Playing with the random entry link, I found this post I made a while ago. I’ve noticed that my last several posts have numbered between two and three billion words each (or so it feels if you’re reading them), and postitioned once every week or two. So I’m going to try to return to making more innane comments on stuff I see around me… more frequently and under 100 words or so.

Damn. I think I’m already closing in on 100… well, here’s my comment then:

Edward Norton is a good actor, but thoroughly unconvincing as a “smart guy“.

Simone won tickets through Eye Weekly for the new Jet Li/Jason Statham action movie, WAR. In spite of my modified poster below, it doesn’t have anything to do with the card game. However, as a game, watch the trailer and see if you can spot the CN cargo trains in the background.

Instead, the plot looks to promise a level of depth and sophistication not seen since Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever… hopefully WAR’s script had a second pass in order to write some decent dialogue.

So far, Simone and I have won tickets to WAR, The Hitcher, and I won tix to The Punisher a few years ago - all from Eye Magazine or 102.1 The Edge. We also won tickets to the Douglas Coupland-penned Everything’s Gone Green (aka. “Vancouverphile Porn”), but that hardly makes up for the other stinkers.

Of course I’m going anyway. Lots of movie martial artists can’t act their way out of a Chinese Finger Trap, but at least we never have to see Jet Li try.

(I think I just made 1.3 billion enemies)

OOOooo… I feel so revitalized. After years of buying Samurai Pizza Cats toys, T-Shirts, a Ranma 1/2 SNES cartridge (even though I didn’t own an SNES) and countless other crap, I’m finally selling something!

Although, technically it’s just something I bought for way more than I could afford and it didn’t work as well as I had hoped. Now I’m just trying to get my money back.  A digital HDTV tuner and powered antenna.

If you have a clear view of the CN Tower and want to buy it from me, I’ll give you a deep-discounted “Friends Only” price. Let me know before the auction is over so I can cancel it.

The site is still undergoing a lot of layout reconstruction, which is why the nav bar at the right will be changing from time-to-time. One of the things I’m trying to get done is enable enriched links for those sites that have RSS feeds.

One change I’m quite happy about is the Categories. A simple check-mark when I’m writing an entry, and you can find all my useless, 30-second PhotoShop Fun pics in a nice, uniform layout.  The old way was far less pretty.

I also call these moments “Boredom Ensues”, for when I perk up my emotional state by doing something off the wall. So from now on, all these graphics will be available by clicking on the category link on the right.

My first entry is my own contribution to the already-overpopulated “LOL Cats” Internet trend. It’s also the first time I’m going to try and embed a graphic in-line to a journal entry… wish me luck!

Riley likes sleeping in boxes, and the smaller the better. She once crawled into a box that held a Sirius satellite radio… only her front half got in, but she made her point.
