operator<<John Cormie's Radio Weblog(Untitled)- February 21, 2004 Mention Seattle and immediately people make some comment about "the weather." Matt is complaining about it before he even gets here! After living here for a week, I personally think it's pretty damn good. Sure there's a little bit of rain, but it's not cold and there's no snow!http://radio.weblogs.com/0102148/2004/02/20.html#a426 (Untitled)- February 18, 2004 It's barely past eight and I'm struggling to keep my eyes open because of the time difference from here to Waterloo to Morocco. But I must stay awake to be safe from that girl from "The Ring" who lives in my T.V.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102148/2004/02/17.html#a425 (Untitled)- February 17, 2004 Sunday: My flight was delayed 3 12 hours while they tried to fix the brakes on our plane, then they gave up, and we waited for a new plane to arrive. 3 12 hours is a long time to sit around the departure lounge but I would be fine with it if they just put up the new departure time up on the monitor right away. But no. You will wait your 3 12 hours 45 minutes, half an hour at a time as they repeatedly announce delay after further delay. Oh and we all got a $3 credit to spend at the snack bar as..http://radio.weblogs.com/0102148/2004/02/16.html#a424 (Untitled)- February 13, 2004 This Sunday evening I'll be on flight AC697 from Toronto to Seattle (direct). I'll arrive at about 8pm, get in my rental car and drive to my temporary place at817 - 1221 1st AvenueSeattle, Washington 98101United States of America(206) 264-7718In the morning, I'll take the bus to "New Employee Orientation" at PacMed and see what happens! Meanwhile, back in Waterloo, the movers will hopefully be packing my carefully layed out effects (this part has not yet been accomplished) for shipment to...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102148/2004/02/13.html#a423 (Untitled)- February 10, 2004 The trip is over and I'm back in cold snowy Waterloo. Saturday evening I went out for beers with my Gibraltar hostel roomates, a German kid and this crazy old Indian guy who wouldn't stop talking. The next day, I took the bus to Malaga, then the plane to Paris. I only had time to do one thing in Paris, so I walked to the Eiffel tower and took a taxi back the hostel just before it closed for the night.In the morning, my 2 euro watch from Morocco started malfunctioning (maybe because of the cold).http://radio.weblogs.com/0102148/2004/02/10.html#a422 (Untitled)- February 7, 2004 Gibraltar is the most expensive place on earth. But setting prices in pounds is their way of pretending that it's not. Oh, only 2.49 for a Whopper Wait that's $6.50 Canadian.I walked to the top of the rock using the crumbling staircase with broken handrails to avoid the overpriced gondolla. It's okay up there I guess. The monkeys are so used to tourists that they just totally ignore you.Also, half the people here are Spanish so it's hard to pretend you're in England.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102148/2004/02/07.html#a421 |
