van: confirmed

3646 Alrighty, I’m gonna go see shesa get hitched to that crazy-but-excellent beau of hers at the end of August. This means a trip back to Vancouver, and I’m totally stoked about going. Tickets are booked, the hotel is booked, and now all I need to do is make sure I get to see all […]

ron maclean vs. colin campbell

During the second intermission of Game 4 of the finals on Monday, Ron MacLean interviewed Colin Campbell and took him to task for some of the calls and lack of calls during the playoffs. Campbell tried to spin it a little with the old “what do you want us to do, it’s the playoffs, and […]

which superhero are you?

Calling Moggy out on this one. So, which superhero are you, anyways? I’m pleased with my result, and even more pleased that Wonder Woman was nowhere near the top (although we shall not speak of Robin being so high on the list, ’cause that really chaffs my nads). I am, I ammmmmm, I am Iron […]

woah, canada.

Thanks to the folks in Edmonton this eve for a kick-ass rendition of our national anthem on live TV. Paul Lorieau has been making a habit lately of turning the pre-game singing duties of O Canada over to the assembled masses at Rexall Place. It’s working. They sing it loud and proud in Oil Country, […]

true dat

Nothing like hitting the nail right fucking on the head. (Expletive deleteds not required, but added because god dammit, the Roloson nonsense just ain’t right) I admit it, I’m still hoping the Oilers pull it out tonight on Saturday.

3,000

Wow. Jen hit 3,000 pics on flickr today. The amazing thing is how many of those 3,000 pics are a delight to look at. She’s super-talented, and I strongly encourage you to check out her pics and writings if you haven’t already. Congrats jen, ’tis truly awesome.

back

It’s been a busy few days, with an unscheduled trip to Toronto a whole day after returning from two weeks overseas. The nonsense that Mapleflot put me through seven days ago feels like it was seven years ago, and London is a surprisingly distant memory already. I’m fried, and feel like a truck hit me. […]

who knew?

If you use the phrase “mickey mouse bullshit” to describe a process, the owner of that process may be offended. I will have to use that phrase more often.

friday night

I always thought the MTV version of Big Brother was the most vacuous, no-talent, inane, and worthless piece of shit I ever had the misfortune to channel-surf through. Turns out I was mistaken; the origin of the show is much, much worse. Think Glitter meets a Paris Hilton memoirs docukmentary combined with a Jenny Craig […]

it’s not nearly all bad, it’s really quite good

So, despite the hotel and lack of network access outside work hours (which is actually not a bad thing, I’ve read three books since arriving), I’m actually enjoying my trip here. I’m actually being productive, and have been contributing something worthwhile (in my mind) for the first time in a very long time. I got […]
