Just saw 3 pianos rolled out of a van into the soon-to-open bookstore/cafe next door. I wonder how they factor into their business plan… # Heading to the local theatre to watch "An Education", strictly based on the fact that it features Alfred Molina in some way. # Just came out of "An Education"–the film [...]
Today I took a trip down to Vancouver to see the “Olympic Atmosphere” I had heard so much about, do a wee bit of Olympic-related sightseeing, and some shopping. I made a wrong choice footwear-wise, and was unable to walk around much, but what I did see was tonnes of people (a lot of whom [...]
…is the hardest part. Last week I placed an order from a Quebecois store known as L’Imaginaire for a myriad of different MTG-related accessories and/or cards. That order arrived today, and all I did (other than watch the Slovakia-vs-Canada game to see if we’d play the US for Gold) is sort, shuffle, and peruse my [...]
Today whilst at work the most bizarre thing happened, and luckily I grabbed the store camera in time to snap a few pictures. All at once hundreds (there were quite a few more than depicted here) of seagulls swarming all over the sky above a few buildings across the street from the store, flying in [...]
I only took one photo on the 23rd, and it accidentally got deleted. It was a picture of a piece of cake I took at the Grasshopper Pub, and I thought I had taken two, so I decided to delete the crappier one. Bad idea. Now all I’m left with is a blank space, or [...]
Today we got a tonne of various maple treats at my work. Out of the pictured mapley-stuff I picked up the Maple Taffy and Maple Caramels. There was also Maple Butter and authentic pure 100% Maple Syrup. I’ve yet to try any of it, but I’ve got high hopes.
Today I ended up having buffalo pattymelts for dinner, and they were excruciatingly filling. I ate one, felt full, and almost finished a second, but couldn’t bring myself to do it. So delicious, yet so filling! If I ever need a quick extremely filling meal, this might be what I turn to in the future. [...]
It would seem I don't really care for brandy. Who knew? It was worth trying though, as ze bottle was free. # Usually when opening a booster box o' Magic cards I get sick of it halfway through. Not today though–I ripped through 36 and wanted more. # Watching the Olympics at work with the [...]
I had to fix a laptop for my friend Quin today, (yesterday as I’m posting this a day late) and it ended up taking twice as long as I expected, eating up an entire Saturday. I still got paid (double) though, so no worries.
(NOTE: This /was/ taken on the day, and was even posted to Flickr on time. Just forgot to do ze blog post/tweet. So they’re late. Foo on you for trying to catch me missing a day.) So I spent the day killing time until the Magic Night started, but by the time I got there [...]
Appologies for an awful picture once again, but I didn’t have a lot of time to snap this one. Turns out a local business is using the logo from Serenity on their business cards. Tres lame!
So today I had to work, and was initially upset that I’d miss the Olympic coverage today. That was until I remembered that my boss had set up her computer on the front counter so that people could watch the Olympics while working. It was pretty awesome, as I got to watch Alpine Skiing, Curling, [...]
