Canadians frequently get the shaft when it comes to awesome online deals. It’s all about volume, and up here in the great white north, where our population has just passed 15 with Larry and Caroline giving birth the other day, we don’t have it. Are you familiar with woot.com? That is the kind of awesome […]

Well lo and behold, after sycophantic whinging on my blog, what do I discover in EB Games in the mall this weekend?
Fuck. Yes.
You know what? Fuck not finding a million dollars on the sidewalk on my way into work on Monday. What is with that not happening? That can fuck right off.

Every Christmas I get a little sack of money to go out and buy myself nice things. While a giant debt monster wants to eat my face, I made sure I kept a little cash from that sack to go have fun with.

Every game I play will be judged next to Portal and suffer for it. […]

On Monday night we went to see Jesus Christ Superstar, the latest rendition of the ever so mildly controversial Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. This is, I guess, part of the Ted Neely Farewell Tour - Ted being the guy who played Jesus in the really quite excellent Norman Jewison film version of said musical from […]

It has been really fucking cold in Edmonton over the past 2 weeks. I don’t like it, Jen hates it, and the dogs loathe it. To complicate matters, Rufus somehow managed to lose an ENTIRE toenail.

Tonight represented something resembling getting back to normal. While we spent the day unpacking and reorganizing, come evening we had time to run out for some groceries and - shock and awe - actually cook dinner. Jen made her extra special totally unique absolutely fantastic spaghetti sauce and we crashed in front of the newly […]

What on earth is going on in that photo? I have no idea either, I just needed a distraction and figured maybe you did to. Apologies if you are female and not yet on the “oh my it is so modern to be bisexual” bandwagon and thus got nothing out of that aside from a […]

So I got this in my inbox after my recent flurry of tweets:
I’d link to their Twitter profiles but I don’t want to give them the inbound traffic. Needless to say these are spammer accounts. But… I don’t get it. What a pointless waste of time for someone. Twitter makes them totally ignorable by default. […]
