Apparently when Molasses was sold and became Aqua Velvet, none of the staff was kept. So the head coffee guy started his own coffee place. It’s located down the alley between Right Up My Alley and the ever-excellent GAg. There’s no menu board, just an espresso machine. So I went up there and ordered a [...]
I bought “Justified” from The Warehouse in Hamilton. I would have supported one of the incredibly cool independently owned record stores such as Big Tones, or maybe Tracs, but The Warehouse was cheapest – $29.95 vs $34.95. I took the case up to the music counter to get the disc. There were two girls working [...]
(I promise I’ll shut up about Justin Timberlake soon, ok?) This is what happens when you get three women together who are or have recently been pregnant: they talk about pregnancy stuff (motherhood really does mean mental freeze). Then they get drunk (except for the pregnant one) and they talk about regular stuff and for [...]
In a perfect world, the ugly hodogs would be the ones finding the golden Craig David CDs. Fashion Tip: If you are fat, you should not wear black mesh clothing. By fat I’m not talking about medical definitions. I mean fat as in “OMG, I ate two muffins. I am such a fat cow!” – [...]
* It’s interesting how The Vines CD – which normally has a green cover, with a hippyish design involving green vines – has a plastic overwrap with a different cover design. It’s black with red squiggles. Less hippyish and far more rock ‘n’ roll. * I bought a cool shirt today. Actually, it’s only partially [...]
One takeaway latte, made by the bass player in one of my favourite bands of all time. So now everything is ok. Cranky-ass bitch? She’s gone. I’m happy and inspired now! Raggiz: 1. Browsing around Raglan Dealers brings up all sorts of dilemmas. Should I buy the collection of bridge scoring pads and folders? Or [...]
1. A china bowl with lid shaped like a cauliflower. Possibly the most hideous gift I have ever received. 2. A wire basket. Quite nice, of use as a fruit bowl. 3. A calendar. And that’s it. That’s my Christmas booty for this year. No books, no CDs, no underwear (and I would actually have [...]
Hey, you know how near New Year’s there’s always some hilarious person who makes a list of new year’s resolutions and suggests giving up smoking but (ha ha) if you don’t smoke (ha ha), start smoking and then quit!! Ha ha ha! So that’s what I’m doing. Only it’s possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever [...]
The person referred to in 20/12/2003 as “that guy from that band” and the person referred to in 23/12/2002 as “my new favourite guitarist from my new favourite band” are not necessarily the same person, ok? But Santa knows what I want for Christmas, ya.
There was a big ol’ box at the post office. Inside it were the following items: * Two wooden salt and pepper shakers shaped like cats, complete with googly eyes. When you tip the pepper cat up, it makes a noise like a cat would make if it was really sick. The salt one doesn’t [...]
