… wrong with my laptop.  It’s acting and reacting in ways I cannot even explain.  Seriously worried.april 21 2008

Something clicked today and now I just… get it.

Wasn’t always this way though:april 20 2008

– to the people getting off the streetcar when I almost drove by, sorry.  Didn’t know I too was supposed to stop when the streetcar did.

– to the guy I ignored crossing the street with his arm out in a weird way, sorry.  Now I know that’s the sign for “stop dickhead, I’m crossing here”.

– to the 6 people I almost took out on Bay Street at lunch time, sorry, that was just sheer terror.

You know how I got good?  For weeks I’ve been going out very very late at night and practicing driving all over the city.  I’ve accidently gone down a lot of streetcar-only lanes, but then I just hop over the curb so it’s okay.

… into front-row Raptor’s tickets, ha!april 10 2008

I thought a fun episode would be “Exploring Canada’s NBA Team”, so I wrote to the guy in charge telling him that and asking for a ‘one-day media credential’ (that’s industry speak for “press pass” I learned).  He wrote back saying no problem, there should be room for me in the press area up in the nosebleeds.

Last night I arrived at the gate, hung the pass around my neck and after that no one looked at me twice.  

So I wandered all over the place… backstage, the staff cafeteria, peeked into the dressing room corridor and then settled into the front row and took in the game. 

Even if the subway exploration had’ve worked out I’d have learned nothing about the city, because I never would have popped up above ground.  Wow, Keri.march 26 2008
