Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

Not a fan at all of any double entendres, but I've got to admit, it's catchy!

Makes you wanna cut and paste...

It's a weird one, but I'll be darned if I don't just love it.

Feel Inside (and stuff like that)

It was made for Red Nose Day and it's been online for over a year but I only discovered it the other week. Be warned, it's a bit of an ear worm...

Canada Day Film Recommendation

I just watched One Week staring Joshua Jackson and enjoyed it thoroughly. I thought it was a quirky and intelligent film and unashamedly Canadian. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something to watch surrounding our nation's 146th birthday.

The soundtrack is also pretty awesome. CBC Radio 3 had this to say about it...

"Michael McGowan, writer and director of the new Canadian film One Week, says that with this film, he wanted to "create a narrative that was also a love-letter to the county." Well, if his movie is a love letter, then the soundtrack is the mixtape he made for his girlfriend, Canada."

Hammer City Pub Crawl

This is the Downtown Hamilton Pub Crawl that I made to pit against the Toronto one that Ashley and Danielle have said they would create. I've left out a lot of bars but hopefully nothing too critical. The route is accessible by clicking on the image above. More details on the bars themselves are available by clicking on the name of each on the list below.

• 1) The Stowaway
• 2) The Brain
• 3) The Homegrown Cafe 
• 4) The Baltimore House 
• 5) The Ship 
• 7) The Winking Judge

Edward Teach

I was feeling a little artsy last night and so I sketched an image of Blackbeard to use as a reference for a later work. I was so happy with my preliminary sketch that I decided to run with it. This is the direction I ran...

50 Cheap and Fun Ideas

I was having a little browse online to find inexpensive ideas for things to do this summer. In doing so I happened upon the Tiny Buddha's page of 50 ideas. I was actually really impressed by the simplicity, accesibility, and actual fun quotent of their list. Obviously this is entirely based on my own interestes and tastes but why not click on the link, have a read, and let me know what you think?

Foxtrot Holmes

The fellow pictured to the left of this text goes by the moniker Foxtrot Holmes. I don't know much about him other than I like the way he mixes music.

He reminds me of Dutty Moonshine who I first encountered while living in Reading. I get the distinct impression that this side of the pond is catching up with the Electro Swing thing.

Myself circa 2003

 

Back around 2003 one of my good friends from University (I'm sure I've written about Flash before. Perhaps I refered to him as Sebastian Fish, either way, it's the same guy) drew a picture of me as a superhero. At the time I was going through a top hat, curly moustache, lumberjack underwear (with the bum flap!) phase. Nothing too unusual. The other day I was thinking of it and figured I'd have a stab at doing a version myself. This is what I came up with.
