SPOILERS! This movie was flawless. By far the best super hero movie I've ever seen. Heath Ledger and Christian Bale was/is two of the best actors of our times. I agree fully with what was said before, Ledger made an unbelievable character in an unbelievable plot seem plausible. The score was terrific, the two note hum used for The Joker was great, I wish I thought of that during my score writing days in school. I'm glad they had the balls to kill off Rachel Dawes, instead of making it a perfect happy ending. I know they're going to do a third movie but I wish they wouldn't, since I sincerely d

Luckily all the carpet has been replaced with tile in recent years haha

I know!! I've always had bassets, when I was born my family even had one. Monty will be my third, it's not a replacement for Vic, who we lost in March, but I just can't imagine not having a basset. Plus my coon hound needs someone to play with. Two more (I'll likely post more once I get him on Tuesday, these pictures are a few weeks old, from the breeder):

Who???

I'm getting a new bassethound next week!!!! He's 10 weeks old and his name is Monty. Here are some pictures!

Maine... close enough!!

Really?? I don't know much about Chicago, other then what I've seen in the movie IATTBYH, but isn't Wrigley Field suppose to be a big venue? I know that last years Winter Classic set a record in attendance.

Yeah when I heard about that I figured a lot of the VC people would want to go. Here's hoping it doesn't rain. I don't know about the other teams but the Canucks released their schedule today! And man, am I one excited boy! New Jersey (Luongo vs Brodeur, yes please!!!), Ottawa, Montreal, and the Red Wings are all visiting GM Place. I'm most excited to watch the Canucks beat the Leafs and might have to plan a road trip to see that. Or maybe a road trip to watch them play the Canadiens. The best part is, every team will play each other. I think it's a step in the right direction but, in my opini

Blue Jays? Pfft, no thanks kind sir, no thanks!! Most people in Toronto don't even like the Blue Jays haha

As a Canadian I usually could not care less for baseball HOWEVER I am writing to officially declare the Chicago Cubs, CANADA's team due to their pitchers Rich Harden and Ryan Dempster. Two good BC boys. On a side note: My mom went to high school with Ryan Dempster's dad, Wally. They're both (as well as Ryan) from Gibsons, which is a really pretty but small town. My extended family are all down there, it's almost like a second home town to me.

AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!!

It's definitely a gem.

No, I didn't mean that the arrangements ruined that record, if anything they helped but it seems like they were just trying to cover up the lack of good songs. There were no songs that stuck out like Upward Over the Mountain, Jezebel, or Passing Afternoon.

I have a theory that the songs aren't as good on that one was they were on the previous two albums, so he tried to cover it up with elaborate arrangements.

Yeah but he's refusing to sign an extension, everyone seems to believe that he's going to Toronto next summer. The Maple Laffs hired Burkes best bud, Ron Wilson as head coach and tried really hard to get his other best bud, Dave Nonis as an assistant GM. Burke would love the attention in Toronto, the biggest hockey market in the world.

The Creek Drank the Cradle is one of my all time favorite records, it's beautiful. Great album in the autumn. Our Endless Numbered Days is good though I don't think it's on the same level as The Creek. The EPs are all really strong as well, The Sea and the Rhythm, In the Reins, and of course Woman King. Basically their all good, though I didn't get really into the last one like I did for all the other releases. It is a great album to listen to on headphones though, most of the songs "link" together and the album is mixed really well, it's so deep and wide.

Brian Burke is a fucking shitty GM. Toronto deserves him. Lowe, though a prima donna, is right... he was the GM of Vancouver for 6 years and they won ONE playoff round. He left us with nothing, no prospects. In fact, RJ Umberger was drafted by the Canucks but Burke refused to sign him!!! And now look at him, he's exactly the player we need. Burke's a bully who loves attention. I can't believe the respect he commands. I'd take Pat Quinn, Dave Nonis, or Mike Gillis over Brian Burke any day. Kind of shocked to see Naslund go to the Rangers... fair is fair I guess, we got one of their washed up

Calling Naslund an "ex-Penguin" is kind of weird. That's like calling Gretzky an "ex-Indianapolis Racer". However! I'd be surprised if he goes to the Pens (or the Wild, apparently they offered him a contract). A player of his caliber, who still got 25 goals playing without any line mates (Taylor Pyatt? pfft) doesn't go through two days of UFA without getting signed for no reason. He's waiting to see if Sundin accepts the 20 million offer (Team 1040 is saying that Sundin is working out contract details, apparently) and then see how much money is left for him. He'd probably take a "home town dis

I know. Jesus Christ that team has some fire power.

Here's hoping for Hossa in Edmonton, even though they're a division rival of Vancouver, there's only one Canadian team I want to see stuck in mediocrity. At this hour, looks like Vancouver is going to get Sundin. Sure, for a lot of money.... making him the highest paid player in hockey, still though. I like what this could mean....... Naslund - Sundin - Demitra? Raymond? Grabner? Sedin - Sedin - Someone with a right handed shot Burrows - Kesler - Wellwood Hordichuk - Johnson - Brown That looks really good. The D is still intact, we still have Luongo. The Sedins won't be shut down against t

Canada Day! The most magical day of the year! Things that make me proud of being a Canadian: Hockey! Basketball (we invented it!) The Band (minus Levon Helm) Neil Young The New Pornographers BC Bud.. I mean ummm! That cute girl from Juno! Trailer Park Boys Terence and Phillip More hockey!!

When Your Heart Strings Break is probably my favorite indie rock album of the 90s.

Does Beulah count??

Wow that was really good.

Sometimes (well a lot of the time), yes, but I wish my country had someone like Barack Obama running for prime minister, so you know, take what you can get.
