Just got back from a business trip to Calgary. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there, and I'd definitely go back on vacation. I'm also pretty pissed off right now, and I can sum in up in 3 little words: FUCK AIR CANADA! 
Those cocksuckers just don't know how to handle baggage! They always seem to put it on the flight AFTER the one you're taking! It happened a couple of years ago when I returned from vacation in Toronto with Trees2112. Then on Monday, it ended up on the Toronto-to-Calgary flight AFTER mine. And tonight, my bag didn't make it to customs in Toronto! (EDIT 10/2: I finally did get it back around 9pm tonight.)
So here's a little travel tip, my friends: try to avoid Air Canada if you can. If you can't, then either cram all your belongings into a carry-on bag or get to the airport early enough to get it onto the flight that's going to your destination BEFORE you, so it'll be there when you are!
Canadians: Unarmed Americans with Healthcare!

blame <air> canada! blame <air> canada...it seems everything's gone wrong since <air> canada came along!
no i wish i made all of the garments themselves cause i could use the practice. i guess i should say "designed" because somehow in the theatre costume design world if you put it together it's your creation even if you bought the pieces elsewhere. i guess cause theatres can't possibly afford to make everything from scratch.
i just think it's scary that i have so many costume combinations, most of which are totally combined by me as in i didn't go to the store and buy a costume kit, and even cooler most were bought at a budget (corsets are about the priciest pieces, but i get a helluva a lot of use out of them). i have to flex my design muscle somehow in my year off...
