Our bbq has gas. Not flatulence gas, natural gas. Not natural flatulent gas, just natural gas. We can now cook food. In fact, Nellie is outside doing so now whilst I try to recover from the day that was.

Four interesting things that RSS’d their way to me today:

1. There will be a Voltron movie. When it is released I shall re-live my childhood.
2. Voting for the Golden Tap awards is now open. The awards honor the best microbreweries (and their beers) in the GTA, and in Ontario. My picks are as follows:
   • Best microbrewery in the GTA (Granite Brewery)
   • Best beer brewed in the GTA (Granite Brewery Dry Hop Special Bitter)
   • Best microbrewery in Ontario (Neustadt)
   • Best beer brewed in Ontario, outside the GTA (Neustadt 10W30)
   • Best pub in the GTA, in terms of draught selection (Bar Volo)
   • Best pub in the GTA, in terms of bottle selection (Smokeless Joe’s)
   • Best pub in Ontario, outside of the GTA (Manx, in Ottawa, though I should admit that it’s the only one I’ve been to)
   • Best brewpub or tied house in Ontario (Granite Brewery)
3. Il Fornello, a Toronto restaurant, will be adding an Ontario-only menu.
4. There are a lot of “classic” albums that I just can’t stand. A few of them are mentioned in this Guardian article, and some folks agree with me. In fact, the only ones I don’t agree with are the Arcade Fire (which seems out of place from the rest, and I think it’s just an easy and controversial target) and to some degree Nirvana and Pink Floyd. The rest I don’t care for at all.
