This just in: I have just now told my spell-checker to accept “blog” as a word. I am nothing if not the apogee of efficiency. So welcome to my lexicon “blog,” no more will you feel the shame of the red squiggly line of infamy. Although, to be honest, even though I love the blog [...]

So yeah. Those of you who also check all the comments may remember that I was invited to participate in an open-mic Monday night. Propositioned through the blog… how exciting. I received a lot of encouragement from friends far and wide, so I decided to go for it. At first I was nervous about performing [...]

Well folks, it’s been hectic. Not so much hectic in the sense of a world gone mad, but more so that life just seemed to be conspiring against the blog lately. It’s annual report time at work, so what with writing, rewriting, editing and proofreading the same 40 pages over and over; the general tendency [...]

I think it would be funny if I wrote something and then inadvertently spilled a tube of crazy glue on the papers in some kind of comic fashion, and then accidentally sat on the manuscript in some other comedic manner, so that when someone asked me, “What’s that on your ass?” I could say, “That’s [...]

Subaru: Where’d you guys go to dinner last night? Me: A Chinese place called, “Yuan Tung.” Pretty tasty. Subaru: Yeah, that’s an old Karachi favourite. Me: I wouldn’t know. Subaru: No you wouldn’t. Me: Right. Well, it’s across the street from another Chinese restaurant called “Little China.” But I didn’t want to go there because [...]

It’s a pretty favourable review, but for some reason, I think this is my favourite part: Of all the actors, David Ford, who played the bar owner, Freddy, was the most natural. Luckily, the review comes out just [...]

I was typing something up and listening to some tunes on Subaru Kazoo’s laptop the other night when I felt a strange sensation, like a small prick. I know what you’re thinking, but I checked, and Subaru Kazoo was not behind me. No, rather, it was like a pin-prick in my left wrist – not [...]

It really wasn’t really until I started getting emails and comments asking if I was ok, that I remembered that the KFC and McDonalds had been bombed the other day. So yeah, I’m fine. Thanks for your concern though. My penchant for fried chicken did not endanger me on that particular day. The KFC is [...]

Yesterday morning I was sitting on my bed in a daze, pulling on my socks, trying to clear the haze of sleep from my head. To be fair, I usually accomplish this around 11:00, but I start working on it around 8:30 (the haze, not the socks). As I pulled on my left sock, which [...]

5c48 Originally uploaded by Artsaypunk. Well, for those of you who have been demanding an updated photo, this was taken a few months back. It’s a little pose I like to call “The Evil Jesus.” And don’t worry, just because I’ve finally found a connection that I can post photos from doesn’t mean I’ll become [...]
