Further surprising insights from the Wii:

For some reason I was under the impression that I was in the minority by choosing to sleep on my side most of the time. It just seemed more comfortable than on my back. At least, it used to. Since we got the new, giant bed I’ve found that it’s [...]

Today’s Zero Punctuation has led me to realize that I often play games primarily for the story, plot, setting and visual aesthetic of the setting. In fact, if I’m really into a couple of those things, I will tolerate awful cameras, terrible controls and even sub-par gameplay. Case-in-point: Reasons why I play Silent Hill games. [...]

I really do like Windows Vista. It’s pretty and feels well-designed under the hood. I do, however, have two main issues with it: System Restore (SR) and the User Account Control (UAC).
In both cases, your only option is to turn them on or off and both “features” are annoying as all hell when turned on.
System [...]

I spent my day today waiting around for Shaw to arrive and hook up all my utilities. While I’m thankful that I can just pay the one bill to them for cable, internet and home phone, the most ideal situation would be for Rogers to buy Shaw so I could incorporate my wireless bill into [...]

I dropped Laura off at work this morning (so I could pick up presents for her and do other chores) and while I’m driving, she tells me that I make her nervous because I drive like Ryan: Apparently I don’t speed, but I accelerate quickly to get to the speed limit right away =)

So? Why [...]

Tonight, the Battlestar Galactica: Razor event aired on TV and I really liked it. It provides a good counter-point to the way Admiral Adama and President Roslin have run things. Really, a completely different philosophy on the situation.
In the beginning of the miniseries, Adama’s thinking is that they are at war and they should be [...]

I’m not really used to hanging out with people during the week but my friends here do it all the time.
In Kitchener-Waterloo, I really only hung out with Laura. Dennis was in town and I’d see him once a month or so (more at the end but there were planned events going on). So it’ll [...]

Laura and I went out for a walk tonight. It was cool out but not cold like some other nights here lately. Still, it was especially mild for a late-September night. Laura tells me that it was so warm out today in Kitchener (this is via her parents, of course), that it was actually uncomfortably [...]

I like that conversations between Laura, Louise and I go over like ones between friends and not like an adult to people younger than them. Louise seems to welcome our presence as people she can talk to and hang out with in-between all her regular work and household chores.
I also like that my sister isn’t [...]

Laura and I decided that I need to start a radio station in town so there’s something other than crap to listen to in the car and that she needs to start a dance studio so she can attend dance classes that aren’t for all levels of expertise. I guess she was watching some videos [...]
