Flavour of the Month
I asked if anyone had told her it looked like fatty low-quality meat. She said she thought that was inappropriate. Being a good sport she still gave me some, it was delicious – Peach Melba.
The Monkey
Dosa
I’ve visited Dosa Plaza (way down Dominion Rd) a couple of times, it’s all vegetarian, pretty weird, cheap, and tasty. I haven’t tried any of the really weird ones yet – chop suey dosa, spring roll dosa – but the conventional ones, Masala Dosa and so on are good, and the mexican dosas taste… Well, right.
The menu is crazy, with a confusing array of dosai available in far too many variants. But it’s all pretty good for the (cheap) price.
Decor suffers a little, as they’re part of a chain, presumably all locations are the same. So it’s very lino floor, stark fluoro lighting, and samey-samey posters on the walls.
But still, I like it.
Obligatory Cute Cat Video
I think I may have just had a stroke while watching this. Most hilarious things-stuck-to-a-cat's-bum action OF ALL TIME.
OK Go’s Climax of Rube Goldbergian Genius
This is just too great.
Lantern Festival Fireworks
http://www.vimeo.com/9798524Just the last few seconds, fireworks on a small screen are tricky, so just listen to the crowd's swelling excitement to understand how great this was.
CHOPPAR!!!
The first few moments of flight of THE MIGHTY CHOPPAR, straight out of the box, and bloody good fun. Now I just have to fix the thing that makes it go forward and back.

Life at 600 FPS.
I'm not sure how useful it is given that the trade-off for the high frame rate is terrible resolution, but it's still fun.
