I had a good friend hang out with me today who is visiting from New Brunswick. In trying to think of places that were fun and affordable I decided to show her the Distillery District. One of the downtown areas that was useless, and has now been wonderfully revitalized as an arts centre. I had
I just watched the first episode of the new V with my good friend Matthew Hoskin. We were discussing the show afterwards and both agreed it was quite good. V is definitely great SciFi for Primetime television. I realized though that one thing it was seriously lacking was the subtlety of the first few episodes
I drew this on my iPhone. It was pretty much an attempt to capture a moment where I felt like no one would understand. I subsequently had a chat with my brother and felt better, but I thought I would share it anyway.
I have waited for this opportunity since the time I was around ten and heard "Where the streets have no name." That song still makes me hide my face for a second or two. It will be incredible to finally see The Edge in real life. To be honest I had been hoping to
I realize when I sit here sometimes that I go through my day thinking, "hey, that would be an interesting thing to blog about." I then promptly forget what it was.

It was two days of shooting and over 3500 individual pictures to make this. The end product is worth the effort
Slugs are just lazy snails.
(For Full disclosure's sake, I haven't seen the movie yet) So apparently Brideshead Revisited has been butchered. According to Church of the Masses they took, "a profoundly catholic novel" (it is) and made it "viciously anti-catholic." Now mind you, this comes as no surprise after watching the trailer. It seems like screenwriters, writers, the intelligentsia,
(When I first wrote this I mistook who a three year old mentioned in Brant's post belonged to. For the record the three year old is not Brant's child.) I guess its time to waste some pixels. I don't really read blogs, at least not like quite a few of the people I know do.
