I’m sorry, your account hasn’t been paid

It’s a little frustrating to be told that when you’re trying to find out why no technician has been dispatched to fix your photocopier. But, when the man who writes the cheques (i.e. solves the problems) is a good friend of yours, then things aren’t as rough as they could be.
I didn’t get out of […]

How to Dismantle An Excellent Album

I just finished listening through U2’s latest offering: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
First thoughts: Every track on this album is great!Second thoughts: Except Vertigo… I don’t really like Vertigo so much (ironically), but all the other tracks are brilliant.
According to Time magazine, The Edge is the real star of the album. According to Pudd, […]

Carpet Burns

I spun what I felt to be a very solid set tonight at Youth Network. I was feeling the nerves before hand, so I retreated to my office and wrapped myself in my hoodie, like a hoodlum, and just sat there. It was quite nice, talking to God, all the dark of my hood.
Then after […]

It hurts when I swallow

But just a little.
I was in the middle of spinning a new mix, my first planned-for-CD mix, and I goofed it, so no more dj-ing for tonight. I was bringing in the 6th track (of 13) and the beat-match wasn’t good, and I had brought it in too far to stop, so I just killed […]

Another one bites the dust.

It’s official. Old man Arafat is dead.
He’s been supposedly dead for a week or so, and then officially alive, and then officially “we’re not sure,” and then officially “He’s in a coma,” and now official “His body is being shipped to Egypt.”
Israel sighs a sigh of relief. Palestine screams, “Israel must burn.” I thanked God […]

Halo 2sday

It’s rather thrilling really. Halo 2 has sold over 1.5 million pre-orders. I’m picking mine up today at lunch.
The only thing that could possibly excite me more today is… 5 month anniversary! w00t. Probably the best Tuesday ever.

Dancing, Movies and Bush

Zeo rocked my face off. Arguably I was the one doing the rocking, but whatever. My face was off. Right off. I’ve been told by a few that I was the highlight of there evening. Very touched/surprised/amazed/glorifying of the Almighty. I was even asked to go and play at someone’s church (in MacTier), so I’m […]

Photocopying

I advise you all to shop between companies/locations if you’re ever getting things photocopied. I just called two different Business Depot stores to find out their rates, in order to select rates of my own.
Store #1:7c/BW page70c/Colour page
Store #2:8c/BW page76c/Colour page
Wierd. Same company, different locations. So… yeah. Shop around.
