This morning, Laura and I went to Canadian Tire and bought a car-top carrier. We actually got the same one my brother JP had:

It was so huge that when we brought it out to her car, we couldn’t fit it into the car. We had to take it out of the box, squish it into [...]

The new Matthew Good album, Hospital Music, came out at midnight tonight (aka, right on the 31st) on the iTunes music store and I grabbed it right away. Upon first listen, it is quite excellent.

I finished reading Hybrids a little while ago and it was alright. Not as good as the first book of [...]

I went out and did some practice driving with Dennis this evening. I was kind of worried about driving his Rav 4 because it’s big and stuff but as ti turns out, it handles really well and it’s a bit easier when you’re up higher and can see the road better.
The only minor issue was [...]

A lot of the time when I’m looking for new books to buy, I look for ones I haven’t read by authors I already know I like. It seems the safer choice.
It was perhaps three months ago when I was in a Chapters last and I picked up a couple Neil Gaiman books I hadn’t [...]

The results show of So You Think You Can Dance last night began with two unnecessary apologies. One from one of the judges who had worn a (very fashionable) faux military jacket the night before which had a military symbol upside down on the sleeve or something. Apparently this drove people into a frenzy and [...]

It took me three tries to watch all of ‘The Number 23′ - I just kept falling asleep. I’m not even sure why, either. It was kind of a cool movie in the end. A movie of obsession, as it were.

It was… okay in the end. It wasn’t anything amazing and the whole 23 being [...]

The BBC has recently put out a new adaptation of the Jekyll and Hyde story. Called simply Jekyll, it is really damn cool.

12 minutes into the first episode and I already loved it. It’s not “too” British (for example, the dialog in Extras is a bit tough to understand sometimes) and isn’t silly fantasy, there’s [...]

Slow day, so I thought I’d show some Everybody Votes Channel results:

I can’t believe so many so many people still avoid stepping on cracks!

Jamie and I threw down in some Gears of War for a few hours this afternoon and then drove over to Sarah’s for her housewarming… event. Arriving almost exactly on time, we definitely arrived before the “party” began, like big losers.
In time, many others arrived including both relatives and friends of Sarah and Alex. Surprisingly, [...]
