The Bloor & Queen Street Saturday. Again.
Yet another Saturday descends, and we have now officially turned Queen Street West and Bloor Street into our weekend haunts as we made our way out of the Annex to venture down into the bowels of downtown once more. One of the things I’m quickly beginning to [...]
And On A Comic Book Related Note
The Wife’s rendition of Psylocke, she of the Psi-Blade, the focused totality of her psychic power. As usual, you can click on the picture to enlarge it.
Also, there’s this…
The first of the AAA titles for the next generation of consoles finally has a trailer. It’s [...]
Lazy Thursday
Did a little bit of writing, a little bit o’ banking and a whole lot of playing Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within. So far it falls far, far BELOW the quality established by its predecessor. It’s unbalanced, frustrating and very cheap in the way it artificially lengthens the game’s lifespan [...]
Another Day Of Work
Aside from writing more of Lost In Loveless the only thing of note that I did today was explore the northern part of the Annex to check out that crazy Casa Loma and some of the surrounding parks, now that the weather is no longer sub-zero. It’s nice walking around these [...]
Feeling Bad For Chris
I FINALLY got around to picking this up and reading it today when I saw the trade on sale at a Bloor street book store for $11.
It was hilarious. It was touching. And yes, true to its title, Astonishing X-Men, it was, indeed, astonishing.
And yet, at the same time, despite [...]
Shift In Status
This was one of those good days where the novel finally switched over from something that felt like work to something that felt like a story again.
It’s something that I think all writers have to come to terms with when it comes to creating something as large as a novel. I think [...]
Yup, It’s Quiet
Stay at home Sunday, wrote a bit of novel, played a bit of Ace Combat 5 and finished up watching Robot Chicken.
You know the drill…
Surprise Bargains
What was supposed to be just a normal trip out to the burbs to shop at a mall called Yorkdale Shopping Centre turned into an orgy of game purchasing for Games-I-Like-But-Don’t-Love that I’ve been Kind’a-Sort’a-Meaning-To-Pick-Up-At-Some-Point.
Thanks to EB Games and a “March Madness” sale that I just didn’t see coming, they had huge bins full [...]
Walking Without Cold Or Sweat
It’s just another dull Friday for the Most Boring Couple In The World, but that’s just fine with me. Today was the first time we actually ventured out into the big bad world when the temperature was in the double digits, a SCORCHIN’ 11 degrees outside. It was one [...]
