[Chopped Again]
I caved in and went for a hair cut after I had spent more than 9 months growing it all out! So here I am back in asymmetry.
[Summertime, really?]
First day of the Summer and it's HAWT out. Hopefully it'll stay this way til at least September!
[Aftermath]
Although boards have been put up on all the shops that were damaged last week, there is still broken windows and the city still sits waiting to get fixed.

[Stanley Cup Riot 2011]
Hockey is a huge sport in Canada and the US. When we first moved here, I got to play some hockey with the neighbourhood kids in our cul de sac. I guess perhaps just coz we weren't really brought up around hockey so it's not too important a sport for us to really care and the first time I actually watched hockey with excitement was during the Gold Medal game for the Olympics. It just made you feel more united with the world since it's such a big event. Our team, The Canucks, from what I know... haven't really been that big..? Perhaps I'm wrong? I know that back in 1994, we made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs which resulted in a loss which then resulted in chaos in the city. Everyone braced themselves for a repetition of that this year as we made it to the finals.
So here is what the riot looked like back in 94.
Here's a video of what happened last week.
And here's a video my co-worker put together. We left long before things got really bad.
