This past weekend the Olympics had an amazing wrap up. Not only did Canada get the most gold medal ever won by a country in the winter Olympics but we beat the US in the gold medal game for hockey! That was one, seriously, intense game. I was glued to the television for the whole… […]
I am not a huge sports fan. I prefer to play than watch. I used to be on a team which made it a natural step to watch the games as well. I was into basketball and baseball but strikes, scandals, and continuous loses ruined the sports for me. Every once in a while I… […]
After last week’s frivolousness at the movie theatre I thought it best to watch something of substance this week. I needed to watch something that wasn’t so packed with cheese that it may induce a heart attack. Something that made the mind work and wasn’t just filler. I needed to watch a film not a… […]
This weekend was very busy. Not just for me but all over the place. Friday was the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. I am glad they are finally here because I don’t know how much longer I would have been able to take those “Believe†commercials on CTV. Gaw, we get it. Then it… […]
If you don’t know, even after the barrage of sickeningly sweet sentimental commercials for jewellery, flowers, and chocolate on tv and the pink and red decorations of hearts and Cupid that have adorned the malls since 2 days before Christmas, Sunday is Valentine’s Day.

It is February. The days are cold, the sun is shining, and no one care what is in the theatre. It is a dumping ground for cinematic crap. The movies of the month are just filler while all the good stuff is being made or winning awards and that is why I got stuck seeing… […]
Even though I have been complaining how I am bored and have nothing to do besides job hunt I have been managing to keep myself somewhat busy. I haven’t made any jewellery in a while (the metal and beads aren’t speaking to me) but I have started writing again, doing some calculus (Cory still thinks… […]
On Friday I ventured out into the cold and saw Edge of Darkness. This is the first movie that Mel Gibson has acted in in about 5 years and he hadn’t directed anything since 2006s Apocalypto. He stepped out of the spotlight after his alcoholism got out of control and he made those anti-Semitic comments… […]
This morning as usual I got up, turned on the radio and listened to the entertaining prattle that is morning radio. It is a mix of talk, music and general nonsense that I find I enjoy. That is usually the only time of day I listen to the radio because there is no need to… […]
