holy sheet!

aziz ansari is hilarious.
and you should think he's hilarious too.
cuz he's hilarious!



milk, it does a body good.

so does cheese, yogurt, broccoli, spinach, bamboo shoots, carrots, celery, cauliflower, potatoes, apples, avocados, oranges, pineapple, bananas, grapes, cherries, watermelon, strawberries, pomegranates, soy beans, white beans, eggs, ginger root...etc...

why?

because they are all calcium rich food items, that's why.

i should probably consume MORE of this stuff so my bones don't break next time...
although, compared to what i did to that pallet jack...the broken bone in my foot seems like a flesh wound.

haha!
mmmmm calcium.


sip, sippin on some sip...

i quite enjoy tylenol 3's.

30mg's of codein per serving.
mmm mmmm.

the doctor only gave me 4 tablets though...
what a gyp.
that only covers me for two days!
pretty sure my foot's gonna be broken for longer than three days!


i might have to go mix up some sizzurp, to help with the pain.






i wonder how weezy's gonna get his drank fix in the clank?

thirst is nothing, image is everything

did i almost forgot about paris fashion week?
tres chic!

an apple a day

have you ever broken your foot?
what a miserable experience that is, hey?

the hilarious part of the whole situation is - breaking your foot isn't even the worst part!
it's sitting in the goddamn emergency room at the hospital, that's the most painful.

"hey, you cool with sitting and waiting in this little room for approximately 7 hours until the doctor is ready to see you?"

fuck. my. life.

it must have been my 'lucky' day though - between waiting initially, then going to talk to the triage nurse, then waiting, then registering, then waiting, then getting xrays, then waiting, then seeing the doctor, then getting crutches - my experience yesterday only lasted 5 hours.

big win?
not really.

doc tells me, yesterday, that a chunk of bone broke off the inside of my foot, and that an orthopedist will contact me sometime this week to set up a time to go get further examination.
sweet.
got the call today.
appointment was at 10:00. i get in to see the doctor at 10:45. i'm out by 10:50.

"so doc, what do you think?"
"looks broken. stay off it. keep it elevated, get the swelling down. come see me in two weeks."
"that's it?"
"that's it"

(that's not the exact conversation, but you get the point)

what a waste of time.
you're the specialist. shouldn't you be able to give me more definitive information regarding my injury?
guess not.
see you in two weeks, asshole.

jeremy hotz knows what's up...


anyways, i'm gonna have a lot of time to waste in the next little while, so stay tuned for lots of posts about nothing!
yay!

dear idiots,

if you don't like certain food items...for instance, some common dislikes are: tomatoes, onions, pickles, even jalapenos...and you're at a restaurant, ordering something with said ingredients - but you request to not have that item in and around your food - and the server asks you if you have an allergy to it, but you don't have an allergy to it...do us all a favour, and don't say YES.

you are ruining lives.

what's the deal with people who think that, because you may not be allergic to something, and you request to not have it appear in your dish, that the restaurant you're visiting is going to spite you/not care, and just put it in there for fun?
you're not smart.

so, quit it.

also, if you tell us you have an "allergy", and your food takes long to come out, it's your own goddamn fault, so quit complaining. it's because we spent 15 minutes reading each ingredient list on each item to make sure there were no fucking onions in your shit, before we could start cooking it.

"oh...i'm not allergic to onion powder...just big chunks of onions..."

fuck you.



i actually have allergies, so i take that shit seriously.
so, quit being idiots, and ruining my life, idiots.






ps. i'm aware that certain people have intolerances to onions and tomatoes and things of this nature, and that's cool, i respect that fully. let us know, and we will make sure that item is not in your food 100%. but there's a big difference between "intolerance", which for the most part, creates an uncomfortable scenario in your stomach area, and "allergy", which can potentially end lives. don't you think?
so, like i said before...quit being idiots.

this is an update

dear cole,

i just wasted 10 seconds of your life.

you're welcome.

under these city lights

"give me the luxuries of life and i will willingly do without the necessities"
- frank lloyd wright.


so, it was friday, february 19, 2010.
kristin and i decide that we want to go for sushi. she recommends "the eatery" - i love the idea. she doesn't think it's too far, so we'll walk.
turns out we had to cross the granville bridge and walk all the way to kitsilano...took about an hour.
on our journey, we pass many cute sushi places that would have sufficed - but no - we had to go to the eatery - and i was cool with it.
"it can't be much farther..."

yadda yadda yadda...an hour later, we see it in the distance! yesss!

it doesn't open until 3:30.
it was 12:45.
yeah...
choked.
we contemplated mcdonalds at this point.
we settle for kitstaya sushi.
it was still pretty delicious, not gonna lie.
it was voted #1 cheapest sushi and #3 best sushi bar.
not bad.
leftovers in my condo fridge...

devastation

yeah, i said it: MY condo.
that story later...

5:36 - pam arrives.
i, being the gentleman that i am, offer to pick her up from the airport.
shortly after, we meet up with her sister, heather. we have reso's at voya @ 7:30.
we share some coconut prawns with curry and apple and cheese puffs with spinach and artichoke dip.
sooo delicious.
i had the spinach, ricotta and egg ravioli with brown butter and artichokes.
again, sooo delicious.
assorted cheeses for dessert.
mmmm.
most certainly enjoyed our dining experience there.
highly recommended.

during dinner, we were discussing my awful parking situation, and heather offers me a condo she has access to through her work.
we check it out.
"i'll take it."


it's sure as hell better than an air mattress. and random parkades.
gfm. <3

now it's saturday, february 20, 2010.
been chillin with the girls all day.

stay tuned for my japadog story...

and today was a day just like any other

...except today, i woke up in vancouver.


best life.

+12 and sunny.

breakfast at the elbow room, where they have RULES you must abide by, while eating at their restaurant:
#1 we only bring you your first cup of coffee. if you want more get yourself a butler.
#2 water? do you mean perrier or bottled? tap?! oh please! there will be a small charge if we get it for you.
#3 we believe in fast service. so relax. we'll be with you when we're done yakking.
#4 due to the graphic nature of our xxx vocabulary, parental discretion is advised.
#5 enjoy your stay, but be considerate of others. when there is a line-up. please REMOVE yourself!
#6 everyone brings a little joy. some by coming, and others by going. which one are YOU?
#7 this is not a public library. stop wasting time! hurry up and order something.
#8 in a hurry? well then you should have gone to mcdonalds. sit back and relax. good food takes time.

i had the 'doug russell' - poached eggs with sauteed onions, red/green peppers and mushrooms on a sourdough muffin covered with hollandaise sauce.
soooo delish.

lunch was a $1.50 slice of 'zza from romano's pizza.
also very delish.
ps. what's the deal with beef and blue cheese pizza?! it's EVERYWHERE!!!

5:30...i'm thinking it's snack and beer time. kristin just left for work, so i figured i'd pop by to visit and see what moxie's west georgia had to offer. the verdict: it's still moxie's. i'm currently enjoying a euro and potstickers...it's like i never left.
the germany/sweden game is on. not a total loss.
alicia just got off work. she's now joining me. what a slut.

what should i do tonight?
hmmmm...

party?
yes.

keep your stick on the ice.
talk to you in a bit.

live update: episode four

not much to report.
just stopped for gas outside of merritt bc.
the lady inside was very pleasant.

i'm currently enjoying one of the two turkey and swiss sandwiches my lovely aunt packed for my adventure.
it's delicious.

also noteworthy: kamloops is a wonderful place. so scenic and beautiful. if you haven't been there, you should probably at least drive through.
what also makes it wonderful, is the 3 lane highway...love it.

well, better hit the road again...

vancouver - 260km to go.

peter chao, here i come!

live updates: episode two

well friends... regina, medicine hat and everything inbetween, have come and gone.
i can't say there was anything memorable from my journey through saskatchewan.
i can tell you that i wish there was a box of tacks stashed somewhere in my car...
the pain might have actually helped me stay awake. (note to self: next time journeying through saskatchewan - brink a box of tacks)
i got pretty sleepy there for a while...
special thanks to my friend dane cook for helping me stay awake...he's a silly bitch. gfm.
**the only good thing about this rectangular province is the 110km/h speed limit.

"130km/h, updating my blog, like whoa"

also...don't ever go to swift current. it's shit there.


only 300km to calgary...
ugh...not having cruise control sucks ball.

anyways...
see you in the funny pages.

live updates: episode one


so, my quest to find peter chao has begun...
(it seems extra appropriate since it's the beginning of the chinese new year - insert tiger woods joke here...)

i'm currently driving through saskatchewan, and i can tell you there are a number of things i would much rather be doing.
for instance, to name a few:
- eating glass
- falling on tacks
- putting my arm in a deep fryer


on the bright side, my ipod is playing one of the best shuffles of its career.
pretty stoked.
there's nothing more crucial to a long solo road trip through banjo player country, than good tunes.
so, big ups, ipod. gfm.

"oh look, another bale of hay!"

anyways...
talk to you in a bit.

happy valentines day.

the canadian tuxedo


denim is in.

you heard it here, second.

because you clearly heard it first from GQ magazine...




what's up, denim dan?
hollaaa!!

i'm smarter than you?

if you eat while you're pooping, does that make you a hypocrite?
or is that an oxymoron?






i just made you think about what it'd be like to eat while you poop.

...or have you already done it?

hmmm...

weirdo.
