Girls… that’s the way to do early mornings.

I had a one year to WaPo and stopped logging in after all the BS during the election.

I locked into a low rate on NYT years ago and don’t want to to give it up πŸ˜‚

I would also recommend turning off news notifications. I still have my @nytimes.com subscription but I’m using it more for lifestyle and interest. I can’t get too deep into the US news cycle for my own mental health.

I feel like I should get bonus points when I return ebooks to the library a week or two before their deadline.

My parents were at the museum at CFB Trenton looking at an exhibit related to the Great Escape and met one of the men who was involved. I had to do an immediate rewatch after they shared that experience!

I wouldn’t recommend it to my parents, or to anyone who gets easily frustrated filling out online forms, but I was determined to see it through and was eventually successful.

Last update: got through & did passport application on April 29. Received passport May 5.

Application took longer to fill out than I would have liked, but overall really happy with the online renewal option!

I deleted any stored data and my Apple Health app last night. I’ve been worried about something like this, despite not being directly affected, and I’m just not open to taking the risk. My step count doesn’t matter.

Looks like 7:07am was too late today.

A reddit post says the service is limited to 250 people daily. So this may be like getting Taylor Swift tickets, only with fewer Americans in the queue.

Has anyone successfully renewed their Canadian passport online? I’m determined to use this method (esp. since I had to pay extra for digital photos) but it seems I’ll have to try at 7am on the dot.

Hey #GCdigital - anyone have the scoop on the online renewal?

I did a speed read and returned my copy with 19 days left on the loan :) Hopefully you move up the list quickly!

I’m team EU and I feel like it’s becoming less crazy of a position by the day.

I’ll vote for anyone who looks into Canada joining the EU. We do share a border with European nations, after all.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Public servants are probably the only people who loyally and faithfully show up to work while not being paid.

I’d like to thank my parents for keeping cable so I can watch the Taylor Swift-inspired Christmas movie.

I saw her in Toronto after a year+ of fighting for tickets. I paid face value.

It was a great show, but I would have been disappointed if I’d paid those resale prices. The Eras Tour was a spectacle.
