Whew, ok, still buzzing. Too much geek in one day. Loved it. I swear my body is trying to spontaneously form pocket protectors and calculator watches, stigmata-like, out of my own flesh.
This weekend in Toronto. Geek-Fest 2004, also known as the Canadian National Expo… even more also-ly known as Comic Book [...]

“Twitch” - Bif Naked
I got an iPod. 40 gig, over half full right off the bat, still plenty of CDs to import. My life needs a soundtrack.

OK, I feel like a total piece of meat right now. Which is [...]

“Whatcha up to bro?”
“BBQ?”
“I’m there.”
Should take me about an hour or so to walk back to my place from here… need steaks. Very little time, gotta get a marinade together fast. 10 minutes, found a butcher, got two steaks, some rub-on marinade and Barberian’s steak spice, and a pack of real Italian chinotto [...]
