felicity and i were going to go snowboarding on sunday night at blue mountain, it's how we spend most of our sunday nights in the winter. but after a short time spent outside on sunday afternoon, i (the lover of winter) decided it was too damn cold to go to blue. the wind there can get really strong, so the -20 C quickly feels like -30 C.
So we stayed home and rented a movie from RogersOnDemand. It a great service that comes with a digital cable box, plus you can rent HD movie. Why buy a very expensive BlueRay player?!?!?!?
So we rented "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". It's a romantic-comedy, girl breaks-up with guy, guy takes a vacation to drowned his sorrows, girl takes the same vacation with new boyfriend, laughter ensues. WARNING: this movie is really really .... really slow. the pacing of the scenes and the movie in general was at a snails pace. also, there was no sound-track. a staple of the romantic-comedy is a sound-track of current and classic hit pop songs. FSM did not have a single song in the whole movie ... it was weird. and the icing on the cake, full-frontal male nudity ... of the lead actor ...... three times. dicks can be funny, but this was just jarring. on the better side it did have some funny moments and the "dracula puppet rock-opera" at the end was killer funny.

she's finally all mine
after five years of monthly payments my car is mine. today i made the last payment to vw financial. it feels AWESOME. the car has taken me to many places, montreal, mt. tremblant, detroit, and many cottage weekends. i've put about 175,000 km on the car in the last five years, that 4.5 times around the equator, so i've spent a lot of time in that drivers seat. to the short list of people to drive my car (dave d., dave g., ben, felicity) she would like to thank you for the good times. and to my car, may you live for many many more years. happy fifth birthday.
