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!

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

Earth (Day or Hour?) and Betasized

First let me talk about the "Earth Hour". It's stupid. It is almost as stupid as the Live Earth crap. What a freaking waste. I'll be honest here's what I was doing for Earth "Hour".

1. Playing my Xbox 360
2. On my television
3. with my computer running
4. with lights on.

I know what this is. It is the same idea as that stupid turn off the television for a week thing. All this is, is the media using the bandwagon it created for this "Earth is dying crisis". And it's laziness! Earth already has it's own day why not turn off the lights for a day? Hell we're half way there since a day is half natural light anyway. And Earth Day on it's own is annoying, look at this ugly ass flag! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Earth_flag_PD.jpg That in my opinion is the worst image of the Earth there is. We are left staring at Africa's ass and Antarctica. Lame.

In other news I got into the Battlefield: Bad Company beta. And although it's pretty good it has its share of problems. This weekend I never got around to doing much of anything. On Sat. I went to eat at KFC and stopped at Blockbuster and got some good deals. On Sunday I turned on the tv to watch NASCAR and here's what happened (within 5 seconds):

• I noticed the race had already started
• I noticed a wreck was being showed
• I noticed Bobby Labonte was the main car of that said wreck
• ASS!

Other than that I did nothing productive by any means. Some time this week I'm going to go to the Housing place on campus, probably after I figure out where that is.

P.S. I had another McRib and apple pie on Sat too.

Movie Review: There Will Be Blood

Wow, I watched this movie a week ago. All I can say is that it was very intense. Daniel Day Lewis (I believe that's his name, he won Best Actor) is amazingly insane in this role. The kid in the movie is pretty cool. The story like I said was intense. The movie really draws you in. It was likely very multi-layered so I may watch it again just to see what I missed. Holy crap was it good though.

Acting: 10/10
Story: 10/10
Atmosphere: 10/10
Overall: 9.5/10
Rated R (ONT) R (USA) Recommended but remember it's pretty crazy!

Double Movie Review: Superbad (below) & Fargo

Fargo

Fargo was a fasinating movie. Directed by the Coen bros. (No Country for Old Men). I thought it definantly had some suspense. But the great thing about this movie is that it doesn't need it really. The movie is just telling us a story and tell it does. The Coens are masters of their art. William H. Macy, Frances McDormand are amazing, while Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare are creepy as ever as kidnappers. The movie was awesome. I can't wait for the Big Lebowski (This weekend I hope)

Acting: 10/10
Story: 10/10
Atmosphere: 10/10
Overall: 10/10
Rated R (ONT) R (USA) Dazzlingly Great Movie.

P.S. I found myself saying that with their accents I would think EVERYONE in that area is a liar. I don't know why but every time they talked with an accent it sounded like they were lying.

Movie Review: Superbad

Superbad
This movie had a lot of hype surrounding it when it came out. And I've only been able to get it now. I thought that it wasn't the funniest movie I've ever seen (Borat, Napoleon Dynamite) but it did have it's moments. It was very easy to get attached to the characters though, for me at least. I found the police characters to be kind of annoying. I think my problem with them was that they weren't antagonists. Because in the movie there isn't really a antagonist and that bothered me subconsciously I think. Nothing really got in their way at all. Still it had a heartwarming type of feel to it which I appreciate I guess you could say.

Acting: 9/10
Story: 6/10
Atmosphere: 8/10
Overall: 7/10
Rated 14A (ONT) R (USA) Watch it and you'll like it.

*P.S. What's up with all these good comedies that have a cartoony sort of look, Napoleon Dynamite started it. Here's the list of movies I can think of that fit in with it

• Nacho Libre
• Knocked Up?
• Anchorman?
• Borat
• Juno
• Superbad
• That's all I can think of I hope it keeps going though

Operation McRib

Well all I can say is thank God it's over. It was a long day. My objective: McRib. My course of attack: I left for the bus at 4:50 P.M. which arrived promptly at 5:03 P.M. The 1st Avenue bus would take me to the terminal so I could get onto the Woodlawn St. bus (I could've waited for the Woodlawn bus at the school but I was cold and lazy). So I take Woodlawn to Wal-Mart. And of course, the Wal-Mart McDonalds doesn't have McRibs! And of course, you could only find this out on a McRibs sign at a place that had McRibs. So I'd have to wait 20 minutes for the bus to come back. Okay then I'll grab Jenni some Easter crap while I wait (which I needed to do anyway). All the stuff was 50% off! So I bought the stuff then walked out to the bus stop, realized I had another 10 minutes, went back in, bought more stuff, and then got on the Woodlawn bus.

I quickly devised a plan that made my do as little work as possible. I would get off at the mall, walk down the street to the McDonalds (newly built) buy the product and boot it to the Niagara St. bus across the street. Ride that bus to the mall and get on the Woodlawn St. bus when it arrived a minute later. And then ride that bus back to the school and walk to my residence. And surprisingly it all worked like clock work. (Except when I got back to my Residence my key card didn't work on my door requiring me to go to the front desk, thanks for pissing on my victory) (Note: my diagram above. Too small? I don't give a rats ass. Paint sucks) After that it was just me finally enjoying the fruits of my labour:

McRib (Plain) Price: $3.69

My God was it ever worth it! The best bbq sauce I'd ever tasted. The bun was perfect, it sort of looks like a small submarine. But dam was it good.

McRib (w. toppings) w. Meal Price: $5.99

I was sort of skeptical about this. Why did they even bother putting anything on something that's already perfect? Eating this really made me open my mind. It was like wow, pickles and onions are amazing. Both in texture and taste.

Ratings:

McRib (Plain): 10/10

McRib (Toppings): 10/10

I highly reccomend that you try both. They really skimp you on the sauce if you have toppings. Really this sandwich is legendary and now I know why.

On a side note try out the McRib light show game. It's pretty fun. http://www.mcrib.com/
