fall biking #1

going to work: 53:06.0

it’s freakin cold, i can’t pedal as fast, and there’s super bike traffic today too, and all the kids are going to school now there’s lots little ones in the way

but seriously even my hand got cold when i got to work, and i had gloves on, i dont care how sexy those biking tights will make me, i’m gonna get one, it’s ok it’s gonna feel like wearing nothing at all! nothing at all!

amrik the trixter

remember when amrik came back, and he brought us all gifts, it was so nice, and in the gift pack there was this “Läkerol” blue fruits candy, that “makes people talk”, and we were all like whoa what’s this, fancy euro candy, and it’s good!

well guess what

he got them from IKEA!

lakerol

it’s not listed on eng website, but i just got another pack from my coworker, let’s throw a curling rock at him

bye bye bike

i sold my bike yesterday, and i sold it for how much i paid for, yay, and ya, that’s it for riding for now =/ a scooter next?

oh AND yesterday i went to eric’s for games night, and i got gas for 132.9  – 3.5 = 129.4, and then on the way home the gas was listed at 151.9, wtf that’s freakin like almost 20 cents jump, and uber deal for me!

i havn’t really had time to write about the trip, maybe cause im super tired when i get home, and all i want to do is play disgaea 3 ;p it’s so awesome yay, but ya last week weds me and mah gf went to quebec city and montreal for almost a whole week, and i got back on tuesday morning (and went to work, gg), it was pretty awesome and crazy trip

  • first day we didnt’ make our bus cause stupid construction on hwy, and we ended up spending the night at tim hortons ;/
  • totally recommend the hostel in quebec city – hostel international, and it’s right in middle of old quebec
  • it’s all about sitting outside when you go eat, rue st jean had some pubs (and lots shops), grand allee had lots restaurants
  • beer comes in colors – white red and something
  • too much walking, but what can you do
  • taking a via train is pretty awesome if you can get student ticket
  • totally DON’T recommend the hostel in montreal – auberge de la paris or something, piece of crap – smells, super tiny squeaky bed, no towel, no blanket, super tiny bathroom, no paper towel and air vent in bathroom
  • metro day pass is awesome deal because once you get out of station, you need new ticket to go back (3 day pass is even better)
  • labor day = nothing is open, gg
  • try to speak french, but really, they all know english, and they’ll speak eng to you after you say “bonjour”
  • quebec food makes you (or made me) gassy…

and now i have to decide if i should buy an xbox360 cause it’s only $199 – for a 20 gig PRO model, not the arcade crap, and be the first (that i know) to own ps3, 360, wii, and also lose my anti-360 title

*update – um.. ya i got the xbox 360, gg
