Head Games

Have you seen this criminal? Call 1-800-NO-CRIME now! OK, I’m only kidding. The male head above is nothing more than a recent attempt to draw the human figure, in this case, the male head. I know how to doodle a little bit, but I’ve never been able to draw the human figure with ease and [...]

Bizarre Poodle-Woman Hybrid Exercise Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdX_OBUeHb4 My friend recently commented in jest, “It’s like a fat cat coughed up a hairball in your blog. Give it a rest.” Let it not be said that fruity didn’t offer variety or hear the mass voices of recreational slackers. This is for YOU, a short YOUTube video (3 min. 30 sec.) featuring a poodle-hybrid [...]

I Should Get More… Sleep

Yes, that’s the lazy fat cat known as Max in our previous house - in that perpetually half-awake, half-dreamy state. Thumbing his cat nose at our “furniture off-limits, yecch cat hair” rule. Now, he’s much too old and fat to jump up on anything… Hmm, we sold that “uncomfortable wicker set” recently - sofa, coffee [...]

Teasing the Lazy Fat Cat with a Big Piece of Popcorn

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNbDVMdV0U4 If YouTube is offline, download this alternative QuickTime .mov video (27 sec., 1.12 MB). Here we are again with a short YouTube video of the lazy fat cat known as Max doing what he does best - begging for food. Popcorn, to be exact. The corny critter loves the sweet taste of cooked frozen or fresh [...]

Eating Italian at Grazie Ristorante

ast night, I had dinner at Grazie Ristorante (2373 Yonge St.) with 3 former co-workers from Mordor, that vegetable-free stronghold walled by mountains and ruled by the Great Eye. Denied of at least 5 to 10 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day, the inhabitants of this dying land (but not yet dead) are [...]

Devil’s Food Cupcake with Peanut Butter Frosting and White Chocolate

My sister made chocolate cupcakes again, however, unlike the last time, these moist cupcakes were made from a devil’s food cake batter rich in dark cocoa flavour instead of Swiss milk chocolate. They were topped off with a peanut butter frosting (quickly whipped up with smooth creamy peanut butter, icing sugar, milk and vanilla extract) [...]

Imogen Heap: Hide and Seek

… not so much a post as it is just a placeholder for a YouTube video - “Hide and Seek” by Imogen Heap from her “Speak For Yourself” 2005 album. A song I heard in a promo commercial for an episode of the new NBC drama TV series “Heroes” about otherwise ordinary people who suddenly [...]

American IDLE: Max the Fat Cat and Singing Gorilla

OK, I heard your requests for “more” frequent but “shorter” posts. Less is more. I also heard your protests against large embedded QuickTime .mov videos. Fine. Flash-based YouTube, happy now? Gah, you’ve forced me to officially join the exhibitionist MeBored generation. Anyway, here is a short video of someone trying to get my über fat [...]

Swiss Chocolate Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting, Oh My!

Are you looking for porn: Nutella Virgin Perverts and The Name Game? My sister, an avid baker and Queen of Desserts recently made Swiss chocolate cupcakes frosted with Nutella and chocolate sprinkles. Divine indulgences, indeed! I don’t really have much of a sweet tooth or a big addiction for chocolate and would prefer to [...]

The Smiley Intervention and the T.S. Eliot Equation

My friend recently had asked me how she could insert emoticons into her comments to my blog posts the way that I had done so in my posts. I told her that WordPress already has built-in functionality to convert character smilies like “:)” into the graphical image counterparts to which she replied, “Ummm, then I’d [...]

And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going

OK, this post is simply just a placeholder for 3 YouTube video links to one of my all-time favourite songs, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” which was made famous by Jennifer Holliday in 1981. Her iconic performance in the role of overweight Effie Melody White in the hit Broadway musical Dreamgirls is [...]
