Crap. All this time I thought I would have to become handsome and fit and rich to woo Jenna Fischer. Or at least touch her cans. Turns out you just have to be a fellow comedic actor like Will Ferrell.
I’ve got mad humor skills and acting is a breeze. Hell, here at the office I [...]

How I spent Earth Day

Woke up hungover and decided to go to McDonald’s for brunch. One non-recyclable bag of individually wrapped breakfast delights later I was home for a nice hot 30-minute shower. I’m not one to be wasteful and can’t stand the thought of a basement full of hot water going unused.
Later I got in a cab to [...]

Free ice cream day

Attention all fans of empty calories: April 17 is free cone day at Ben and Jerry’s. If you’re fortunate enough to live in a city that has a B&J’s, consider yourself lucky — normally you pay through the nose for a cone.
If I wasn’t stuck in Ben and Jerry-less Edmonton, I would go to a [...]

Reuters has picked up on something that a lot of us have known for a while: Toronto is being inundated with dog shit. Trash cans around city parks and public spaces are starting to overflow with bags of dog crap and it’s only going to get worse as the hot summer months approach.
This is nothing [...]

Although Parkadale doesn’t really show up on this map of Toronto from 1894, the “institutions” that line its eastern and southern borders suggest that it was always kind of a haven for deviants and reprobates. I guess Parkdale was like the ‘burbs back then, only instead of having bix box stores like Costco and [...]

Requiem for a new TV

This week was going so well. I was back in the office, happy — you might even say chipper — to be back in my routine after nearly two weeks of business travel. Also, I knew that a brand new 27″-inch Sony flat-screen was on its way to my house and that I was just [...]

Had the chance to re-visit some favourite childhood roadtrip destinations during my Easter weekend visit to Hafilax.
Here’s a clip I shot with my cell phone in Queensland, 30 minutes outside of Halifax. It’s also my first YouTube vid. Look out Scorsese — the bell tolls for thee.

I’ll have pics updated shortly. [...]

That’s right, the young, soon-to-be-downward-spiraling-into-rehab starlet turned 21 the other night meaning she’s now 100% legal.
My crush isn’t so perverted now, hey assholes? I wonder what she’s doing later… Woot!

Her party sure looks lame though.

This morning, I woke in Halifax to clear skies, mild temperature and a cancelled flight from Air Canada. Sure it was delayed at first, but I thought the fact that the wind died down overnight and what little snow had fallen was now melting meant that this would be my only issue getting home. It’s [...]

Spent a fun, drunken and educational few days in and around Fernie, B.C. last weekend. Friday we drove to the ski town taking a scenic route into the Rockies, passed Frank’s Slide and through Crowsnest Pass. Many beers upon arrival, followed by board games and Wii.
Saturday was a fun — albeit painful — day of [...]
