AllofMP3.com – legal? fantastic?

26 11 2004

While the legality of the site may be in question I’m liking AllofMP3.com for it’s decent catalogue of music and really cheap prices (about 4c per song). I downloaded the soundtrack fro Dogtown & Z-Boys yesterday for Heidi as well as a bunch of individual songs that were on the movie but not on the soundtrack for a solid 35 track listing costing about $1 US. She is listening to it pretty frequently, including right now…

I also am back up and listing the movies that I’ve been watching – you can get there by going to the Flicks category on the right hand side – all the recent (and really old ones) are up there.

Movies I've watched recently:

  • Real Steel (2011) 7/10

    YVR > SJC - kind of a zany concept but it works relatively well, not a great boxing movie but not too bad.

  • The Guard (2011) 8/10

    This movie came well recommended to me and it was a good, strange and profanity laced comedy. The main character was profound, confusing and yet remarkably consistent and believable. Some good lines in there and a nice change of pace from an action movie loaded with action to this one which seems to try to avoid it at every turn.

  • Moneyball (2011) 9/10

    When a movie with a plot as benign as MLB drafting and trading using statistics instead of scouting intuition is this entertaining, you know they did something right. Great story that had both Heidi and I riveted to a sport that we really know and care very little about.

  • Warrior (2011) 8/10

    MSP > YVR - Solid acting in this action-drama, decent story, pretty good fight scenes and sympathetic characters. All in all, nicely done.

  • Breaking the Press (2010) 4/10

    Ugh, this Christian movie was not worth watching. While it followed the plot of the Prodigal Son story closely, it seemed to lack all the great details that we had been learning about in the Prodigal God book study that we were going through. The acting was poor, most of the characters were poorly developed and the dialog was very local (to Texas) and didn't sound very natural to my Canadian ears.

ARGHHH!! TiCats change logo

24 11 2004

ticats.jpg
Oh no – my beloved TiCats have decided to change their image and go with a new look! I totally miss my beloved leaping tiger (BTW – that’s why I picked to cheer for the Ticats when I was 9). At least I got my old logo Ticat hat already – I’ll be okay…

On second looking I see that the leaping Tiger is still there, so whew – but that other standing tiger just looks stupid – Richard Parker could tear him apart anyday

Our brand new gas fireplace!

We’re really liking our new fireplace that we had installed in our basement. This week we should get a fan put on it and then it’ll really pump out those btu’s

Halo 2 and other info

22 11 2004

On last Thursday I got Halo 2 for my Xbox and have been playing it pretty feverishly for the last few days. Also been playing online with some friends which is a lot of fun cause you can’t see their screens – I’m ‘RoyalChinook’ on Xbox Live if you want to add me.

A funny Halo related website is Red Vs. Blue – check it out.

Congrats to Jeremy & Kelly on their expected baby boy (Joshua) and to Jeremy’s sister and her husband (Ryan & Julia) on their expectant girl. Tom’s going to be a grandpa twice!

Yeah for the Toronto Argonauts on their Grey Cup win last night. I really didn’t care too much who won but I was happy that Pinball and his gigantic smile had another Grey Cup

On my last post I put up some Mexico pictures – we were in the Cancun area in a town called Playa del Carmen. It was a great time with all of Heidi’s family (minus the grandkids who stayed at their other grandparents) where many cerveca’s were consumed. I’m still saying Hola! because I think it sounds so much cooler than Hello or Bonjour – I’ve slowly been getting my very limited Spanish out of my mind and back into English but the Hola will stay for awhile.

Adios!

Stupid test from Cam that weirded me out

5 11 2004

This is really weird.
At the end of this, you are asked a question.

Answer it immediately. Don’t stop and think about it.

Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.

This is a fun “test”… AND kind of spooky at the same time!
Try it, then add a comment and you’ll see how many people you know fall into the same percentage as you. Be sure to put in the comment if you are among the 98% or the 2%.
You’ll understand what that means after you finish taking the
“test”.
