Last night at the gym I had to work out beside two women who just would not stop talking. Trapped! They went across a wide spectrum of topics including spiritualism, dating, hair, dating, best friends boyfriends, psychics, cuteness, masculinity and dating. Best line: “He was French. So you know he wasn’t super-masculine.” Thank god SharkBoy didn’t hear that. Nearer to the end, the most talkative one asked “What’s your name again?”<\/p>\n

I got a movie from a bin at my favorite video store called “Flight of the Living Dead” and thought “With a title like that, I am pretty sure that Meryl Streep wept when the script passed her by.” The tag line was “Outbreak on a Plane” and I think pluralizing the “outbreak” would have been a bigger wink to Samuel Jackson. For a crap zombie flick with all the quality of a made-for-SciFi-channel movie, it was a-fucking-mazing! It was as bad as you expected and yet so much more! All the cliches were there: a nun, a skanky air hostess, a good air hostess, a cop and his prisoner doing their best Odd Couple shtick, a “last flight before I retire” pilot, a mile high club scene interrupted by a zombie attack and marital drama saved by death. Please. Rent this movie.<\/p>\n

I walked into my local pizza joint and the guy behind the counter says “Hey! iPhone guy!” That kind of freaked me out because I didn’t have it on me at the time. <\/p>\n

Speaking of iPhone, Normlr<\/a> (who like me, is a bit strapped for time to post. Pity), sent me screen shots of his new Crackberry. Too Cute! Yes, that is a screenshot of Kath and Kim. If you don’t know who these two are, I feel sad for you.

I’ve finished my first Xbox360 game: BioShock. In terms of engine, it’s uses the Unreal Tournament style of third person shooter, but for graphics, Hol Eee Poop! I loved how the story unraveled and the twist near the end came at a perfect time – not too close to the end to be a buzz kill and not too close to the middle to deflate your interest. <\/p>\n

Futureshop store at Yonge and Dundas? Zzzz. We went on opening night and there were no visible deals to be had. They did have a special on product security alarms because they were going off every few seconds. Best Buy, despite their dubious business practices<\/a>, is still a better store for gadget-gasms.<\/p>\n

On a sad note, John, one of the owners of The Point Campsite died last night after a long struggle. He will be missed. Especially the many outrageous outfits and catty comments he would display behind the bar at the campsite. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
