WatchA video from earlier this year taken during a party at our house in Guelph.
I wanted to make sure everyone got equal facetime with the camera. I’m pretty sure there was music playing but you just can’t hear it in the clip. Like always, it’s probably more entertaining if you were there.

I think FOR SURE someone was stealing my clothes when I lived in residence at school. So many of my favourite articles have been rarely worn and lost.

Back home with Rogers Wireless
Classes are over. I handed in my very last assignment today and it feels great knowing I’m going to do very well on that.
I decided to come back home today to study for exams. First thing I did at home was call Rogers to update my wireless plan to take advantage of a new, unadvertised value pack: $30 for unlimited text messaging, caller id, visual voicemail and 500mb of data. I traded my...

"I Am Sofa King Wee Todd Ed"
My cool older siblings got a kick out of me saying this when I was younger. Of course, you don’t have to be young to not get it. Click the link if you’re confused.

GREAT Vampire Weekend remix courtesy of Chromeo
Chromeo’s remix of Vampire Weekend’s The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance has been one of the most blogged-about tracks of the past week, and deservingly so.
I hereby declare it my new party anthem of December/08.
Check out the track below.
For another really great Vampire Weekend remix, check out The Teenagers’ remix of Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa. A link is available via my Hype...

Bon Iver, new & old
Bon Iver just announced that they’ll be releasing a new EP, entitled “Blood Bank”, on January 20 in Canada and the U.S. I was lucky enough to catch Bon Iver play two of the EP’s tracks this past summer in New York and I have to admit that I wasn’t immediately blown away. A friend of mine described the tracks as sounding very Coldplay-ish. Regretfully, I think...

WatchPretty nice weekend spent mostly at home. I’ll have to post something about it later but while I was home I found this old video and decided to upload it. It’s of me at work last summer at eMotion. That desk was only temporary, by the way; kind of annoying to be beside the fridge and coffee machine. So yes, enjoy.

I’m finally starting to feel better. The night before last I had a terrible sleep and was positive I had E coli. I was freezing cold and couldn’t sleep. My stomach was cramped and my neck was just as bad. I had a terrible headache and my throat felt like I was ready to throw up even though I knew I wasn’t actually going to. I was also foaming out of the mouth. Considering all...

WatchOK - so this is far from the kind of media I initially intended on posting to this site, but this short speech is unbelievable. It is in regards to California’s Proposition 8, which would “restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman.”
I really don’t see how anyone can argue in favor of Proposition 8 given the argument Olbermann lays out in this...

Smells like coney
Brothers Nelson and James Hawkins (pictured above) make their estebanwasEATEN.com debut with Coney, an ode to to a family friend who has a strange obsession with coney sauce.
Apparently coney sauce is a pretty popular hot dog condiment, though I still haven’t found anyone else who has even heard of it.
Anyway, check out their song Coney below if you’re in the mood for something a...

LIAR!!!
OK - no one lied, they just kind of forgot to tell us about one minor detail.
I am surprised that I only found this out a couple of days ago - Feist did not write her massively successful single “1234”.
The song was written by Melbourne, Australia native Sally Seltmann, who records under the name New Buffalo. Feist’s people did a great job of hiding this, and why...

Four UofG students get E. coli... →
“The University of Guelph has now learned from Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health that the four confirmed cases of E. coli 0157 are all U of G students. To date, the only commonality among the four students is that they ate at the Pita Pit in the University Centre, so as a precaution, the University is voluntarily closing the UC Pita Pit until Public Health completes its...

Showers
Don’t worry; though most of my essays are quite controversial, I won’t be going into showers vs. baths. In elementary school, someone on the school bus was accusing me of taking cold showers. I retorted saying I once took a shower so hot I collapsed when I got out of the shower. A small exaggeration, yes, but I do remember that one time.
I kill so much time in the shower. I have no...

Courted by Cadbury; The future of music as it...
After two years of fighting the Queen’s Commerce system with everything I had, I finally caved. I recently applied for an interview with Cadbury as a marketing intern, the equivalent of an associate brand manager. After a 45-minute on-campus interview, the candidate pool was narrowed down to only four of us. Last Wednesday, Cadbury brought us in to its Toronto headquarters to meet its...

Mike's thoughts on M.I.A's 'Paper Planes'
Yes, just like everyone else, I love this song. It still has the same resounding effect every time someone puts it on about 45 minutes into a playlist at a party.
While I think that anyone who uses their hands to imitate the gunshot and cash register sounds during the chorus looks like a total ass (see image above), I have a very important question.
Everyone knows what to do with the gunshot...

JERRY MAGUIRE
It is absolutely the most perfect afternoon to grab some Pizza Hut and throw on Jerry Maguire.
No matter how many times I’ve seen it, I will always come back to this movie at least once a year. It has EVERYTHING I look for in a film: comedy, a wicked/believable romance, a middle-aged guy trying to come to terms with his place in the world, and Tom Petty’s “Free...
