However, much of the humor seems to be intentional, so it’s also unlike THE ROOM. Ambulance driver falls under the spell of a vampire race car. Vampire car’s previous [...]

    I just received an email from TIFF about their much improved online ticket purchasing options, and since their previous shopping interface was… horrifying… I opted to check it out. There were some issues on trying to activate my account, due in part to layout issues in both Chrome and Internet Explorer (screen shots of some [...]

    On the one hand, I’ve mostly stopped listening to podcasts, but I feel better saying that I read a book than that I listened to some guy who talks about stuff on The Internet.

    260 Wellesley Street East, Toronto

    by  • 7/21/2010 • life • 5 Comments

    This is not a place that you want to rent an apartment. If you’re considering it, or you have an application pending – you should seriously reconsider your options. The apartments are fine, if a little poorly maintained, and the neighbourhood is alright; very nice mix of people from all over, and you couldn’t be [...]
