Secretly I've always felt that I missed the whole Wii bandwagon. But I couldn't justify buying a whole new system because I knew I'd only really play Wii sports. Four years later, enter Kinect for the 360.
The system upgrade was pretty painless. I was reading too many horror stories on forums but it was pretty straight forward. The new system auto- ( Read more... )

We've been procrastinating about maintaining our tenants' car port. The weather was great today so I took advantage of it and got the task done. Best workout I've had in months.

At one point, due to a lack of foresight. I loaded 18 bags of fancy gravel on a cart. I had just previously hauled 9 bags and wanted to save a trip. I think I considered ( Read more... )

Our listing went fast. Just a week-ish after our last tenant left we already have it filled. Judging people is hard, hopefully we made the right choice. These people have a dog and he is very well behaved. I can apreciate how much work it takes to raise a non-neurotic dog. I think that is what made Julie and I really consider them. Well that and ( Read more... )

Trying to apply for different positions in my company with not much luck. Been to three interviews already and can't seem to get the hang of things. I get too nervous and speak too fast. Sure I get better with experience. But the stress and dissapointment is hard on my ego.

In other news, I'm totally enjoying Fallout: New Vegas. Looks like Fallout ( Read more... )

Snow has finally made a brief appearance in Toronto. I felt bad for all the little kiddies who braved the cold last night. I think wearing paper would have had a better heat rating compared to those store bought costumes. Also not a lot of neighbors were handing out candies this year. Kind of sad to see really.

We got bushwacked yesterday and lost an hour of my life. I accidentally let one in the house because he was under the guise of my a union rep for my company. He was to deliver a child safety kit, which was nice. But went on and tried to sell whole life insurance.

He was basically selling insurance to cover your funeral costs. I told him we don't ( Read more... )

First time here and boy is it gorgeous. We went for a little walking tour around the terminal area. A bit chilly today, thankfully there is no rain. The wind chill proved a bit too much for Liam's raw cheeks.

We have determined that he is allergic to dairy. Initially we thought it was nuts and/or shellfish. Going on an Italian ship with a heavy ( Read more... )

Friendly folks over at P.E.I. Definitely a lot of growth in their farming industry. The fishing is pretty damned good too.

Went on a river boat cruise. It ran a bit late because the tour guides were very hospitable. P.E.I really loves their tourists. We had to sprint back on the ship as they were pulling in the ramps. These MSC guys don't mess ( Read more... )

Got my oceans mixed up. Well the seafood is just as lovely.

Our day here in Sydney is almost over. Quaint little place. $15,000 will buy you a house and 7.5 acres of land. Crazy affordable. They have an art/design school with some insanely detailed quilts. It costs as much as a house.

We went to a craft sale and Liam scored a pumpkin pillow for ( Read more... )

First it was turbulence, then a few hours later it was the Pacific waves. I think I forgot to pack my travel stomache. Been keeping an eye open for a pharmacy, but no luck yet.

I must say travelling with Liam is a lot easier than I expected. Going through security is a breeze. He is quite popular too. Always stirring up a crowd. I feel quite guilty ( Read more... )
