Doomz in 6B

PLEASE TURN YOUR HEAD 90 DEGREES FOR YOUR VIEWING (IN)CONVENIENCE :)

Hey all,

So as you can see, I’m using my course time well. After a jam session last night with my new buddy Allie, I felt inspired to start using some newer materials to express mahself. So after being up till about 3 am (!), I’d sharpened some old pencils, and with this one I used a 6B pencils to get those darks in. Next time, I wouldn’t use a marker for outlining though - it looked ultra-fly before.

Door Dodgers

Dear Toronto, You have a lot of different types of people in your borders - people
often say that you’re one of the most diverse cities in the world.
However, this is not limited to the cultural background your peoples
have or the various languages they speak.

No, I’m also talking about the types of characters you have in this far city. Today, I’m calling out the door dodgers. Yeah, you know the type. Many
mornings I head out from Union GO Station with the rest of the sheep
to our various places of employment. If you’ve seen me walking around,
you’ll know that I often tend to be carrying my knapsack and a duffel
bag, since I tend to be moving around a lot. It makes travelling a
pain, but it’s something you can get used to.

However, when you’re trying to move thousands of people through three
or four doors, you’d expect that people would continually hold the
door for the droves coming behind them, no? Wrong. Oh so wrong.

Door dodgers. They’ll skillfully avoid any contact with an open doorl
- since the world obviously revolves around them - leaving it to close
in the face of the next person. Are you serious? I barely have free hands! I’ve had to essentially
train myself to use my legs as a second set of arms so I can avoid
these horrid situations. I always glare at them from behind. I hope
one day one of them turns around to get it.

Stupid door dodgers. —case p.

The most creative name for a vegetable EVER

How many foods are named after the action you need to take to get it? The pickle. Most creative name ever.

I think I’ll start calling carrots growanyanks. —case p.

Apology Haiku

I’ve just been made aware that this morning’s haiku starts with a 6 syllable line.

As this just won’t do, I must now write an APOLOGY haiku.

Here goes:

First line, haiku sucked / Too many syllables there / Screw you, I was beat!

;D

Canadian Weather: A Haiku.

Dear readers, Allow me to share my opinion of the weather this morning in the form of a short haiku. Stupid sleet storm pounding
Soaked my clothing to the bone
Hate you, Canada

I was only walking to the train station for 15 minutes, and my clothes are two shades of colour - darker on the front, lighter on the back. Canada? FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!! Thank you,

Mobile Media Converter: Makes Mobile Life Easier

via miksoft.net

If you’ve been looking at all for a program to convert those pesky .amr files on your cellphone into something a little more useful, I find this program pretty helpful - Miksoft’s Mobile Media Converter. I tend to record a lot of lyrics and song ideas into my BlackBerry when I’m on the go, so being able to use freeware to convert them into high-quality WAV and MP3 files has been very handy for getting more mileage out of those ideas and not being constrained to the BlackBerry to listen to them. Try it out!

Good on ya, Miksoft.

For your Internet purchasing comfort, we now ship your packages with 50% more AIR.

Newegg.ca! Packaging FAIL. During Cyber Monday (which for those of you not in the know has less to do with a day reserved for the celebration of illicit activities online and more to do with the Monday following Black Friday in the US every year where all the tech sites put extra sales on their merch online) I got a few things with some extra government cash that came my way (go accidentally understating the amount of income tax you paid! w00t!). Some made total sense when they arrived, like a 4-bay hard drive enclosure, that came in a box that fit a 4-bay hard drive enclosure! Or a 1.5 TB hard drive, that came in a box only somewhat larger than itself. But this? This was just horrible. I came home today to see this box on my computer chair.

Knowing what I was expecting and thinking there was some mistake, I opened it to find… a 4 GB MicroSD card. …but it’s tiny as hell - what do I need a MASSIVE box for? All it contained was this, a receipt and some paper - to keep it from jostling around? WTF. Use a bubble wrap envelope! This is just WASTEFUL.

In case you don’t know just how small this is, here’s a picture with a nickel for comparison. I KNOW, RIGHT?

Newegg, change your practices. This is just sad :(—case p.

[HD]自主制作アニメーション『the TV show』

via youtube.com

Videos like this can make you wish you weren’t living in North America.

You can basically look at it like the same sequence of videos done four times over, but it’s after the first time where the madness starts to begin!

Round one is the premise;

Round two brings you to reality to show you how it all fits in;

Round three shows what happens when we merge that crazy TV land with reality;

Round four shows the consequences.

What do we get? 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = EPIC WIN.

—case p.

P.S. On second look, there could be more like 7 rounds… and you’ve gotta watch out for all the subtle changes - for there are MANY!

THE CALAMITIES - Bob Marley & The Wailers - "Could You Be Loved"

via youtube.com

Another classic done Calamities style! Please note that without monitors on stage, the singers couldn’t hear themselves sing.

Which is the reason I’m giving you for sounding like I’m yelling.

I can sing, really. I’ll prove it to you sometime!

I’ll karaoke with the best of ‘em…!
