The temperature turned chilly. It's only about 15 degrees C here.
We're going to my sister's today, and she has a heated pool so we'll all still go in!

I'm researching steampunk
Out of curiosity, how so? What does that encompass for you? By this I mean that Steampunk isn't real per se, but has historical roots and previous iterations, so I guess where do you go/begin?
Googling for articles. I am starting up a new roleplay and am considering making the genre steampunk.
Here's a couple of good ones:

Reading and writing steampunk can be a lot of fun. Here's what you need to know to write well in this genre.

I love the challenge of trying new things.
Celtic music is great. The authentic kind is played largely in unison, with all instruments mirroring each other, using the inherent sounds of the instruments to color the notes rather than harmonies. Kind of that anti-jazz. I'm not 100% sure why that is, but I imagine it's due to the primitive instruments the original pieces were composed on. The original pipe was tuned to a Dorian mode, I believe, but that was long before the Western diatonic scales were standardized.
I would probably have a hell of a time learning the fiddle, actually. They tune the strings in perfect fifths to minimize position shifting. The guitar is in fourths. Completely different. Doable, but it's like shifting the alphabet by one letter.
I unfortunately have never been musical myself. I remember my grade 8 teacher laughing at my singing voice in the choir.

A deciding game 7 is about to begin between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers.
The Leafs haven't made it past the second round in more than 20 years, and infamously haven't won a cup since 1967. The Cats are the reigning champs. Whoever wins tonight makes it to the final 4. Should prove an exciting evening !

I love steampunk. Went cuckoo bananas for the style when I first discovered its existence. What fun it would be if we all dressed in such a manner now.
I'm pretty excited about it. I am planning to start a new roleplay in the steampunk genre. Watch the Roleplay forum for announcements!
Wait! Wait a minute, Mr. Postman....
I wonder what is the evolutionary origins of curiosity?
