TIL 1) there is a $75 added charge if you puke in a cab in Vancouver and 2) my high-drama friend still canā€™t hold her alcohol. Not like we wanted to see the the headline performer at the show anyway.

FFS, shouldnā€™t we be past this once weā€™re in our 40s??

TIL that the 'Cantonese' chow mein a local restaurant served until it changed hands was probably Singapore Noodles. No wonder everyone else's 'chow mein' wasn't the same. Yeesh.

How reliable is the Airhawk? Thinking of getting one because I'm lazy...

LOL that's great. Funny Vancouver cab puke story:

Last year I went over for a hockey game. Brother in law and a friend scored box seats. I met a friend before the game, had a few beers, unlimited drinks in the box, a few apres... You get the picture. I never felt drunk, but, earlier that day I ran a hard 20k and didn't really drink much water.

The next day I was trashed. Was desperately trying to hold it together as we took mass transit back home. Nearly puked on the sky train, was holding my hand over my mouth on the bus through tsawassen. Missed our transfer for the last bus, and it being a Sunday we would be stuck for an hour and miss our ferry. I hailed a cab as I just wanted to GTFO the mainland at that point.

Anyways, I made it to the "welcome to bc ferries!" Sign before yelling at the cabbie to pull over and launching the contents of my stomach all over the base of the sign through the cab window as traffic whizzed by, people honking, etc.

I still blame the Canucks.

Long Chile was a silly place.

I don't know about the AirHawk. I have seen a number of people with the Sears. For the price, if they last a season or 2, you are probably doing well.

Today I learned that the second quarter of college looks like itā€™s going to be as dull as the first...

Luckily Iā€™ve got two pretty fun math classes, and one of them Iā€™ve necer had any experience in at all (econ 201, intro to macroeconomics) so that will keep me happy. The other one is calc 1 which I took in high school but want the review before slamming myself with the rest of the math classes I have coming. 1 day in and iā€™m already feeling like itā€™s going to slow. Oh well, review and gpa boost (:

And then English 101. Bleh...

TIL that a young college student is just like I was 30+ years ago. Excited about STEM classes, dismissive of English 101, yet unable to write a paragraph without an error. Don't be too sure about that English class. ;)

In my defense, I hate typing on my iPhone...

Does that fix it? ;)

(Ps-my grade in 101 is a 98, only because a group project brought it down. My section on the project was graded flawlessly ;)

Today most of you reading this thread will learn that Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day. February 12, 1809.

Talk about a day that changed the course of human history.
