Shakespanime

Someone needs to create anime versions of shakespeare plays. In Japanese. With olde English subtitles. That would so rock.

Two minutes

That's about how long it took for Sigur Ros tickets to sell out. Fuck.

Prairie Dance Club

We hit the Media Club on Wednesday to check out our friend Carl's band, Prairie Dance Club. Alt-Country. A bit like Wilco, but as Mandy puts it "more melodic, less jarring". They had a great stage presence, especially considering it was their second live show.

Potlatch

Last weekend, I was down in Redmond for Potlatch. It is always impressive driving up to a massive expanse of grass fields, where 100+ teams get together to throw around round pieces of plastic. Like last year, it was epic. Like last year, the level of play was high. Unlike last year, we won some games (two out of eight).

Have a look at the pics!

Class of 93

Damn, I'm so far behind in bloggin'.

Three weeks ago, my entire graduation class had a reunion of sorts down at Canada Place. We all got together to go see U2 3D. All four of us.

It's pretty cool to say you still talk to your whole grad class regularly.

Gooooooooooooool

I've been watching the Euro 2008 as much as possible. But damn, it is tough to isolate 3 hours of time every single day to watch. I think I'm three days behind now (I'm recording them). Looking good are the Dutch, Portugal, and Spain - all entertaining teams to watch.

Pièce de cheesistance

I don't really have a post to go along with the title. It just popped into my head and I had to use it or lose it.

Fuck You Apple

When I install a program, it should not place an icon in my quickstart, an icon on my desktop, and update the registry to run a program on startup, all without asking me.

Scramble HighQ

head to head challenge.
Mandy is kicking my ass.
Damn, she's really good.

Ride away

I finally got out on my new bike today. I was kinda waiting for Mandy to get hers, but it's apparently on back-order. Grr. So I sussed out my potential bike route to work (or at least, the first half of it).

Verdict: getting there should be fine. There's a bit of uphill at the start but it's smooth sailing to the bridge after that. Getting home will be a slog though, finished with a fun downhill at the end. It's incredible how much difference a slight incline can make. Dammit, my legs are gonna be angarx at me tomorrow.

It's over!

Err, I mean... It's starting!
