Film Reel Reviews: Iron Man

Iron Man was a great movie. Plain and simple. 8.5 out of 10. Any questions?

Sporting Goods: Raptors are Doing Great

The first two games of the pre-season have gone amazing for the Toronto Raptors. They won both games and Jermaine O'Neil is looking great so far. Even though he is only playing about 20 minutes a game. He is supposed to be ramping up his minutes to slowly break in his knees. really hope that everyone is healthy this year......for the entire year.

Be sure to watch the season opener which I believe is on October 29th or so.

Travel Patterns: Bus Travel Recap

As I said in an earlier post, I would tell all about the funny things that happened on the bus during my trip back to Kingston. There were four main things that happened during that time on the bus:

1. The bus was completely full and felt like a sardine can.
2. There were a bunch of first year girls on the bus laughing and yelling the entire length of the late running trip.
3. A guy in the back was coughing up a lung and sounded like he some type of contagious disease.
4. Finally, the last and most interesting thing that happened to me was the guy who was sitting beside me was trafficing weed from Kanata to Smith Falls and that is all I could smell the entire way home. The even better part is that he was transporting it in a juice pitcher.

So, please help me understand why I keep riding the bus........

Travel Patterns: Kingston Here I Come

Thanksgiving is almost here and I am heading back to Kingston to spend time with my family and take some rest. Unfortunatly there will not be too much rest done because I have 3 BIG midterm exams next week. I am sure that they will go well.

The only funny thing about all this is that I will be taking the Greyhound to Kingston as usual. I always seem to have funny instances happen to me on the bus so we will see what happens this time.

I will update the blog if anything good happens on my travels.......

Holiday Season is Upon Us: Sony A200K DSLR

I know that this will be my only present for sure if I end up getting this gift but it is definitly the only thing I want this year. It is a Digital SLR camera made by Sony and overall I heard it is one of the best starting SLR's on the market. The one thing I really like about it is that it has the digital stabilizer in the camera rather than the lens as in other models from other companies.

I really can't wait to get it and start practicing because I am going to be the official photographer at my sister's wedding. Should be an interesting time.

Good Eats: Shawarma Palace

I hope that everyone that lives in ottawa has heard of Shawarma Palace but if you have't it is a crying shame. I guess I am lucky that I live about two minutes away but for everyone else, it is surely worth the drive/wait. I have had other shawarma platter/sandwiches in Ottawa and it is by far the best. They always give you huge portions of everything and it all tastes amazing.

I love shawarmas.....until the next one I can only rememeber the taste.

Political Party: Sarah Palin is Pretty Much an Idiot

All I am saying is please watch this greatest hits reel of who the Vice President of the United States could be. I am pretty much scared if she is power the next time I make a visit. She might make me do research on the type of newspapers she reads or who this Putin character actually is.

Hope you have as good of a laugh as I did.

Green Planet: Tesla Motors Electric Car

So I watched the documentary named "Who Killed the Electric Car?" this weekend and spurred me on to look further into new cars that are out there. Tesla Motors is actually a company that was started by the founder of PayPal with his own money. This car is an amazing sports car that is only driven by electricity. Even though it is over $100,000 it is a great car that has great mileage and even better speed.

I suggest you take a look at it because they already have a waiting list and they are looking into a bright future in the technology of cars.
