amazing pictures from the inaugral singapore grand prix here. the shots of massa leaving his pit with the fuel rig still attached are great.

hopefully we’ll be able to find tickets for the japanese grand prix while we’re their.

one more thing

we’ve finally got a house to move into when we get back from vacation!!! by the time we move in it will have been almost 5 months of homelessness. blah!

la dee da dee, we like to partee..

i thought after working an almost 60 hour week to wrap up all my work shit before i go away i’d be relieved and ready for my vacation but somehow i’m not. if anything i’m filled with a sense of foreboding dread of the shit storm i’ll likely have to come back to. being an Account Manager sucks that way. everybody else is relying on you in order to do their shit.

anyhoo, the countdown is on, 2.5 days till i’m on a plane to the land of the rising sun.

filled up the iphone with subway maps from these guys. downloaded some extra iphone apps (lonely planet japanese phrasebook and chalkboard) to help with communicating with the locals. also grabbed a bunch of the superfuture maps and just emailed them to myself. sucks that the photo app can only handle pics up to 640×480.

we’ve done a bunch of research on getting around and talking to some friends about getting around there but i’m a little worried ’cause there’s some pretty obscure stores we’re trying to find and the addressing system there isn’t very easy to understand. but hey, isn’t that half the fun of travelling.

i hope to update via twitter and possibly photoblog to here from the iphone so stay tuned.

guess what i got?!

guess what i got?!

kidrobot mr. burns. with bobo!!!!

ps. if you haven’t read the bigfoot book get it now! funniest thing ever!

politics

so there’s a Canadian election coming up. i can’t say any of the candidates are remotely interesting. there’s something wrong when your vote is going to be for the least evil of all options. contrast this with the US election where Obama is so engaging and charismatic. can’t really speak to his party’s actual platform but damn if it isn’t so much more interesting than ours.

one more try

i’m going to give that whole social networking thing another go. i never got into myspace. got on facebook for a few months but it quickly drove me crazy. so i’ve decided to give twitter a go. nice and minimalist and simple. follow me at ‘mrbitterpants’

if this doesn’t work i’m going to move to a cabin in the woods with no electricity.
