Friday Five #54 Permalink Sat 31 May 2003
*1. What do you most want to be remembered for?* I want to be remembered for having contributed something of note to the cultural sphere, having earned and gained the respect of my peers. I would also like to be...
Recriminations Permalink Wed 21 May 2003
Today I scraped both of my forearms, both of them off the same door handle. Nothing too serious, of course, but the scars are quite unsightly and sting like hell. It was the dog, you see. The lazy fucker decided...
I'm Sorry... Permalink Sun 18 May 2003
...that this place hasn't exactly been bursting with new content. You see, I've been doing a lot more thinking than writing recently. Lots of thinking, thinking about the post-grad application and looking for work and planning my trip below the...
Friday Five #53 Permalink Fri 16 May 2003
http://fridayfive.org/ *1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?* I like my water chilled and filtered, but I don't drink straight water very often; I usually drink it in cola form. When I was working though,...
To Toronto Permalink Mon 12 May 2003
I spent last Friday afternoon with my friend Wendy, just hanging out around town. She's from the other side of the world, she is. New Zealand. The land of Jonah Lomu, Peter Jackson and Shortland Street. She'd just spent a...
Warning: High Idiot Quotient Permalink Sat 10 May 2003
I happened to catch a news report the other day about some idiot who almost killed himself performing the most insane stunt imaginable, all for some stupid Jackass ripoff video he was making with his friends. (Here’s a link to...
Friday Five #52 Permalink Fri 09 May 2003
http://fridayfive.org/ *1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?* Yes, and no. I go through spurts of super-organisation, then I kind of let the fields grow fallow for a while, and then get all super-organised again....
Browser Bug Blues Permalink Wed 07 May 2003
Camino crashed on me about an hour ago. Took me ages to figure out how to reinstall it. When I finally did, I moved my bookmarks file from the desktop where I saved it into the correct folder for Camino...
Take This Bomb and Shove It Permalink Tue 06 May 2003
I _was_ going to go into town after the media screenings (see the previous entry) to run some errands, clear the cobwebs from being stuck in a darkened movie theatre for four hours. It's a good thing I didn't, though,...
A Day in the Life of a Wannabe Critic Permalink Tue 06 May 2003
Most of my day today was spent at the Buena Vista screening room for not one, but _two_ media previews, courtesy of Touchstone Pictures. More review fodder for me. Could only be a good thing, I expected. After lunch, we...
Smarty Pants Permalink Mon 05 May 2003
The (British) National IQ Test took place last night. It was actually quite difficult, for a multiple choice exam. The time alloted for each question was quite short and very strict, and doesn't accurately reflect the true test environment (or...
A Missed Opportunity for Fleeting Infamy Permalink Mon 05 May 2003
Friday night at Whelan's: Eric Copeland from Black Dice is standing at the edge of the dancefloor after their show with his back to me, talking to some music geek. It takes a moment or two before the idea crosses...
