Remember when you used to make fun of your parents because they would be limping around after going for a hike or playing slo-pitch? Well apparently I have just hit this age.
I have been fighting a cold for the past week or so. So....
Safety Not Guaranteed - 9.2/10
Excision - 7.9/10 (One of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. You have been warned!)
Amazing Spiderman - 7.5/10
Blade Runner - 9.6/10
Red State - 6.8/10
I won the stock option award through work. Basically each store nominates one or two people per store that they believe are valuable to the stores success. I was nominated and received the award.
I also just passed 10 million dollars in sales for my career as well. This is it for the self pats on the back.
The Trews are playing an acoustic set at the Starlight lounge in Waterloo for those that like the Trews.
Red Stripe is my beer of choice recently. You can't really go wrong with the stubby beers.
When I go to a live concert my focus always seems to gravitate towards the drummer every time. I find their ability to keep the beat and steer the music the way that it needs to be steered is amazing.
Javex does look like it would be tasty to drink. They need to make things that shouldn't be drank black in colour. No drink that I have ever seen was black in colour. I think I might have had an alcoholic drink that was black.. I am pretty sure that it didn't do anything good for me either.
I still believe that there will be a NHL season.
Going to the ROM (Toronto Museum) this coming Friday. They serve booze and have music playing in certain sections after hours at the ROM on Fridays. Also the dinosaurs come alive, and Robin Williams comes out of the shadows slurring his words with his Patch Adams outfit on.
Would you rather have a Double Down from KFC or 4 pizza pockets? They have the exact same amount of sodium.
Have
they started having a mandatory food nutrition class in public or high
school? If they haven't they should start. When I was a kid I had no
idea what was good for and what was bad. I figured that Zoodles were
good for because it was pasta.
Dave's Tea is a place in Waterloo. This tea shop allows you to smell the tea, and gives you recommendations on teas if you are sick, tired, or want to mellow out. This place is extremely hipster and doesn't appreciate when you sneeze after smelling a tea.
I don't know one person that puts a bumper sticker on their car. But I see bumper stickers on so many cars when I am driving. Who are these people?
I am still not sold on Twitter.
Are you the chronic liker on Facebook? Are you also the chronic liker that likes everything that females do, and you are a dude? You know who you are. Stop it!!

So you play a 162 game season. Then have a 5 game first round playoff. (I actually like the winner take all wild card. It puts a huge emphasis on winning the division.) If you have an ace, he gets to pitch 2 of the 5 games. I am bias of course because of the A's, but having to face Justin Verlander twice seems almost impossible. You have to win every other game he doesn't pitch. Make it a seven game series and see who comes out on top. If you can AFFORD an ace you have a terrific shot of making it to the next round. Do you think the Yanks or Tigers would have won if it was 7 games instead of 5? It makes a big difference when you have Sabathia or Verlander going instead of Fister or Kuroda.
I am all for taste testings within supermarkets, but Walmart had a taste testing for no name coca cola. "This no name coke would go well with a nice old cheddar cheese dear."
Expendables 2 - 8.0/10
We have a new BBQ restaurant right near our place. They make a tremendous pulled pork sandwich. There is nothing that smells better then a place that serves pulled pork covered with BBQ sauce.
Did you know that there is a professional mini golf tour? We played at the best mini golf course in the States and there were people out there with multiple putters and their own golf balls. The grand prize was $4,000. Finally something lamer then being a professional bowler.
So people don't hike in Myrtle Beach. We didn't see one person on any of the trails that we did over the weekend. It looked like we saw a scene from a horror movie. There was a smoldering fire, and all their stuff was lying all over the place, but no people around.
Really dug the first Arrow episode. It did seem like a rip off of the Batman story line, but overall it was well done.
Sara is gone for the next couple of days to a conference. I will be putting the slow cooker to use I believe. Maybe some spicy tacos will be in store.
Sometimes I get the words "exotic" and "erotic" mixed up when I am talking. Erotic cheeses mean something completely different, and yet I don't know what it is.
People seem to enjoy posting pictures and comments about the events that their at, rather then actually enjoying the event that their at.
If you really know a topic you can tell if somebody knows just the bare minimum to have a conversation with you. I hate having conversations with people like this. You have no input, you are just spewing off something you heard from someone else.
Got a smoking deal in Niagara. Tastings at 3 breweries and 2 wineries for $35.00 each. They also pick you up from the hotel and drive you around. That might be the best part about it.
Still no hockey, I actually think they will get a deal done, but they need to be careful. Fans in the mediocre NHL markets might be a tough sell to comeback.
Oktoberfest is my worst nightmare. Polka music, terrible sausage, and out of control drunk University students. Even when I was in College I hated it. I tried to like it because I love beer so much, but you can only dance to the Chicken Dance so much.
Did you know that their was a product that was marketed as a mustache fixer? You wore it while you ate to make sure you didn't get food in your mustache.
Watched an interesting documentary about hyper active parents that are causing their children to not be able to make it in the real world. They have had everything done for them their entire life. I see this all the time when I am selling computers. I try to talk to the student about what they are going to be using the computer for and the parents answer every question for them.
There are a bunch of rip offs of American Horror Story that have come out recently. They all stink, it's hard to make something frightening when you have a ghost of the week story.
Halloween is right around the corner. There is nothing sexy about a zombie women. And if you do think there is something sexy about a zombie you should do some more research.

Went for a nice hike at the Hilton Falls, right near Milton. Really like the walk. They have an area where there is a fire going and you can roast marshmellows or cook hotdogs. We went to Rattlesnake point a couple of weeks ago as well which is a little more of a challenge. Especially when you walk in high heels. What you thinking girl?
Saw Grizzly Bear this past week as Massey Hall. Can't believe I haven't seen a concert there before. What a terrific venue, with not a bad seat in the house.
Going to Myrtle Beach this coming weekend for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to the beautiful and ridiculous mini golf courses that are in abundance. There are a couple of courses that have fire works when you sink a hole in one.
Dredd - 8.5/10
That's My Boy - 5.7/10
When I think of Winter I think of Guinness, slow cookers, and red wine. I used to think of hockey.
The following shows need to hang them up.
- How I met your Mother
- Big Bang Theory
- True Blood
That is all.
Dinosaur Jr. came out with a new album recently, how are these guys still around? And how are they still really good?
Dodgeball league, bowling league and, Spanish lessons are on the docket for things to do in winter this year.
The worst Halloween costume I have ever seen is somebody dressed as the shocker. I am not referring to the movie.
I Mother Earth is rocking Oktoberfest this year. The last time I was at Oktoberfest we went to see Sloan, a bigger girl kept on falling down on the dance floor, while wearing a skirt of course, in front of our table We also had some dude spilling multiple drinks on our table. We decided to move tables, he came over to that table after because his table was too sticky and promptly spilled his rye and coke on that table as well. The same dude kept yelling for Sloan to play Motor City Mayhem. If you know anything about Sloan you will know that their main song is Money City Maniacs.
Movember is just around the corner. Ladies this will be your one and only warning.
Watching stand up goalies now on the highlights entertains me. How did they think this was a better way to goaltend then the current butterfly way?
You always know what a guy is going to be like if his name is Blaine or Chip.
Drinking off of a plate is harder then it looks.
Stop giving me a stupid phone book. You should have to call a phone number on your rotary phone if you still require a phone book to be delivered to your house. Why don't you call the milk man and paperboy at the same time?
Hipsters are getting uncomfortably close to my style of clothing and music. Stick to your deck shoes and your Mumford and Sons cd's and we can stay friends.
