Pride and Pre-Juices
All Photos here. Thursday: Met up with The Photogs, The Mailman and Mr Insurance and broke my first rule of Pride (I think I broke 99% of them, this year), and had drinks at O’Greedys. Just drinks. While the service was attentive, mostly it was just smokey. Two pitchers of sangria, one…

TORONTO THUMBSCAST Episode 5A: The Star Wars Episode
After being taken over and held hostage by the entity known as “The Manic Gamer,” the Toronto Thumbs staff have been able to regain control of the recording studio just long enough to record a very, very lengthy Thumbscast. The output was so long, in fact, that we’ve decided to serialize…

Day 3 (29.vi.08)
Yes, all right, most of today was spent moping over the football - or at least, that’s how it seems to me. As it happens, I got a fair bit of my admin for the next two months done before the match started, and after I’d rolled out of bed (I stayed up quite late yesterday enjoying my hard-won…
