In 1989, Zero Wing was a popular side-scrolling shooter in Japan. After its success, the game was ported to the European Sega Mega Drive in 1991. It wasn’t a famous game by any means, but the translation was so poor that it resurfaced in the late 2000′s as one of the most popular Internet meme’s ever: All your base are belong to us.
In terms of relevancy to #CVCollective, there isn’t any. I just thought it sounded cool.
The Courvoisier Collective is an art competition that I previously profiled on my blog, where artists from all backgrounds were invited to take part in a city wide search for your best art. Over 150 submissions rang in, included artists of photography, painters, mixed media, even wood carvers – all of which displayed a tremendous amount of talent and creativity.
Last week I was invited to the gallery showing for the top winners. I took a few snaps of my favourite pieces, all of which had their artists nearby to talk about the work and had it on sale. We also had some out-of-this-world snacks (especially the watermelon sorbet cones and marshmallow brownies), and a selection of delicious cocktails (did I just type delicious cock? Gross. Oddly enough, #deliciouscock deserves its own hash tag for reasons unsaid).
On a separate note, I did get to meet Kimberly Lillywhite, creator of one of the winning pieces, Through the Wall. Super sweet girl with a brilliant perspective of social norms and self discovery. You can see her site here.
Man oh man. If I could only remember half of what I did in high school, I’d be writing books right now.
In an effort to unearth past gems and shed light on things that’ve been well buried in the back of my skeletal closet, I’ve decided my next story for the Book of Ramone will [...]
Well, lookie here. We’re almost mid month and I still haven’t sent my thank you’s.
Right now it’s 3:13am and I’m writing this on my iPhone in the dark. I can’t sleep because my mind lately has been on 24/7 grind mode. This past two months have been the pinnacle of busy, which I confess to [...]
Not really hiding anything with this post title, eh?
For the record, I’m horrible at reconstructing sex stories. I think women have a much more vivid imagination for this. One of my sex-crazed felines, who has a ridiculously hot sexcapade blog, told me that it really takes a lot of out of you to write [...]
Before I start, I’d like to preface that everything I’m about to write is purely observational. This is based completely on pop culture and popular western media: the big screen and the big budget TV shows. The only spoilers will be ones that have nothing to do with the story line. I’m most likely missing [...]
This is a five part series on the Philippines, posted daily at 9am from now until Monday. Be sure to stop by daily to get your fix. Enjoy!
It’s been over a year that I’ve been planning on writing something about my life changing trip to the Philippines. Figure now is the best time to. I [...]
Guess it’s time to close my chapter off on Amsterdam. Lord knows I’m already two blog posts overboard.
Ever read anything by Douglas Coupland? One of my favourite authors. I just finished jPod while I was midway through my trip (which sucks because finding used books in English is a rather daunting task while traveling abroad) [...]
