So very, very hungry. If you’ve read previous posts you know how I go on ad nauseum about the evils of P-90X and how I’m always getting up early and jumping around like an idiot in a vain attempt to be physically fit. I apologize, but that ain’t changing anytime soon. The jumping around part, [...]
I was walking down Granville Street after work this afternoon on my way to pick Jeff up at his office when I came across this: The guys behind Fringe were downtown shooting a scene that looked like a follow-up to last season’s finale. I didn’t see Pacey, but that fourth pic is either the female [...]
Jeff and I, despite having been together for going on six years, are still in love. Obnoxiously so. Our friends have even made a point of bringing it to our attention. Still, we persist. Like most couples, we have our shorthand, inside jokes, and games. Like punchbuggies. If you’re between the ages of 1 and [...]
I was surfing through iTunes looking for photo apps when I found this beauty. I think it’s great when the mentally unbalanced can take a weekend away from their medication and get into some productive application programming.

So yeah, this one is a little weird, in a cool way. Apparently I’m kind of a published photographer. Who knew? A while ago I got an email from a strange person telling me “good news!” Usually emails like this involve hot Russian girls wanting me (uh, thanks no) or tell me that my [...]
Another random story from my past. 1995: After my first failed attempt at university, I shamelessly begged money from my mom and travelled out to Vancouver. I wanted to create a life as far from Ottawa and my family as possible and establish my independence (with mommy’s money) … and for a while made it [...]

I know, I know – it’s like how a parent’s life can become largely an orbit around anything and everything to do with their child. That’s how it probably seems with every second post here; all Rumble all the time, and I’m sure it gets old in a hurry if you’re not a dog person. [...]

A year or two ago I got a bug in my ear that since we have a solarium, we should get some plants to put in it and green up our place a little bit. Our real estate agent (the flamingest guy you ever met, his business card had a closeup photo of his abs) [...]
Out of sheer curiosity (and to justify the expensive small-sizing from laptop to netbook) I’m writing this from the Starbucks on the Square formed by Nelson and Mainland Streets in Yaletown. I usually look down my nose at people who do this, but I get now how it can be… a reassurance?… to be out [...]

We hiked Rumble down to the dog park this weekend as part of his ongoing workout schedule. He’s supposed to be getting excercise, but as you can see, Rum had other ideas on how to burn calories: It’s an awkward conversation with the owner of the dog that Rumble climbs on for a cheerful hump: [...]
Jeff & I will be travelling to Ontario this summer, and we’re not going to be able to take our laptops. On top of that, I’m starting to write more and do other computer-related stuff on the go. So, what with my birthday last week, I bought myself a netbook. We’ll be selling one of [...]

I went to pick up Jeff this afternoon, and on our way home we cut through the giant parking lot on West Georgia and Cambie. There were only a few cars given the time of day, which was the only reason I was able to see this out of the corner of my eye:
I was leaving the Nestor’s Market at Abbott & West Pender this evening when I was confronted with this: You’d think this guy was an average junkie/crazy of the DTES, but when I passed by (in a rush) I saw he was wearing those expensive, stupid-looking Armani sunglasses and talking on a Blackberry. You’d think [...]
I’ve mentioned before about the pot culture here in Lotus Land, and how Jeff and I only participate by our proximity to other people. We don’t really judge people who toke, it’s just that I’m wildly allergic to marijuana, and Jeff is wildly allergic to- well, everything. We actually like potheads a lot because they [...]

So, this is Vancouver. If you’ve lived here, lived near here – or just lived, you know Vancouver is a magnet for weirdos, fruitcakes, crazies or the otherwise generally ‘nanners. This should come as no surprise. After a long day at work – which is never not, by the way – I was walking out [...]
