What is CLEWI you might ask? I’ll give you a hint. It was created by Forbes. CLEWI stands for the Cost of Living Extremely Well Index. Its like the CPI (Consumer Price Index) except for really rich people. It measures how much a basket of luxury goods has increased in price over time. It includes things like a sable fur coat, a facelift, a championship race horse…you know all the things you need to survive in this cruel cruel world.

a collection of run on sentences mostly about travel, fashion, technology, formula 1, design and anything else that this worker bee in the vancouver ad industry feels like rambling on about
pickle guy
saw the random-est thing at the grocery store today. old guy in the bulk department with two pickles on a scale. no bag, no container, just pickles covered in pickle juice on a digital scale. WTF?!? i was too stunned to even take a cam phone pic. sorry.

on some new shit
oh yeah, in case you haven’t heard, i’m on a new gig now, working at an ad agency in yaletown. its been a pretty crazy first few weeks. lots of catching up and learning on the job but its a good challenge.
spoiled rotten
yeah…that’s me…i got a PS3 as a gift. go me. it only took 4 months of constant whining a la “are we there yet? are we there yet?”
its pretty pimptacular but now i need to upgrade my receiver cause i don’t have enough inputs. oh and i suck at first person shooter games.
i did however get pretty damn good at resident evil for the wii before the ps3 arrived. so good apparently that i make slashing motions in my sleep.
benny extravagaaanzzza
notice the extra a’s and z’s…it means that its extra special. special as in griffin’s sunday brunch with unlimited eggs benny. mmm mmm good. oh and my new favorite breakfast treat??? bacon dipped in hollandaise sauce. i think i had 3 servings of that. don’t worry, i had a defibrilator on standby.
hot fuzz
goddamn if the brits aren’t good at comedy. from the same team that brought you “shaun of the dead” comes this wickedly funny rip on the buddy cop genre.
the story revolves around a guy who’s the top cop in london and gets sent to a remote village so he doesn’t make the rest of the london police force look bad. of course once he gets to his new posting, he’s partnered up with a slacker partner and things in the quaint country town aren’t what they seem.
the last half hour has to be the funnies 30 minutes of celluloid in existence. also love the references to movies like point break, the professional, etc.
