WASHROOMS AND SUCH
Allo from Canada. Woot. Bloggage. Even though it's the last freaking day... night... yeah. Leaving tomorrow for home, but I'm bored, everything's packed away, so I'll blog tonight.
- Okay, um, yeah. Canada is really interesting. Came up here for me cousin's graduation from the U of Western Ontario, and to meet up with all of my aunts and uncles and cousins and such that I haven't seen in forever. And to see the interesting sights and sounds of Toronto, of course. First off, the graduation. It was... le interesting. Simply put, there was a very wanted man giving a speech up there. Dr. Mollungtaugher... or something. Don't kill me for getting his name wrong. He's big on women's rights in Canada, and also supports women's abortions in Canada, which is gigantic controversy up chere. So when we got to the graduation, there were like... hundreds of protestors waiting outside, with posters and banners and chanting and blah blah yadda yadda. And the police and SWAT team and all that good stuff was out there in full force and all that goodness. And us poor Americans had no bloody clue what was going on. But eh, the graduation went on fine, that dude's speech was cool, (two standing ovations, mixed in with some booing) and that was that.
Okay, driving around Canada... very cool. Even though it took a hell of a long time to get there, (14 hour drive, yes, DRIVE to Canada) twas still good to see states that I'd never been to... like, any state off of the East Coast. Eh. Bah. Hm. They had really cool rest stops. Like the one with a huge giant food court and gift shop inside (ahh... Starbucks after 8 hours in a car is godly.) But Toronto was where it was all at. The place is bustling... like New York City bustling, but instead of people walking along the sidewalks and such, there was just a shitload of cars and people riding on bikes. Possibly just as many people on bike than in car. But it was all good. Cool as hell arcades... like Adventure Landing x5. And ahh.... very hot gamer girls up in Canada. Sweet bliss. But yeah... oh yeah, there was a rediculously cool little town up there called London. (y'know, like the one in England...) The whole entire town was alive... not Toronto alive, where everything seemed all busy and such, and everyone was in a rush. It was a laid back little town. People riding round on bicycles built for 10, street performers, people of all diversities chilling at the local coffee shop and chatting... awesomeness. My dream town, if it weren't all the freaking way in Canada. And speaking of the coffee shop (called Tim Hortons) there is a hell of a lot of them up there. On every street corner, there's a damn Tim Hortons. They're literally within walking distance of each other... a bit of overkill. Eh.
- To stray off of the subject completely and utterly, Ninja Gaiden is one bitch of a game. Hardest thing ever. Roar. Easily the hardest game ever... but it's hard in a fair way. Like, if you die, you'll think I deserved that... not the usual BS! OMFG! like in other games.
- Ooh. Batman Returns is on. Sweet!
- Speaking of TV, the French channel up here is hella wierd. It's... just odd. They have every variety of gameshows. From the sort that's like Spanish gameshows (the ones where they dress up all wierd and do crazy shit and such) to some wierd show where they do rediculously complex math equations... in front of a live studio audience. That cheer like crazy while they solve them. And I couldn't understand a damn word of it. Rawr. And then they played those wierd Indian movies on one of the channels... you know the type. The love stories about the two families who don't want their children to marry, but the children elope or whatever and theres always trillions of explosions and whatnot. I watched like three of them, and they seemed to be the exact same story all three times. Wiggy.
Okay, I'm out... time to sleep... for the 14 hour ride back. Like, yay.

You know why the arcades are so cool? It's cause it gets FREAKING COLD THERE IN THE WINTER AND THERE IS NOTHING TO DO
