Commenting on the weekend

It seems that people are having problems with the comments. I don't really know what's wrong as it seems to be working for me... but if you've made a comment and it didn't show up, send me an email and let me know.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. It looks to be pretty nice out here with a possibility of some rain (which isn't a bad thing considering how dry it is).

Get your haunted walkman and don't see this movie

So Sue and I saw Changing Lanes last night (after a very tasty meal at Earl's). I don't really recommend it. Ben Affleck isn't that great of an actor and the movie just leaves you feeling (blech). There isn't really an antagonist or a protagonist and so when the movie ends, you just feel like nothing's happened.

On a lighter note, check out this auction for a haunted walkman and be sure to scroll down and take in the photo of the walkman in use. (I'm pretty sure it's all a joke.... at least I hope so)

mark wearing a dress?

aybe my contacts need adjusting, but does anyone else think it looks like mark is wearing a dress in this picture?

(this picture snagged from www.realcontact.org

... futuristic cars and learning to play chess ...

misc. stuff from the web: if you've got $25kUS to throw around, you might want to bid on a futuristic car based on a Woody Allen movie ... if that doesn't tickle your fancy, you can learn how to play chess from Screech off of Saved By The Bell ... finally, check out the ongoing tennis matchup (and photoshop contest) between phil and carlos ... see if you can pick out which pics i did and which one phil did :)

Luke... I am your father...

the guy who played Darth Vader apparently doesn't really like the new sw:ep2 movie... but he's more than willing to take a job in ep3. (No kidding... those sc-fi conventions probably don't pay the bills!)

The weather's here, wish you were beautiful...

we've finally managed to get some summer here (27 degrees!) this week. I'm quite happy to be working on the University campus where I can go for slush runs through the bowl when it's so nice out, and can walk through the tunnel when it's howling in winter.

.. of girlfriends and things

just so we don't have another incident like my previous post :), here's what i know about people in relationships:
dating - kevin & luanne, cam & tenielle, lindsay & christine(from uk)
engaged - dana & jason (sept 8?)
definitely available but not necessarily looking - darren
if i've left anyone out, feel free to add them in the comments

I laughed, I cried...

Saw I Am Sam on the weekend. Good show. Again with Kevin & Luanne. More and more couples around us.


But really all this post was for was to check out how additional text looks.

working with mt - woo hoo

.. i manged to get mt working (really the webmaster at the uofs did) so watch for a new blog page coming soon - and i got baptized on sunday evening, about 10 years late ;) ...

won the sw:ep2 battle

... been awhile since i updated - i managed to win the battle to see sw: ep2 and i think everyone enjoyed it as a result. it was pretty sweet to see it on the big silvercity screen with the nice seats after shopping all afternoon ...

Going to Edmonchuck

... going to edmonton this weekend with kevin and luanne - we have to try and convince luanne to see sw:ep2 at the silvercity. she can't stand sci-fi and i can't stand not seeing sw:ep2 in a nice theatre so we'll see what happens. it should be an epic battle ...
