Looking to buy a car

1 04 2007

After about 3 years of not owning a car in Montreal, Heidi and I are starting to crack. We’re finding public transportation difficult for getting to church, going to friends houses, or going to Ultimate games (coming up!) so we’re seriously looking at getting a car. So far, I’m shopping on craigslist and I’ve found a few cars including a Subaru and a VW that look pretty interesting.

We’re so excited to be able to have a car at our disposal again; thinking of weekend road trips, easy drives to MEC and trips for juice to the grocery store are really thrilling for us! I’ll post some pictures once we decide to buy something.

    SLC > MSP - I can like Soderbergh, I want to like Carano and the supporting cast is pretty awesome but this movie felt like a big miss. The acting was not great (that was expected), the story was incomprehensible and could only be traced by action scene to action scene and the characters were very under-developed. The stunts were (probably) all done by Carano which for the fighting scenes was pretty cool but lots of the other stuff felt like it could have been better. All told, I'd love to see her in more movies (or a tv show) even though this one was not that great.

    Good performances, interesting characters, good location, and a simple story well told. All that said, I liked it, but I didn't love it. Best quote was, "Give you kids enough money to do something but not enough to do nothing."

  • Like Water (2011) 7/10

    An honest look at the most successful but certainly not the most loved athlete in UFC history, Anderson Silva.

  • Air Guitar Nation (2006) 7/10

    2012-02-19 11:37
    * * * * * * *

    Documentary about the rise of Air Guitar in the States and it's popularity worldwide. The first few minutes it seems to be really bizarre to be taken so seriously but by the end it begins to seem much more normal.

Be wary of USB super-sticks

1 04 2007

I have a 1GB USB stick (E-stick for some) that I love. I put Firefox on it and had my browser set up beautifully to work on any computer that I go to – problem was that I didn’t password protect anything on there and on my recent trip to Florida, I lost it.

If I had password protected it, no worries at all, just $20 down the drain, but that’s it. Now, if a malicious person got it and wanted to get into some of my accounts lots of the passwords are right in there! So now, I have the enviable job of finding really important accounts (like my email, blog and bank accounts) and changing the passwords. Bummer – learn your lesson USB stick travelers!

George HW Bush, superhero!

1 04 2007

I saw this statue probably a year ago when flying through Houston and had a real good chuckle at it, like the chuckle I had when I saw New Hampshire’s license plates motto (“Live Free or Die”). I think this statue is hilarious because it makes Bush Sr look like a super hero with his stop motion bronzed jacket and tie caught mid-swing. I would have expected something a bit more subdued, but this is what we get – cool stuff, Dub-Senior!
