Lightning Strikes Twice

Wow this is embarassing. Okay today I went to check out a house on Woodlawn. So I walked to Woodlawn and I couldn't find the number! The landlord calls me (thank god I gave her my number) and I find out it's Woodland! WOODLAND! WHOEVER NAMED THE STREETS IN THIS TOWN SHOULD BE SHOT! Seriously every street is named after some form of WOOD!

  • Sherwood Forest Tr.

  • Robinhood Lane

  • and Little John Cr.
So I didn't have my map (stupid me) I had to go back to my residence which luckily wasn't to far. Now I'm going to Subway to give a footlong for $5. (As a way of thanking them for getting rid of the ass monkey commercials)

Took the long way home


"Wow" I said to myself. "How do I get into these predicaments."

So I got up early today to go check out a house that I could possibly rent.

I had my trusty map and left at 11am, arrival time 11:30.

Follow along with the map.

First I crossed the swamps of Welland to the parking lot street (now known as Chippawayan Blvd.) and passed the police academy place (now known as Children's Safety Village).

Now I'm on Rice Rd (previously Chippawayan Blvd) and looking across the street I see the Children's Safety Village (actually Alexander Kurska school). I move north along the road and see another building, this must be the Children's Safety Building I say to myself. As I get closer I realise it's the Niagara District Catholic School Board. Must not be on the map I guess I say to myself.

I turn and walk along the road, beside a corn field and see another school. What is this? I examine my map more closely... OH MY GOD. Niagara Catholic School Board is on the map but it was so far away from my plotted course I never saw it. The school up ahead must be Nouvel Horizon and I'm not even in f***ing Welland and it's 11:25!

Sure enough it was Nouvel Horizon and sure enough I was in Pelham. I continued walking, because backtracking would be pointless. After that I was being annoyed. because everytime I would look at my map. I would step in the only puddle in a mile. And strangely enough when I was walking in f'ing grass I walked into a god dam pothole. Any way I made it to the house 20 minutes late but my god was it amazing. That' s definantly number one in my running.

I'm checking out another house today but it'll be hard to top that. Tonight I'm hoping to update you with a Super Spectacular Edition of the Stinger503's Movie Fiesta!

P.S. How on Earth I thought a corn field fit into my imaginary map I have no idea

This Week in Stinger503

I just had the best meal I've ever had while in residence. Some pormodoro pasta, which is pretty standard. But I also had some oven baked chicken (toaster oven) that had garlic butter and lord wsa it good. Took 35 minutes to cook but man was it good.
I think I'm also gonna have some chili/cabbage rolls.
Lost is on tonite and I can't wait.
JERICHO WAS AMAZING!
On Monday I stayed after class to play Age of Empires II with classmates and I had a blast.
Ok just wait Lost is starting right now...
Wow Lost was good but not as intense as last week.
Tomorrow I'm going back home, should be fun. Jenni is coming down to get me.
Well, next week I'll be posting my reviews of Lost: Via Domus and Call of Juarez hopefully.
Today I slept until 5:30! PM! Need less to say I think I've payed off some of my sleep debt.
And that's about it, I'll see you next week.
