Cell phone picture, so it kinda sucks, but it sorta works.

Small mom and pop place on University Ave called Reggae Shack. Can't believe I've missed this place for years. The picture you see is Curry Goat w/ rice, peas, and cabbage. It had plantains too, but I ate those already.

Good stuff, check it out.

The Dark Knight

vradin@gmail.com — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 12:23:39 GMT

Great movie. I won't post any spoilers for those of you who haven't seen it. but the Joker was absolutely psychotic. I loved it. Gary Oldman as always did a great job.

Fun Fun!

vradin@gmail.com — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:28:25 GMT

Mutant Chronicles

vradin@gmail.com — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:13:14 GMT

Mutant Chronicles... Not as good as I was hoping for.

If you're into the mutant/zombie/apocalypse stuff then you should check it out, it's a decent story.

V

updates! maybe...

vradin@gmail.com — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:32:10 GMT

Think I might try using this thing a bit more often. Who knows, I'll probably end up neglecting it as always. Stay tuned...

Gratitude

vradin@gmail.com — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 20:00:06 GMT

I'm not very articulate, but this has been on my mind for awhile, so I thought i'd write it down.

On Veteran's Day this year I watched a live broadcast on C-SPAN2 with five surviving members of WWII's Easy Company from the 101st Airborne, you know, the company that the series Band of Brothers was made about. During the broadcast they would show small clips from the series then ask the veterans to talk about their experience during that part of the war. The broadcast was extremely interesting and I enjoyed listening to their experiences immensely.

Since then i've been on sort of a WWII kick, i've watched a lot of WWII movies, played video games based on that era, read articles from newspapers and magazines, and looked up info on the web about it. I'm in awe of the sacrifice given by these men and women who fought an evil that we can only wonder about. I can't fathom what it would be like to live during the second World War, let alone serve in it, lose your friends to it, or even die for the cause.

Sometimes I don't think we appreciate enough what the service men and women have given for our country. So, do me a favor...no, do it for yourself, next time you meet a veteran or if you know one already, stop and say thanks. I'm sure they will appreciate it.

Alright, that's enough. Later.

Since Everyone else is.

Back from D*Con!

vradin@gmail.com — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 12:35:08 GMT

OMG! DragonCon was so awesome. I forgot my camera but my friends got plenty of pictures that i'll swipe from them later. I got to spend four days with my friends, seeing celebrities, looking at costumes, chatting with interesting people, and oogling hawt goth girls. All in all it was an amazing weekend and much fun was had by all. I even made a new friend, nonwo.

Some sort of list.

vradin@gmail.com — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 02:01:28 GMT

Posted this because thedooz said I had to.

- Post a list of 10 books/movies/TV shows that you've had a fannish love of at some time in your life.
-- Have your friends guess your favorite character from each one.
-- You can cross out the show/movie/book and put the character when someone guesses.
I also branched out to include "groups" instead of just specific titles

1) Star Wars (movies):
2) Star Wars (books):
2) Star Trek:
3) Lord of the Rings (books):
4) Sword of Truth Series: Gratch, guessed correctly by technopaladin
5) Shannara books (any of them):
6) Video Game:
7) Forgotten Realms:
8) South Park:
9) Stargate:
10) Homestar Runner: Strongbad, guessed correctly by thedooz

Fun with Friends.

vradin@gmail.com — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 12:49:45 GMT

So had dinner last night with technopaladin, thedooz, spiritbine, cyberpunkfuture, teribeth, dakh, and many others in celebration of mine and laura_dolphin's birthday. It was good stuff and fun for all, especially once Techno started telling us storys from his college years.

Look forward to doing it again.

Proud.

vradin@gmail.com — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 16:47:42 GMT

Ok. I'm proud of my little bro, so i'm going to share this with you all.

Falling Ashes

Let the page load and listen to the first song that starts playing. Garrett just composed it last night. I like it. He also has two more in the list that he composed.

I'm sitting at work, the phones aren't ringing, nothing to read, WoW is boring, etc etc etc. I need something to do!

Clerks 2.

vradin@gmail.com — Sun, 30 Jul 2006 12:08:19 GMT

Went to see it with thedooz and Technop, then had some dinner at Outback afterwards. Clerks was fekkin hilarious, i'd recommend anyone go see it if you aren't easily offended.

Good movie, tasty eats, was a good evening.

btw, i'm posting this in an effort to post more on this LJ and whatnot, who knows if it will take.

The Stinky Cheese Saga.

vradin@gmail.com — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 16:37:28 GMT

Courtesy of...uncledrax

... and lo did the son of a man go forth and eateth the cheese of forgein lands for he thought them good.. and so did the cheese taketh vengance upon the man, for his bowels did churn and fill, and he became unable to stool with ease.
... and the people fled with fear upon thier eyes.. for they knew what what be bestowed upon them next as the wrath of the cheese grew, the man would go forth and flatuate upon the masses, causing them great plague and so the people did banish the man for these works and forever he was known simply as 'the man that ate the cheese and farted who we exiled.
End verse.
