Journal glacial23's Journal: roadtrip 2
Some quick thoughts on my road trip to Canada this last weekend.
0. The Glacier Hills Service Area on the OH turnpike sucks.
1/2. Pittsburgh really is the Emerald City. You drive through miles of nothing, round that corner on I-279 and BAM! There's downtown Pittsburgh!
1. Edinboro's radio station isn't half bad(88.9 FM) At least, whoever was on around 10:00pm Friday, anyway.
2. I got this weird post-apocalyptic vibe at the Angola service center on the NY turnpike. All the McDonald's employees had this shellshocked expression on their faces. I think this was because of the power outages they'd been experiencing all night. I also think the spikes may have taken out their cash registers, so they were doing things by hand. I dunno.
3. Had a diner-style breakfast at a greek restaurant. 'Nuff said.
4. There's a certain sound that occurs in casinos. Specifically, when you're in an area packed with slot machines, this weird high pitched whine occurs. It sounds a little like parts of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. Maybe it's just the resonant frequency of my ears. I'd record it, but I get the feeling the casino personnel wouldn't understand and kick my ass out of there.
5. People are really bad at karaoke. Seriously. At least know the flow of the song you're going to sing please.
6. Video games are definitely more fun under the influence.
7. The incline of Clifton Hill is directly proportional to your current level of inebriation.
8. Molson XXX keeps the Duty-Free shops in business. I was disappointed they had no Waterloo Dark.
9. Border crossings are still relatively painless.
10. Pittsburgh's skyline is really pretty at night. Especially with techno turned up to 11 on the sound system.
