My Arbitrary Day PLUS match, elocin277, sent me a book that was on my wishlist (Bryan Lee O'Malley's Lost at Sea [he also did Scott Pilgrim, FYI] - see reddit-relevant excerpt below) and a handy little guidebook about where she's from - Nova Scotia! I dove into it right away, and now I've got another place in Canada to visit.

So not only did I learn a lot of new things about Nova Scotia, but I got an excellent graphic novel! Forget Joseph Howe, Ellen Page, and Sidney Crosby. You're the number one Bluenoser (i.e. person from Nova Scotia - this book is pretty friggin' awesome) in my book. Thank you so much!!!

...man, I said book a lot.

EDIT: That second package came today, and it's a USS Enterprise bottle opener! It's super shiny, has a nice weight to it, and opens bottles with ease (of course, I had to test it - you know, for science)!!!

Thanks a lot elocin277! You made this year's Arbitrary Day so great for me. :D
