My Favourite DVDs of 2006

This is the last one I promise. Not having a TV hasn’t stopped me enjoying shows or movies on DVD, thanks to my iMac (20 “ screen!). Two purchases of 2006 that really stand out are Little Britain – The Complete Third Series and Life in the Undergrowth (hosted by David

My Top 10 Songs of 2006

Well, after listing my favourite albums of 2006 I thought I’d put up a list of my top 10 songs for 2006. Most of these can be found on the albums previously mentioned, but some can’t and it would be a shame to leave them out. Also, I’

4 More Months!

I just realized that today is the 19th which means that it will be 4 months until I move into the new condo. Joy! The time is really moving fast now and I have a pretty good feeling that the next few months will just fly by. Here's

Random Flushing

Lately, for the last week or so, my toilet has be flushing all by itself. The weird thing is, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it. There are no leaks, from what I can tell, and there is nothing obviously broken, it just…flushes. These are the

A few of my favourite music videos for 2006

With it being December and with the current year winding down, I thought I’d put up a list of a few of my favourite music videos. You’d think not having a TV would limit my exposure, and perhaps it has in a way, but thanks to the interweb

The court yard is open!

Finally! So a few weeks ago they finally removed the last part of the building that blocked the view of the couryard and, more importantly, the view of my loft. If you look at the full picture on flickr by clicking this image, you’ll see my loft is in

Opening up a pomegranate

It's pomegranate season and after having purchased quite a few at my local grocery store, I thought I’d share an easy method for opening these red bad boys up: 1. Cut off the flowery bit at the end so it’s flush with the rest of the

Upgrades!

So hey hey, the condo people called me (or more specifically, the design studio) to pick an appointment to choose my tiles, floor, upgrades, and such. Big step in my whole loft buying adventure. So, I went tow weeks ago and spent the whole morning fussing over tiles and counter

Two More Domains

So I did it, I now own horrell.biz and horrell.mobi. The Horrell empire expands even more! Yeah yeah, I got a .mobi TLD after all. Not sure if I’ll make it a separate mobile version of the site, so for now it just redirects to horrell.ca.
