sprinkles?

My wife decorated some cupcakes the other day. I guess she spent a while with the sprinkles. I wondered why they call them sprinkles if they are placed with such care. Sprinkles are called sprinkles because you sprinkle them. They should call them Placies or something more appropriate if they will not be sprinkled. At any rate they were yummy.

FCSI February update

It's been such a while since I have posted a F.C.S.I. It's actually been a while since I have posted any of my own photos at all.

I couldn't help but get this one. They are graffiti style black and white shorts with a striped button up. The beanie is the icing on this all over cake. the upside was the Jordan's he was wearing.
ps. this kid is a funny guy, just the outfit took over the humor this time.

Cut Copy is still my favorite

I know, I know, I say things like "this is my favorite" and "this is the best ever". All the time but Cut Copy has stayed consistent for over a year. I cannot get sick of their album, as much as I try. Here are some rad live documentary stuff.

Canada

I am not the patriotic type. The fact that I am a Canadian living the states doesn't bother me, i don't feel like i have "lost my identity" or "abandoned my home" or the slew of other things I have heard over the last couple years. I would love to live in Canada just like anywhere else. Anyway, my dad sent me a funny e-mail yesterday about facts of Canadian history.
Here are just a couple.

-Baseball is Canadian - First game June 4, 1838 - Ingersoll , ON
-Basketball is Canadian
-Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany
-Our civil war was fought in a bar and lasted a little over an hour.
-We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis and the telephone.
-A Canadian invented Superman.

It's Blitz!

One album worth looking forward to this year.

"""The 3rd album from New York’s finest Yeah Yeah Yeahs is to be titled It’s Blitz! and is due to be unleashed on an unsuspecting planet on April 10. The album will be preceded by the single Zero which shows the band on their most electronic, experimental tip to date, with the inimitable Yeah Yeah Yeahs bombast flecked with swatches of synths and atmospheric effects.

According to the band, It’s Blitz! was inspired by the ’70s disco collaborations between Italian producer Giorgio Moroder and R&B songstress Donna Summer, Joy Division, and, well, Karen O’s love of dancing, and these all come through in their own YYY-warped way on the record.

It’s Blitz! was recorded across a number of studios across the states with production duties shared by TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek and Nick Launay (Talking Heads, Arcade Fire, INXS), and captures a band at the height of their powers and completely owning a gallant new direction."""

ps. it's still raining but now it's mixed with a little snow and a whole lot of lame.

grammys

Didn't watch it cause frankly I care less and less every year about any opinion but mine. Not decided on if that's a good or bad thing, when I decide on my own opinion I will let you know....
Anyway, this is the best "thank you" speech I have ever heard

It will probably be taken down within the day and wont work

8 months ago...

As I have previously mentioned, my closest bros managed to make a trip down to California for the wedding of yours truly. Ryan is a rather artsy fellow with still and motion and took a few pictures. I had never noticed this album he had on his facespace or myface or whatever the kids call it these days.

there is no need for captions, those who know, know who these are.






ps. ryan, can you get me a copy of all the shots you guys got?

Trust Me

Trust me is this new(ish) show on TNT it's my favorite new show. It's about the advertising worlds and the stressness of it. Stressness is now a word as of 3 minutes ago. The episode this last Monday had the word "Douche" more times than any other show ever. Long story short, they had to hire this kid and he was referred to as a douche the whole time and it was very appropriate.

so long...

I was meaning to post this a while ago, but i guess our online fashion and R&B guru has quit. He should have known blogging isn't for the faint of heart. He did manage to give a good 6 months or so. So long Terry, you will be missed.

PS. if you ever wanna join the big leagues let me know, we could use you over here.

i want one

This is one of those awesome things I find that I would love to buy but think I actually could make it myself.
