For those that are fans of the Stargate series. They are auctioning off props from both Atlantis and SG1 on ebay.

Remember the Seinfeld epiosode when Elaine was trying to decide who was sponge worthy? I have a different problem, I need to know what bands are vinyl worthy.

There are so many different concerts coming up over the next few months. Here's the list of the ones I will 100% be going to. Spoon, Electric Six, Bear in Heaven, The National, and Caribou.

Saw the first episode fo Spartacus on TMN. Pretty decent, a little over the top, but I think they are going for a "300" type feel.

So Mr. Favre choked at the end of the game against the Saints. I would have preferred seeing Favre play against Peyton Manning though, that would have made a very good story line.

Watched "Donnie Darko" again, didn't realize that Seth Rogen was in the movie until I re-watched it. He played a big douche bag type character.

For those that thought making a green screen would be tough. Well using imovie '09 makes it almost stupidly easy. Sara used green construction paper with some lighting that cost about $20.00 in total and it turned out fantastic.

Best collectible, beer mugs, nothing beats it.

Top 3 Hockey Team Symbols

3 - Boston Bruins
2 - New York Islanders
1 - Chicago Blackhawks

Steamwhistle brewery tour is still something that I haven't participated in that I really want to check out.

Super Mario Brothers is going to bring back the side scrolling style game. We sell out of it at the shop consistently. New Contra and new Mega Man will hopefully be on it's way.

I would enjoy UFC much more if they had Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat type powers. If somebody could make electricity come out of his body that would make it worth watching.
As of right now it's a little too much hugging on the ground by two oiled down muscle dudes.

Sony PS3 or XBOX 360 - If you enjoy playing sports games and don't care about the bluray aspect. Then the 360. If you need the bluray player and you enjoy the first person shooter and graphic oriented games then get the PS3.

Booster Juice best cure for a hangover.

Other then the Packers/Cards game this has been the worst NFL playoffs I've watched in quite some time.

Body Worlds exhibit was good. While walking through the exhibit you forget that those are actual dead bodies. When you think about that it's kind of gross.

Seeing the black lung was probably the most interesting thing. To see a smokers lung compared to a non-smoker lung was eye opening.

Should I just take my Ipod touch to Italy, and download some games on it? Or should I take my Nintendo DS?

Finally figured out why my record player hasn't been working properly on my stereo. HK receivers don't have phono so you need a pre-amp to make it sound proper.

Made a wicked curried chicken meal last weekend.

6 chicken breasts
2 cups of sour cream
1 large jar of salsa
2 tbsp of curry powder

slow cook it for 6 hours, have the sauce over rice. Fantastique!!

Travelzoo has some crazy deals on this week for those that are looking for a Vegas, Florida, or Atlantic City getaway.

Golden Globes were good. For those that didn't like Ricky Gervais. Go back to your regularly scheduled Two and a Half Men episode.

Chuck is back on TV. For those that don't know what this show is. Basically he works for a geek squad type thing, but gets implanted with an imprint that makes him flash when he sees something suspicious. He then has to go into spy mode. Very entertaining, with tongue in cheek type action.

Top 3 make you feel as though you have 3 brain cells reality tv shows.

3 - I Love Money
2 - Charm School
1 - Rock of Love with Bret Michaels

Jersey Shore might be on this list, but I can't bring myself to watch it. Also there are a thousand different blank of love shows that would make this list, but I only chose one.

The old Ozzy Osbourne died for me right after making the "No More Tears" album. This is just a weekend at bernies movie with his family using him for whatever purpose they like.

"Lovesick Teenagers " by Bear in Heaven is currently my favourite song, I find it similar to Depeche Mode.

"Boobies" is still a good word after all these years.

Dallas +2.5 over the Vikings
Indy -6 over the Ravens
Chargers -7 over the Jets

Not touching the Cards/Saints game.

Spoon is playing in TO in March. Great rock band. You should check them out if you enjoy Foo Fighters.

I always feel a little dumber after I have listened to country music for any amount of time. One of my favorite lyrics lately has been "put me to bed cause I'm a little drunk." Yup those lyrics really make you think.

Spartan apples are still the best.

American Idol is back. How many times can they say "you are the worst contestant we've ever had?" or, "you are a front runner in this competition." It's like watching the sports highlights from 7am to 12pm. It's the same stuff just put a little differently.

Top 3 current sitcoms

3 - Better off Ted
2 - How I met your mother
1 - Modern Family

The Hurt Locker (for those that don't know it's the front runner for best picture)

8.7/10

Jeremy Renner who's the star of the movie got started out in one of my favorite National Lampoons movies. "Senior Trip," ridiculously bad comedy that also stars Tommy Chong.

How long could you last living the life of Jim Morrison? My over under for myself would be 3 months.

If a band came out with a sound of the organ like the doors had in their music I think they could make it sound current. The only era that will have a hard time making a comeback is the bad 80's music. Just can't see a Corey Hart wannabe making it big again.

Guilty pleasure, Phil Collins

Having a cell phone has made things a lot easier recently. One of the reasons that I hated having a cell phone was the small talk part. Now with texting it's just get to the point.

Flyers lost to the Leafs last night. I hate to say it Leaf fans, but you guys are years away from anything productive. I find it pathetic that a lot of players want to play in this city and you still have terrible teams year after year.

Debating cutting the hair a little shorter, nothing too drastic, but sometimes when I come into work it looks like I've just crawled out of a ditch.

There is no real difference between +/- R blank DVD's so stop asking.

I'm sick today, eating crappy M&M Meatshop food usually does this to me, but not to the extent of actually having to call in sick.

Electric 6 is coming to Waterloo, they are a very fun live band to see. The lead singer does push ups and sit ups while singing. You might not recognize the band, but they sing the song on the Subaru commercial with the sumo wrestlers washing cars.

Is it just me or is all the diet stuff getting ridiculous. I heard on XM radio the other day of a diet where basically all you eat is cookies for breakfast and lunch. I am sure this is an extremely healthy diet. I also saw this mouthpiece thing that makes you eat less food, and chew the food more so it's easily digested. What are we friggin' dogs?

The Packers were eliminated last night in one of the best games of football that I have ever seen. Aaron Rodgers and Kurt Warner put on a clinic at the QB position.

I just found out yesterday that there has never been a female best director for an Oscar. I find this very disturbing. This is the industry that is supposed to be ahead of the curve of women and men equalization.

The kid that defected from Cuba to play baseball in North America signed in Cincinnati. I thought there might be a chance that he would sign in Toronto, but once again were snubbed. He throws 100mph and would have brought some fans back.

Italy is coming up sooner and sooner. Apparently people dress very well there, so there will be no Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin T-shirts brought in the suit case.

Revolutionary Road - 8.3/10

Don't watch it though if you find yourself bored by movies with too much dialogue.

I am nervous to see Avatar. The anticipation has been built up by each person that I have respect for in their movie reviews. Everyone tells me that it's mind blowing.

Check out the new album by "Real Estate" if you enjoy my kind of music.

Top 3 playoff games that I have watched.

3 - New England vs New York Giants (Superbowl 2 years ago)
2 - Atlanta Falcons vs Minnesota Vikings (1999)
1 - Green Bay Packers vs Denver Broncos (1998)

I am sitting near dead last in my hockey pool. This used to be my bread and butter sport for knowledge. Now the older I get the more I am losing interest in it. Don't get me wrong I will still watch the Flyers when they're on TV, but if there is any NFL game on instead I will watch that over a hockey game.

Going to see the "Body Works" exhibit this coming weekend, most people have said its very interesting. I prefer to be kept in the dark of what it's exactly about so I can go in and be surprised.

Cooked a roast the other day for the first time in my life. Worked out pretty well. I think I need to add more red wine to it next time to keep it juicier.

Juicier is a terrible word, but I couldn't think of another one that was suitable.

Why isn't all fruit sold without seeds. I don't think I know anyone that actually enjoy seeds.

So Sandra Bullock is getting hotter with age. She joins Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie in this phenomenon.

So the juniors lost to the US in the finals, of the game that I watched they were thoroughly outplayed.

Sara is back from her vacation safe and sound. Her flight was delayed due to one of the stewardess being late, then the pilot couldn't go over a certain amount of hours due to union laws. So her flight got in around 3am. Needless to say Daryl was a bit grumpy.

Recipe for those that enjoy cooking. Chicken Breast topped with peppercorns, stir-fry thai spice, and fresh garlic. Put it into the oven for about 35-40 min at 425. Fantastic!!

Everytime I watch a James Bond movie I fall asleep. There is something wrong with that.

Apparently divorces were down this year. I believe that this is because of internet dating. You can almost shop for your significant other. Where back in the day you had to meet them by chance.

I really wish that EA Sports was allowed to make baseball games again. They monopolized football, with only them being allowed to make a NFL game (Madden) so baseball took the rights away from them, but they were the only one that knew how to make a good baseball video game.

Top 3 Concerts (This is of concerts that I obviously have attended myself)

3 - My Morning Jacket
2 - Black Sabbath
1 - Caribou

Robin Williams, John Travolta, and Martin Lawrence - everything you have made in the last 10 years is awful. Stop making movies.

I wonder if Glee clubs will become more popular now in high school due to the rise of the show "Glee."

Green Bay Packers vs. San Diego Chargers superbowl.

Fake tanning and smoking - two things that people do to themselves that have absolutely no positive effect.
