Nothing like shaking up the week by finding out you’re going to be in London (no, not Ontario) for a couple weeks. It’s actually kinda cool – I’ve been to London more than ten times, and have never really played tourist. This time I’ll bring my camera, and make sure I devote the weekend to […]

0 for 3.5

With Edmonton winning last night’s game, I am on the verge of not picking the winner in every single playoff series of the second round. I didn’t think Anaheim or Carolina were that good, I should’ve known better with Ottawa, and we’ll see if Edmonton’s got the grit to finish it off at what is […]

finish the fight… next year… maybe

4035 Bungie’s finally got around to announcing Halo 3, which is probably about the only reason I can think of at this point of wanting an Xbox 360 over a Wii (no, Sony doesn’t even bear cosideration at this point). Thankfully, the game won’t come out until 2007, which probably means sometime in 2008 (if […]

Gosh, I’m really sorry to hear about how upset the pilots are that they’re subjected to the same indignities as the people who punch their meal ticket. God knows, I’ve never felt that way. The association says it has received “complaints from pilots who are finding the screening process increasingly annoying, often demeaning and in […]

sometimes, i actually like toronto

While getting out of the cab upon returning from a client meeting today, a gentleman on the street walked up to me and said “I love you, man”. I replied “Why thank you, I love you, too.”. With that, he finished the exchange with “Well you’ve got a pretty shitty way of showing it. Now […]

it’s my party…

…so today is the start of something that I’m not sure I can finish. I’m going to try, but I dunno how well it’s going to go. There’s that old saying “A fool and his money are soon parted.” I have lived and breathed this as mantra, although I occasionally changed it to “A fool […]

giggle

3948 Some things make me giggle more than others for no good reason. Obviously, I’ve been trolling through my pics today, and I came across this one. This pic is from the first game of the 2004 co-ed jambouree (we won the rec division), and every single person in the foreground of this pic (i.e. […]

tooting of one’s horn

3322 Jeez I love how the pics I took last summer turned out. The blues and greens make me happy, and the shots from the site of the Lone Cyprus turned out better than I ever could have imagined. They’re all unretouched, and it really was that gorgeous that day. Apologies for foisting them on […]

8 years

Huh. I missed the squid’s eighth birthday. I don’t really feel bad about it, but it’s interesting to reflect on how much has changed since the domain was originally registered. People have moved on, married, had kids, changed jobs multiple times, fallen off the planet, etc. I’ve held five jobs and lived in four different […]
