Lychee
Jul 21st
Mmmm… I ate a lychee tonight. It’s been a very long time since I’ve had any. Probably the strangest fruit I know off.
My foot is getting better, slowly. I’ve been walking on it lots today, due to having to go to work, and it’s taking it alright. Work was very slow today. Spent almost all of it with Lee and Sarah. Fun people.
In other news, I’ve made a few changes to my sidebar, again. Made a new category – “My…”. Enjoy it. Please. Hehe… I recorded myself spinning the other night, and have made it into a track I have More >
I, Impressed.

I just got in from seeing I, Robot. Let me say that I think the trailers of the film did not do it justice at all. I’m a big Isaac Asimov fan (I’m the one who got Jeremy Wright to read Foundation… I think). So I had been watching the progress of the I, Robot film over the last few years, with excitement. When I saw the first trailer, I cried in anguish. “This movie looks like complete trash.” Or something to that effect. So I’ve been fairly indifferent to it since then, until I saw the movie today. I was More >
Problem.

Last night Maija came over and we went running. We figured we’d run for half an hour or so, so we went down Eglinton a little to a path I know of, that runs by a creek, and ran down there. Then we turned back onto the streets after a little while, and things began to get interesting. I thought I had a good grasp of where we were… clearly I did not. After running through small streets for a while, we ended up back at Martingrove. Good, I thought to myself. So we turned down Martingrove in the direction More >
Fire Wire
Jul 18th
Yesterday had to be one of the best Saturdays I’ve had in a while. And I have good Saturdays. Maija picked me up around 3 and we went to the Drivers Test office. I passed my G1 written test with flying colours. I’m going to encourage my brother to do it straight away when he turns 16 and not waste time like me. Anyway, yeah, that was cool. Then we drove to York Mills and took the subway downtown to Queen. We walked the streets of Downtown Toronto for the next… 3 hours? It was fun times. We hit More >
This is a holdup, not a botany lesson

Last night saw us at Michael’s house, for a “cooking extravanganza.” Mike made us all curry, which turned out to be very tasty, especially seeing as none of us white folk had actually made curry before. But yeah, quite good. Then we went to the video store and spent 40 minutes choosing a video. It was just plain silly. In the end we got SWAT. Then we returned home to Mike’s and made desert. Flombayed bananas on crepes with berry and chocolat sauce. All made by us. We would have made Jon Long proud. Then we watched SWAT, which wasn’t More >
I’m famous again.

Thanks to Mark Hardy and Green Room, I am famous again on the internet. (Again being after that J Puddy Pool Accesory issue.) Hit this. The guy in Canada with the new turntables… that’s me.
Everything Collapses
Jul 15th
Most of my body is now dry… except my crotchal area, after a slight accident this morning. Not an accident of the crotchal kind, but of the not-turning-the-water-off-while-plumbing kind.
I was down at the School of Ministry building fixing two taps that didn’t work. The water main for the hot water was really stiff, and so to turn it all the way off, you had to use channel-locks. So I had taken the hot water tap apart, and everything seemed fine, and then I had taken apart and fixed the cold-water tap. However, when I turned both water mains back on, More >
Abundance
Jul 14th
Today is God’s Abundance Day.
My Dad called today to let me know that the hotel he stayed in in Singapore (or Hong Kong… don’t recall) is going to reimburse him for the theft of his laptop. Good news.
Also… I received a raise today :) Good times! So I’m excited, God is so faithful. He challenged me to give a large gift some weeks ago, and with trepidation I did, and already I am seeing the fruit. Go God!
In other news… does anyone feel like lending me 3200$? You’ll have it back in 4 months. Serious. More >
Photos
Jul 12th
I’m having trouble making Hello Bloggerbot work, but I think it’s just my computer.
Buying a new one (computer) is being put on hold a bit by my planning a trip to NZ and being suddenly aware of some 4k$ that will need to leave my pocket.
Anyway. If you cast your eyes to the right, and follow the nifty sidebar down, past Previous Posts, and past Blogs, you will find… Photos!
Enjoy! Don’t do anything with them that I wouldn’t do.
Back now.

Got back in yesterday from kids camp. Had a blast… got terribly sunburned, but the kids were touched in a deep Holy Spirit way, so that’s all good. Almost all of them were speaking in tongues by the end of the week! Kickass!
Right now I’m listening to Sunday Bloody Sunday… I just got both U2 Best-Of CDs. Good listening.
Maija and I had our 1 month-of-going-out anniversary on Friday. She bought me a kite! I was so thrilled. I love kites and have been jonesing to go kite-flying for a while, but was hindered by my lack of kite. We’re going More >
