“The man in black fled across the desert…. and the gunslinger followed”
With these words I first entered the first book of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, The Gunslinger. I picked it up last year partially because I knew Marvel was doing a graphic novel and partially because apparently a lot of the Lost mythology is [...]

This is from Moby’s blog (one of the few I subscribe to for non-serious content, worth checking out). A great Nike ad from the perspective of the player.
The perspective of an Arsenal player!

I think it’s friggin awesome. Nike really knows which team to pick

I just finished season 1 of Cane today, a series about a Cuban family in America running a family rum business.
From episode one I had issues with the pacing with the story. Some scenes were so short that they had no meaning and others were a little long. Some storylines were frankly, a waste of [...]

Caught Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay tonight. I think Sunday nights are pretty good to watch movies if you don’t have work the next day because the cinema is pretty darn empty! I wanted to book online earlier but saw that not even 20% of the cinema was full, so Rubin and I [...]

Since I’m heading away to Canada for at least four months in August, I thought it’d be best to neaten up my room a little bit before I go. Remember the post awhile back about me having a hard time finding stuff? Well, I took everything that was loose (ie on the floor, on the [...]

I’m wasn’t going to blog about this because it’s seriously bigger than it should be, but I think we need to realise what we’re doing. (I’m going to echo Estee a little bit here)
When are we going to stop realising that this is not about “us“? It’s not about who is the core group of [...]

Looking through the very short list of my videos on YouTube, I’m reminded of this little clip taken two years ago of Rubin eating a pistachio ice-cream cone at Swensens.

This was actually the second time that night, but the first time the cone didn’t break. Don’t say you weren’t warned if you attempt to eat [...]

This term I took a compulsory course called Strategy under Adel Dimian. At the end of the course he gave everyone a t-shirt with his trademark “There Is No Cannot” slogan and a week before exams encouraged us to wear it for the final paper.
Guess what? We did.

As Michael Netzley says “2.0 of us”

Ams, myself [...]

Yesterday I was walking around with Reuben talking about games. He said “Damn I want to buy Rock Band”. I said nonchalantly, “Why don’t you? It’s available what.”
He said “No it’s not”, I said “Yes it is! I read about it on a blog.” So he refused to believe me until I whipped out my [...]

I stumbled upon Rachel’s blog yesterday where she mentions the gist of what a professor said in class:
Two weeks ago, my Comms professor gave a farewell speech to commemorate the end of the module. In his speech, he shared with us what the seniors thought of us. To paraphrase what he said – you freshmen [...]
