Konnnnngggg!
A couple of times I half expected Samuel L Jackson to scream out KOONNNNNGGG! reminiscent of Kirk screaming for Khan in Star Trek. The movie was pretty much what we expected and it wasn't bad at all. They did a very good job on Kong and all the other outsize creatures on the island and there were a few of them, really nasty and one that was a ( Read more... ) -
Movie Madness
I don't really have a particular favourite type of movie. A lot of the time, it will depend on what kind of mood I'm in. I do tend not to like horror movies, at least not the bloody slasher type. I have liked some, Alien for instance. Brilliant movie. Hauntings, zombies, monsters, blood and guts, not as much. I'm not a huge fan of cgi though it's a ( Read more... ) -

Two nice things that happened this morning, First I ran into a former coworker, a contractor who had left once the project was done and we'd kept in touch a bit. We really got on well but I haven't heard from her since last year. I did email to see if we could get together but apparently she was quite busy and working out of province a lot. We're ( Read more... ) -

It was a very chilly weekend and I didn't leave the apartment once. G., on the other hand, has been wanting to go shopping for a 7 string electric guitar and decided to go out to the music shop. It was so cold to be waiting around for busses but it doesn't seem to bother him that much. He didn't find what he wanted and is going to go out today to a ( Read more... ) -

Last Thursday was a very stressful day at work, with an application that was supposed to go live over the weekend so I had to take all the associated reports and point them to the production database. It is a tedious job because they have to be done individually. Naturally, People kept interrupting me for other things and occupying my time. I didn' ( Read more... ) -

The weekend was quiet, which was a good thing since I was on call for work. NOthing blew up so I got paid an hour's work for each of the two days. Sunday we had our family tri-birthday party with cake! Ice cream cake actually which I really like. My niece gave me a big bucket of a mug for "Tea Freaks" to get their pot on :) Just about big enough! ( Read more... ) -

Got my hair cut and coloured after work. It was getting quite long and shaggy, almost long enough to tuck the sides behind my ears and I decided I might try to grow it out a little on the sides and back to do it that way, with the top shortened and layered. I've had it that way before, no longer than collar length. Just for a change ( Read more... ) -

Another dump of snow overnight. No cancellations or delayed openings today. What a pain in the ass it was getting to the bus. Walkway not shoveled, bus stop not cleared yet. I find i'm not that steady trying to get through the snow. I won't say "deep" because it's not as if it was knee deep or worse, but at least ankle deep or a tad more in places ( Read more... )
