~~Hey did you guys hear that Michael Jackson died?~~

While I’m quite done with the MJ post-death resurgence and all the tacky marketing that’s come along with it, I’m quite pleased with the He’s The King, I’m The DJ mixtape that came out in the last week or two. Unlike all the other MJ tribute mixtapes, this one was done by DJ Jazzy Jeff. Not surprizingly, this tape has a very chilled out/A Touch Of Jazz feel to it. Which is nice, like beans and rice.

Anyways, you can download the mixtape here.

Annnnnnnd now… let’s not discuss MJ for a couple of years.

I nearly forgot about snowboard season (aka the one thing that stops SAD from completely taking over during the winter months).

Lottery News: Multi-lotto winner prevails in prize dispute

Lottery News: Multi-lotto winner prevails in prize dispute:

Wait?! What?! There’s a guy who’s already won the lottery four times in the past five years (totaling over $1M in winnings) and now he’s complaining that the Western Canada Lottery Corp has been slow to pay out his latest win of $17 million?!

1. STFU!

2. GTFO!

3. Stop playing the lottery. You’re ruining it for the others (namely: me)

4. It’s pretty rich (see what I did there?) to state that you’re going to sue the WCLC for “torture” associated with a slow payout of your 5th lottery win.

Michael Jackson’s Ghost is on TV right now.

It’s apparently a short movie from the mid-90’s.

Surprize, surprize it’s totally weird!

I was going to write up a post that details all the nuttiness, but instead I’ll just refer you to the wikipedia entry.

Fun fact: a young Mos Def was cast in the movie!

24 Season 8 Trailer #2 - Run This Town

Normally I jump up and down with glee when details of a new season of 24 surface. Not so much this time. Not sure why, might be the Rihanna soundtrack, or because there’s so much good/better TV these days.

Ah, who am I kidding? I’ll watch the whole season and scream at the TV the entire time.

The Vancouver Sun: New city liquor bylaw to limit sale of fine wines in Vancouver restaurants

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:46:37 -0700

The Vancouver Sun: New city liquor bylaw to limit sale of fine wines in Vancouver restaurants:

Imagine this: Out for a meal in a Vancouver restaurant, you spend $30 to $40 on entrees. But when you order a $45 bottle of B.C. wine, your waiter says: “Sorry, this is Vancouver; you’ll have to buy something cheaper.”

That’s exactly what could happen after Jan. 1, when the city’s new liquor licensing bylaw comes into effect.

An obscure subsection of the bylaw casts a regulatory net — intended to nab restaurants that are all bar and no food — that snares just about every other restaurant with a wine list aspiring to offer more than bulk wines. Under the bylaw, approved by city council Oct. 8 and coming into effect Jan. 1, the food portion of all restaurant receipts must account for at least 50 per cent of all revenues over any eight-hour period.

The city is imposing an annual $3-a-seat tax on all city restaurants, raising money to hire food police who will make sure restaurants comply.

Soooooooo brutal. And really short sighted.

The slightly silver lining part about this is that it appears the law may be re-written to something more realistic/not bad for the business and customer.
