Got the game, but no computer to play it.. yet.
I did have my wide angle lens out today to take some pictures of my kitchen. In trying to decide what to shoot tonight, I thought I'd try my hand at some closeup shots @ 12mm.
I'm seriously lacking creativity at the moment - and even the motivation to PP. Hoping to break out of the slump soon, though the kitchen is taking up all my time and sucking my mental juices dry.
The only thing I've learned in this ordeal is that demolition is really like slave labour. No wonder contractors charge big bucks for these type of work.
Btw, this game better be good... lf anyone plays WH Online and want some power-up, let me know.. lt came with the game.

I was having a blah day as I making a mad rush to finish removing all the old tiles. Moreoever, my Project 365 has entered the lull part of the cycle - grabbing a picture every day is starting to feel tedious.
During a tile removal break, I realized I still needed a picture today. Shawn's photo of the day inspired me to think of what I did collect...LEGO was the one and obvious answer.
I have quite a vast collection of LEGO, with sets dating back to early 80's. I still have an unbroken streak of Lego's sets every year for 20+ years (longer than my National Park's streak). However, in recent times, it's come down to only a set or two per year.
Most of my LEGO sets are packed away in boxes in my basement, since I don't have room to display them. :x Not having the sets, I'm forced to substitute with a picture of LEGO instruction manuals.
So here's a sampling of some of my manuals, with my favourite set thus far being the X-Wing Collector's Edition in the forefront.
P.S. And yes, those are exactly what you think. :P

After 6 years, I finally got my EZPass. Compared to the 407ETR, EZPass is loads better.
1. There is no rental fee for transponder.
2. I-90 costs on NY averages about 4.6 cents / mile ~ 2.9 cents /km.
Let's look at 407ETR now...
1. $2.50 / month rental.
2. 19.85cents / km!! PLUS a 25 cents base fee.
If 407ETR isn't so damn convenient and if I wasn't ever in a rush, I'd never take it. :(
Oh, in the recent 407ETR bill, there was a small advertisement section asking people to check out the new rates for Feb 2010. 40 cents base fee plus minor adjustments to the kilometre rate. The cost of my two exit trips to/from work just increased by 15%.
I'm seriously considering returning my transponder.

Besides the community newspaper, I hardly ever get a chance to read a hard copy of the news nowadays. A sign of the times, perhaps? The only time I ever get to do that is if I'm waiting at some reception waiting for an appointment, and they happen to have a copy there.
I took my car in for a tire rotation today and there was a National Post lying around. I thought this newspaper went bankrupt a few months back, so I was a little surprised that the paper is still around.
Tire rotation was kind of funny... this new kid with an extrovert personality came out and asked what his next task was. The reception guy told him he had to do another rotation. His reaction was "Another one?!?!?" "Yup, just like your last one!".
When he was done, he came to me and said, "Your tires have so much tread, you didn't have to rotate them yet." The reception guy asked him how he measured. "With my finger!" The reception guy shook his head and went out to check with an actual instrument. He did confirm that my tires had very little wear despite having ran 20k, and the wear that it did have was very uniform. Score!
The exchange between this new mechanic and his mentor made my day. Oh yeah, I guess I drive more like Button than Hamilton.

One of my Boxing Day purchases - a new microwave from Future Shop. The original microwave arrived, but thank to the packing engineers at Panasonic, they decided to place the glass turntable just under the inside cover of the box. Even though the microwave itself is secured by thick Styrofoam blocks, the turntable had no padding whatsoever. As Murphy's Law dictates, the top of my box got jabbed during shipping. Upon unwrapping of my microwave, I discovered that the turntable was chipped.
Of course, I cannot accept such a defect. Searched around my local Future Shops, but none of them had the microwave in stock. I called their customer service, and the lady wanted to forward me to their warranty department. I asked what the warranty department is going to do? She replied that they'll fix my microwave. I countered with how they are planning on fixing a chipped glass piece. She admitted they will have to replace it for me. Same thing as me getting an exchange. So stupid.
Finally, over the weekend, I saw that the store in Newmarket had the microwave in stock. Made a special trip up to there, and despite the rather long wait in line, I finally got my microwave. Loving it so far.... especially Sensor Reheat. :)
