Barcelona Travel Log — Day 6 — Big Brother is Watching

Of course, after posting the blog yesterday we realized we had missed another important story, so before getting to today’s events, here’s a brief story from yesteryear. The other day we went to the local supermarket (or super-mercat, as it’s called here…or is advertising some sort of feline superhero) to pick up some supplies (read:… Continue reading Barcelona Travel Log — Day 6 — Big Brother is Watching

Barcelona Travel Log — Day 5 — Clara hates Jeff’s “typoes”

Jeff was so frazzled from his “incident” yesterday that we forgot to include a smaller, but still funny, anecdote that happened. Jeff also remembered some other key points he wanted to make on travelling in Barcelona, so we’ll deal with that first before getting on with the day. Yesterday After spending the last few days… Continue reading Barcelona Travel Log — Day 5 — Clara hates Jeff’s “typoes”

Potty Mouth

Potty Mouth

Ever notice how people act totally different once a wheelchair shows up? I’ve seen it all, everything from people talking loudly and slowly so my simple little brain can understand what they’re saying to people who stop swearing around me to protect my precious virgin ears. In that vein, this episode is dedicated to anyone… Continue reading Potty Mouth

Barcelona Travel Log — Day 3 — This Gaudi guy is pretty good

Ugh. It was tough getting up this morning. Today marks the first (and hopefully last) day where we almost missed breakfast.

Barcelona Travel Log — Day 1 — Jeff Sucks At Beating Jet Lag

As we were sitting here watching a brutally attacked man reach for corks on a shelf on a television soap opera we don’t understand, we decided to write a little blog post about how our trip is so far. Things got off to a bad start for Jefferoo when the flight attendant came to his… Continue reading Barcelona Travel Log — Day 1 — Jeff Sucks At Beating Jet Lag

Barcelona or bust

Today’s the big day, my flight to Barcelona. The drive to the airport was quite interesting, as people kept honking at us and looking generally pissed off. After spending about an hour on the 401 thinking that everyone in Toronto was still a bit pissy about that whole G20 thing we discovered upon arrival that… Continue reading Barcelona or bust

Celeb for a day

Today was the 15th annual Jeff Preston Celebrity Golf Tournament. Yea, I have a golf tournament named after me…it’s humbling, embarrassing, and brag-worthy all at the same time. For the third year in a row, the skies opened up and poured rain on the little community of Saugeen Shores the night before the tournament, only to… Continue reading Celeb for a day

The Sickness

Back with another comic, right on schedule! I’ve been busy preparing for my presentation tomorrow at Ignite London. Speaking of which, if you’re around tomorrow night you should come by Gigs Grillhouse on Talbot and see me speak! I’m up first, which will make my impending failure that much more spectacular. Come watch the fireworks!
