Devotee of the Green Fairy


In the canton of Neuchâtel a historical and controversial beverage was created. It may have been one of the first bad boys of the spirit world. It has inspired artist in all mediums and was given to French troops as a malaria treatment. Which in turn made this remarkably liquid popular in the bars, bistros, cafés, and cabarets of France.

La fée verte has been deemed a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug in liquid form. It was band in many countries and is still consumed to this day in many others.

Think it is time to venture down to Absinthe and see if the actual product can live up to its historical myth.

What I do.

Ever wondered exactly what this girl does for a living. Well to try and put it into perspective here is a little bit of news from AT&T that this girl helped set up.

In a press release issued Tuesday, AT&T announced it is sponsoring free WiFi in Times Square to alleviate some of the traffic on its already-strained 3G network. As AT&T isvbehind in that regard. The WiFi "hotzone" is available free to AT&T customers with qualifying smartphone, 3G LaptopConnect, and AT&T High Speed Internet plans.

The service, installed at the north end of Times Square, won't reach too far, but it will help the crowds make phone calls, receive texts, email photos, and look up directions by taking a little bit of pressure off of the 3G network.

Now tomorrow I will do my part to help strengthen that 3G network, and that is what I do in a day.

Eli's Cheesecake Dippers

Have you ever come across a dessert that just sent your body a tingling with simple delight. That's what happened when the Goddess of frozen treats flashed me.

Eli's Cheesecake Dippers  The cheesecake is frozen, hand-dipped in rich bittersweet chocolate and served on a stick. Yeah, my jaw dropped too! This sweet thing does not currently ship to Canada, but I may need some testers as experimentation begins. The plan is to create the best all time summer treat.

shit happens so enjoy it.

"You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles."
The Princess Bride 1987


Life has a way of mucking up even the best laid plans. Many of us get mad as hell when this happens.  Oodles of us see the irony of it all and enjoy. Some of the best things in life can happen when things just do not go as planned. Such as missing the bus.

We have all done it, just 3 seconds to late and the bus driver takes off leaving us stranded and deserted. This is not as bad as it seems. If we forget to enjoy the now we will miss the beauty of a sunset over the river on the late buss. Now that truly would have been a loss.

We just need to enjoy or what is the point.

Local Arts and Craft show

This Saturday I supported my fav lovely ladies and their orgasms in a cup, aka Three Cheers Cupcakes. Sadly this was the second last time the delectable goodness will be available to the general public. All is not lost though, they my depart form the craft show business but my new found thrill of craft shows has been reborn.

Tarts n’ Crafts had a bounty of home grown goodness from handmade jewelry to homemade fudge. The variety in booths was just what the doctor ordered. As it is Mothers day on Sunday was not on the hunt for myself. Mores the pity. Finding a wonderful gift was top on the list and boy did I succeed. 

First found the cutest hand built classic companion mug for my mother who is an avid coffee drinker. The little smiley face will cheer up any morning sourpuss. The artist Wai-Yant Li is based in Montreal and makes every delightful creation by hand. Road trip is need to get myself a spiky mug!


Second find were some homemade chocolates that are simply heaven on a tongue. Created right here in Ottawa, Koko Chocolates are pure goodness in dark chocolate form. Sampled the Triple chocolate truffle and almost lost my mind to the sweet sensations that went coursing through my body. Mother should love them.

Next stop Ottawa Veg Fest  the final show for Three Cheers Cupcakes. Tear.

Best Beer Ever

Normally beer drinking is not one of my favorite pastimes. It makes my tummy full and the burping, do not get me started on the burping. With that said Stuart's Natural Session Ale is my new all time fav beer.

As their Scotch Irish Brewing web site states "This ale is the first and only all organic beer brewed in Eastern Ontario using all certified organic malts and hops. Stuart's is deep golden in colour, moderately hopped and has a clean finish. Do not think I have every enjoyed a beer as much as this one. Oh did I mention that the stubby bottles the sweet elixir come in are soooo cute.

Now excuse me as I try some Stuarts Natural Beer Pancakes?

Kobo E-Reader

Kobo is a Toronto based company the has been making ereader software for PC and smartphones. Now they also make some pretty nice hardware. At 120mm x 184mm x 10mm thick and only 221 grams. It is a great size to carry around. Built in 1GB memory for up to 1000 books and SD slot for expansion for when the 1000 books is just not enough.

The price point is marvelous at $149 and may be one of the cheapest in the market. This little device reads EPUB and PDF files from all sources. The PDF format did not work out at all that well. Though switching to landscape did work a bit. After some research found a nice little free program called Calibre and did batch converts from PDF to EPub with large txt. 20.0pt. Now dancing for joy.

The software that come with the reader only allows the syncing of purchased books from Kobo. Calibre will sync all files with ease. Also the good old dragging and dropping is as always a breeze.

All in all i love it.

A no frills ereader for a no frills girl.

Be a nice Person

We cannot escape the influence we have on others, nor can we escape the influence others have on us. John Donne

Be it good or bad we as humans are affected by all other people around us. This is why one must surround thy self with smart, beautiful, crazy people. The kind of people that will help you and who in turn you enjoy helping. 

Though nice strangers are always great. the kind that hold your coffee as you button your coat or pick up your bag and all its spewed contents. All in all nice people who have a common thread of dignity and chivalry. Yes women and be chivalrous as well.

Now excuse me I must crawl out of my cave and socialize.
