  1. water in canada (bar walkerton) is generally pretty good. definetly has something to do with coming out icy cold.
  2. i think if you spent a bit more on your printer in the first place you will probably find that printer ink is reasonably priced. (this isnt a jab btw, just a blanketing statement ) its the cheapo printers that really bite you in the ass when it comes to replacing ink. my housemate has a lexmark [total wank] printer that she bought for 70 dollars or so and she spends close to that everytime she goes to fill it up. i spent about 130 or so on my canon and the black ink goes for about 13 dollars (canadian that is) a pop. you can buy generic brands for a bit cheaper (i think around 10).
  3. im not sure that they have GHD in canada. but i know what it is having lived in australia. anything that gets really really hot and is ceramic will do the trick though. im sick of ironing my hair with our household iron
  4. i saw walk the line yesterday. i absolutley adore joaquin phoenix and johnny cash so it was my kind of movie. also saw RENT a few weeks ago. It was ok. nothing spectacular.
  5. bar local toronto bands, the last [international] band ive seen live was death cab. they played in a huge venue, reminiscent of a giant tin can which was a bit of a lenny letdown. the last time i saw them they played for a couple hundred of people. i also saw the morning after girls as per my friends advisory. they were awesome. if you are in australia you should check them out.
  6. has anyone spent time in seattle? if i remember correctly enderzero was from seattle but i dont know if he comes here much anymore im spending a few days in seattle. so far im loving it, but was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on where to go, what i should see etc. thanks
  7. i had about 4000 on my old computer. but it died and i lost everything. on the new one i have 794 songs
  8. Quote: Originally posted by bettyx: i saw canadian band death from above 1979 in melbourne on a trip home not too long back. they were very loud. (surprisingly so, for just two guys). good show, though. however the drummer was a bit bitchy, which wasn't cool. someone mistook him for an american & he wasn't happy. they are toronto locals. my room mate has interviewed them numerous times and says they are both pretty obnoxious
  9. ive seen some pretty outrageous stuff having lived in canada for the past few years. last year i lived on a toronto downtown street and our neighbours had an 10 foot inflatable nutcracker in their front lawn. the thing was up from november through to mid january. when i was back in nova scotia this past weekend i saw what was probably an 8 foot inflatable snow globe with a snowman and santaclause inside. the thing was blowing fake snow and everything. it was REALLY tacky.
  10. orange pekoe is pretty much the standard tea here. i enjoy earl grey, chai, genmai and darjeeling. my room mate has just bought a sickenly disgusting cinnamon hazlenut dessert tea which makes the whole place smell like cinnabon.
  11. a spa voucher is a good idea. but its always fun to go with someone else, so maybe sort something out with one of her friends or mum.
  12. "how much does a polar bear weigh?" "enough to break the ice. Hi I'm..." my friend actually had someone say this to her
  13. fulltime student for radio and television production. work in a skate/snowboard store on the side.
  14. in the space of 4 days apple sent me a box for my ipod, came to my door to pick it up, fiddled with it for 2 days and then dropped it off when they were done. the result - a brand spanking new ipod. im quite happy as my old one was beaten to shit. scratched all over and obviously as dead as a rock. annoying that i lost all my tunes though. incidently my computer died a few days after my ipod died so i lost my "back up" too.
  15. im the same way betty. except i have a really bad sore throat but the rest of me is quite functional.
  16. we used to use wireless in our place but had so many problems with our wireless cards/adapters we all just returned them and bought ethernet cords. most of the time we would be connected to the internet for about 30 minutes and then it would disconnect us and wouldnt reconnect unless we turned the router off and on.
  17. just saw dig! rock-umentary about the dandy warhols and brian jonestown massacre. its really good. and if you get the special edition there are 2 hours of deleted scenes.
  18. yeah im sure i went there as a kid. along with the big banana near coffs.
  19. i just recieved a birthday present in the mail from my parents - a yoshitomo nara book. its lovely
  20. ive gotten stickers off plastic surfaces with WD40. i dont know if id go at your new toys with WD40 though.
  21. i just read the ewan mcgregor one where they travel across the world on motorbikes "the long way round". good read. im also 200 pages in to stokers "dracula". thats for uni though. so hardly counts.
