Free Taxes.
Must be my lucky day (times three)! Was tested and won. The Government is giving me back all the money that I’ve already paid them (this year). I was reporting my earnings, expenses and charitable donations to Mr. Martin’s posse using UFile.ca. Since I’m certainly not poor enough to claim “poor boy status”, UFile was [...]
Television v.s. Sleep, round 28
Last night was long, er, longer than expected. Just before heading to sleep Paula gifted me an awesome present: Trailer Park Boys DVD. Deciding to watch all of the special features, extended cuts and director interviews kept me up long enough to be caught in the middle of a late-night movie as I was turning [...]
Store Bought
I exercised the purchasing power of a $25 gift certificate (Christmas Gift – Thanks Aunt Sue!). Wanting to use my power for good, I skipped over the celebrity gossip/breasts section, walked passed the fiction (my apologies to any Toronto harley marketers – that’s just not my bag, baby) and found myself amongst some hard-covered non-fiction.

I can’t wait that long [...]

Christian Bök had more time on his hands than I do now… …at least I can enjoy the consequence of his conviction. [NOTES: Chapter "O" is my favorite so far, Chapter "I" makes me feel claustrophobic, [...]
Busy day today:- Went to a hi-tech trade show at the Corel Center last week & today I won a director’s chair from one of the show’s sponsors. – Saw a great line on some junkmail… Blacks Photography [club] Flier: “Love Photography? Join the club!”- Read Jessica’s well-written blog and realized that in my current [...]
Media Fun.
Procrastination came to an abrupt halt thanks to my current endeavors. In the past two days I’ve had less than 4 hours of sleep with so much to do. Time is ticking down on our marketing team’s deadline to present a good-sized plan for a whitewater rafting company just outside of Ottawa. It is not [...]
