I haven’t watched many movies in the past couple weeks, but here are the ones I remembered to comment on. I recommend Death at a Funeral. It reminds a little of Faulty Towers.
Deep Water — I’m slowly losing my taste for films about people who do adventurous but stupid things (e.g., Grizzly Man, Into [...]

I’m taking our 14 year old cat (the black and white one) to the veterinarian in about an hour to be euthanized. She never was a friendly cat, but she’s become worse the past year: swiping at our other cat and anyone who gets to close to her; not using the litter box regularly; isolating [...]

The phone rang around 7am. I was just waking up. It’s one of my wife’s friends: her basement is flooding from a water leak near her clothes washer and she doesn’t know what to do.
“There should be two pipes leading to the washer,” I say. “One for hot water, one for cold. [...]

My brother, Phillip, went snow shoeing up a mountain in Newfoundland on March 23rd, 2008. He recorded the adventure using the video function on his digital camera.
He took some photos too.
Watch the video to find out why Phillip isn’t posting this himself.

I normally don’t give a fuck about my birthday; I’m not one to care about celebrating it or receiving gifts; however, this year’s birthday is beginning to turn into an event: emails from relatives I normally never hear from, a party with balloons and streamers (for the kids more than anyone), lots of gifts…
Turning 40 [...]

I was surprised to discover this worked for me:
Concentrate on the 4 small dots in the middle of the image for about 30 seconds.
Turn away and look at a smooth, blank surface, like a wall.
Wait a few seconds and spots of light and shadowy shapes should appear.
A familiar image should appear.
Don’t click the following until [...]

A friend’s dad used to make dentures or something. He collected teeth. Lots of teeth.
They’re probably worth something on e-bay.

I opened a dusty bottle of Ardbeg today. It’s been sitting on my shelf for a few years.
The aroma was divine. Swirling it around in the small glass brought forth fragrances of peat, iodine, and citrus; and then a splash of water…
Moments like that I’d prefer to share with a fellow scotch lover.

I haven’t had much time to watch movies for the past two weeks. I enjoyed all these movies, though, including Woody Allen’s Small Time Crooks which will have to wait until next time.
The Bank Job — Not a great heist movie but good enough. It follows the basic formula and it works. There are [...]

As I posted about previously, this week’s episode of CBC Radio’s Spark includes an audio clip from the (now) famous Cauliflower Popcorn video.
You can listen to the full episode via the mp3 they make available. You can hear me around the 7:20 minute mark and during the credits at the end. The [...]

I’m probably the only one here who remembers the TV show, Big John, Little John. Weird to see it on YouTube.
Now if I could only remember the name of the show about a dune buggy that can fly. Anyone remember that show? That’s another one I’ve had memories of for 30 years that no one [...]

I reduxed my crazy painting from January. I was hoping to paint something new every weekend, but I haven’t painted anything since. That may not be a bad thing. (Click image to enlarge.)

You cannot touch all your teeth with your tongue.
All idiots, after reading the first truth, will try it.
The first truth is a lie.
You’re smiling now because you’re an idiot.
You soon will forward this to another idiot.
There’s still a stupid smile on your face.
I’d change #5 slightly:
You soon will forward this to another idiot [...]
