unmitigated crap

Posted on July 9th, 2003 in my ramblings.

Finally, after a few weeks of unmitigated fluff and crap, finally some good movies are coming out this week, movies that I will actually pay money for. Yay! The other night I watched Terminator 2 for the first time. It was good. Our kitten is coming along nicely, his name is now Felix and he […]

The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable. The country might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your weapons inspectors mandate.

Pacific Mall

Posted on June 30th, 2003 in my ramblings.

Yesterday we went to Pacific Mall in Markham, which is apparently the largest Chinese indoor mall in North America. It is quite a place to go, especially for an ignorant white man like me. I’d never been, as it was built while I was in Guelph doing my degree. There is a ton of stuff […]

big truck gets stuck

Yesterday, a delivery truck got stuck just in front of work here due to the temporary insanity of the King St Streetcar Track Reconstruction. It was pretty interesting, and I took a handful of photos, which you can see here.

oh. my. god. There’s this company in the UK that offers a service to drive you home in your own car after a night of drinking, in order to prevent people from drunk driving. How do they do it? Their people ride the Monkey Bike Puzzle – a 49cc 3-speed scooter that can be disassembled […]

Damn you, HMV!

I swear I’ve wrote an entry with that title before… HMV doesn’t have the new Guster album yet. HMV won’t have it until July 15. Amazon.ca does have it, and will send it to me for $18.86. Hrm.

good and crappy at the same tiem

Good: the Concert for Toronto. Except that SkyDome SUCKS for concerts. It was like having a concert in an oil drum. Bad: misato got 0wned by some script kiddies. Rebuild time. Bastards.

I’ve been listening to Prefuse 73 quite a lot lately. Jordan turned me on to them (him) a little while ago. So much so that I bought their latest album, which is pretty damn good IMHO. Also, freakin’ Guster is opening for freakin’ Sam Roberts on Sept 19th! Once I saw that I jumped all […]

Guess who just gave me a call? My car insurance broker. He had good news: because Sandy and I are carrying our apartment insurance on the same company as our car insurance, I save 5% on my car insurance renewal. I already knew that, thanks Scott. He also had other news: our premium is up […]

I’m playing with the site, tweaking some things and starting to convert the old pages to the new look by MTifying the whole thing.
