I wish that these people were my friends, hot tubing and settlers seems like a pretty solid combo



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

    2012-01-21 22:38
    * * * * * * * *

    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.

Montreal 2005 Day One – Opening Ceremonies

I stole someone’s photo cause it looks nice. This was the pack that Heidi was in for the 2 day 60 km walk to end breast cancer which she recently finished. Thanks to those of you who donated to her!! over 3000 people walked and over 9 million dollars were raised for the new addition to the hospital!

Leonard Nimoy has a ballad to Bilbo Baggins which is just silly.

I just woke up with this the other day

Or did I do this on purpose??!!

Truthfully, I got this done while Heidi was visiting her family for a week and I surprised her when she came back. I got it done at Adrenaline in Montreal which is an amazing shop! It hurt a lot but not nearly as much as I thought it would – feel free to post a comment to let me know that I am a very bad boy and I should have read Leviticus 19:28.



Our old house in Saskatoon is back up for sale!

Our Old House
The house we lived in when we were in Saskatoon is back up for sale! The price has certainly gone up but it doesn’t look like much was done to it. The same real estate agent that we sold it with is selling it again – cool!



Over Heard in New York

24 08 2005

From Chris’ suggestion (not always appropriate for work, or home) I checked out Over Heard in New York and found some gems…

McChick: Would you like that “with cheese”, or without “with cheese”?

Woman: Is there a special event going on at Columbia this summer? Because I’ve seen a lot of Asians around.

Chick: People donate body parts?
Older woman: Yes, when people die they can donate their body so that other people can benefit from it.
Chick: So, like, I could get a new arm or something?

Chick: Wait, I really did sleep with that guy? I need to update my Excel spreadsheet.

Guy: Excuse me, do you have any poppy seed bagels?
Bakery lady: What the hell is a popsicle bagel?

Girl, 7: I wish I could go in and play with them. I want to play with the turtles.
Zookeeper woman: They’re not turtles. They’re tortoises.
Girl, 7: Whatever. I want to step on them.
