darth vader on twitter

haven’t decided if i’m ready for the level of openness that twitter requires but if you want to keep up to the minute tabs on what darth vader is doing check out his twitter page. too funny.

word of the day

hey. i never said it was going to be daily. just “of the day”. so today’s word is:

Screw – To be angry. Screw face. (An angry face.)

time waster

ahhh…the good old days of simple side scrolling gaming. fun little flash game to kill some time. love the art style.

not nearly as frustrating as Zelda which has sucked up quite a bit of my time lately (on my second set of batteries for the wii-mote). its now become more of a finish it because i’ve started it rather than actually enjoying it but TVs been sucking lately and its a good way to procrastinate on all the real things i’m supposed to be doing.

but goddamn if the stupid save bugs in that game don’t make me want to kill. if you save in the middle or even right before the end, you have to start at the beginning again. and then there was some other little bug that erased a bunch of the items i had collected. almost makes me want to play Doom or some such game… i said almost…

oh you poor thing

oh you poor thing

Casino Royale comes out on DVD tomorrow and when i saw it in the theater, the most memorable scene for me was when that poor Aston Martin DBS bit the dust. I do love my expensive British sportscars…

Anyhoo… nice little article about what was required to pull off that stunt as well as some pictures of the aftermath of the stunt car. Apparently they set a Guinness record with 7!!! flips and the stunt driver walked away unhurt.

funny or sad?

funny or sad?

i’m not sure, i’m leaning towards funny but that’ll get me a disapproving frown i bet. you decide, but i love the picture…

gonna learn me something new

so starting today, i’m going to try to do a word of the day. however, i’m going to do it to expand my patois vocabulary.

today’s word of the day is:
rude boy: (n) a delinquent; criminal; tough guy;

more ducats please

according to the Economist’s recently published World Cost of Living Survey, Vancouver is the most expensive canadian city to live in, ranking 34th in the world.

somehow i get the suspicion that pay scales in Vancouver don’t really reflect that. boo-erns… maybe i’ll put in for a cost of living increase…

oh and can somebody please tell me where the hell Nouméa, New Caledonia is and why they’re at #20?

unluckiest man alive

unluckiest man alive

that would be me. found an old stack of lottery tickets from the past summer/fall…went online to check the numbers. out of some two dozen tickets not even a lousy stinkin free play. gawd. maybe next time i’ll just play the Lost numbers. they’re already ingrained in my head…4-8-15-16-23-42…plus i’m getting fat enough to qualify as Hurley

spend wisely

spend wisely

some updates on two companies i’ve been backing for a while.

nau finally gets its webstore up and running. if you’re going to go outdoor-chic, might as well be good to the environment.

on the other hand. if you’re a baller and can afford to go bespoke streetwear then Serum vs Venom has dropped their third collection.

oh and if you somehow got an invite to the TED conference and aren’t going, feel free to donate it to me…

must be a record

one hour detour through IKEA and only $6 spent. must be a new record for lowest bill.

just wasn’t feeling it. everything screamed out 16 year old decorating their bedroom for the first time. blah.
