Clearly Laura ran it, not me.

This was meant to be a picture of Laura’s gloves and iPod but oh well…

21.1 km – 2:22:36 finish time. I was impressed.

True Blood
Strange Love (Pilot)
I was excited for a new Alan Ball show, though it felt more like the first half of a pilot: They introduced the setting and characters, began to tell a story… and then it ended. Still, it’s a very interesting universe it takes place in.
The show hasn’t really grabbed Laura or I [...]

TMNT
Xbox 360
Definitely an easy game with an easy 1000 Gamerscore. Still, it was kind of fun and a cool throwback to the old days of the TMNT arcade game =)
The turtles really control well and the game captures the feeling of quick, fast-paced ninja moves and running around rooftops, up buildings, over walls and fences [...]

Blindness
Very cool movie but kind of depressing and one scene in particular was a bit brutal. Still, I really enjoyed the movie. It’s a really cool thought-experiment on how people would react that also happens to have really good writing and acting. The characters behave pretty realistically.

I didn’t watch the Canadian Leaders’ debate on Thursday but downloaded and watched it this morning. Interesting that the whole two hours seemed to be the party leaders all ganging up on Stephen Harper.
It really bugged me that Harper was such a calm robot through the whole debate. The other leaders were all worked up [...]
