All Caught Up

Welcome dear readers to Hump-day. Take that however you like ;) That also means that it is new comic book day. I won't make it there until this weekend though. Boo.

Last night I was very excited and a little disappointed to be caught up to the current season of Criminal Minds. Excited because like I said, I am caught up. Why would I be disappointed you ask? Well, now I have to wait like everyone else to see a new episode. I think I'll get over it though.

Jake and I have continued to briefly talk about a podcast. I really want to find a way to include Wally as well. The trio doesn't get to do much together at the same time with Wally now in Toronto (not a dig at you Wally just a fact, but I still get to slap you for moving. Hugs ) Haven't actually directly asked him about it but I know he reads the blog. Jake even came up with a good name for it. He asked me to find out what we need to do and he's in. As a heads up to you Wally, I'm gonna give you a call over the next few days to bounce idea's off of you and see where your knowledge base is on how to start a podcast.

What would we pod about you ask? Well you will just have to wait and see. I will keep everyone updated as this project evolves.

Happy Monday

Good Morning dear readers! Now I realized that Happy Monday is an oxymoron but hey I tried. Its been a pretty good weekend. E-ve arrived into town on Wednesday. Honestly I thought about holding her hostage so that we could get Wally down here. Crap. I probably shouldn't have written that. Now they know my evil plan.

It was good to see E-ve. She came by both my Thursday and Friday karaoke shows and let me choose her songs too. Saturday I was up early which I normally don't do, but breakfast with E-ve was totally worth it.

Jake had a good opening weekend for Urinetown. My sister and I will be checking that out this weekend.

Had a random thought last night. Sent Jake a text saying we should start a podcast. The thought evolved even more when I was driving into work this morning. We could likely get Wally in on it too. Nudge nudge. I think it would be fun and would be like having a remote hang out with Wally.

Well it's a short one today, but I will see you again soon

Lost My Socks in Wal-Mart

Happy St Patrick's Day Everyone! Remember tonight if you are going to party hard to either have a DD or take a cab home. Now yesterday I promised to tell you how I lost my socks in Wal-Mart but before I get into the story you should know a few details. Just around the corner from my place is a 24 hour Wal-Mart and sometimes i just like going to Wal-Mart in the wee hours of the morning. Most of the time I don't have a reason other than just because I can. Usually it is a little adventure too. On this occasion I had finished one of my karaoke shows and had the urge to go. I was driving a friend home so she joined me for the possible adventure. Now I have a certain path I take when I go. After entering the store I walk by the men's clothing section to see if anything will catch my eye. This time I found a shirt that would go excellent with my kilt. Sorry Wally but you know pants aren't always an option with me much to your dismay. At the end of the clothing section I head over to electronics to browse and sometimes buy movies or video games. I was disappointed to find that Wal-Mart wasn't carrying Boondock Saints II but i ended up finding it Sunday anyway. While browsing in the movie section I was approached by two gentlemen who looked 20ish. This is what they asked "This might sound weird but can we have your socks?" As anyone would I thought the request was odd but before i could comment they continued with "We are on a scavenger hunt and..." Then I cut them off and almost shouted "Done!" In that split section I remembered the fun I had in High School participating in a scavenger hunt and wanted these gentlemen to succeed in their quest. They laughed with my quick reply and finished their sentence "...we need a stranger's socks" As I took my shoes off i told them " Now I can't account for their condition and handle them at your own risk"

I do have to give them Kudo's as I think it was actually pretty bright to chose a 24 hour Wal-Mart to seek out their item. I think mostly because it would be alot safer than asking some random dude on the street in the wee hours of the morning.

So I hope you found this story entertaining, but I realize it may have just been a had to be there moment.

I Love the Lunch Lady!

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Eventhough Tuesdays are one of my least favorite days. Why dear readers do you ask? Well not only do I work Day Job my normal 8 hours today but Tuesday's I also have to come in from 630 to 930ish. Makes for a long day. Now you may debate that some of my other days are long too when I have a karaoke show to run but that's different. That's fun work that most of the time doesn't feel like it. Okay, I'm done whining now.


At work we have a pretty damn good cafeteria and Lunch Lady is awesome! I have to say that I am a pretty good customer. I don't mean that to brag but it shows when Lunch Lady does the little extra things for me. Like giving me extra bacon with my breakfast this morning without charging me. Or the time she slipped some bacon into my ham and cheese sandwich. So even though Tuesdays suck, I know that Lunch Lady will take care of me.

Last week Boondock Saints II : All Saints Day was released to video stores which made me very excited. I did get to see it in theatres but it is a must have to own. I didn't actually get to pick it up on release day. Sunday morning Small Lady woke up late for work so after driving her in I decided I would pick it up. It took me a Future Shop, a Best Buy and 2 Blockbusters but I finally found both Boondock Saints films on Blu-Ray. I would put All Saints Day on the list of successful sequels. Not only was it very true to the original film but all the cast returned. Julie Benz (drool) was a very awesome and hot addition to the cast. I definately reccomend at very least renting it but it is definatley worth the purchase.

Last week was a big day for me comic wise. I missed picking up my sub the week before so i had a few to pick up. Not only that but the World of New Krypton Vol 3 HC was released and again I couldn't wait for the TP. I really want to get caught up on what I've been missing in Superman Comics. Also The Green Hornet # 1 came out. I love the character and I love that it is Kevin Smith writing it. Among his many talents, he writes some fine comic books. Definately reccomed that Wally picks it up. Jake already has.

Well I think that is all for now. Don't forget to come by and check out the next post becasue I am going to tell you how I lost my socks at Wal-Mart.

Kilt Weather!

Well I'm happy to say that I had a pretty awesome weekend. The tempature was on the plus side for the weekend which allowed me to pull out the ol' Utility Kilt on Friday. I was also very excited to fill in at one of my favourite venues. I love running shows there and I think in someways when I get to host there it kinda refreshes me a little bit. It makes sense to me anyway. What made it an extra special evening is that a friend was celebrating his birthday and raising money for the MS Society. A very worthy cause that the room managed to raise over $600 for. Big thanks to all that donated.

My interest in the show Criminal Minds keeps growing. I have motored through the first three seasons and I started on the 4th over the weekend. It was sad during the 3rd season when Mandy Patinkin departed from the show. He is an awesome actor. Eventhough I knew that it was coming it still made me a little sad. Partnered with that, I also knew that Joe Mantegna would be replacing him. I admit I was skeptical that he would be a worthy replacement, but I am enjoying his performance in the show very much. Soon I will be completely caught up with the show and have to wait every week just like everyone else.

Sadly I did not have time to pick my comic sub this week but that just gives me more to look forward to this wednesday.

Before I go, just a reminder that Final Fantasy XIII is released tomorrow. Just sayin'
