Snakes and Lattes – A Review
I’m the token board game geek friend, and so I received many links about Snakes and Lattes, a board game cafe near Bathurst and Bloor in Toronto. It costs $5 and you can stay and play for as long as you like.
Qatar 5 – Final Day
This morning, I tried to send a post card. I’m not confident it will get anywhere. I went to the front desk, but the person didn’t know for sure what to do with it. I probably spoke too fast. He called his superior, and I didn’t understand him but he said ‘7 riyals’ somewhere in his sentence. That was fine… Read more →
Qatar 4 – Souq Waqaf
They don’t have cream here. At least, from what I can tell. I was at the breakfast buffet this morning and I asked for cream for my coffee. My server looked at me with that same confused expression others give me when I bring up AT-ATs in polite conversation. Are my hobbies and interests so eclectic that they should garner… Read more →
Qatar 3 – Industrial City
I’m not hungry. I wasn’t hungry when I woke up. I wasn’t hungry during lunch, and I wasn’t hungry at dinner. Is it the time difference? I dunno, the food is good and I want to eat, but I’m full all the time. I don’t think it helped that breakfast and lunch the day before were buffets. So I only… Read more →
Qatar – Day 2
My bathroom smells like roses. They cleaned it. But that’s getting ahead of myself. I should probably start off with my arrival. I could tell you all sorts of facts about Qatar, but that would mean I would need to log on to wikipedia and look up things you probably would ignore. So look it up yourself. Having said that,… Read more →
Qatar – Over 24 Hours of Travelling
It’s currently 11:50pm EST. We’re approximately halfway to Frankfurt, just four hours in. I’m flying with Lufthansa, and most of things in here are German, which gives me flashbacks to my last trip to Germany. Guess what! There is still free alcohol on this international flight! Huzzah!
iSuccumbed – Errol’s iPad Review
Just to let you know, I am going to rip on the iPad in this review. I’ve had the thing for two weeks now. I have barely put it down. My wife could attest to that. She says there are some things that couples should do together without the iPad. I disagreed but that is another story.
Facebook Friends Video – I’ll Leave a Comment For You
About a week or so ago, I posted this update: Well, a bunch of people thought I was fishing for compliments, and so said nice things about me. That honestly wasn’t my intention, I’d rather have Apple Store gift cards. … that’s a hint, btw. 😀 Anyway, I finally got around to the first idea that came into my head,… Read more →
My First House Filk
There is a story I relate about my wife talking to a Malaysian woman. She was shocked to find out that Keren was married to a Filipino male. One of the reasons was the amount of people Filipinos liked to have over every weekend. According to her, no white woman would stand for that. But my Dove is a very… Read more →
Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution!
Some great quotes in here. 😀
