"Religion is for people who fear hell; spirituality is for those who have already been there."

An interesting quote. Not sure if I completely agree with it, but definitely thought-provoking.

Ok, so Lars Ulrich might be a bit of a weeny, and he did get me kicked off of Napster, but he's one heck of a drummer. We made the horrible mistake of downloading the Metallica 3-song pack for Rock Band and all of the songs kick my ass on the drums. On Hard no less, to say nothing of Expert. This is depressing. Although I have no background in ( Read more... )

I was at the Game Developer's Conference last week and I think I hold the record for least amount of panels actually attended during the conference (1). Instead, I had a big stack of meetings and interviews. In fact, I probably could have gotten away with not even registering for the conference at all and just setting up shop in the coffee place on ( Read more... )

Ok  so the rumour going around is that the Queen/Bathurst fire was started by people who were eyeing the land for real estate development purposes. If a lot of Starbucks and condos start going up once the rubble is cleared then we'll know this to be true. If it's true, omg.

Am in San Francisco right now. Still can't believe this has happened.

Guess who's going to Star Trek: The Music? That would be meeeee and the bassbeasttttttt!!!

On a related note, I can totally see why younger people don't go ( Read more... )

It never ceases to amaze me how hateful and callous people can be under the guise of promoting "Christian family values."

Heath Ledger hasn't been dead a week and already certain bible-thumping cretins are mocking his untimely and tragic death because a few years ago he happened to star in a "gay cowboy movie." Seriously people, you need to let the ( Read more... )

I have a blister on my hand from playing the fake Rock Band drums. It took me a while to get the foot coordination down (used to Taiko Drum Master where there is no foot....) but I've gotten much better. I've stopped doing crazy-ass freak-out fills and have settled into doing something nice and simple so I don't throw off my bandmates (well, ( Read more... )

 I joined a gym and got a personal trainer & nutritionist. Sometimes I feel like I'm turning into a yuppie. BUT.

Do yuppies have pet bunnies? No. Best In Show has taught us that they have wymeranger dogs or no pet at all (the fur gets all over the upholstery don't you know)

Do yuppies collect colourful little vinyl rabbits with cigarettes hanging ( Read more... )
