that purple stuff
Almost eleven-o-clock at night on a Sunday and I’ve got a strange craving for a sugar loaded grape Crush soda. Let me pause before continuing so I can collect one of these delicious treats.
Several minutes pass
Well so much for that idea. The grocer across the street probably hasn’t had a carbonated grape drink pass through [...]
out in the cold
I’m three Kronenbourgs and a Caeser into the night. What better time to write a post about nothing than now? Let’s kick things off with some Yo Majesty, because they are everything aweseome right now on my stereo.
Actually to be honest that’s not whats playing right now. I’ve spent most of the week listening [...]
ye olde wishlist
Someone (my mother) asked me this week what I would like for Christmas this year. Despite what a large amount of my blog posts might tell you, I don’t spend much time clamouring for gifts. The fact is, making a list of “cool shit” that I find when browsing around the net and then posting [...]
back it up
As I’m sitting here on an rainy Friday, diligently backing up over 500 gigs of data from one hard drive to another before the old one dies, I’ve decided to post. Copying this much information, while relatively easy and simple, is rather time consuming when you are using limited transfer rates.
What’s new these days? [...]
the cafe crawl
Last Friday I drank a lot of coffee, perhaps too much coffee.
With a handful of co-workers and peers from Cafe Crema we set out on an express cafe crawl through Vancouvers streets. Robert Csar put together a much more thorough post than I can manage on the subject, He was also our ringleader of [...]
the sweet stuff
A couple months ago my bike was stolen right from my patio. Invasion of my privacy aside, this was also my transportation when I am not using my illegitimate Simon Fraser bus pass. Since the bus pass is about to expire I went browsing the ditches of Craigslist for a new bicycle. Below is the [...]
2 espresso, 2 muffins
I would like to read more. Investing time in the type of fantasy fiction stories I usually do seems less plausible with an occupied schedule these days. Short stories or novellas, the kind of books that win awards, all seem to be of length I require. Maybe I could pick up some hardbound leather editions [...]
kopiko is delicious
I’ve never tried Kopiko candies before, but the name was familiar. Today, by chance a customer I was helping at the Folk Festival dropped a few candies from her purse onto the table top.
“Candy!” I exclaimed, and therefore was offered to try one out. So good, so really really good.
Imagine the insides of a [...]
just cut it off
More music, more Swans. The last studio recording put out while side projects of Gira and Jarboe were starting to shape into more absolute pathways, Soundtracks for the Blind feels far more sinister throughout than their already dark and depressive catalogue. If asked what track on this two disc set is a favourite I would [...]
my virtual library
Earlier today, I received an email with the Telus newsletter. Normally I would toss this straight into the trash folder and forget about it but this time for some reason I actually read the damn thing and actually followed one of the links it featured as it caught my eye. The link in question was [...]
