Hip Hop Sunday #61 Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank)

January 20, 2013 - 4:49pm - by admin

there are only a few things that are appropriate to do in this kind of cold

sleep in

play video games

or board games

drink beer

eat snacks

and

spend time with lovely people

(though that's always a good choice)

yesterday we were able to do all of those things.

so, a successful weekend, I think.

happy hip hop sunday.

I can't write today

January 18, 2013 - 2:29am - by admin

which is bullshit because I have a ton of unimportant things to talk about

like how I had coffee with one of the former mayors of my city (the only female one, look it up)
and she said that she thought I would really go far
that she thought my project was "really important work"
told me in an email after we parted ways that
she feels proud of me even though she doesn't really know me at all

which was really nice.

we finally watched solaris so I can stop bringing it up
protip
watch it all in one go or at max two
because by the third try everything's all disjointed and
probably not as creepy as it would have been
if you'd just stayed awake the whole time
dummy.

we're making a snack which is a pita pizza
it's got sundried tomatoes and cheese on it
and nothing else
because it's fucking cold outside and there is
zero
chance in hell that I'm bundling up to go to the store

or that I'm going to make tyrone do it
(sometimes I can be nice)

my friend @cenquist and a few others
(@adriantrimble @benquist @brennanlumsdon to name a few)
made a short film during the summer called
The Pint of Justice
in which yr hero and tyrone make cameo appearances
(and you can watch at the end of this post)
where upon watching
I learned that
watching myself
touching adrian's chin makes me feel uncomfortable.

any other day I could have probably pulled all of these into
at least
a somewhat entertaining post
(or several!)
but not today

it's just one of those nowriting days

which are basically worse than anything when yr a writer

This is the first thing that I saw on the Internet this morning

January 11, 2013 - 3:26pm - by admin

(via Reddit, o'course)
"My whole family is wondering why this binder with two squids inside was left on my my porch" 

I think it means it's going to be a good day

blizzard be damned!

A year ago today

August 31, 2012 - 2:42am - by admin

I'm trying to write but I can't

I spent all day in a sick-coma. slept till noon, woke up, made an insane sandwich which I forgot to take a picture of before inhaling in with my sickness-empty stomach. here is what was in it:

2-egg omelette folded over some pieces of cheddar and mozzarella
sliced red onion
lettuce
sliced vine tomato
mayonaise
mustard
pepper
on whole-grain bread

now I want to eat again.

ps how badly do you want to see this movie? I do x1,000,000

a year later I didn't see that movie and I haven't had a home-made sandwich that good since.

what was I doing this whole year?

a lot of people dump on Winnipeg

January 19, 2012 - 9:00pm - by admin

because, okay, it's not a "cosmopolitan city" and our skyline needs work, I know

but we have a wicked phallus bridge that looks cool

and, okay, we don't get lots of cool, huge concerts all the time because we're kind of in the middle of nowhere

but our isolation means that we raise some wicked-talented people

and okay, the older generation are obsessed with moving into the suburbs and avoiding downtown at all costs

even though our downtown is actually awesome, and The Village is is the second highest-densely populated neighbourhood in the country

and, okay, building a megamall out in Tuxedo by the new IKEA that you have to have a car to access because it's designed so you have to drive from one part of the mall to another is really stupid

but at least we'll finally have access to snazzy Swedish furniture

and, okay, the Jets aren't doing so well, even though the whole city except me is obsessed with them and cheers nonstop and cares SO MUCH about hockey

it's still fun to watch over beers at The Yellow Dog, right?

and, okay, our mayor is a total jerk who does sketchy shit and kicks children in the face

but you know what?

we're tough, here in the 'Peg

because it's minus fucking forty-five today and we go about our business like it's nothing

none of you sissies in Toronto or Vancouver could handle this.
