Kids (and apparently dogs) these days have no respect for hard-working cement-pourers who take pride in the smoothness of their sidewalks. This kind of miscreant youth behavior is clearly the result of cursive writing no longer being taught in schools.

Here’s a bunch of mini reviews since I’m a little behind the binge of rentals and lenders we borrowed this week.

Taken – Really Cool – Liam Neeson plays an ex-covert-ops guy who’s daughter is kidnapped. So he basically flies to France and beats -everyone- up. He’s got a great technique, too – mostly walking up [...]

On our bike ride to Parliament Hill (which was AWESOME), Natasha and I discovered Remic Rapids, a little park area right near Parkdale, along the Ottawa River. As we came up over the hill, we saw a big stretch of standing stone statues. Lots of fun!

There were a surprising number of people down there. I’d [...]

I saw the movie Gamer earlier in the week with Ron, John, and Don. If you “ah” the “on” in Jason we all have rhyming names.
Right – so the film was bad. It had some really clever ideas (mostly ripped from Running Man and Smash TV), there were some really oddball amusing scenes (including a [...]

Our game launched this afternoon on Steam, which is great news for all the people (like me) who don’t have an Xbox! The powers that be have launched it at a reduced price for this week only, and you get a guest pass so you can try out multiplayer, which is really the jewel in [...]

I love the sunsets we’ve been getting all week! Lots of great rich colours, so beautiful! Natasha and I keep calling to eachother through the house – “Hey! Look out the window NOW!”
Who needs TV?

I’m eating my way through a basket of delicious ripe peaches this week. Mmmmm. The seasonal nature of fruit never really occured to me before I started making an effort to buy the local stuff, you can get canned and frozen berries all year. This year for some reason I’ve really been anticipating [...]

For our anniversary, Natasha and I followed up on a hot tip from a couple of sources and managed to get in to Atelier Restaurant, which resulted in the singlemost exciting culinary experience that either of us have ever been a part of. I don’t think I can recommend it enough – Chef Marc Lepine [...]
