Fantastic Long Weekend
It was so nice to finally have a long weekend for myself, despite the fact that I was out and about or the majority of it. In point form:
- Walked from my place at Yonge and Eglinton to Queen and Yonge for brunch on Christmas Day.
- Lined up early at Future Shop and got a Digital SLR on Boxing Day! I really can’t wait to get out there and use it.
- Trans- ( Read more... )

Sam 2.0
Went through a huge upgrade in my lifestyle in the past week. Here’s a quick run-down.
- got onto the trial of the New Xbox Experience. It’s pretty slick and really updates the 360’s image.
- along the MS lines, I now own a Zune. Made me realize how commoditized MP3 players are.
- I’ve got a new jacket. It’s got a gajiliion pockets, which works ( Read more... ) -
Barack to the Future
Decided to hit the Second City last night with Samir to take in a little thing they call Barack to the Future.
Wow. What a show. The topic was relevant and the comedy was golden. Definitely worth a visit.
Oh yea, stayed for their Free Improv show afterwards. Their unscripted stuff is absolutely much better than their scripted stuff [and their ( Read more... ) -

Film-ic Review: Religulous
So after a few weeks of failing to watch Religilous, I finally got off by ass down the street to the theatre to indulge it. My thoughts? Hmm…mixed.

Long week. Pooped.
Wow…where did this week go? I must’ve pulled some 11 hour days this week [compared to my usual 10 hour days] on top of spending some time today working on some Excel macros. Hmm…let me see if I can do a quick list now…
- Wrote a memo to a government agency on technological recommendations
- Prepped a meeting for one of our largest clients
- Went to a high ( Read more... )

Observations from the past week
This week’s been interesting.
- Ellen Page may continue to be typecasted in roles where she gets into awkward romantic relationships with older men. I feel this needs to change.
- Went to watch the UFC fight last night at Philthy McNasty’s. It was surprisingly very very entertaining. I might go again if the opportunity arises.
That’s pretty much it. Does ( Read more... )
