movies that don't suck. good music (does not include music you think is good, unless i also think it is good). stand up comedy. writing scripts shorts opinions articles, whatever. mmmm, i like beer and weed too...and, uh, i dunno...oh yea...manchu wok...that shit's gold...(ed.note: manchu wok at both scarbourough town cente and markville mall is delicious. however, yorkdale's franchise is bland and dry. i recommend bourbon st. chicken.)
