My wife made love to a Canadian guy today.
I’m still deciding how that makes me feel.

We just saw Nacho Libre. Gold! Pure gold.

Saw Superman Returns last night. Let me preface my opinion of it by saying that I had very low expectations for this movie; the trailer really turned me off. That said… I thought it was pretty good. The story was decent and mostly in fitting with previous Superman big screen adventures. The flick was well cast, especially Brandon Routh, who I felt did a really really good job. The special effects were second to none, and I saw it in IMAX 3D. Like seriously… no matte lines around anything… no CG rubber bodies… (that I could see at least).

Go see both. They fail to disappoint.

I think I’m too busy to blog.

This is official notice that for the forseeable future, I make no commitment to blogging regularly. I’ll still try, and maybe now that I’ve said I won’t, I will… but there you have it.

While you wait, listen to cool cool sounds of Missionaries in Position.

I hit up Metropolis Records today for some records, and am considering never shopping there again. Their record selection has really become quite hopeless, especially when it comes to trance.

I went birthday shopping for Maija at Billabong, and picked her up a “tasty” bra from Condom Shack (think, candy necklace… aaaahahahah). Then met up with her at the mighty Toronto Reference Library.

I want to write about thought provoking things again. I’m thinking about a lot of interesting things (well, I find them interesting), but I seem to be having trouble getting those thoughts onto web-enabled paper.

Recent thoughts:
- Glad Steven Harper is keeping troops in Afghanland.
- Wondering what impact the tax cuts will have on prices of products, and on tax refunds. Would you rather pay more tax during the year, but get more back later? Or have more money during the year… more money of course being the extra 4 cents you’ll get to keep.
- Speaking of 4 cents, the TTC are losers for only giving a $4 credit on new bus passes, due to the recent strike. I thought people really over-reacted to that, and was amazed at the naivete of certain radio personalities (they couldn’t understand how people weren’t aware it would happen – excuse me, you work for the radio, it’s your job to be informed. Shut up).
- Al-Zarqawi’s been killed. Seems like a good thing to me, but how many kids was he idol to, that will now step up?
- The ceasefire between Israel & Palestine has broken, just for a change…

I’ve come down with a sore throat. I think it’s mostly due to working too hard and not sleeping enough, but the smoggy strange weather we’re having could have helped also.

So, that leaves me sitting at home in my pajamas playing on my new Xbox 360. It’s pretty flippin awesome. I can plug my iPod into it and listen to alls my muzic, I can plug in the digital camera and view all of our Montreal pictures. When networked with my desktop PC, I can stream pictures and music from my computer to the Xbox. It’s got USB ports for connectivity, so the wired controllers can also be plugged into your PC, or potentially, your PS3.

The Xbox Live Arcade is the sweetness. Right now I’m downloading a bunch of old games to play. You purchase Microsoft Points which you can then cash in to buy games, and skins. It’s a little hurting on my slow slow internet, but I’m thinking of upgrading my Rogers service.

How can I afford to upgrade, you might ask. Well, I’ve been offered an exciting new job! I shan’t say anymore about it until it’s either confirmed or negated, but it’s a great position, with a good team, making some “serious mullah with Uncle Rico.” In any case, I will still be putting work in at TACF, so don’t panic friendly TACF employees.

I had quite an enjoyable birthday celebration on the weekend. Dad flew in from New Brunswick for the occasion. Sunday night saw a bunch of go out to Panorama Lounge for drinks. No wait, Panorama was booked, for a wedding. So we went round to Hemingways who told us there was no way we were getting in. Thankfully, Remy’s saved the day and we all got to eat, drink and be merry, afterall.

Also, the new TACF webstore launched this week. It’s been a nightmarish process, but it’s finally beginning to ease up. Well, ease up for me at least, not for those poor souls taking the phone calls.
