Whereis.com vs Google Maps Australia*

*A review which proves why I only wrote one review for APC the entire time I was on staff.

Tonight when I was looking up directions on how to get to my counselling session (tell-all next post), I realised that I should try Google Maps AU now the Aussie one’s been set up for a while. Whereis.com is Telstra-owned and frankly is a piece of shit.

Whereis

Whereis is still pretty shithouse, although they’ve recently updated their map-scrolling technique (thank fuck).

Google Maps Australia

I find the map representation to be far better on this one. And even though it suggests that I take a much longer route compared to Whereis, the speed of the google server wins me over.

So for me driving directions requirements (in Sydney, at least) I am totally dumping Whereis for Google Maps. It was bound to happen, eventually.

This has become my theme song of the moment

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you’re out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that’s my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you’re in control

Well, I think you’re crazy
I think you’re crazy
I think you’re crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it’s no coincidence I’ve come
And I can die when I’m done
(But I’m not done)

Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe you’re crazy
Maybe we’re crazy
Probably

Everybody loves Ash

I’ve known this girl since she was 14 and sleeping with guys she met on the internet. I love her to bits and wish I could take her up on her offer. Shame I’m not a lesbian, really.

Somehow I need to pay off what I owe from the India trip AND save up for the China/Europe trip in like 15 weeks. Yep. Anyone need a prostitute? I give EXCELLENT head. Sheldon won’t mind as long as I give him a cut.
