New OC Transpo Web site

Someone on the OC Transpo community on LiveJournal is reporting a new Web site for OC Transpo in the works.  Accessible at www.octranspo1.com, it is probably still under construction.  It was about time the site got a makeover.

Westboro at night

A hungry friend of mine wanted to go in Westboro yesterday evening for dinner. We stuffed ourselves with burgers at The Works (as if the Rib Fest wasn’t enough).

When I got back home, at the moment I sat down, another friend of mine invited me out in the Market. A bit late for me, but the night was young, so I met him. We had some sangria at a tapas bar and joined a coworker who was at Zaphod’s.

He stayed longer than me. Sadly, nothing brings out my antisocial character more than nightclubs. I simply enjoyed coming back home by myself, in the rain, at sometime around 1 AM.

The King of Pop beats it at 50

It’s all over the Web.  From CBC to Boing Boing, with 30% of all posts on Twitter about it, the news is out: Michael Jackson died of a cardiac arrest at 50.

I really like the way he brought his spirit to pop music during the 80’s.  I was born early in the decade, and some of my music preference has been shaped by famous artists like him.  Then again, I wouldn’t say I was a huge fan of him, but I have to admit some of his songs were quite catchy and had a new sound nobody has heard before.  The beat, the rhythm, the dance, the lyrics…  Everything was there for the world to enjoy.

It’s too bad he went through rough times at the end.

Someone's getting upset with laundry

Tue 23 Jun 2009

Irate letter about laundry

This letter wasn’t for me, but I still find it to be entertaining. Apparently someone let his or her load in the washing machine, preventing other people, like this unsatisfied tenant, from using it.

If the text isn’t clear in the photo of the letter, here’s a transcript:

Guess what?!?

You are NOT the only person in this building who uses the laundry.

That means you do NOT leave your damp dank underwear in the washing machine for HOURS on end leaving people like me have to clean up after your selfish egotistical ass!!

Grow up and get a life!

$2 does NOT rent a machine for the whole day!!

I wanted to leave a reply and write “It’s spelled ‘and’, not ‘end’”, but I thought that person is already having a bad day… and dirty clothes.

Pink Tree

Walking with my friend Chen last month along the Rideau Falls, we ended up at this blooming tree, next to the Embassy of France on Sussex Drive.
