tvordljThe internets are driving me nuts today. All the sites i use seem very slow. I thought it was just me, or my isp but i notice a few others are finding some things slow so i guess there's something broken down the chain somewhere. This too shall pass but it's frustrating and i'm most definitely not patient for stuff like that.
Anyway.
One of my vices, occasionally? Lotto scratch cards. Every now and then i like to buy a Bingo scratch card which is wierd because i hate going to Bingo as a passtime but the scratch game i do like. And i quite often will win a free ticket on it. Sometimes a free ticket on the next one too but that's usually it. On a rare occasion i think i won 10 or 12 dollars on one. I got one the other day and won 2 free tickets so i went to another store and got two more. Didn't want to go to the same Lotto booth, superstitiously, because i thought perhaps there would be a better chance of getting another winner from a different spot.
I was right.
FIFTY DOLLARS!!!! W00t!!!! I think that's the most i've ever won on a lottery ticket of any kind. I know it's not "the big one" but still! It bought me a really nice tub of body butter, a Subway and a few groceries with some change left over :)
My trainer had me away from the machines on Wednesday and spent the whole hour doing exercises with the free weights and stability ball and boy, i felt it for three days after! Owie!
And .... 21 sleeps!!! Yay! I bought a little map app for my ipod the other day with Copenhagen maps and it's apparently got a GPS-ish feature where you can find where you are and then see what is in the area for sights, restaurants and shopping. It can be used offline too which is handy. iPhones are always connected but the iPod needs a wifi connection for some stuff. I have Google maps on it but it only works with the wiFi. This is nice for the one city we're going to be in. Useful! It's even got some photos and a mini-guide book in it, for history and descriptions of the sights etc. And it will let you know where nearby wiFi spots are! I expect it's going to go out of date before too long as restaurants open and close but it's good for going now.
