I’m gonna need a bigger pumpkin.

So, Jeff ‘n I were out hunting the wild groceries this afternoon, and I had a lightning strike of inspiration.  It’s October and Thanksgiving (the real one, Pat – tell Brian I said so) is here and so there were … Continue reading

I think he spells it $ulu now…

I’m not a huge fan of the original Star Trek or Kesha (I refuse to spell her name with a friggin’ dollar sign) but I saw this clip and I thought it was amazing:

Milla Jojovich & Crap Movies

So Jeff & I went on Friday to see Resident Evil: Afterlife.  I’m still not clear on what makes the third sequel in this series Afterlife-ish.  What I do know is that the first movie was pretty great, and it … Continue reading

I’d kick a bunny for a cheeseburger.

So very, very hungry. If you’ve read previous posts you know how I go on ad nauseum about the evils of P-90X and how I’m always getting up early and jumping around like an idiot in a vain attempt to … Continue reading

I had a feeling about Hulk…

I got this from last week’s issue of The Stranger: I failed the geek test: Isn’t She-Hulk Hulk’s Cousin?

Noah is behind the laundry hamper.

First of all, what kind of spell-check lets through the word “Peterbprough”? Anyways. The story: Around June 23rd or so we arrived in Peterborough and had a great first day visiting with my mom and step-dad Dave. We sat on … Continue reading

What I did on our summer vacation…

Because we’re WASPS and it’s in our DNA, I wrote thank you cards to both Jeff’s parents and mine thanking them for hosting us on our trip to Ontario. Let me be clear- we had an amazing time in Goderich, … Continue reading

I need to find a new hobby.

I stopped playing video games on a serious basis (ie: hours at a time) a year or two ago when I did the math and figured I’d spent a solid month playing GTA: San Andreas.  That being said though, since … Continue reading

So… Very… Tired.

We’re just wrecked. Back on Saturday night, hustled over to North Vancouver and scooped up the dog (who is still pissed at us for dumping him in doggie prison, it seems) and still haven’t really gotten our feet under us … Continue reading

Vacation time = A lot less writing, a lot more lolz.

Jeff & I are headed out to Ontario shortly, to see family and possibly be carried off my mosquitos.  I’ll try to post from the road, but given how JEFF FAILED HIS ROAD TEST, I’ll be doing all of the … Continue reading

From Russia with absolutely no love at all.

I saw the date on part I here – sorry it’s taken so long to get to part II.  Hopefully it’s part II like “Godfather part II” and not “Charlie’s Angels part II”. Shut up, I liked the original.  Movies … Continue reading

In (Post) Soviet Russia… well, they just shoot you in the head.

Funny story for you: Back in the old days of 2002-2003, I went to the ass-end of the planet to teach English as a second language. I don’t think I’m exaggerating too much here, either – I went  to Achinsk, … Continue reading

Not the tip I could have used at the time.

Another random story from my past. 1995: After my first failed attempt at university, I shamelessly begged money from my mom and travelled out to Vancouver.  I wanted to create a life as far from Ottawa and my family as … Continue reading

The kids call it “praying” these days. …And now I’m going to hell.

This photo was part of the PostSecret edition for this week: When I checked out the site for this week and came across this gem, like anything else disturbing I find on the internet, I immediately went to find Jeff … Continue reading
