You know what pisses me off…

Back from the dead? Technically, no. Let’s just say we’re trying to resuscitate our half-baked idea of owning a blog.

So I decided to make a list of things that really “grind my gears”. By no means should this be taken to heart, it’s more or less my satirical view on things that bother me. I [...]

We’re back! (maybe?)

It’s been too long, since an entry has touched this blog – but it surprisingly has maintained a healthy number of views. I’m not saying that we’re back, but I guess I just did. Let’s just say we’re not Circuit City yet.
Until we reorganize our “business strategy”, I intend to re-post my newer entries from [...]

Routine, early wednesday entry.

I learned from last week.
I’m not in my Lab.
I’m actually posting from UofT’s library – passing time till the TTC metropass sales begin. I may no longer be a registered student here, but for some reason my student card is still active and metropass lines are definitely easier to swallow here as opposed to George [...]

Breaking news: Boring class, encourages ‘blogging’.

So here I am at the start of a ten-hour school day.
Learning about the ‘Find and Replace’ function in Microsoft Word.
There’s nothing else I would rather do at 8 in the morning. </end sarcasm>
But at least Internet access has given me the opportunity to write this up.
I’m not even going to bother apologizing for the [...]

to be frosh again.

So that consistent string of posts sure lasted a good two weeks. You could thank George Brown for that. Fresh off squeaking my way to an arts and science degree, I’m off to a two-year stint in some Information Technology. If you’ve read our about us section, you would know about my old passion for [...]

"silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone" – g.b. stern

Much of the focus on volunteers in these past Beijing Olympics have been on those taught how to approach Westerners, and on those infamous Chinese seat fillers – but little of the attention was placed on the more unassuming philanthropists.
So to the volunteers who sat still, expressionless, and usually alone throughout competitions, thank you. Your [...]

dear olympics,

Thank you for disrupting my sleeping routine with incredible displays of sport, in the water, on the track, and even in Government offices. You’ve made a two weeks in which I’ve done little to nothing, quite memorable and ultimately fulfilling. You’ve reunited me with old friends, and have even helped me overcome the disappointment in [...]

shock and awe. (at the dentist)

So today I woke up at around the time I would normally go to sleep (7AM) for my biannual dentist check-up/cleaning. I’m not the biggest fan of dentist visits, not because of a fear of pain, but primarily because of a fear of awkwardness (which God knows I should be accustomed to by now).
At the [...]

Day 2 Night: Roppongi, don’t hassle me.

Hey Julian back again this time with the aftermath post for Day 2.
Day 2, Tokyo, Nightfall.
Well after the travels we went through in the morning, we slept the afternoon away. Literally. We got home from our “trip” at around 1 pm local time, and I “napped” until about 7 pm that night. Yes, naps are [...]

an entry that (almost) isn’t about the olympics.

It is possible. Though fittingly, the idea for this entry originated from my obsession with Olympic TV coverage. But let that be the last time I mention the “O” word, at least in this post anyway.
Sports themes. The anthems for the sporting events we all love. If we’re ever forced to define a sport by [...]
