things i learned… November 27, 2006

• in the states, 5 chicken nuggets cost ONE DOLLAR.  so 75 nuggets for a car full of people costs $15! no WONDER americans love their fastfood, it’s so damn cheap!
• passport/birthcert are RECOMMENDED to cross the border, in addition to photo ID.  what that actually means is that if you don’t have them with you, prepare to answer questions like, “don’t you think that in this day and age it’s important to carry your passport with you??”
• celebratory duty-free chocolates are to be eaten only after successfully crossing the border.  failure to adhere to this will anger the border gods.
• having a 2am sit-up competition will have consequences.  bad consequences, lasting for many days afterwards. (ok, that’s my own fault for being such a lazyass….)
• divide and conquer doesn’t work when trying to master piano pieces.  it takes four hands (with gr 9 and 10 piano) to butcher a piece that roger (the pianist guy from ACI) can sightread while having a casual conversation with the people beside him
• if you want to be first in the best buy line, you have to be waiting since 5am the day before.  if you arrive at 3:45am for a 4am sale, expect the line to already be wrapped around 3 sides of the building
• if you DID arrive at 3:45 am for a 4am sale, and DIDN’T expect the line to already be wrapped around 3 sides of the building, don’t bother waiting.  instead, talk to the comquest guys who are giving away free doughnuts and tropicana juice. then leave to go to other stores and come back later.
• it’s cold at 3:45am
• daniel craig is not really that good-looking…but there’s something about his character that just makes him so sexy!
• i like suzy because she’s just as lazy as me.  suzy is a dog
• people look like retards while playing with the wii.  the wii is made for people like me who can’t play real video games. from this point onwards, the nintendo wii will be referred to as the jack-off game.
• at the duty free shop, beer is cheaper than water. ($12.99 for a 24!)
• jeff’s sister has a friend writing letters to her from prison
• i can’t afford to shop at neiman marcus or saks fifth avenue…but it’s still fun to walk around.
• great lakes mall was probably designed by the same people who did vaughn mills.  the style and the layout of the malls are almost exactly the same.
• and finally….jeff has an extremely backhanded way of giving compliments.  last year’s ‘compliment’ was “you’re not hot, you’re cute.  that means that you’re non-vomit-inducing“. this year’s ‘compliment’ is…….
