Mmmmmm!

Have you ever taken a bite of something and it was sooooo good that you all of a sudden remembered what food was supposed to taste like? I'm eating a salad I made at home last night and the grape tomatoes are almost like a spiritual experience. Wait, I'm taking another bite... perfect!! Just one of those little moments that makes life worth living.

Qu'est-ce que le fuq?!!!

Things I wish I hadn't seen in order of sightings:

1. dog in hoodie
2. dog in puffy
3. gold lame (lam-eh) jacket in shop window, FOR A GUY
4. dog in anorak

Note to people who follow trends: there IS a reason we all laugh at MC Hammer

Hooray for Hookahs!!!

An exciting thing happened in the city of Vancouver on March 31, 2008. Hookah houses were made exempt from the new by-laws banning smoking in public places. The cafes won’t be closed down if they only serve nicotine-free herbs instead of flavoured tobacco, which means pot-free water pipe enthusiasts will still have a place to chill out, albeit for the price of $15/pipe.

While in favour of this exemption, I’m not sure how it will stick and so I continue to buy flavoured tobacco, both with and without nicotine (although one café owner did say there was no such thing as ‘nicotine free’ tobacco). It’s far cheaper to smoke in my apartment and I can serve food and other beverages if I so desire. At least I’ll continue to smoke in my apartment until the City decides it’s not in my best interest and bans that as well.
