The Great De-tachment

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Bren has always been a DVD junkie. He has somewhere in the 750 range. Yeah, that’s a lot. Even in college, Bren always had the largest DVD collection of all our friends. That of course made movie night a dream. In fact, we often had such a hard time selecting movies that Bren concocted a [...]

The Comedy of Jesus

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Did you know that Jesus had a sense of humour? I didn’t. Leave it to Bren to take something that at first glance appears to be very very very serious… and uncover the surprisingly dark comedy of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Comedian to rule all comedians. -x-aarti

Aarti Cooks: Fathers Office-Inspired Stuffed Peppers!

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Y’all know how much the McSequeira household worships the burger and beer Shangri-La that is Fathers Office. We have our friends Andrew and Meta to thank for our obsession. A few years ago, they told us about the burger (a glorious creation topped with a bacon-onion compote, light blue cheese and arugula), and shortly thereafter, [...]

Mouth From the South

This clip is priceless. I have never seen anyone disarm Lou the way Ted Turner does in this clip, nor have I seen Lou be this gracious in a while. -x-aarti

The idea of friendship has been at the forefront of the ol’ thinking cap recently. We finished a long series at church analyzing the way in which God extended His hand in friendship to the earth, and continues to do so, even though He has every right to be “cuttee” with us; don’t know what [...]

Bloggas!

Friday, November 7th, 2008

I’m feeling better this morning guys. How are you doing? I slept pretty well, although today is trash day so the trucks woke me up. Ugh. In any case, I thought I’d let you know about two new blogs you should check out! One is by Laura, my improv playmate. You can check it out [...]

Grumpy?

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Are you feeling grumpy? I have been decidedly grumpy the past few days. Few things bring a smile to my face. My shoulders ache with tension. A grey cloud hovers over me, inducing a spell of sluggish, moody blech-ness. I can’t get enough restful sleep. Should a bird sing too vociferously or a door slam [...]

Aarti Cooks: Non Partisan Pasta

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

A good vegetable pasta dish is hard to find and so I don’t blame you if you don’t find yourself excited by this week’s recipe. I have had so many versions, where the pasta is covered in a goopy cream sauce, combined with both undercooked and overcooked vegetables. If the goopy sauce has been omitted, [...]

Got Yer Back!

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

DRUM ROLL PLEASE! I performed my very first improv show on Friday! Ta-daaa!I was so nervous that I didn’t eat hardly anything all day… an especially odd behaviour given my regular routine of eating every two hours. But the show was a great success, thanks mostly to the fact that I played with a fabulous [...]

Happy Halloween!

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Bren and I dressed up as a pair of bunnies: one good and the other psychotic. Can you guess which one is which? -x-aarti
