Scott Pilgrim versus the World

I was surprised by this film. Picked it up because it was set and filmed in and around Toronto. But it also blew me away as a fun, funny and totally energetic film!

Walking with Johnnie

Wow - this is worth the 6 minutes to watch. One take! By the way, I've begun switching from Crown and Ginger to Johnnie (or even Jack) and Ginger...

Gorillaz!

Caught the Gorillaz Plastic Beach tour last night! Had fantastic seats to take in the musical/animated spectacle. Awesome tunes, great visuals. Lots of fun!

Catching Up

Wow - things got busy. Here's some random things going on:

- I have an iPad. I think I am the first of us to get one, and that excites me. Dubby was first to Apple, MacBooks and the iPods, Woods was first to the iPhone, so I think that I should get some street cred now. If I can only get my picture with Ben, I will be set.
- Under Armour compression fit garments are awesome.
- Clublinks golf courses have the fastest golf carts.
- There's more homework in grade 2.
- K's dad bought a cottage on Browning Island on Lake Muskoka.

Much to talk about. Hope to catch up soon!

All Mac'ed Up

Well, our household is now completely migrated to Mac. K now uses the 13.3" MacBook Pro as her laptop of choice, and with the new MS Office for Mac boasting full compatibility with the Windows versions, neither of us is lookin' back. And if Rogers ever manages to stock iPhone 4s, we're gonna get 2 of them, too.

Chromeo - Business Casual

This album is like a sweet addiction. Part Jamiroquai and part Hall & Oats.

Sons of Anarchy

A great reco from Woods! This show is fantastic! It has all the things that made the Sopranos great plus Katey Sagal.

Fistful of Mercy

Intrigued for sure...

Whiteboard

I wish I could dominate the whiteboard like this...

Sweet Taurus...

Jimmy Cliff at Massey Hall

Caught Jimmy Cliff at Massey Hall last night. Bought myself tickets for my birthday a few months back so we had stellar seats on the main floor!

I haven't seen the spirit of music personified quite like this. The energy from Cliff is crazy. And so many hits - The Harder They Come, Sittin' In Limbo, I Can See Clearly Now and You Can Get it if You Really Want. And an awesome rasta drum version of Rivers of Babylon.

Man, I still have tingles from Many Rivers to Cross.

Good day sirs!

Thought this was good

Boag's Draught: From The Pure Waters Of Tasmania Full Length (HD!)

Mary & Max

Fantastic film! Not for the kiddies though. This flick has completely restored my faith in animated feature films! It is beautiful.

MBP!

Just dropped the hammer on a new MacBook Pro! They (finally) upgraded these things, so it was time for me to jump. I am getting the 2.4GHz model with the new Intel i5 chip. And antiglare screen.

My current MBP will soon become our home media server. She served me well for almost 4 years. We had some good times. Good times.

Death Come to Town

Check out the stuff I did for The Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town. You can also play table top hockey and even watch the show - Death Comes to Town Official Site

Burned out!

Just finished burning my entire CD collection! Then I sold most of the discs at Sonic Boom except for notable discographies such as The Hip, Ben, Jack, etc. and some nostalgic items such as a limited edition copy of Lowest of the Low's Hallucagenia.

Good bye Smashing Pumkins! Good bye Big Sugar! Good bye some industrial band that I thought might be the next NIN!

Most of the CDs were worth a quarter as a trade in, but I was quite surprised when a few of the discs were worth $5 each but the real surprise was a Tool CD/DVD box set that fetched a cool $40!

Now I am all digital and never looking back!

Daybreakers

Caught Daybreakers last weekend. Really enjoyed it - great concept, good action and some scary vampires/bat/creature things!

The Superbowl was FABulous!

Had to do it. Pic was too funny. Thanks, MSNBC!

Vanessa de Mata & Ben Harper

Very nice song by Vanessa de Mata featuring Ben Harper.

The Hurt Locker

Phenomenal. Really intense, edge-of-your-seat, nerve-wracking, contemporary war flick.

Slip, this is going to be amazing in your new video parlour!

For Dubby

This made me think of Dubby. It's from an art exhibition/gallery doing a tribute to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe...

Avatar

Epic.

Saw Avatar on the weekend in 3D. Wanted to catch it on the IMAX screen, but it was sold out.
