Hocus Pocus

Anyone have any ways of getting regular exercise in Toronto, through the winter? Apparently it's going to solve all the problems of my life, according to my doctor.

EDIT: I might start going to Toronto BJJ since it's so close to my house. However paying $900 a year when I have free gym membership at UofT seems steep. Hmmm.

in athletic shoes, i'm pretty much a US10 across the board. US9.5 in chuck taylors being a notable exception.

will this typically make me a 42 or 43 in designer shoes/sneakers?

Depends on how you like your shoes to fit. Personally I wear a 9.5 in chucks and a 43 in CPs (which as you know is the same sole as Lanvin, Raf, Ys, etc.). Some people swear by going down a whole size, but I find it uncomfortable.

"In tonight's performance of an MF Doom concert, Doom will be played by his chubby cousin, Derek"

Yo, for those in the know, go to Cava on sunday nights. No corkage, and delicious tapas. Went last night and it was dope. Worth the trip to Yonge and St. Clair.

^ I love Styles

"Go ahead, claim ya set,

I'll claim ya death"

Sadly, unless we trade Bosh, that's the high point of the Raptor's season right there.

I like Drake, but I also kind of feel like his shit is ghost-written, for some reason. I get the same feeling from Kanye. I still play both their tracks though.

How do they fit compared to a true US10/Euro 43 in other shoes?

Now that's some inexcusable tardiness right there.

Yikes, that is not good. I'll be looking for some during Christmas break. If i find a better price I'll let you know.

Clipse's resurgent popularity was related to Pitchfork in my opinion. Sean Fennessey opened the door for them at a time when I don't think I'd ever seen Pitchfork review mixtapes. I remember when I saw a link to the video of them at the shooting range and I was like "wow, I remember them sorta". It does make sense that the Clipse are critical darlings, they are technically strong with accessible credibility.

Nesk, that dipset claim is ridiculous. Dipset were the trashy hood favourite post-G-Unit. Pitchfork liked Purple Haze as did other publications, but they never really fucked with Juelz or Jimmy, who probably did more for the popularity of the Dips in the latter part of this decade.

No one wants to admit it, but Clipse's popularity with hipsters (whatever that means) as Wu-tang's popularity with the same people. It's because it's good music which tells an emotive narrative. After all, they both coke-rap (not all of Wu, but a large part of it).

I don't know if you could say that Clipse started "coke-rap" per se, but I don't know if that term was around before them either. Talking about cocaine in rap goes way back of

But, they definitely re-started a trend, or reinvented it, and even Rae and Ghost became more explicit in their descriptions of hustling than ever they were in the nineties.

The light demeanor on their new album probably has to do with the fact that they are like 36 now.

Alternative to Red Wings for tough winter boots?

How the fuck does anyone live on anything near minimum wage in a big city? I make twice the minimum wage an hour and still find it really hard to save anything for the future, and I don't even pay my fucking rent. Meanwhile I'm trying to save $16000 for school in the future. No doubt there are times where I've been irresponsible with my money in my past, but now that I am watching my friends start the beginnings of careers, I feel as though I should start being more responsible about my life.

When rich people preach about how poor people deserve what they have, it infuriates me. The reality is that most people don't change social class: everyone is irresponsible and makes mistakes sometimes; the difference is that poor people have little-to-no safety net.

I found this strange image while searching for Naked Lunch screencaps.

I was kind of expecting that frog thing to grow a spiny penis and start fucking Martin till he expired in the bliss of agony.

Yo, start working out dude. That helps a lot. I used to be in that cycle, but work keeps it so I go sleep by 3, at least. I've been realizing the benefit of going to bed early recently, though I seldom commit to it.

P.S. let me know if you need ritalin. I owe you.

For me it was because I expected it to be so terrible, because this is what rap-rock reminds me of:

Bleu Davinci was such a terrible rapper.
