When I was around 11/12 I discovered the best drink ever known to man: Pepsi Twist. But for some reason I still don’t understand, Pepsi stopped producing Pepsi Twist around the time I moved to Sechelt, in 2003. I’ve never missed anything as much as I missed Pepsi Twist–I’ve lost friends, I’ve lost items, but [...]

Today was another Wednesday, and most (read: all) of my Wednesdays are spent working a 9 hour shift. Not the end of the world, or anything, but still quite taxing. As such, whenever I get home from work on Wednesday I eat a quick meal, watch some TV, and then struggle to stay up all [...]

When I woke up this morning, as soon as I put on my glasses I noticed something peculiar about my wall. One of my posters had fallen right off of it during the night, and had knocked my grandfather’s hat off of the nail it usually hung on. I spent a few minutes looking for [...]

So this week I’m feeling better and am over my cold, so I have to go back to work. The weather has been kind of gloomy since late last week, and was a little better today…although last night there was still rain and thunder. Anyway, the Sun decided to come out (just barely) so I [...]

So today I went out and purchased a new camera. I’ve used many point-and-shoot cameras throughout my life, but never anything that could be considered “higher-end.” I’ve only enjoyed photography for the past few years, as I only got into it after moving to the Sunshine Coast. (Some might argue that Powell River is a [...]

So I ended up spending most of today watching DVR’d episodes of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, and playing console games. I had gotten back into PC games the past few days, so I decided to take a swing at consoles again. I ended up playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii, The Legend of [...]

I spent the majority of my day playing video games. I had fallen out of touch with the gaming world as of late, but when you’re sick (and are out of TV shows to watch) you need to do something to get your mind off of how awful you feel. Luckily for me, today Ben [...]

My whole day revolved around water. It was raining outside, and I was stuck inside, drinking as much as I possibly could. I found out I had a cold, as the symptoms hit me all at once. The day prior I had had a runny nose, but I figured that was it. Today I added [...]

I didn’t have a particularly /hard/ day, but it was harder than normal on me, as I’m fighting a bit of a cold, and am extremely sleep deprived. I worked today, my usual 9 hour Wednesday shift, but last night I only got 5ish hours of sleep. I tried going to bed around midnight, but [...]

I’ve owned an Xbox 360 for a long time (since Dec. 2006, according to my blog) but not since launch. In fact, when the console was first launched I wasn’t a big fan of the idea. I had just gotten an original Xbox, and was playing Halo and Halo 2 (although I /had/ played and [...]

I’ve spent a good part of my day toying around with the idea of trying to capture a raindrop in mid… impact, I guess, upon a surface, since it’s raining. I looked all over the yard and around my house, found the brightest spot I could (with at least some rain) and set up my [...]
