Demand Boondock Saints 2!

I'm not impressed that the Boondock Saints 2 is not coming to Thunder Bay. But I stumbled on Sean Patrick Flanery's Official site, which has a link where you can Demand that Boondock Saints 2 comes to your city. I posted it on Facebook, and I'm posting it here. If you loved the first one, Demand Boondock Saints 2 comes to Thunder Bay. And if you haven't seen the first movie, go watch it, and then Demand the 2nd one comes here!





You can click on the Demand It! button at the end of this post. It will take you to the site.

Phone Pics!


Today I decided to post a couple of pics to Flickr that I took using my cell phone. These are pics I took when I didn't have my camera handy. They're all pretty random but they make me laugh!
Unfortunately, the camera in my cell phone isn't that great, so the quality of these images isn't very good when they are larger. I also attempted to fix up the image of Sasha - it looked really bad on the computer screen.

An Overdue Update

School has kept me extremely busy, so I've been neglecting things like my blogs. Well, my personal blogs for fun. I had to start a blog for a class, so that one has gotten all of my attention lately (you can check it out here if you're interested).

Besides school, I got a new laptop and Halo ODST in September. My old laptop has given me tons of problems over the years, like the battery dying (and if I hadn't removed it, the battery would have eventually killed the laptop). The newest problem was that a purple vertical line appeared down the left side of the screen. If you want to see what I'm talking about, check out this page. Apparently this was a common problem with the HP ZD8000 laptop. I decided that this was the last straw, so I went out and bought a new laptop. The new one is an Acer. It's a million times quieter and cooler than the ZD8000, and also a lot faster. I'm still getting used to the keyboard (it's not as sensitive as the ZD8000's was when it worked properly), but so far I'm liking it.

Halo ODST is another thing I'm liking. I preordered it in the summer, and was counting down the days until it was released. Luckily it didn't disappoint. I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like (school is keeping me very busy) but I'm enjoying it. The campaign is a bit off - it's not as bad as Halo 2, but not as good as Halo 1 and 3. But once you play through it, you unlock the entire New Mombasa Streets, which is a lot of fun to wander around in. And the multiplayer is fun too. You battle with up to three friends against waves of enemies, instead of gainst other players. It's really tough, but great fun.

I also went to see Streetlight Manifesto in Toronto back in September. They were amazing! You can check out the pics on flickr!

The one thing I'm sad about is my lack of time to write. I wrote a quick poem on Apocalypse Madness for last month's quote, but missed writing for the September quote. I got to post this month's quote, and I'm really hoping I'll have time to write a couple of stories for it. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak some writing time in during the end of next week when I should have a bit of time.
