The Tunes

Due to my kindness I have switched mp3 players with someone for the summer and so I am limited to 256 and 64 MB (instead of my excessive 5 GB) of tunes for my trip. I am open to suggestions as to what I shall take with me.

This is what I chose, not in any particular order.

I was seriously considering an audio book, but then realised that I wouldn't have room for anything else.

The Comment

"Yeah, but Darren Day is blaming coke for being a wanker. If I was cocaine, I'd sue him..."

The Visions

A few results of being in the car with someone who is camera happy.


O.K. Tokyo.


Come to visit me and I will drive you around with no side mirror.

Yonge, not so late at night.

I live with that horror.

The Comrades/Tovarisch

The past several days were spent with two Bulgarians. Bulgaria was, in the past, run by a communist regime.

As children in school, we were rewarded gold stars for answering questions correctly, doing homework, etc.

My mom answered a question of one of the Bulgarians, by which he was impressed, he rewarded her with red dots.

Intense and hilarious.
