Review: Methodology
Jan 30th
The CD release party was a fun fun time. DJ Shagz spun a couple of great sets, mixing funky soul with a bit of hip hop. Methodology played a pretty good show, with two sets, the second featuring some special guests. Most notable was Nick “The Brownman” Ali, who I had not heard of but is evidently one of the best young jazz trumpeters in Toronto. The venue, Revival, was a very cool place with room for about 150, with brick interior walls, a high black ceiling, fabric draping from the ceiling to the walls, and candles burning in recessed windows.

New Music: Methodology

I seriously recomend you check out Methodology. I was just introduced to them, they’re a very cool funk outfit in Toronto. Visit their website here, or visit their myspace here. You can download some tracks and listen to them on their myspace. It’s really worth your while.
So, having done that, I’m sure you want to go and check them out live… right?
Well! They have happen to be throwing a release party on Friday the 27th of January, supported by my good friend DJ Shagz. If you’re a diligent reader you might know that I’ve missed every Shagz related event I’ve More >

If you were alarmed upon reading that title, thinking Maija is pregnant, you are correct!
HA! I lied.
But to set the record straight, we have decided that the only thing stopping us from having children now is financial instability. We are both quite eager to put forth a family, so once I get me a serious cash-flowin’ job, and we pay off some debt, then you’ll know what to expect. Incidentally, if you’d particularly like to see us have children now, we figure $50k would be enough to pay off the various banks and international governments that hound us, and More >

Rorzo
Jan 11th
Tonight after playing too much Fable: The Lost Chapters I tidied the house and then cooked dinner. I retrieved rice from the pasta drawer, meat from the fridge (it had now thawed) and vegetables from the drawers in the bottom of the fridge. Time to cook a stir-fry!
Everything was going great until my wife, upon arrival home, asked me why I was cooking orzo. I guess the fact that I pulled the “rice” from the pasta drawer should have tipped me off. But oh well. So, she made rice, which we finished the stir-fry with… and I added milk and butter and More >
