Best Pictures.
I have now officially seen all the Best Picture Oscar nominees for this year.

My favourite was True Grit, but I think The King’s Speech should (and will) take it.
Christian Bale was ridiculous in The Fighter. He deserves every damn award he wins for that performance.

Egypt.
I was born on October 6, 1981 - the exact day that Anwar El Sadat was assassinated Cairo. Hosni Mubarak has been the President of Egypt for the full span of my life, and Egypt has also been living under Emergency Law for that entire time.

Dated.
I am 29. I have a nose piercing - a tiny stud. So do quite a few of my female friends who are the same age. We have all had this piercing for at least a decade. Most days I forget I even have it.

Tuesday Storytime: Beeeeeowip
Last summer at a bbq a friend was fixated on this strange word. She kept drunkenly calling out “beeeeeowip!” in a high pitched voice. She eventually told everyone that she heard it from another friend who works as a prison guard. Apparently one of the inmates is hearing impaired and doesn’t really speak, so he makes this call when he wants something from the guards. This seemed hilarious at the...

This is why I can't afford a new car.
Last year I was constantly ferrying over to Vancouver for shows. Granted, I saw some fucking fantastic concerts in Victoria in 2010 (Wilco, Broken Social Scene and Leonard Cohen blew my mind). But now it seems like all these rad bands I want to see are coming to Victoria. Tres bien.

Feb 18 - Best Coast
