Yes, I do this stuff. Openly.
Friend: Did you get invited to [name]'s birthday party?
Me: Nope! Wanna get me an invite?
Friend: The party was yesterday.

A New York Times article about The TV show, not the movie. Yes, it’s a TV show. A really, really good one.

I had four pieces of deep fried chicken for lunch yesterday. Immediately after, I inhaled two pieces of freshly greased roti soaked in oily curry sauce. Later that night I cut up pieces of banana and smothered chunky peanut butter over each slice and ate it. Much like what I did this afternoon. Tonight I went to a hockey game and dipped dozens of nachos into a steamy side of melted Kraft cheese.

questionable advice.
Me: I want to buy suspenders. What do you think about that?
Trusted friend: Initial reaction is OMG yuck. But I've also seen some people pull it off. So, you have a 60% chance.
Trusted friend: Can you get rainbow ones?
This was touching. →

my Blog vs. my Tumblr →
Let me just preface by saying, I feel incredibly self-important as I write this, but I think there’s a need to clear up any confusion to my devout readership of three. I guess I could’ve just sent you each an email, but I didn’t want this very critical message to be lost amongst the frivolity of your inboxes. So I’ve recently started a Tumblr in addition to my regular blog.
Tumblr is home to the...

Joeys - holy apple pie.
WatchMy Favorite part - Geoff: Cooper, have you ever played ‘Mass Effect’? (subtext: Do you even know what the F you’re talking about?) Cooper: (laughs)…no…. Geoff: …Right…

Pandas are not food, people. This is such a crazy hot picture of her. I wonder if Alanis is pissed. I would be depressed if my ex was with Scarlett Johansson. That’s like winning the breakup by a score of 6,392,378,239 to 3.

Shirley's club review
Ginger 62 - any place with red velvet walls is a little bit gay. friend: That Asian guy was so hot. He had really nice arms - they were bigger than my face! me: Gross. No photos were taken because techno music rendered me unmotivated. Too bad. You need to see those mega arms.
Shirley's restaurant review
Trafalgars - yummy risotto, salty fries, delicious lemon dacquoise (Are pictures like these dorky? I don’t usually take pictures of myself and food, but it seems like lots of people do and I’m leaning towards conformity as a life direction.) REDACTED: Apparently the pic is not showing up. Oh well. It’s me over a plate of steak and fries, smiling. Naked.

So all three of my best friends are now in happy, committed relationships. I, on the other hand, am a level 7 priest, wandering the stone paved roads of Stormwind Castle, looking for a candlemaker, while trying to complete the quest for the Garment of Light in the World of Warcraft. God. I really need to get my life together.

Aww, John Mayer. →
Major plus for defending the ex. Negative a million for dating her in the first place.
Upon deeper consideration.
So apparently Apple stocks tanked during the Stevenote. I guess Wallstreet isn’t crazy about anorexia, and neither are the typecasted Mac evangelists. I don’t know, Steve. You had me at “MacBuh…”, but you lost me at “no optical drive, no ethernet, no accessible way to change the battery, one USB port…” You’re still good looking though. The...

MacBook Air could be the end of Mr. Maroo. Only if it comes in 13” or smaller. Hey, size does matter. A lot. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
It's really windy.
I was walking to my car from the skytrain and the wind, literally, almost knocked me out. I lost footing and was close to faceplanting. I managed to regain my composure though. When I got home, I decided to eat more food.

I work in an industry dominated by men. I think I’m becoming one. An ultra nerdy one at that.
Here’s a list of my recent activities:
- spent a Friday night watching ‘Batman Begins’
- spent a Saturday night watching ‘Casino Royale’
- bought an Xbox 360 and played videogames for the entirety of my holiday
- stumbled upon Best Damn’s Top 50 Unforgettable Sports Moments and was completely...

Theory: Mr. Rogers was not human
or he was just superhuman. “Mister Rogers was known as one of the toughest interviews because he’d often befriend reporters, asking them tons of questions, taking pictures of them, compiling an album for them at the end of their time together, and calling them after to check in on them and hear about their families. He wasn’t concerned with himself, and genuinely loved hearing the life...

Neotronic Arts
Douglas Coupland’s bestseller, jPod, is coming to life on Tuesday, 1/7, at 9 PM PST on CBC. It’s about 5 programmers working for a videogame developer called Neotronic Arts. So subtle. More importantly, it stars….JASON FREAKING SEAVER. Nothing but the best for Canadian programming. Hey, show me that smile again.
