Today I just got my UN Laissez-Passer. Basically, it's a UN Passport, which is pretty damn cool, if you ask a UN-loving nerd like myself.
Because I don't have my driver's license these days (it's in the mail), I have been carrying a passport around with for ID purposes. Because I like keeping my passports in the same place, (and because it feels wrong to choose between Irish and Canadian), I have had both in my right pocket for quite some time. Well, now I have 3. It might not be the minimum of five that you usually get a glimpse of in the clandestine briefcase in the movies, but I still feel pretty spyish.

Ah, hockey
This is, without a doubt, the single greatest television program ever created.
I just got back from a brief trip home to Calgary, with the primary purpose of renewing my lost G-4 visa, but with the added bonus of being able to surprise my mom and see my family again. I had forgotten what it was like to be able to turn on the boob tube and have instantly displayed in front of you the hockey game of the moment (particularly if the playoffs are on.) There are some things simply irreplacable when you are not at home. I don't think it's possible for me to find a Flames game anywhere south of the border, no matter how hard I try. This makes me sad.
Tonight the Flames take on the Ducks in what I hope will be their series-winning match against Anaheim. Iginla was in great form when I watched the game on the 29th, and Kiprusoff is nothing short of a wall. Here's hoping they win tonight. Depending on how CFA study goes, I might try to listen in on the radio. Go Flames Go!
Interestingly, the Oilers are set for a huge upset against Detroit, and if they make it tonight they'll likely be playing Calgary in the next round as the teams would be the top and bottom seeds of the Western Conference teams. It would be great to have a playoff series between those two. Anyone within 100 miles of me care?
