the new gas game

Ah, supply and demand. It’s the justification companies use when they’re fucking you without your consent and you’re telling them to stop while they say “hell no”. Gas companies have long played this game in Canada, with prices starting high on Friday afternoon and dropping over the weekend. It was not uncommon before all the […]

creepy old eastie

So I was finishing off my day, and decided to read kj’s blog. Understand that I feel like a character in some alternate, older, Judy Blume universe these days because of a lot of things I won’t get into, but was having a decent day. Then I read kj’s post. It’s nice to know that […]

high expectations

I thought about it this morning, and really, people who expect me to get up at 3:30am and spend the next 10 hours travelling should not expect me to be completely functional until the following day.

The expanded track puts together Queen, Elvis, Jay-Z, Destiny’s Child, the Beastie Boys, the Beatles, soundclips, and some serious beat-matching – and that’s just the first four minutes! Check it […]

the puck drops

So the “new” NHL started last night, and I tuned in to have a boo. I watched the last half of the Ottawa-Toronto game after getting back from dinner with the Wednesday night crew, and the first period of the Phoenix-Vancouver game. The “Battle of Ontario” reminded me a lot of the last NHL game […]
