i want: Club Coupe 911 Limited Edition

Club Coupe 911 Limited Edition

God, look at that car, isn’t it freakin’ beautiful

I love these cars. I remember in high school having pictures of Porsches all over my locker and books. This beauty is a limited edition made especially for Porsche Club of America’s 50th anniversary. I’ve always battled with what colour my Porsche would be, but after seeing this one, I now know… Baby Blue. I’m a big fan of the targa, check out some beautiful pictures here.

UFO Stovetop Espresso Maker

So, I got my espresso maker. Making those first cups of espresso was such a major pain in the ass, I can’t believe it. I blame the instructions, there were piss poor. LOL! I did manage to figure it out eventually and had a cup. I was happy. Here is a picture of it on my stove. coffee

What a weekend…

Wow, this was a busy weekend in the city. FridayFriday I celebrated birthdays with another Gemini friend of mine. I was born on June 6th so the party was a little late, but it was a lot of fun. Here are a few choice shots; you can view the rest here The Birthday Boy SaturdayI went to the Ribs festival at the Distillery District. It was a lot smaller than I expected but the ribs were good good. I got some ribs from Camp 31, a Canadian outfit from Paris, Ontario. The ribs were nice and tasty. A full rack is much to big too eat oneself, so I split one with my friend Paul. I didn’t take any pictures of the Distillery District, there were just too many humans walking around. Sunday And now Sunday, the final day of Pride in Toronto. Pride to me is an excuse to party. I was there as an ally to the community and to hang out with some friends. I didn’t watch the parade. I don’t care …

i want…

Prada Sunglasses That’s me with some loaned Prada Shades. This was taken at my birthday celebration on Friday. You can see the rest of the shots here. These sunglasses are very nice. A friend let me try them on and then complimented me on how they looked. I have to agree; unfortunately these sunglasses cost about 300 bucks. Not a very good investment for someone who loses sunglasses all the time, hence why I buy cheap. sunglasses, prada

i want…

Keen Shoes – Boulder These shoes would be so good for camping. There are some places in the city that sell them. Hopefully they’ll have the colour I want. shoes, camping

i want…

A Visual Thesaurus Okay, I’m not much of a writer, but I do think this Visual Thesaurus is pretty freaking cool. You can try it out on the site, give it a shot software, thesaurus

i want…

Another lamb burger from the Seldom Seen/Seldom Heard farm. So I finally went to the Dufferin Grove Farmer’s market. It was small, but had a lot of good fresh organic veggies and lots of organic meat. I got some of the first ontario strawberries too, can’t wait to eat those. Here are a couple pictures from the market. I was about to leave when I stumbled across the lamb burger stand. I ordered one up because I was curious. It was fucking fantastic. So, I want a half of lamb from Seldom Seen/Seldom Heard farm. And while I’m at it, I want a rack of lamb prepared for me (I don’t want to do anything except eat) using this recipe and with mint jelly on the side. I’ll just have to make room for the other parts in my freezer. lamb, toronto, farmers market, burgers

i got…

My Shure headphones.I’m enjoying the sound that these earphones have. Much, much better than my Sony’s. I am quite impressed with the thickness of wire they use. My Sony’s used a much thinner wire which apparently couldn’t stand up to task of being my headphones and broke. So, I splurged on these Shure headphones. And I’m quite happy about it. It’s taking some time getting used to the thicker wires. The configuration of the ear pieces is different from my Sony’s also. Overall, I’m happy. shure, ipod

i want…

An Endless pool I’d probably need a house first to own an endless pool, but they are very sweet. I don’t like public pools that much and I’ve never been very good at making those turns at the walls. This would be perfect for fitting more exercise into the day. via luxist

i want….

UFO Stovetop Espresso Maker Bruno Bardazzi’s polished stainless steel machine brews two perfect cups simultaneously atop the stove. Includes a pair of ceramic cups and saucers. Exclusive to SFMOMA. $70.00US. The funny thing is, I’m going to have this little wonder in my hot little hands next week. WOOT!! coffee

i want…

I want a new purple iSkin for my iPod. The one I have now is broken and needs replacing. I hear from the local computer shop that iSkin have been pretty bad at sending out stock so there were no new 3G skins to be bought. Boo iSkin boo. [tags]ipod, iskin, shopping[/tags]

i want…

E2c Sound Isolating Earphones I’m going to give up on my sony pieces of shit, and get some real headphones, the Shure E2c are it. It is the cheapest version in the line but at $109CDN they are still pretty pricey.
