will pretty much do anything for a cà phê sữa
Having scored Vietnamese coffee filters at Tap Phong (360 Spadina), I set about making coffee in the most roundabout way.
First, fire up the Kelly Kettle. I got this joy of thermodynamic efficiency at the Sally Anne unused for $5. I’m feeding it shredded receipts and cardboard.
Whoa! Flareup!
It gets pretty hot in there. This is the first time I used it without singeing hair.
Mmm, cà phê sữa nóng … -
Canadian Comedy Central
I don’t know why people keep banging on about how funny Comedy Central is, because whenever they embed a video, this is what I get:
Am I missing something? Is it the new, newer universal punchline? Something like:1: My dog’s got no nose.
2: How does he smell?
1: In Canada, Comedy Central Videos are available on The Comedy Network.
or
Q: What’s yellow and deadly?
A: In Canada, Comedy Central Videos are available on The Comedy Network.

No-drill tremolo arm options for an American Standard Fender Telecaster
I’ve got a hankering for some surf twang from my Tele. As it’s quite a nice guitar, I’d prefer not to drill it. After not much luck asking on tdpri.com, I had to do some digging myself.
There are a bunch of options for Vintage-style telecaster bridges. Those are the ones with the familiar “ashtray” bridge, three saddles for a bridge and four screws securing them to the body. One of these is the Vibramate; their V5-TEAS for the Standard is coming out later in the year.
But the Standard bridge is different; it has six blocks, three screws, and is a different length from the Vintage bridge:
Options for these are fewer:- The ZZGuitarworks Bigsby EZ-Mount System W/B3R Bridge looks promising. (The B3R is for right-handed Standards; B3L for lefty Standards. Similarly, B4R is for Vintage 4-screw ashtrays.)
- The Stetsbar fits both Standard and Vintage. It does require neck shimming, though.

Somewhere between Fallowfield and Smith’s Falls
This is what quite a lot of the train journey between Ottawa and Toronto looks like:

In a moment of boredom while visiting the US, I must’ve signed up for Google Voice. I’m not entirely sure what my number is, and I can’t access the account inside Canada. I haven’t given the number to anyone, yet I’m getting these voicemails. What can it mean? As a wise person once said, “Lamb oxen, but alright with equating later.”
