A friend of mine and I have started a family dinner night with our friends. It might turn into a little cooking show that we'll vlog online. If/when it happens, I'll post a link of course.

In other news... the constant rain here ruined the roof of the dojo this week, forcing us to miss classes. Finally get to go back today. I've never been...

Random awesomeness from the net:

Upgrade it.

This is raw unedited or anything, so just take it as it is...

Ahem...

The breath of winter bit her lips in the early morning light. Charmed as she was by the stoic progression of the seasons, it never seemed to impress her all that much. The awkwardness of walking on cold-hardned mud always removed the pleasure from a walk in the October mornings.

Despite...

Just got back from the long weekend. I don't know what to think of it. I often go away for this weekend and suffer the occasion for a chance to eat good food and get out of the city for a while. Usually it's good and I feel like I've been away for weeks. It's refreshing and leaves me with many good memories and insights....

I have an interview tomorrow. A web application developer position with a financial services company. Apparently they specialize in trading platforms for foreign currencies. It's not glamorous, but I'm not asking for glamorous anymore.

Glamorous will be shooting music videos, helping great bands make it, writing books and stories, farting around with neat ideas, and maybe one day becoming the teacher in my dojo. These...

Throwback album of the week? Another post 2000 one, but still a good one:

Wisconsin Death Trip by Static-X

... I know. But no matter how much all these whiny-ass cock smears that fall under the 'numetal' flag suck; this is not a band that is one of them. I personally think they just got lumped in there with the rest of them because they're...

How much do I want an Nintendo DS Lite? I would make a little bit of ASCII art to demonstrate for you, but I'm sure you're ISP's would probably cut you off before the download could finish. That's how much.

I could be close to getting one, I don't know. For now though I'm going to play it like I'm scraping by; partly because I...

ether_medius' throwback album of the day --

Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle

I know it's like only 2003, but that's still 3 years ago.

I'm just going through my music collection and always coming across these albums I really loved a lot, but listened to so much that I stopped listening to them... and then I nearly forget them... but they come back to...

A healthy dose of art always does the soul good.

11.5 hours of work today. I think my last post reflected the on-coming headache. No worries though, I'm awesome. I'll get through it.

In other news -- the DMCA is on its way to Canada. Find your member of parliment and be sure to tell them how stupid they are if they let this pass....

Have you ever completely set yourself up?

Right now I'm looking at what I have left to do this week and it looks pretty overwhelming. I think I've managed to somehow completely screw myself over on this one project I've been dying to get off my chest for the past four weeks. It's getting there, but somehow it went from a simple project to something...
