Spent 2 days snowed into Dogtown. Had a lovely time... now back to reality.

I just unlocked the "Fresh Brew" badge on @foursquare! Coffeecoffeecoffeecoffee. http://t.co/t3KTLAIm
-
Life is hard. Be harder.
-
First snow in 10 years for my old eyes...
-
Coughing turns to manly tears as I realise my life is utter shite
-
Ugh my bed smells like vagina.
-
With my beard, short hair, and slimming jumper... I look like a Gary Oldman villain.
-
Way to go, you ruined the first snow.
-
I really feel like vomiting. I ran hard enough to give myself a heart attack, but apparently I can't even do that right.
-
Doing shots with someone over skype is difficult. You have someone to do shots with... but then they leave and you're drunk and alone.
-
Yeah, I'm lying in bed drinking scotch and watching #newgirl. What of it?!
-
Yeah I kind of made this WHOLE thing uncomfortable. I do that. Kinda my thing.
-
The cat just came in through my window. Must have gone out through another one. This is... not good.

Ok, this tweet was about something else. But a double edged sword? Most swords have two edges.
-
Dear other countries: You're nice too. It's not you, it's me.
-
Dear Scotland and Cuba: Egypt's cotton is nice because of the scotch and cigars I enjoyed beforehand. Same goes to you.
-
Dear Egypt: Your cotton is really nice, please send more.
-
Now I'm making some freakin shepherd's pie. For my housemate. Because I'm the freakin bomb.
-
Hey television! I'm probably going to be operating you again. And not in the nice way.
-
Hey television, tomorrow's visit to Eastlink Master Control may have me working deep on your insides again, running your stuff. Have fun!
-
And as my housemates come home I offer then scotch while wearing my slightly Wesley Crusher jumper. This is my life.
-
I had a heart attack this year. Shit I'm old!
-
Does blowing your own mind count as masturbation?
-
Occasionally I may compliment you just to make you blush. It's kind of my thing. Makes my mattress seem normal. #ladies
-
@Starlsy Once again, excellent rep!
-
I sleep on a single foam mattress and really enjoy leaving the window open. #ladies
-
@Starlsy I'm glad they've elected a suitable spokesperson :)
-
In life there are no mistakes. Simply choices you didn't know you needed to make.
-
Hey twitter! How you doin?
-
About to hyperventilate myself into a fucking coma.

Midnight snack ended in fire alarm madness. Oops!!! Drunken midnight snack I mean.. And I mean 3am.

"Dating is a process of elimination." Yeah, so is mass murder

-
@cass_power I don't get how you need Twitter to watch Media Watch?
-
Hey @cass_power, welcome to the internet :P
-
@Haliastales So far twitter has been less than helpful, hahaha
-
I don't play games. This is tiring. Life is only so short...
-
Hey Twitter, I'm looking for a student at University of Texas that I met in the San Jose airport, she's from Venezuela. Pass it on!

-
Kind of sucks that sometimes I get my feelings from other people... Everybody is all boring and grumpy today
-
Of all the days to need a pc, this is definitely one of them. Curses.
-
I love how I can put a video on Facebook and then hear it echo through the house as other people click on it... we all have no lives.
-
She doesn't live in the Bahamas, and she has good taste in everything you enjoy. Annddddd..... GO!
-
It really says something about you when Youporn comes up first on your autocomplete bar instead of Youtube.
-
I need an umbrella.
-
Ok Starbucks, why did it change to Spanish mambo. Still, don't mind. Just try to stay on track...
-
Starbucks, your smooth jazz is making the rain outside depressing. Good job :) peaceful though.
-
I am totally an Android developer now.
-
I'm at Starbucks Coffee (1646 Barrington St, Sackville St, Halifax) http://t.co/6UcEmEYC
-
@Renizzle12 I have a foam mattress now, and no, nobody goes near my mattress!
-
@Renizzle12 I'm connecting the dots and stuff. But yeah, a little far eh
-
@DeanHughes8 I think it was tonight! Next week definitely I'll drag some people out.
-
@Renizzle12 Of course! That makes sense. I was repelling her from Australia! This is all starting to make sense. I repel people! Lol
-
@Renizzle12 Haha, yeah. She didn't think to go there when I was there, eh? Fool.
-
@Renizzle12 Bitches be crazy!
-
Ceasing communication randomly and without warning is not rejection. That's some ungodly level of hellish torture.
-
@art_of_eating Ooh, thanks! Fixed it!
-
The human race, like any other, needs its fools. How was I to know I was one of them?
-
Song's done. Nailed it. It may be a little long though. like, epic long. I can't remember this well enough to sing.
-
Writing a song for my awesome folk rock band about that girl who kind of blocked me on facebook. And other stuff too!
-
That awkward moment when you go to look for someone on Facebook that you had an awkward night with ages ago and find they 'don't exist'
-
Why do I have to have other talents in life. Why can't I just get by playing an electric mandolin. I should busk.

-
@Haliastales @deanhughes8 I know! What is the hold up?!
-
I wonder how many of my Communication Technology, Film History, and Professional Journalism Writing credits can be transferred to Medicine.
-
@alisonbrie Can't beat Flesh Gordon. I still haven't seen the real movie. Don't need to.
-
Lot of spam on Twitter at 4am... cool! I should be looking for jobs, but I really must finish my empire in Age of Empires 2.
-
My air mattress is nearly letting me touch the floor, but I don't have the energy right now to blow it up. No pump, have to do it myself!
-
Just think. Soon none of my updates will be about a staph infection! Yikes!
-
Do I dare look under the bandage? Feeling the best it has in ages, and it's itchy which means it is healing. I'll give it the night off.
-
Work now, clean my wound, then a bit of a jam with friends. Wish it were of the gaping axe variety... That would be hilarious
-
So its bad if the red goes outside of the dotted line, right? I learned this in school... Like, primary school.
-
@Renizzle12 A weird little infection thing. They dunno what caused it, but it practically showed up overnight... Very strange
-
@Haliastales Yeah I'm alright, apparently it wasn't anything unusual, they just numbed it and sliced away. I got to watch!
-
Went for a drunk run. Came back after 5 blocks. Didn't even get to the pub... Damn.
-
RIP my LiveJournal account. I killed you well.
-
Must finish this vodka. So damn close.
-
Gin run on the way home. I finally have half my man cave set up!
-
The human race is such a young species... We have so much further to evolve. Much more to accomplish or destroy. Will we always be children?
-
Hey Halifax, what's up? Lets spend the day together tomorrow :)
-
Made the shuttle to the hostel with seconds to spare. It included running and a bit of awkward conversation. It was the best.
-
My electric mandolin arrived on monday... I won't be able to play with it until tomorrow night, or jam for at least a week #thedanger
-
I have so much to prove, just itching to get home.
-
Back to reality. And this time I'm keen.
-
@maggington It took be about a full week of learning code to figure out how to make that. It was a year ago, so now I forget again...
-
@bethy_boodle Sounds entirely useful! Cheers :P
-
About to board. Operation #cubaradiosilence may well be about to begin! See you on the other side.
-
@Cidaemon Oh yeah, I'm fine :) I'm just in the airport and I realized that coffee was putting me to sleep. Annoying!
-
The results of my very scientific survey are in: Starving yourself keeps you awake better than coffee! Horray!
-
@TravelingEditor http://t.co/5gNP6qD Looks like I'm getting what I wanted... Sort of?
-
Control yourself bitch, take only what you is needing from me!
-
So unless you are fully hydrated you will be tired from drinking it if you have low blood pressure.
-
I've done the research: Coffee constricts the veins (curing headaches) but also dehydrates-
-
It was huge. People missed flights. And while Lennon was in the airport that day, he obviously went from private jet to private car.
-
I think Toronto airport has changed from when my dad worked here. He once paged John Lennon and Yoko to see how much of a crowd he could get
-
Sitting in the Toronto airport eating creampuffs. From a buffet. Yes, that means I can have as many as they will give me. Which is a few.
-
@wilw I feel you inside us.
-
She's alive! Any traveller tips on getting money in Cuba?
-
Since when can't a consulate tell you if they've seen your missing friend. What else do they have to do? Bet you she's just drunk somewhere
-
Back on the road tomorrow morning. I should pack. After this I'll be grounded for nearly a year I fear...
-
I accidentally went for a walk wearing a wool jacket with the collar flipped up. The cops gave me a dirty look. #smalltownissues
-
I'm going to seem like a lunatic now, but I tracked down the hostel she's booked into... if she turns out to be fine it'll be a great story?
-
@mariekehardy better or worse than jello shot legs?
-
http://t.co/s6I2i6j New blog post: A Month of Sitting Still. I'm glad I didn't mention how much of a drunk I am? Oops.
-
Yeah, that second page on the front is busted... Apparently I have to have enough posts to always fill every page. Awesome.
-
http://t.co/IcecKdG is nearly complete. I took the shield of invisibility down, all it needs now are a few touches. Just a blog for now
-
Reviving The Brass Wire as I must admit I have been paying for an unlaunched blog for the better part of two years...
-
Have moved the in-progress blog to Jimdo for now. Testing out publishing options.
-
My friend is stuck in Cuba with no money thanks to Bendigo Bank. Is the bank down? Can't even load their site.
-
Is anyone else finding that Bendigo Bank has died in the arse today?
-
@bendigobank Oi, what's going on?
-
This Squarespace blog will be temporary I believe. While the interface is entirely brilliant and intuitive, I will move to The Brass Wire.
-
http://t.co/4ejSzUa The blog is under construction, but a couple panoramas from Colombia are up!
-
Today is my quiet day in. Working on photos from Colombia, haven't uploaded anything in a while. Too long, really. Panoramas to the new blog
-
I think today is my day of rest. Also, it is sunday. Also I have no money.
-
Sitting in my dad's driveway on my laptop, a kid skateboards by that I met last night. We talk. #smalltownsrock
-
Last night house party, tonight pool party. Tomorrow... world party? Maybe beach party.
-
Had a brilliant night last night, ended up watching the sunrise drinking carrot wine. Might play some fiddle today?
-
Just as much as I love it when a plan comes together, I hate it when one falls apart an hour beforehand. Looks like a night in now?
-
Trying to find somewhere to stay outside of Havana where I can still get back in for a 9am flight the next morning.
-
My little toy twitter bot @hey_kool_aid is still going strong at nearly 500 tweets. Give him a Hey Kool-Aid! and share the love!
-
My little toy Twitter account @hey_kool_aid is still running strong! Give him a good old HEY KOOL AID! loving!!
-
Layout issues will be the death of me. Oh right, meant to be calling about that package. ADD will be the death of me.
-
@TravelingEditor I always need pints!
-
Time to call @dhlexpress and find out why they're trying to abandon a package I sent from Bolivia that they've trapped in customs.
-
@TravelingEditor Well you folks did inspire me to finish off my travel blog that I started, make sense of the mess...
-
Ok, so I must have bronchitis or something. Horrible cough came on strong. After sleeping outside and swimming in 8 degree water... hmm.
-
I am so hungry right now. Why? I have no idea.

@ManMadeMoon Call me slow (some do) but I've only just watched Source Code. Absolutely brilliant sir. And entirely possible. Congrats :)
-
@andersoncooper Tyrona Park, relaxing on a white sand beach? Oops, too soon...
-
@virginmobilecan Love it. I'll be with you folks in under a week. Prepare the streamers!
-
@virginmobilecan Can I transfer a number from another network?
-
Dear Las Vegas: You have redeemed yourself. You were a blast, and no matter how much money I lost you made up for it.
-
So then I won ANOTHER dance-off against some british guy. I fell over on a drink, but I stayed classy and nailed it by breakdancing up.
-
My dear friend @haliastales and I just won a dance-off in Las Vegas. The crowd split and we knew what to do.
-
Ok, so the dryers here suck. One shirt and a pair of pants should be done after 45 minutes. They are still wet. Might try and iron them dry?
-
Dear people in the hostel who speak French or Spanish. Yeah, I speak those too. You don't have a secret language...
-
@samboriffic Ah cool, cheers! It sounded like an apocalypse this morning, but I felt nothing?
-
Ok, so I thought I had vomited on myself, but now I'm seeing there was more on my back? Laundry is a mystery!!
-
What the hell, is there something going on in San Francisco? Sounds like a war outside. Earthquake? Sirens everywhere...
-
@macleanbrendan The term for that is "Twat in the Hat"
-
I used to be a good man. Now I'm a human being.
-
It feels like there are barnacles growing on my throat... ow.
-
Ok B, go to sleep. Promised someone pancakes in the morning. Is YouTube really worth it? Adele covers? Really?
-
I feel like a ghost... With a tan. Tanned ghost.
-
Drunken-ness is caused by chugging G&T like it is water. Classy, and then not.
-
Which is what I did last night.
-
Fact: When drinking large quantities of alcohol the liver diverts it through the brain to allow more time to metabolize, causing blackouts.
-
Tequila, what the fuck is wrong with you man? Also, I wonder how bad my hearing was last night. She could have asked for Shmashmila?
-
Going clubbing in San Francisco tonight. If ever there was a place to wear my tiny space-suit... Nope.
-
Waiting for a 5 image pano to render out. It's only 5 IMAGES! BUT I WILL DIE BEFORE IT IS DONE!
-
@rstudios Crazy, I'm in Vegas on Wednesday, in San Fran right now!
-
For a BSG fan, this photo is the greatest ever. http://t.co/Ac5LTEB
-
Trying to decide whether or not a walk down the Vegas strip in my Smithsonian space suit would be fun or not. I have a few days to decide...
-
@Close_watcher Nono, you see, sometimes girls that look like Minnie Driver AND Minnie Driver herself look fantastic. Just not these ones...
-
Europeans such at Facebook...
-
@TomCBallard I know a few guys who have been inside Prime Possum. It wouldn't be hard, but they'd put up a struggle...
-
Number of girls at this hostel who look like Minnie Driver: 4. Number of them who are attractive: 0. Oh well!
-
Austrian girl told me last night that the only thing people know them for is Hitler. Amazing!
-
http://t.co/OXka35q We bought a 12 year old's space suit from the Smithsonian. I wore it out clubbing.
-
@Starlsy You're welcome.
-
@Starlsy I'm in Washington DC right now for a week, meeting some Australians I used to work with. Had a 'ranch blt' and maccas for you.
-
@Starlsy Exactly. So maybe when I'm done my trip I sit down and write it all out. Not as fun as filming, but I've got photos of a bit of it
-
@Starlsy Far too much! And how can I just pull out a camera and start filming... I got ambushed by cops last night, couldn't film that!
-
@Starlsy I've had some really crazy adventures, and I haven't filmed any of it really, so I'll maybe write it all up
-
Documentary project should really just be declared dead in the water. Lucky I wasn't when our boat broke and we had to steer!
-
@DeltaAssist Confirmation number in the email is GQA6AI, I'm on the second flight of the itinerary right now.

If you travel for 5 months you will become jaded. Guaranteed.
-
I didn't just fall asleep on the couch...
-
There is an unsettling feeling I associate with home shopping programs. Somewhere someone is sitting through that... used to be me.
-
Agh, horribly cold outside. Waking me up though... in Montreal awaiting airport shuttle. Should be in 10. I might die in 5
-
What in the... circle of hell... Outback Steakhouse seems to think that Australians love artichokes.
-
Ok... 6am in a hotel in Montreal. The guy next door is blasting some weird music. Queen. Eminem. Cee Lo Green... It could be the radio.

Complimentary breakfast. Wood floors. Giant bathroom. Giant bottle of duty free vodka. Holiday Inn Express. #hiexpress

@htc Moved to Canada from Australia, and brought my model 8181 HTC Desire with me. I love it, but it isn't going to work here... Swap?11 months ago from web | Reply, Retweet, Favorite
-
Sooo... when tired and fumbling for a tip for the shuttle driver, don't just give up and not tip. They seem to not like that.
-
@Celestream I'm well prepared to be mistaken for British... Not keen, but it'll do
-
Boarding time, time for us to fly out to the places we will be from...#semisonic #feelingstrangelynauseous
-
Hmm, my eye is twitching so I'll have to sleep on this flight. Yay!
-
While I sit here in the airport, I'm trying to decide if I should just go back to my Canadian accent or try and keep my Aussie hybrid...
-
Everything here is so much cheaper. And also my money is worth more! But the money is a funny colour...
-
@SammyHuntington The one that rocked it softly? That was me.
-
@nickjfrost Tastes like piss...
-
Weird... I didn't leave Australia until noon on the 22nd. That's still a few hours away. #internationaltravelmindfuck
-
Shit, better brush up on my conversational French. Flying over to Montreal in about an hour...
