House-Party on St Urbain

went to a party at Mark’s.

Mark was wearing a baby blue suit and his yarmulke.
His hands were sticky with Jagermeister.

I was in the kitchen with Merit,
Took some Jello Shots and drank a beer,
To see what a normal party was like.
I could feel the alcohol
Pulsing thick emotion through my brain.
I took 2 shots of Goldschlager,
Just to stay high.

On the Verandah,
Surrounded by glass
Overlooking the backyards of St Urbain.
Mark’s guitar was plugged in
And I played simple hip-hop beats on the tam-tams
With the few kids that could play.
Some were pretty good.
Rory was the most creative
He played slide guitar with a Corona bottle.

Anyways. That’s it. A little tipsy as I walked home. The girls on St Laurent look ready for Sex. The girls at the party were wearing short skirts and boots. Flexing thigh in the McGill Arts way. I don’t want none of it. Or I do, except, nevermind.


The cars on St Laurent are honking
Late into the night

At least you didn’t have any party lovin roommates to deal with. When I was in college I had some bad roommates and some good ones the bad ones are far more fun to talk about tho…. My first roommate had no job,was antisocial, had bad hygiene, and smelled mad funky 24/7, a real bamma but since he was antisocial I only noticed this on the rare occasions he actually came out of his room. He would take on any fucking job that didn’t require good hygiene or social skills. Highlights include stankin so bad you would think there’s a dead body in his room, slammin the front door at two in the AM, and passin out naked in the bathroom. He DID keep common areas clean, since he was almost never in them.
My second roommate was bummy,surly, and had a lot of gold teeth. Gold teeth were due to the fact that he was bummy and surly and I’m sure he’ll bust grapes and lose more teeth in the future. He liked to be unemployed from Jan.-March, but this didn’t really harm his cash flow cause he also liked to sell chronic. Other highlights were late night confrontations with his blitzed jackass friends, missin food, late rent payments,and raiding my wine coolers for his friends. He kept his room clean for his friends and customers, but made a mess of the common areas.
Roommate three was wack he liked to take long walks on the beach. Unfortunately he liked to creep around with his friend’s wife and follow it up with late night freebasing sessions. He was friendly, and had a toothless grin. Slightly out of touch from years of hella drug use, but more considerate than my other two roommates. Liked to talk endlessly, but only when I was in the middle of something. Also liked to clean, but would talk about how he cleaned.

Carasek: Growing up, my only impression of the average Chinese was that they were hard as nails. John Woo, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies will have that effect, of course.

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.
