New peeve: manholes

We have a new member to add to the peeves list:

Manholes
Why are they staggered all over the place? Why can’t they be all in the same position on the road so you don’t have to weave around to avoid hitting them like some sick game of Frogger®?

Unit converter page added

I got tired of going to Google to quickly find a unit conversion page when I needed one so I put up my own that’s nice and accessable. Click.

Dream vacation

I just realized my ultimate fantasy vacation.

Click for the basic map.

As you can see, we’d start off flying to Los Angeles, rent a car, drive west to Hollywood and walk around there a bit, see the walk of stars, and take a picture of the Hollywood sign on the hills. Next we’d drive through Beverly Hills and look at all the famous people’s houses. Then we’d drive further west to the coast to Santa Monica, then down and around the coast to Long Beach and down to San Diego. We’d stop and stay in San Diego for a few days, and go through surf camp.

Finally to end off the vacation, we’d drive across the boarder to Mexico, drink some tequila and beat up a Mexican.

It would be nice to rent a car and drop it off in San Diego to fly home. Maybe popular car rental companies do this.

Car stolen

I’m pretty sure I watched as one of my neighbours’ car was stolen Sunday night.

It was 20 minutes past midnight and I was in bed. My room is facing the parking lot and my car. I’m all paranoid that my car will get vandalised or my place will get broken into again so whenever I hear a noise out front I look out my window. I heard what sounded like hammering on metal. I looked out and there was a guy sitting in my neighbour’s truck and it looked like he was hammering something at the side of the steering wheel. I’m betting he was driving a screwdriver in the keyhole. I wanted to make my camera flash to scare him off but before I could unzip the case the truck started. The wipers went off indicating the person wasn’t comfortable with the controls.

He took off, taking a round about way out of the lot and then a black tinted car with all lights off pulled out of a parking space just up from him and followed him. Then they when down the main street in the opposite direction.

He sort of looked like the guy who owned it (skinny guy, white hat) so I wasn’t really concerned. The truck hasn’t been back since that night. I’m pretty sure it was stolen.

I’m glad I’m moving away from this rag-head section of town.

Crispy beef

I just had the most incredible food ever.

Lucky Star Chinese Food
613-830-1808
1615 Orleans Boulevard, Ottawa.

It was cut into thin strips for nice texture. It had very thin carrots and onions for color and flavor. The beef tasted like it was bbq’d with a hickory flavor and then coated in it’s dark sauce. Crazy…go get it.

Basement layout

I started to imagine how the basement of my house is going to be like so I made a reasonably-to-scale drawing.
