Posted on November 30th, 2012 – 1 CommentTechnically not the very first flakes, but definitely the first that decided to hang around for more than a few minutes. Enough, at least, for me to dust off the ole camera.
The thousand word blog
Posted on November 24th, 2011 – Comments Off on The thousand word blogWell howdy, dear reader! Been a while, eh?
Thing is, I’ve not had much time to keep up TCL. Between my full time job, my nerd blog, my blurby pundit blog, my billion-dollar software project, an ever-hungry cat, and a girlfriend who’s Multiple Sclerosis tends to keep me busy, it’s kinda tough to write those long diatribes I used to dedicate untold hours to. Shame, cuz current stuff like Occupy Toronto is right up my alley.
But shit, I still loves me this city, I still have a camera, the internet connection’s still humming, and for some reason you keep coming back here.
So here’s the plan for the foreseeable future: at least a picture a day (it’s how TCL got its start and it seems reasonable), whatever comes off the Flickr feed, and if I happen to be inspired enough to spend the five minutes of the free time I have every day, perhaps I’ll work in some text. But that’s a definite maybe.
TCL is going back to basics — no more contributors, no more complicated topics, a simpler design; just Life in the City of Toronto in a thousand visual words (or less).
Leaving the hovel

Staring at the wall
Posted on December 18th, 2010 – 2 CommentsGetting my pre-holidays sickness out of the way (surprised if I wasn’t snotting up right now, to be honest), and not really into “Four Eyed Monsters” at the moment.
Let’s get Chet

It was just sleepy time all over the city today.
There was a brief, bright flash of sun during which I ventured out to eat lunch — I’ve decided Sushi Queen is my sushi joint of choice along the Queen strip, despite incessantly playing Rogers and Hammerstein show tunes over the meal. Fresh sushi / sashimi, good tempura, and a teriyaki that actually tastes and smells good. Surprisingly rare, that last one.
Then it clouded over again in the afternoon, and everything goes kinda hazy again after that.
I believe Sarah Thomson threw in the towel and is now joining forces with George Smitherman in the upcoming election. And maybe it’s a fuzzy recollection but I thought I remembered the Star starting up a new series called “The Smell Test” where they dissect election promises for feasibility. Will the Star-backed champion win, I wonder?
But it may just be fuzzy dream also. Just that kind of a day, you know?
Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Chet Baker on vocals and horn, and Patrick on the shutter:
