vivid

I don’t normally dream, at least I don’t think I do. The only time I can remember dreaming is because my dream is actually a nightmare. I die a lot in them (that whole “you don’t die in your sleep” is so much bullshit), but they’re normally memorable in their imagery. Last night I had […]

the new gas game

Ah, supply and demand. It’s the justification companies use when they’re fucking you without your consent and you’re telling them to stop while they say “hell no”. Gas companies have long played this game in Canada, with prices starting high on Friday afternoon and dropping over the weekend. It was not uncommon before all the […]

The recipes aren’t posted, but someone’s scanned the the lurvley pictures and added brief summaries like this one, for “orange fluff”: Ok, before you laugh, […]

the puck drops

So the “new” NHL started last night, and I tuned in to have a boo. I watched the last half of the Ottawa-Toronto game after getting back from dinner with the Wednesday night crew, and the first period of the Phoenix-Vancouver game. The “Battle of Ontario” reminded me a lot of the last NHL game […]
