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

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
Peach Nehi
I visited a shop in Whitby called Soda Pop Centre. These are my stories. Peach Nehi 354ml Ingredients: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, citric and malic acid, potassium, benzoate, potassium citrate, artificial flavour, gum acacia, and red 40. Linky link. For those unfamiliar, MASH’s Radar O’Reilly’s poison of choice was a Grape Nehi. The young gentle company clerk was not interested in the harder drinks that his colleagues chose, instead he went for Grape Nehi. I didn’t know it was a real drink, but apparently it is, and the store had the grape variety, but since I’m not a fan of grape pop, I decided to go… Read More »Peach Nehi
Apple & Canadian English
Apple has a long history of hatred towards English Canada, and if Apple were a Quebec company, I might perhaps understand, but instead Apple is a corporation founded in the United States, who’s Canadian office is in Ontario1. Why they have this hatred, I don’t know, perhaps Apple is loyal to the concept of Manifest Destiny and wishes to see the United States of America stretch throughout the North American continent, or perhaps us north of the 49th2 just don’t even register on Apple’s radar. A HISTORY This post is mostly relevant to iOS, but I believe that it’s important enough to give some historical context. Starting with what I… Read More »Apple & Canadian English
