Yesterday in one word

In the grand fashion of the Outburst board game, let me give you a list of ten synonyms to describe yesterday :
  1. Advil
  2. Tylenol
  3. Anacin
  4. Motrin
  5. Aleve
  6. Bayer's
  7. Exedrin
  8. Phenaphen
  9. Nuprin
  10. Empirin
In this new word game, pleonasms are highly appreciated. Translated in real life, I would like any (and every) combination from the 10 above.

Current location

Yesterday was a post about where I'm from. Today's about where I am. Currently living at latitude 45° 29' North and longitude 75° 40' West (AKA Gatineau). I work in reputably "boring" Ottawa.

Ottawa from Gatineau

Truthfully, Ottawa does have a few strikes against her... but I used (in)famous quote marks for a reason. Maybe the first impression you get from a city :
  1. mostly filled with politicians,
  2. ...and government workers,
  3. where everything close as soon as the sun is down,
is rather bland but you have to consider:
  1. recent politicians have created the best soapish drama available off cable,
  2. yours truly is a government employee (at least that's my current cover story. Granted, this might not have a lot of weight right now but wait until you know me better... :-)
  3. darkness is scary ( or at least brings in the funny; 2 points for you if you get the reference without using the link).
My Using Quote Point is that boredom is in the eye of the "bebored". There's always something strange and/or interesting to find if you know where to look. (Or should I say how to look). At worse, get yourself a
  1. a well-stocked liquor cabinet;
  2. a boredness-repellent husband/wife/partner;
  3. a new attitude;
  4. all of the above.
