Old Navy Summer ‘08

May 27, 2008 Rye 3 comments

Looks like I’m gonna do some damage at Old Navy next month. Someone (thanks so much!) told me about their summer collection and these are some of the pieces I’m going to end up getting. I’m loving the cassette tape tee, the slim vest, the skinny tie, straight leg skinny jean, and the patchwork polo.

From across the pond…

(You know that I haven’t posted in a while when I actually do post, and I bombard you all with three in a row!)

I’ve been looking for new music to listen to for the last couple of months, and I’ve come across three very different artists with one thing in common: they’re all from the UK!


Duffy – Mercy
[click here to watch her other video, Warwick Avenue]


The Ting Tings – Great DJ
[click here to watch their other video, That's Not My Name]


Sam Sparro – Black & Gold

Those are pretty much the three albums I’ve been listening to in the last couple of weeks, plus Madonna’s Hard Candy. Enjoy!

Ryan and the (Lindt) Chocolate Factory

Yes, that’s 1500g of Lindt chocolates for only $15!

My mom and I were running errands after work today, and we ended up going to the Lindt Chocolate Factory at the end. It opened across the street from where she works last year. I tell ya, it’s been making money off of us ever since! That’s a lot of chocolate, but the bunny and the chocolate mousse bags are going to my mom. I already gave one of the white chocolate/almond/nougat bars to Sam. I’m keeping one for myself, and the third one’s going to Pierre. All of that would’ve normally cost at least $75 if you were to buy them somewhere else.

I just realized that with that thumbnail, the bunny and the bars look tiny. Let’s just say that those chocolate bars are 1/5th of the width of my desk… and that’s their biggest (400g) bunny!

HTC Touch Diamond

May 22, 2008 Rye Leave a comment

I just purchased the new Moto Q 9h from Fido a couple months back, but HTC just announced this phone a couple of weeks ago:

Now, a couple of my cousins have the HTC Touch (from Bell), but I think the HTC Touch Diamond just blows it out the water. That is one sexy phone! I just love how it’s faceted at the back… and the new TouchFLO 3D interface is quite awesome too. I can’t wait until it’s officially released so I can see it in person… *drool*

Banned Gamertag

May 15, 2008 Rye 2 comments

There’s an article moving around the Internet today about a banned Xbox Live gamertag of a gay gamer. His gamertag is theGAYERgamer, and other gamers have been complaining about his gamertag, so he got a notice from Xbox Live telling him to change his name.

Now, I’m gay, I’m a big gamer, and I’m a part of that Xbox Live community. While he’s complaining about how most folks are not tolerant about other people’s sexuality and stuff, I will be the devil’s advocate…

Couldn’t he have picked another gamertag? I’m proud of my sexuality and all, but you wanna know what my gamertag is? It’s DracoRed.

Yes, you can be proud of who you are, but there’s a difference between being proud and flat out flaunting, right?
