My Life = Squash + Everything Else

As of Saturday, May the 9th, I am on the Ontario U18 D Squash team, a pretty awesome achievement. There is only one problem. In the past 7 days, I have played no less than 34 games of squash, including 5 full matches (Best of 5 games), one of which was against Saskatchewan B. As a result I am very throughly tired. I would hate it, but I've really fallen in love with squash again. I first played the game in South Africa, where I played for my school for 1.5 years. I did play for a few months after moving to Canada, but soon stopped. I've now started again as of January. I feel like I can suddenly play the type of game I've always wanted to, but never could when I was younger due to my lack of strength. As a result, I am currently in heaven concerning squash, but multiple factors, including a nagging elbow and mother, could turn my fairytale into a nightmare. I'm just hoping that it'll last.

Car Indicator Lights

Alright, before I begin, let it be known that I am not usually this OCD. Let me make that clear. But anyway, here is something that bugs me: car indicator lights that don't blink at the same speed. Honestly, my brain goes berserk whenever I'm sitting in a turning lane and I'm looking at the car ahead of me. I have my car's indicator ticking away like a metronome, leaving me no choice but to try and tap a body part (such as a finger or a foot) to the rhythm of the other car. Which is invariably rushing/dragging.

So, this is a message for all prospective car designers out there. Get together with all the other big companies and decide on standard blink rate! TVs have managed it, as have telephones, flourescent lights, movie cameras, dial-up modems, sound editors (sort of), computer monitors...etc. I know that this won't mean that they'll be blinking at the same time, but a) off-beats are fun!, and b) we can incorporate an atomic clock some time in the future.
