Cup after Olympics?

26 05 2011

Do Canadian cities that host the Olympics get the Stanley Cup the following year?

Montreal hosted the Olympics in 1976 and won the Stanley Cup in 1977.
Calgary hosted the Olympics in 1988 and won the Stanley Cup in 1989
Vancouver hosted the Olympics in 2010 and will win in 2011?!?!

It appears to be a trend!



Movies I've watched recently:

  • Air Guitar Nation (2006) 7/10

    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.

  • Another Year (2010) 5/10

    Far too slow with little plot at all. I understand that it was going for character development more so than plot but it seemed to just drop every character that it started a story with, the insomniac at the beginning, Ken, the drunkard and ultimately Mary who seemed to become the lead character by the end. No closure and way too little happening.

    On Kevin's recommendation, Heidi and I watched this movie and we were glued to the screen throughout. It's the story of a woman's acceptance and struggle with her faith. I have no idea who I could recommend this to as it can be a bit crude for a Christian movie and a bit boring for those who like more' entertaining' movies. Nevertheless, her openness is powerful, "I gave my heart outright. I'm telling you today, I'm still waiting for Him to make Himself at home. I feel like I live in an empty place."

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

    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.

Bill Mayer on Christians loving their enemies

20 05 2011

I’m not really a Bill Mayer fan but in this clip he calls out Christians to live up to the high standard of Christ.

New Rule! If you’re a Christian who supports killing your enemies and torture, you have to come up with a new name for yourself.

If you ignore every single thing that Jesus commanded you to do… you are not Christ’s followers, you’re just fans.”



Levee, hanging out, saving stuff

Amid all the flooding along the Mississippi River, it’s a beautiful thing to see a levee that’s working just like it should.
