Raptors vs purple dudes

Video Blog

Molly scored some free tickets from work, so we came here to the ACC to watch the Raptors play against the Kings… or as I referred to them, the "purple dudes". Shortly after this video, people went bananas for free t-shirts. Crazy.

Future basement?

Video Blog

This was the basement of a house near our new house that had a layout we really liked. The closets at the end of the recreation area aren’t needed, but the closet next to the window is desired. They had a little walkway underneath the stairs that we won’t have, and the space between the stairs and the bathroom will be used for the bathroom so the shower doesn’t have to be too far left of the sink.

20100122 – The Friday Five

The Friday Five

Super-villians:

1. What’s his/her name or alias?

“Evil Beerman”. A dude who likes beer, but is evil… hence, the name is self-explanitory.

2. What are his/her abilities?

Super strength from all the carbs in the beer, also extremely light (even though he doesn’t look like it) due to all the carbonation he ingests which means he can jump high and float on water, and he also has a destructive power in the form of a giant burp. Seriously, he can level buildings.

3. What’s his/her main goal as an all-powerful villain?

To be the primary supplier of beer to the entire planet, and corner the market on snacks usually consumed with beer (corn chips, beer nuts, pretzels, etc).

4. By what means does he/she go about trying to accomplish this?

Burping away the competition or drinking them out of business, and rebuilding or aquiring the breweries as part of his evil empire. The same applies for the snack industry. Anyone in his way is burped into oblivion. Not a pretty way to go.

5. What’s his/her fatal flaw or weakness?

Bullets, along with liver and heart disease.

BONUS: Describe or draw your preferred villainous attire.

Messy basement – Part three

Video Blog

Over the course of the past weekend, and even with this past Monday as a vacation day, huge strides have been made during our battle with the basement. So much so, that we expect to be done quite soon! This video was taken last night, Monday, Jan 18th, 2010. Yesterday alone we ended up taking 520kg (1146lbs) to the dump, one full van load to Goodwill, and another full van load to our storage locker. The end is in sight!!

The Friday Five

1. If you had a jar of peanut butter, what would you do with it?

I’d see if Molly wanted it, otherwise I’d throw it out or drop it in a food bin. I hate peanut butter.

2. If you were to be cremated, where would you want your ashes to go and why?

Somewhere up in Algonquin. I’ve always loved it up there. Camping is a passion of mine, and I take every opportunity I can to escape the city and technology. Can’t wait to go on a bunch of trips this year, and if everything works out, a solo one too!

3. If you could invent a flavour of jelly beans, what would it be?

I don’t think there is a jelly bean flavour that HASN’T been tried. Look at Jelly Belly jelly beans. They’ve got a TON of flavours… even “popcorn”, which is just wrong. Also, for a while, there were “Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans” based off the jelly beans in the Harry Potter books. Earwax? Ugh.

4. What would your perfect paradise be like?

Up north/north-east about three or so hours from Toronto, with a large plot of land next to a lake, a large cottage which I would call my home, perhaps some neighbours not too far away but far enough away that I would have some privacy and they wouldn’t complain about loud music, and a high speed internet connection so I could stay in touch with the world and update my site as infrequently as I choose.

5. If you could fly, where would you go?

Anywhere I wanted at that given time. Australia? Sure. Bahamas? Why not? Australia? …again?
