You gots to be trippin'

Its time to party and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of gum

So now that I'm done...Its time to travel a little. My first stop is Quebec City to visit my grand parents. I left on a thursday and drove through montreal to get to quebec city. Its actually a lot closer than I thought. Apparently everytime I get into my car it starts raining. Like I when I came back from waterloo, rain, going to quebec city, rain, coming back, rain.

Quebec City is an amazing place. A lot of history and nice places to see, very european. I use to spend a lot of summers there growing up so its kind of weird to see everything from a different perspective, and I don't mean more mature I mean like everything from 2 feet higher... Before getting to Quebec my grand-father sent me a hand-written letter outlining some proposed plans for what I can do during the stay. He really likes history so it was mostly visiting every musuem and historic site within 150km of quebec, jam packed days of tours, maps, the camera, walking, guide books and all that stuff... My grand mothers cooking is amazing and I really missed that too, especially after the last two years of eating at every place in all the cities I've been working or studying at...

While I was in quebec I was read this book by Michael Crichton and this other one by John Grisham. I really like their writting style, really easy read, can plow through a book in a day or so. So I'm reading these books and when I'm done I kind of realize something about myself. Like when I do something for a while I really get into and incorporate that into my everyday life. Like if I played minesweeper all day in the library instead of studying, and if I see tiles on the ground they look like minesweeper blocks I wanna press. Or if I'm coding all day for a few days every is a function or parameter to me, the coffee, the printer, pencils everything. And with the reading I found myself saying things to myself like, "as I walked down the busy streets of Quebec I asked myself, why am I narrating my own life??"... Does anyone else do this???

Yeah this post started off as a weak summary of my trip to quebec and end off by this weak sentence trying to explain my digression and using big words...

And the award for geekiest anectode goes to (cue the drumroll) Diego Matute.

So keeping with this observation, is poonani a function:
