Music Monday
I’ve been MIA for a bit, but I’m back. For those who don’t know I work for a school, I manage the IT Department. Life gets insanely busy at the end of August/early September.

Future
We live in the future! Things keep on popping up in my everyday life that just hammer in the fact that we live in the future. I was reading a book on my telephone. (A PDF displayed on my iPhone) Geordi’s PADD is real! Honestly, the real one is quite a bit cooler than the fictional one. (iPad) At my finger tips, I can see exactly where my friends are. (Google Latitude, Foursquare, Facebook Place) The news of the world comes to me, and I can sift through it as I like. (Google Reader) Celebrities talk to us. (Twitter, or specifically.) I can make a telephone call… from a boat… Read More »Future
Music Monday
Just bought Daniel Romano’s new solo album, so here’s some Attack In Black. I also bought the new Apples In Stereo records… Chubby, bearded, bald dudes need role models. Also bought the new Amy Millan record…
Capt’n Eli’s Strawberry Pop
I visited a shop in Whitby called Soda Pop Centre. These are my stories. Capt’n Eli’s Strawberry Pop 355ml Ingredients: Water, cane sugar, natural and artificial strawberry flavours, Red 40, citric acid, and sodium benzoate. Linky link. So, it’s been a fruity three weeks, we had tangerine and peach in the previous weeks, now it’s strawberry’s turn. I think next week will have to be another root beer, but who doesn’t love a root beer? I don’t recall ever having strawberry pop before, but it’s good. It reminds me of a strawberry wine, but not alcoholic (sadly), but we can adjust that surely. It’s quite sweet, but also quite refreshing… Read More »Capt’n Eli’s Strawberry Pop

Just bought this record… Also bought this record…
Jelly Belly Gourmet Soda: Tangerine
I visited a shop in Whitby called Soda Pop Centre. These are my stories. Jelly Belly Gourmet Soda: Tangerine 355ml Ingredients: Filtered carbonated water, cane sugar, citric acid, sodium benzoate, natural flavours, sodium citrate, and FD&C Yellow #6. Linky link. This one’s quite delicious. It tastes like a cross between an actual Jelly Belly and a freezie. With just a hint of sour, a bit more bubbly than the Nehi, it’s very distinct1. Though, the Nehi is the better of the two [↩]
Drunk pregnant women
My friend E.W. posted this to her Facebook wall, and there was a bit of an outrage. A few days later, CCM and JH were having a debate at a party, whether the same kind of response would happen if someone posted that about a pregnant woman drinking. I volunteered to take one for the team, I don’t think it got the response either of them wanted. Perhaps I just have weird friends who are more interested in Little Britain.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
When I heard that Edgar Wright was directing a film based on the Scott Pilgrim series of graphic novels, I was stoked. I wouldn’t let the cynicism of a certain Pilgrim fan-girl bring me down, and I’d hope for the best. I was wrong. I was completely and totally wrong. I expected this film to be amazing, and it went well above and beyond any expectations I had. The Story A young man named Scott Pilgrim meets a foreign girl named Ramona Flowers who recently moved to his city, he falls for her, but to win her, he must defeat her seven evil-exes. That’s pretty much the story in a… Read More »Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Richard Bell
Do yourself a favour, world. If you’re ever going to write a blog post about how awesome someone is, make sure that the next time you see them, you recognize them. I wrote a blog post about an author who I knew once upon a time from when I worked in sales, and her publisher even linked to it. Then I saw her on the weekend, and I didn’t recognize her. *facepalm* So, because of that, I’m going to prove that I have a horrible memory by writing about my other favourite customer from my times at That Shithole. Imagine a strange man coming up to you in your workplace,… Read More »Richard Bell
