Finally got a chance to watch this movie and I phreakin' loved it! I knew I would. It's based on one of my favorite book's, Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I believe he was also a part of making the movie as well. It's a fantasy movie filled with magic, spells and witches. I was extremely entertained by their underlying humor throughout the film and I especially liked Robert Di Niro's character "Captain Shakespeare". I found him quite fun. Overall this is a FEEL GOOD movie, a different kind of love story. A must watch for all who enjoy this genre of film!!!
I wanted to share one of my favorite bands with you all...and this song. Kind of how I've been feeling lately. A combination of things but all pretty normal I think. I know we all go through this stuff. Here's to getting out of it sooner than later though.
Plumb has some great songs. You should really check more of them out. *s*
I just finished watching this show and I have to say I quite liked it! The character Juno is very interesting and she had me snickering throughout the movie. Anytime my friends would mention the show they always said I have to see it. Well I finally did and I'm glad. Too many times you watch a movie and at the end go "What the hell was that"? I highly recommend this if you are one of the few that hasn't had a chance to see it. It's one of those warm fuzzies. *s*
You know it ain't half bad when Simon seems to like it. *s*
At Dell, the guys on my team seemed to have some type of board game going those last few months till close. Although I didn't play at work...I so wanted to. So I finally got a chance to play last night. I invited some peeps over and they brought some games. Now these games are not sold at Walmart or ToysRus. These types of games can be found more at a Hobby Shop or comic store. I am completely hooked! These are the ones I really liked and will probably be buying for my own collection. Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride. Very entertaining indeed and I even think that my gal will like them! Time will tell. *s* Anyone else interested in some different games? Contact me and I'll hook ya up! As a side note, the new coffee table turned out to be a GREAT games board.Count sheep | 0 (0%) |

So I did the unthinkable today. I stood in line at Best Buy for 30 minutes in the rain waiting for them to open. Waiting to get my fat little paws on the new Wii Fit! I was successful in my mission. There were about 90 on hand and I'd say there were about 50 people in line. Now, here's something that was VERY apparent. This was not a hard core gamers line up. Instead about 90% of the people desperately wanting to get their hands on one were suburban mature women! I actually had to snicker to myself. Man, did Nintendo get it right. Quietly lurking in the background for the last few years...they have struck with vengeance in the market for consumers money! Albeit Xbox and Playstation have a very different following but one that really isn't growing. Nintendo has managed to tap into a market that has been untouched. From 6 year old kids to 75 year old grandpa's, everyone is playing, talking about and most importantly...buying everything Wii.This is one of my all time favorite movies. It was made in 1964 so I saw it a little later on. *s* I just fell in love with Crusty, Henry's trusted sidekick. Considering when this movie was made it sure had some pretty leading edge animation incorporated! Ah, these gems don't come around every day! Worth a watch...yes, I'm for real.
PS: I ordered the dvd a few years back. Let me know if you want to borrow it. :-P

Speaking of getting fit. Wii Fit will be launched tomorrow. I didn't pre-order (can't seem to bother with this for some reason) so time will tell if we have it sooner than later. If anyone knows me at all than you know that I am addicted to my Nintendo Wii. Since we got this thing we have accumulated quite a collection of games and accessories. It's getting to be a bit of a challenge storing all of this and still have the place look like a grown up lives here! With Wii Rock Band coming out in June, I am going to really have to think about where those damn drums are going to be stored!!! Our tiny one bedroom condo only has so many hiding places. Will that stop me? Hell no...I'll be happily slamming on those drums soon enough. *s* So far the bulk of Wii stuff fits into two drawers in the tv stand. I have the DDR mat and two guitar hero guitars elsewhere.
Getting in shape doesn't always have to seem like work. That's why we picked this puppy up today for the lovely price of $19.99 at Sportchek. I am really trying to stay motivated at being more active and of course...eating better. Now that summers here we can pop down to the ball diamond that's kitty corner to our high rise condo here and play some badminton or volleyball! That's one BIG yard that I don't have to weed or mow. I love it! *s* We actually have two good badminton racquet's but we needed a net. This little kit had everything and the price was right. Can't wait to try it out but it may not be tonight. We are still so sore from our killer stairs workout on Saturday. I think lunging for a shuttlecock may be asking too much at this point.
So at Edmonton Center on Friday I happened to see the new uniforms our athletes will be wearing at the Beijing Olympics. OMG, can you say nasty? Since when did fashion design have anything to do with sports? Oh ya...ever since big businesses realized there was a huge potential for money in it. I'd have to agree with my friend Tan though. They should have left Roots in charge of designing the attire. At least back then there was a good chance I might pick up the odd overly priced piece of clothing. With this years lot though...absolutely forget it. My money is going to stay in my pocket!
We were walking up to Edmonton Center today and we passed an accident on the hill in front of our place. The guy on the motorcycle seemed fine but he did have some serious road rash. Ouch! He's the guy in the white T-shirt sitting on the railing.
Wandered over to Churchill Square last night and the Oilers had a Guitar Hero booth open with two Sony Playstations to rock it out on. We just had to stop and I just HAD to whip out my cell phone to grab a shot when I noticed the pimped out guitars! Sweetness I tell ya!
I can assure you that with my adventure today with Old Man Jasper...he does NOT like water like this cat. It was a disastrous mess and I was covered with wet cat from head to toe. It would have been so much easier if he would have frolicked around like this little guy. *sigh*
Who ever said getting into shape was fun is off their rocker. Tonight I went for a walk and finally did a set of stairs I've been avoiding for the entire time we've lived here. That's 7+ years! The last few years I have put on a few pounds so I have to do stairs like this as well as eat a balanced diet to get back to my old...somewhat self. *sigh* This is not, and will not be the "fun part". I did manage to climb the 201 stairs but boy was there some burning going on. Plus I sprained my ankle a bit earlier in the day. I had met a friend for coffee downtown. Afterwards I was walking home and took a header big time. Rolled my ankle and popped back up again asap. My ego was bruised enough. I didn't need any senior citizens helping me up while I whined in pain.Coffee - there is no other choice | 2 (33%) |

Walked up again tonight. Needed more bananas! We walked by the already made soup section and one of the pots going was Smoked Salmon Potato soup. Two of which are Red's favorites but she just walked on by because we had already eaten supper. I said are you crazy??? I made her by a bowl for work tomorrow. She had to try it when we got home here and she just about died it was so good I guess. I refuse to have it. It's got fish in it! So if you're hungry I recommend the soup! A good size bowl and bun for $2.79.
This looked too good at Sobeys yesterday so we just had to pick some up despite the price. I had some today toasted with butter. Can you say Mmm Mmm good???

Although I've been quite sick on my trip here in Kitimat I did happen to play a bit of our new game here. I used it with the Wii Zapper in the arcade mode which acts like a rail shooter type game. That's where the game does the actual moving for you. Just the kind of thing I like...just point and shoot some bad guys. If you like shooting things there is nothing wrong with this game. It's not exactly as "simple" as other rail shooters I've played. For example Ghost Squad is really just point and shoot. Medal of Honor gets you a bit more involved with the Nunchuk by making you utilize the zoom function for certain areas of the game. It's still fairly easy for people that just want to pick up a game and shoot stuff but you have to keep your eye on your health or you'll be starting over. I of course, had to start a few times but did manage to clear a few stages thus far. There is unlimited ammo in the arcade mode but I would imagine this is not the case if you were going through the adventure part of it. All in all, this is a good war game. I find the graphics pretty good as well for the Nintendo Wii. Two thumbs up.
We went to Terrace yesterday and saw a bear at the side of the road. My brother stopped so I could get some pictures but I was so excited I only got some blurry shots. :-( Than a big rig went by and scared the bear back in the bush. Red and I have seen a TON of animals on this trip and this was our second bear siting. Must be that it's spring time and they are moving around alot.
