Weekly Specials:

"can i get a bite?"

  1. The Harder They Fall | Official Trailer | Netflix. I really didn't think I'd see an American Western that would focus on one of the most famous Black heroes of the Old West. Jonathan Majors has been on a roll as of late, so I'm excited to tune into this.
  2. "ROUGH CUT: Patrick Praman's "Welcome to Real" Part" I said it once before and I'll say it again; I'll always spotlight Asian skaters. Patrick crushed his first REAL part and watching the rough cut is all the more satisfying. Not even getting smoked can keep him from smiling.
  3. Lately my favourite place to find books has been Value Village. I'm a big paperback vs. hardcover reader. I like folding books and bending them so hardcovers really hamper my ability to really break it in. And if they're mass market paperbacks even better as VV marks these at $3-4 a piece. Real savings for some pretty new books. I picked up one of last years most hyped books The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton for $4! I have a hard time shelling out $30 for a book. Don't know why, just always have so VV comes thru when it's time to unplug for a little bit.
  4. If you've ever boiled eggs, but also find it painful peeling the shell off fear not! Our boy Kenji has the knowledge dart for you. If you want to read a deep article on the steps to the perfect boiled eggs, you can read that here. If you are a visual learner, here's the video.

    And when you're done learning how to make your perfect egg, here's a video on an egg salad sandwich. If that's the type of sandwich you want to eat anyways.

I'm none to proud to admit, but since I received these Entireworld "Free Ballers" I haven't worn any other pants around the house. Entireworld is the brainchild of former designer and owner of Band of Outsiders. I've always been curious on how their products hold up and they've been highly rated on both their price point and quality.

The pants are made from super soft, lightweight organic cotton jersey. Wear them as PJs, house pants, or anywhere really–you will literally never want to take these suckers off. If the rumours of a proposed 5 week shutdown are true, you'll want to be wearing something comfortable as you pace about your place.

If you prefer something a little more fun, they do make these unisex Striped PJ Pant that I'll also end up buying.

Beanie szn is fast approaching and I'll be digging out my beanie's and prepping them for heavy usage. However, PAA decided today is the day to bless us with their newest version of the already claimed (by both BIG BOSS and I) "best beanie ever," the Combo Stitch Beanie. Shaggy and chunky Scottish Lambswool half cardigan knit exterior on the face and a soft and chunky Italian Merino wool waffle knit interior. It truly doesn't get better than this!

The Lilac colourway is an automatic acquisition for me and I'm already thinking of the ensembles to wear with it.

Maybe lilac isn't your speed. Fret not. PAA has a more subtle Grain Lambswool, or if you are like me and want some bold headwear it's available in Lemon Lime​ and Mandarin Orange.
