Things I've Learned In past 10 days or so, Issue 1

*That there is a song called 'The Village Green Preservation Society" (via Smodcast)

*That you can make anything into bacon. Had octopus bacon at C Restaurant last Saturday. It was amazing wrapped around scallops that were super sized. Also, they have the best sourdough bread I've tasted, like ever.

*That Shakespeare can be twice as hilarious with crotch shots. Doubly so with fart jokes. Seriously, two crotch shots in this year's Bard on the Beach rendition of Twelfth Night. It was damned good. Particularly the guy who reminded me of Buster from Arrested Development. Trust me.

*That Stephen Spielberg is making video games with EA. Boom Blox.

*That at Benziger wines they have the following positions listed as part of their wine growing team: Executive Winemaker, Director of Winemaking, V.P. of Winegrowing and Director of Gardens. Also, their 2006 Sauvignon Blanc is decent on a patio night at Glowbal.

*That Lego has a secret vault which contains a wrapped version of every set they have ever created. [Gizmodo]

*That X-Files regular Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis) recently starred in an episode of NBC's Fear Itself playing priest. It was not filmed in Vancouver. It was filmed in Edmonton.

*That the Mad Men season one dvd package is a rad zippo lighter shape. I actually knew this before, but not it is sitting on my shelf looking amazing.
