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
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.
bull in a china shop?
good god i love mythbusters. this one tests the classic myth about the classic saying “like a bull in a china shop”
the little details
who’d a thunk it…or in a more grammatically correct sentence…who would have thought that a small detail like how a button is sewn onto a shirt could be so damn cool.
this little extravagant detail courtesy of bespoke shirt maker Seize Sur Vingt.
math is good for something after all…
what makes women beautiful according to mathematicians? apparently a waist to hip ratio of 0.7. see here.

oh and for guys its apparently 0.9. with my developing belly i think i’m at 2.0. whoops. gonna have to do something about that.
ikea hacking
so when you’ve got designer tastes on an ikea budget, what do you do? resort to ikea hacking. needed a new medicine cabinet and found an entertainment unit that had the right dimensions and matching cabinet doors but they used frosted glass instead of mirror. so i got some mirror glass custom cut, pried apart the original frame and replaced it and voila…stoked.
turns out there’s a website devoted to this sort of thing at ikeahacker.blogspot.com
bard on the beach
we had tickets to go see bard on the beach and it was one of the more surreal experiences i’ve had. a little worried about the weather in the morning but it turned out great. the show was good, the actors played up the comedic parts of the play but what made it a crazy experience was the goings on outside the venue.
in case you don’t know, BOTB is setup in a park under tents that are open to the elements behind the stage. well on this particular saturday evening, vancouver’s finest were quite busy with some sort of disturbance that required a police helicopter with searchlights doing circles over english bay.
so imagine if you will, shakespeare being performed by actors in designer jeans on a italian village stage set while the helicopters thump overhead with searchlights scanning the vancouver skyline behind the stage. weird.
droooool
and seriously, when have you ever seen a press release about a car talk about typography?
my birthday’s coming up…anybody?…pretty please?…
