Good Thing I Wasn’t Hungry and Dinner Could Wait

My step mom Kim was in town for a few days, overseeing the opening of a big ass Shoppers Drug Mart. As if her days haven’t been hectic enough, we had our own little adventure last night when trying to go grab some dinner.

So, we’re heading up King Street and stopped at a red [...]

Star Wars + Lego + Video Games = Sweet!

If this game plays half as good as it looks, it’ll be frickin’ awesome. Check out this link to find out what the hell I’m talking about, and be sure to watch some of the clips.

Zatoichi Not To Be

I came across a screener rip of Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman the other day while Sven, Mike and I were discussing possible “guaranteed” choices for the next movie day. It was eventually decided to go with Dawn of the Dead (new Sarah Polley edition — yay!!) and Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, since we could [...]

Place Hand Here

I just finished watching the final two episodes of Kingdom Hospital. Although I stuck with it I have to say that, in the end, it was rather mediocre. The four or five week hiatus didn’t help with momentum, and the final episode was overly bloated. Too much re-used footage. I also [...]

Critical Swastikas

I boot up my computer this morning, and I’m greeted with a notice about a critical update for Windows. The culprit?

This item updates the Bookshelf Symbol 7 font included in some Microsoft products. The font has been found to contain unacceptable symbols. After you install this item, you may have to restart [...]

Time for Sensitivity

I think this came to mind when Jen was showing pictures and telling me about her cool orchids. For a couple of years I’ve managed to keep alive a jade plant I inherited from Dean before his South America trip, but what I really want to do is try to grow another sensitive plant. [...]

FirePeddie.com Takes Off

This is priceless. Check out FirePeddie.com and this thread at Real GM. It looks like (almost) enough money has been raised to fly a banner over the ACC in time for Vince’s charity game there next Friday. The plane has been booked, a press release is being polished off, and will be [...]

Into the Final Stretch

Now that I don’t have to worry anymore about the presentations from last week, things will slow down a bit work-wise. I have a few reports for STAT 938 to write, but each are only a couple of pages; the ones for the consulting sessions shouldn’t take too long if I put my mind [...]

Alias News

While watching the third season of Alias this past year, it cemented a place at the top of my must-watch list. As a testament to how entertaining it really is, I didn’t even notice that it was a relatively disappointing season. This hit home when I bought the first season on DVD and watched it [...]

King of Oblivious?

Oh man, I go crazy trying to understand what the hell goes on in the mind of my roommate Dan. Example from this morning, not five minutes ago:

We pass each other in the hallway, as I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth. Clearly he knows I’m in the house. As [...]

Going By Too Fast

I can’t believe it’s nearly mid-July. The past couple of weeks have gone by particularly fast. I shouldn’t complain, since my busy time at school consisted of three assignments last week, and two presentations this week. I’ll have a couple more things per week to finish things off.

On Thursday evening was the picnic for the [...]

DVD DL Drool

It’s getting closer … we have the technology … now we just need better availability, cheaper media … and a jump or two in recording speed.

Link.

These Are Times That Can't Be Weathered …

… and we have never been back there since then.

Reminder to write about Rilo Kiley.

Now to Await the Final Volume

Just finished Song of Susannah. Yeah, it was only just over 400 pages, but I’m still surprised at how quickly I raced through it. Especially since I didn’t set aside big chunks of time to read … a couple hours here and there, plus some breaks between getting school stuff done.

After so many years of [...]

Genius of Ferrel

Now that I’m done wiping away the laughter-induced tears, I just have to tell you to check out the theatrical trailer for Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy!
