Man, look at that robot trying to laser gun those wild horses. That just isn’t right at all. at all. Even that rainbow doesn’t lighten mood. Not one bit.

I have one baby and she is two

We made it home last night from a fun and relaxing (yet also chaotic) trip to Vancouver/Coquitlam. While in Coquitlam, Madelyn turned two-years-old! Happy Birthday little monster. *** It feels good to be back at work after a few days off. I like being on the Zone, it is a fun job, but I did [...]
The Sandwich Project :: Week 1
Posted in food, tagged Sandwich on February 17, 2010 | 10 Comments »
Inspired by Krystal at Work’s commitment to packing her lunch to work 9 out of every 10 work days, I present The Sandwich Project. What’s up? I want to try and squeeze some money out of budget and make my life more streamlined. Buying lunch at work is a waste. As my old man likes [...]

Yesterday I posted about Portland, Oregon’s The Thermals and their new song “Canada.” Using that cut as a spring board, I jammed out a quick little 34 minute set to get you jazzed on some Olympic Hockey (or luge or biathlon or ice dancing or whatever). Best part, no Gary Glitter! Worst part, Rascal Flatts! [...]

Posted in music, tagged 2010, Canada, Michael Cera, Olympics, Portland, Sloan, Thermals, Vancouver, Weezer on February 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Its a power pop explosion from Portland indie darlings The Thermals. Have a listen: The Thermals – “Canada” Ok, its is a very basic, balls to the floor power pop anthem. Some hipsters were barking all over the internet because they expect more from The Thermals, but its better than anything Weezer has put out [...]

I have a mad man crush for the Japandroids. The Vancouver band will be releasing five limited press vinyl singles this year because they won’t be able to manufacture the time to record a follow up for Post Nothing (2009). I’ve been streaming the first single “Art Czars” all afternoon. I am not allowed to [...]
