September 2008
Off to make some pizza dough.
Dough is rising. Mmmm.. homemade pizza. I think I’m gonna split it in 2 and try to make 2 pies with thinner crust. Ultra hot oven ftw.
Nuit Blanche invite: Come see my bandmate Andrew’s installation, accompanied by a new EP by our band, Softcopy. (http://is.gd/3l3x)
I suspect that someone had slipped crack into this banana bread, except that I made it, and I don’t remember doing that. Must be the crack..
Based on some of my co-workers immune systems, I don’t take nearly enough advantage of my sick days.
I don’t know what posessed me to ride to work, in the rain, on a bike with no fenders, without wearing my rain pants. Soaking wet jeans FTL.
Listening to Quirks & Quarks podcast about primate preference for cooked vs. raw food. I’m now totally craving BBQ. Oh, and ooo ee oo aa aa.
Alloy tubular rims I wanted aren’t available.. now I’m tempted to go with something far too expensive again. :P
Real life clichés: Always picking the wrong line at the grocery store.
makin some chocolate walnut banana bread. Mmm!
…and then I made some burritos while the banana bread was baking. Double-mmm! I’m awesome! :)

First mixes from our Nuit Blanche recording project sound amazing! Woot!
Muscle strain feeling a lot better today, but I’m not going to let that fool me into re-injuring it.
Spending the afternoon working on Soft Copy recordings.
Geoff Kabush vs. Yao Ming beer drinking contest at the Beijing Olympics. Just heard about this today. Too funny… http://is.gd/3eaQ
See, this is why people hate computers. Quicktime isn’t working on a site & what does it tell me is wrong? Nothing. Just a QT logo + ? mark.
Was enjoying some lazy couch time, but I’m starting to get a little stir-crazy.
ugh.. leg-wound is kinda puffy/gross. Think I should go back to the doc on Monday. :S
Great ride on the Tour de Greenbelt this morning. The weather was lovely outside the GTA. Finish at a winery with amazing BBQ/wine/dessert.
Up at wrong o’clock to see a man about some wheels before the ride starts.
I loves me some math-rock (takes out calculator). ♫ http://blip.fm/~a5ln

Nice. Got a group of about 7 people together to do the Tour De Greenbelt ride tomorrow, rain be damned!
Oh the things you find in the office refridgerator on cleanup duty.
Meeting @remarkk at the Riv.
The white bike saddle chronicles: California dirt turned it red. It faded. Now my jeans have turned it blue.

Lame twitter follower-grubbing tactic: following and then immediately unfollowing people.

What is up with the SXSW Registrants Directory? It looks so bad I feel like I have CSS disabled. Isn’t this an interactive conference?
“Maureen’s got 5 sisters. They all got ass. One of ‘em has eyes… as big as Jolly Ranchers.”
Four Tet’s DJ Kicks album is amazing. Ending on “Flutter” by Autechre? So perfect.
I think I’m gonna ride home from the bike shop with 2 bikes. Is that wrong? What about if I’m drunk, too?
As the guy in the last desk at the end of the hall, I get all the lost people. Unfortunately I’m also terrible with names, so I’m useless.
I wish all my shoes fit me as well as my fine Italian footwear http://www.sidiusa.com/dom5.html

Started the day with some core exercises and stretching.. gotta get back into the routine.
wtf. I’m trying to import an aiff file into Logic, but when I play it back it sounds too slow (time-stretched)
Woot. Just signed up for SXSW 2009!
oy.. recording is exhausting.

wtf is it so difficult to copy (cmd-v) text from twhirl? grr.
Dah.. more things keep going wrong on my commuter. Considering a new build.. 650b maybe?
blurgh.. 70% chance of rain on Saturday. Good for Sunday cyclocross conditions, bad for Saturday road ride.
Proof I’m not an Apple Fanboy: it annoys me when a designer sends me Mac-specific files because they assume I’m using one. (dayjob = pc)
I just heard/saw the word “webinar” used twice in the past 60 seconds.
now two helicopters.
Big plume of dark smoke from bloor & avenue. Now a circling chopper. ???
