Curse of Chucky
Fear not everyone! It is fairly common for horror movie series to require the viewer to have seen all the previous movies to know what is going on in the latest sequel. Some series use flashbacks to get around this like Friday the 13th, which would so often start a movie with a ten-minute recap of what you need to know. Some consider even this ( Read more... ) -
Thor - The Dark World
There may be those of you out there in interwebland that are unfamiliar with the Avengers films. If you are one of those, then I would not recommend Thor - The Dark World. It's not that it's a bad film, far from it, it's that the movie expects you to have at least seen the previous Thor and The Avengers. Now I know what you're thinking, "Does ( Read more... ) -
SharePoint
Last week I attended a class to teach me how to develop applications for MS SharePoint. For those unfamiliar with it, SharePoint is a fancypants yet simple way to make web pages. I sat there listening to the instructor show us how all this works while I worked on practice projects from the book ( Read more... ) -

This is the End
This is the End is a heartwarming tale of a group of friends struggling to survive in a world gone mad. And when I say heartwarming I actually mean it's a raunchy comedy starring Seth Rogan, James Franco, Danny McBride, and a handful of others ( Read more... ) -
Reminiscing
I don't know what sparked it, but I found myself the last couple days just going through all my old posts. There were quite a few. I started this journal as something to do. Most of what I wrote about in the early days were film reviews, write-ups of dreams I had, and links to what I considered the more interesting or bizarre news articles that ( Read more... ) -
Nijmegen Marches
Last week I traveled out to the middle of the Netherlands to participate in a 200km, 4-day ruck march. Tuesday morning, I woke up and had breakfast at 3am. Then showered, got into uniform, made sure that my backpack had 10kg (22lbs) of weight in it, grabbed a couple bottles of water and met up with everyone at the front gate of our camp. At 4:30 ( Read more... ) -
Long Walk
I've gone and done something most people wouldn't even think twice about before refusing to do. A while back I registered for the Nijmegen March. It is a four-day long 200km (124 miles) march taking place next week ( Read more... ) -
Shifting Gears
On Monday this week, I drove home from work. This is nothing special on its own, but it's less than five kilometers (< 3 miles) from work to my house. It took me well over an hour due to rush hour traffic. That was the last straw ( Read more... ) -
Learning
I'm in the middle (as in this is actually the midpoint right now) of a class on MS SharePoint. It's not bad, but it's one of those where I get bored and start working ahead. The only problem with that was yesterday when I hit a snag and realised that I would have to wait until today when the teacher/class caught up to where I had been working ( Read more... )
