Monday Morning Musings, 1st Lunch Edition

Howdy kids!

Welcome to Monday. I hope that it has found you well.

Writing from my lunch break on my first day at the new job. Go team!

Big hugs and love to E-ve while she works a lunch shift today. Here's hoping for awesome people for her.

We're going to pretend that the Habs lost 1-0 nothing in a tightly contested first game of their series with the Flyers last night.

High fives to Jake and Romeo who will be here to visit soon. I'm excited to see them. It's been far too long since my bday.

A big welcome to any new readers. If you're a first timer or I've never shouted you out before, let me know here or on Twitter @wallyzblogger.

I'm giving a big hand to the Blue Jays who won again yesterday, sweeping the Rangers. That's what I like to see. Now the Twins are in town and our pitching is going to have to stay tough, but I have faith in our nine.

It's a gorgeous day weather wise and I'm writing this while sitting outside on a bench in the shade. How cool is that?

Word is that Julia and her fam are finally going to move in to their new place for reals. So it looks like E-ve and I are going to have to schedule a visit soon.

Chuck is on tonight. And Mr. Bartowski is back! I'm jacked for that, don't doubt it.

I think we'll end on that happy note.

Have a great day mes amis.

Wednesday Morning Musings, I'm Still Here Edition

Hey kids. 

I'm super sorry for being away.  I've had posts written and ready to go for the past 2 days in a row but my BB hasn't let me post.  What a jerk eh.

Big lovin' to E-ve.  I am crazy happy that her migraine is feeling better today.  Her being healthy and happy is the primary goal.  I hope that I'm doing a good job.

Also thanks to her for supporting my Habs.  Even if she isn't a fan after the play-offs end, I'll take it for now.

Speaking of the Habs, it's game 7 tonight.  The biggest game of the season thus far.  The Caps have been pushed to the edge by the team that they were supposed to handle easily.  We've got them exactly where we want them... on the ropes and making line-up changes. 

Go Habs Go!

Can't wait to see Jake and Romeo... the time is coming. 

The Losers has been a pretty good read so far.  I haven't dedicated the kind of time to it that it deserves from me... but I will.  I promise.

And speaking of losing... the Blue Jays are killing me right now.  Two games in a row have been lost by 1 run to the Red Sox.  I'm not sure which was worse, the 13-12 slugfest or the 2-1 game last night that was lost on a bases loaded walk.  Arg.

Glee was once again awesome last night.  I love the singing and story and Sue Sylvester and all of it.

And Chuck was awesome on Monday night.  We're back to new episodes and I love it!  Chuck and Sarah are a couple, Casey is back and Morgan is on Team Bartowski.  I'm a happy, happy boy. 

K, I'm doing about a thousand things today so it's time to go.

Have a great hump day.

Wednesday Morning Musings, Busy Day Edition

Good morning you crazy animals.



It's a rainy day in Pizzaville but that's okay. We need the rain for the flowers. Or so they say.



Big lovin' to my E-ve. She's pretty awesome and has been studying like crazy. Proud of her. And hope that I can see her soon to tell her to her pretty face.



Sad faces as both the Habs and Raptors lost their games last night. The Raptors I mostly expected as they were playing King James and his Cavs. But the Habs had a chance to make things a whole lot easier on the fans against the Isles. But noooo, that would mean we could breath easier. Maybe even relax and get ready for the play-offs. Jeez.



Now we have to cheer for the Leafs tonight as they take on the Rangers. If the Rangers lose, we're in... Go Leafs Go I guess.



High five to Romeo who is tweeting up a storm @romeoblogs. Add him and see what he has to say. Right now it's a whole lot of love for folks who edit as he works on the podcast.



Just passing the Rainforest Cafe. I lurve that place. Good memories.



I miss having a phone that vibrates.



Great episode of NCIS on Showcase last night. Falling in love with that show. But it's still no Chuck.



Blue Jays are back in action tonight versus the Rangers... I guess I'll be cheering for Toronto to beat the Rangers in New York and Arlington. If the blue birds win they'll be tied with the Red Sox and Yankees in the standings.



I think that today may be a good day to read some more Batman. I'm starting to come up with ideas for my guest post over at www.semi-dailyplanet.blogspot.com



More love to E-ve... Because I can.



Have a great hump day kids.

Tuesday Morning Musings, Chuck Vs The Blue Devils Edition

Good morning kids.



Welcome to Tuesday. I hope it has found you well.



Big lovin' to E-ve as exam studying season has started and is now in full swing. I have a ton of faith in her smarts and have no doubt that she's going to rock next week. Also, thank you to her for being awesome when times get tough.



Disappointing end to the Blue Jays season opener yesterday as Jason Frasor allowed 2 runs in the bottom of the ninth for a 5-4 loss to the Rangers. Vernon Wells and Adam Lind both went deep for the Jays in the loss giving some hope for the offence moving forward.



Yesterday's lunch of hamburgers really hit the spot. But now we need more sandwich pickles. As E-ve remarked, you can never have too many.



Side note: I love looking at well painted graffiti.



Congratulations to the Duke Blue Devils and Butler Bulldogs after last night's NCAA title game. Duke won a close one, 61-59 and are once again champions. I'm not happy, but that's what happened.



What did make me happy last night was Chuck. That show is the best on TV. The only downside is that they are taking a 3 week break.



The Habs can clinch a play-off spot tonight with a win over the New York Islanders. It would be nice to get it done now and not leave anything to chance Saturday against the Leafs.



Huge news... Romeo is on Twitter. Find him and follow him @romeoblogs.



Next will have to be Jake and E-ve.



I think that's all for now friends.



As always, if this is the only day of the week you're here, see you next Tuesday.

Sunday Morning Musings, Chuck And Batman And Ideas Edition

Good morning y'all.



I hope that Sunday has started well for everyone. Keep smiling.



My sleep patterns and habits are getting annoying and driving me crazy.



Big lovin' to E-ve. I can't wait for her to come over today. There's good food planned and perhaps a movie and some hanging out and good times all around.



Thumbs down to the dinks she served at work last night. You should be ashamed of yourselves and your parents should be ashamed as well. Next time you go out to eat dinner, be an adult about it or go to Wendy's. Thank you.



TFC had their first game of the season yesterday... and lost. Not the start that the die hards were hoping for. Here's hoping things look up as the year goes on. And here's hoping we get tickets to see a game.



I think I'm going to focus some time and attention to a possibly huge project. And to reading Batman. Good plan.



Plans are coming together for Easter weekend. Dinner at Daddy Z's is set for Friday and then we'll what happens after that.



I have eaten far too much cereal lately.



I just put Chuck on the TV. Thank you On Demand.



Big ups to Jake now that his Urinetown run has finished. All reviews were excellent and I wish I could have made the trip to see it. Proud of ya buddy.



There are a lot of exciting and fun ideas on the horizon. However, none of them get me paid...



I think that's all I've got for this morning friends.



Have a great day, keep having fun and working hard. And remember, you're loved.

Sunday Morning Musings, Who Cares About The Time Edition

Hey there world.


Happy Sunday. I hope it’s a good one so far.

Big ups to E-ve who made it home safely. Made me very happy to see her and have a hang out date. She was also very gracious in victory last night after the Leafs beat the Habs in a shootout. We had a deal going into the game and both of us did a very good job of not breaking the deal and gloating at any point during the contest.

E-ve also made the best decision of the night when we called for chicken wing delivery for dinner. Excellent choice, and the garlic bread on the side was a great touch.

Also, feel better soon.  xo.
Sad faces as my bracket isn’t looking so great in the NCAA tournament. I’m still doing alright compared to everyone else that made picks, but I’ve been taking a beating as schools have been rocking upset wins at an alarming rate.

I realized (thanks to @technicolor_cat) that I’ve been missing out on sports card collecting for way too long. It took only 1 tweet to make me notice this fact. McDonalds hockey cards at the start of every winter just aren’t cutting it.

Big thank yous to Jake for sending Batman comic books back with E-ve after her trip. I haven’t cracked any covers yet, but I’m tres excited to get started on the 8 issue run of Batman and Family.

It’s not a warm, sunny day in Toronto so far. We were at 0 this morning which meant that I had to wear a real coat when I left for work. E-ve supplied me with my first coffee of the day though, so I started to warm up pretty quickly. Thank you sweetheart.

I’d like to say thank you to everyone that stops by to check out what I have to ramble about here. You guys are pretty rad.

Thumbs down to my BB which has decided that it doesn’t want to vibrate any longer. That’s not awesome at all. However, I am only 3 months-ish away from new customer pricing on a new one. So that ain’t too bad.

Chuck is on tomorrow. Yay!

I have still only won 2 free coffees from Tim Hortons in this year’s Roll up the Rim contest. Boo.

I’m pulling for Andy Rautins and Syracuse right now against the Gonzaga in the NCAA tourney. I think that E-ve is cheering against me because she loves Gonzaga, but I have a feeling that I’m going to win.

Happy 28th birthday to Aaron Hill of the Toronto Blue Jays.

I think that’s all for now my friends. I hope that you all have a great afternoon.

Tuesday Morning Musings, Go Habs Go Edition

Hello world.


Welcome to Tuesday. I hope you enjoy it. For a few minutes this morning I thought that it was Wednesday, but no such luck.

Tuesday means day 8, which means only 2 more to go before 2 whole days off.

Big lovin’ to E-ve as she gets a bunch of stuff done before she hops the bus tomorrow. It’s gonna be a great trip for her. I’m excited on her behalf and wish that I was going as well. I’ll probably text a bunch even though I know it will get her made fun of. I can’t help it.

It’s game day, and that means there will be a lot of Go Habs Go in my life today. I know that Rangers fans are hungry for wins and would love some good results down the stretch, but this is a game that the Canadiens have to win. And I will be cheering as hard as I can to make that happen.

I am jazzed for baseball season. I can’t help it. The sun is out, the temperatures are climbing and I want to play catch.

I love the feeling of my fingers on the keyboard.

Chuck was pretty good last night. There is a ton going on. I can’t believe it really. I have no idea where it’s going to go from here, but the writers have given themselves a chance to really put a good story out there. I hope that they don’t disappoint. I also saw the first tweet calling for NBC to order season 4. After last year’s Save Chuck campaign I am trying to imagine what fans could do this time.

I think that HIMYM was a re-run. I flipped to it for a second but I wasn’t really into it.

I spilled coffee on my left leg this morning. Not a great way to start the work day. But I’m fine and nobody saw it. If I didn’t write it here, it would have been a secret to my grave.

Both Yahoo.ca and Msn.ca have been disappointing sources for interesting or catchy news lately. Way too much celebrity gossip and love and sex stuff. Come on folks. Get it together.

Darts just came on the TV. So it’s time for me to wrap this up and change the channel.

As always, if this is the only day of the week that you stop by, see you next Tuesday.

Monday Morning Musings, Guess Who's Coming To Town Edition

Hey there friends.


Happy Monday. Hope you’re all rocking it.

Big loving to E-ve who is getting ready for a trip. I’m excited for her even though I’ll miss her while she’s away.

Excellent Sunday dinner last night. Taquitos and Chicken Fingers. How can a bachelor ask for any better than that? Quick, easy and pretty tasty. Good times.

I am loving the length and fullness of my beard right now.

Blue Jays vs Tigers on the TV at work right now. Awesome!

Had some sleep in time today since I was alone in the store for a while yesterday. Was nice.

Started reading for DC Trinity stuff that I almost forgot I had while I was on the street car and subway today. I bought the comics so I could use the covers as art. I may as well read them before I put them on the wall.

There are a lot of errors made in spring training baseball. I think I could play.

It’s Chuck night. I’m excited. I just hope I can stay awake long enough to watch it.

Thumbs down to the San Jose Sharks. Eff you guys. Losing and not scoring lots of goals for me is unacceptable.

The weather is supposed to be nice over the next few days. That’ll mean less sweaters for me, I like that prospect.

Lady Gaga has announced her North American tour dates. There are 4 Canadian dates set, so if you want to see Gaga and are in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto or Montreal you will have your chance.

I answer a lot of questions every day. It’s a pain in the arse.

I think it’s time for me to hang it up for today.

Have a great rest of the day.

Wednesday Morning Musings, Ups To All Edition

Hola amigos.


I hope that you’re all well on this hump day.

Big ups to E-ve at work. Smile big and flirt for tips. Your horoscope said so.

Trying to come up with ideas for hang out date day tomorrow. Doing my best not to have them all revolve around comic books or comic books movies. It’s tough. Maybe a dinner and left over birthday cake will make up for whatever silliness I come up with.

Huge ups to Team Canada after a great effort last night against the Germans. It was exactly what the team needed and maybe more importantly what the fans needed. With the Russians on tap tonight everyone wanted some confidence going in to tonight. An 8-2 win will give you some confidence.

Also, some of the biggest ups we have go out to Joannie Rochette who skated the best short program of her life last night. With the weight of the world on her shoulders and the thoughts and prayers of a nation behind her she was superb. She now sits in 3rd place going into the long program.

It’s snowing just a little bit in Toronto today. I don’t think it will amount to anything, but it does make it feel like winter outside. Better late than never I guess.

Thanks to Sean from Bad Deacon Design for the offer of a free woodblock print. He had a great idea to get followers on Twitter yesterday by offering a free print to anyone that started following him. I shot him a quick email to tell him that I loved the idea and thanks for the offer. He says the print will be on the way shortly. Check out the website http://www.baddeacondesign.com/

I’ve now moved everything over to my new JLA bag including pins. I think that makes it officially my new day to day shoulder bag. The old one will stay in the apt though. It’s too good to throw away.

Reminder: Chuck comes back with new episodes on March 1st.

E-ve and I had an sms discussion about the bobsled racing last night. I think it would be fun to try and maybe even drive. She thinks that it would be too much of a chance. Add it to the list of things to maybe try some day.

Happy Birthday to step-sister Z.

If you’re on Twitter and like to laugh and love words and writing you should follow FakeAPStylebook. It won’t disappoint.

I think that’s all for today. I’ve got to get my shift in and rush home for some puck.

Have a goodie.

Monday Morning Musings, Welcome To February Quick Fire Edition

Good morning y'all.



Welcome to your new work week.



I'm on the BB so I think we'll go with an old fashioned quick fire edition.



Big ups to E-ve for being cool beans. Here's hoping for a good, long, restful day.



Best wishes to Mrs. E-ve's mom today as she's under the weather this morning.



Go team me as I've already cruised through a crossword and a half this morning.



Big smiles from me after a Raptors win last night. That makes 5 in a row and there are more winnable games coming up on the schedule.


Wishes for quick healing go to Hedu Turkoglu as he took a shot to the face and now has a non-displaced fracture of his orbital bone. There are rumours that the team is going to try to get him to wear a mask and play but no official word yet.



E-ve is excited about the moves made by the Maple Leafs yesterday if for no other reason than she now has an excuse to say Phaneuf more often.



I'm waiting on more news from the Habs regarding Mike Cammalleri and his knee. I'm hoping for good news. Cross your fingers for me.



More serious thoughts of job hunting are on my mind.



Congrats to the Zac Brown Band after they won the Best New Artist Award at the Grammy's last night. I really do dig on those guys. And their Chicken Fried.



I watched Chuck last night on City TV... Things are gonna get dicey for my hero pretty soon.



The show also keeps breaking my heart just a little bit with the Sarah and Chuck lines.



I think that's about it for me today ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy your day as much as you can.

Tuesday Morning Musings, Yoga And Cookies Edition

Good day y'all.



Big ups to E-ve on her way to school today. Here's hoping that she's able to stay awake and rock the class.



The temperature has dropped in Toronto today and there was even some snow in the air earlier. It felt like winter there for a minute or 2.



Last night was the 4th in a row that I made dinner at home instead of getting take-out. It wasn't glamorous or 5 star, but it was tasty enough and easy and available.



Last night I fired off a piece for www.thelongformmusings.blogspot.com about buying new groceries and cooking at home. It was nice to write and I hope it all works out as planned.



We are less than a month away from spring training my friends. Baseball is on the way back. I'm excited.



We are currently watching Conan's last Tonight Show. He's a funny dude. He'll land on his feet. Worry not.



Stone Cold was the bad guy on Chuck this week. He did an alright job and even busted out the same sneer that Casey uses every week. I'm a fan of what they keep doing.



I'm in a laughing kind of mood today. I'm hoping that we can watch some solid comedy through out the day.



I think once I get the cooking under control I may move onto baking as well. Why not.



High fives to the people of the internet. Most of you are pretty awesome. Keep up the good work.



I think maybe yoga would be a good idea.



And video games too. They'd be a good idea too.



I think that's it for today kids.



Have a great day, and if this is your only day here for the week, see you next Tuesday.

Monday Morning Musings, New Orleans Is Still Rocking Edition

Howdy partners.

Welcome to the work week. If you were lucky enough to have the weekend off I hope that you enjoyed it. No hard feelings.

Big ups to E-ve for the text I got in the middle of the night. No reason, just a text that made me smile this morning. She really is the awesome.

I also smiled big yesterday when Heath told me that he saw Roy Halladay the other night after he left the bar (Heath not Doc). I love that dude so it was huge. Heath also met Cabbie at the airport last spring on his way to Ottawa. I think I need to hang out with Heath more often so that I can see all of these people.

Quick note: People are going to let you down from time to time. It’s not a reflection of you; it is a reflection of those people. It is how you choose to deal with it that reflects you as a person.

Huge win for the Toronto Raptors last night at home against the defending NBA champions the Los Angeles Lakers. The home town boys won 106-105 on 2 free throws made by Hedu Turkoglu with 1.2 seconds left in the game. I was nervous down the stretch and flipping TV channels back and forth with the NFL play-offs at the same time. What a night in sports.

Turns out that I could be an NFL expert as I did pick the Colts and Saints to meet in the Super Bowl. Even though both teams were down at points during the game, they both found a way to come back and make it to the big game.

The Saints continue to be a great story as the city of New Orleans rebuilds itself after Katrina. Having the pride that they do in a team that has been amazing is a great reminder of the human spirit and also how sports can be bigger than just a game on Sunday.

Rumour is that http://www.msn.ca/ has some behind the scenes something or other on the new Rihanna photo shoot.

I watched most of Chuck last night as the football game overlapped it a little bit due to the over time session. I won’t divulge and secrets or endings, but I was entertained. New characters are always fun, and story lines continue to evolve 5 episodes in to the season. It will be on again tonight for people that were too busy or distracted for the show last night.

The skies have cleared after lots of rain this morning. There are reports that it may rain some more, but the temperature is supposed to dip back below freezing so I’m not sure what will happen.

Talked to Mommy Z on the phone last night. Turns out that she loved Transformers 2 which surprised me a little bit. And she’s cool with the idea of E-ve and I coming to visit for Family Day in February.

I think that’s all for today friends. Have a great one.

Sunday Morning Musings, Late But I Made It Edition

Good day people.


I hope that your Sunday has been well so far.


I’ve been busier than usual at work today, so things are a little behind schedule.


High fives to E-ve. Smile big and tip well if she’s serving you your lunch today.


I’m a little frazzled due to a dude that was a little more than rude when things didn’t go as planned at the store today. I don’t think that I deserved to be hung up on when I tried to give him alternate solutions to his situation.


Last night’s dinner was a smashing success with veggies and sausages that filled our tummies and tasted good to boot. They took a little longer than I had anticipated to cook but the bread that E-ve brought to go with dinner was excellent and helped tide us over until the main course was ready.


Last night was also a smashing success for the Montreal Canadiens as they put a hurt on the New York Rangers. The 6-0 result was far better than I had hoped for going in to the game. I was uncertain as to whether or not the Habs would be able to keep up with the blue shirts. It helped to erase the memories of last Sunday’s terrible effort against the same team.


I love my E-ve.


The clouds have started to roll in and the skies have started to darken now that rain is on its way. The temperature is ridiculous today though. They were calling for highs of around 7 degrees. That’s not January weather my friends.


Good luck to Jets and Colts and Saints and Vikings fans today as the 4 teams vie for the 2 spots in the Super Bowl. My bet has the Colts and Saints making it through, but I’m no expert.


Left overs are the order of the day when I get home for dinner tonight. Here’s hoping that they hold up.


“Wok out with your bok (choy) out.”


I think that Chuck should be on City TV tonight, but with play-off available I don’t know what I’m going to do.


I think that’s all for now mes amis. I’m sure that there’s something else I should be doing, or something will come up soon.


Later days.

Saturday Morning Musings, Hockey Picks And Grocery List Edition

Good morning friends.



Welcome to your Saturday. I hope that you’ve all started it with your eyes open and coffee available.


High hopes that E-ve has a good day doing errands and such on her day off. The weather should be good and hopefully the crowds aren’t so bad. Smile big.


It was a great night to be me in the sports viewing world last night. My Habs had a big win in New Jersey against Martin Brodeur and the Devils. We never win there, we never beat Brodeur, and we needed that win, big time.


The Raptors also had a big home win against the Bucks in a game they needed to win to get back to .500. I was happy with effort that the boys put forth. It was gutsy and a welcome sight.


I even got up off of my arse last night and cooked dinner. It was chicken breasts and cream of celery soup with a bunch of salt and pepper and garlic seasoning all in pan in the oven. Thank you to E-ve for the tips via text as I had never cooked with soup before.


And to top it all off I did dishes. Well to be honest I almost did dishes, I put super hot water and soap in the sink and soaked a bunch of dishes.


Pee-wee Herman is hilarious. We’re watching his spot on Conan from this week.


I finished my CBC hockey pool picks this morning. And now I’m hoping for big weeks from Eric Staal, Mike Green, Martin Brodeur and Jose Theodore.


Happy to see that Romeo has his second post up on the http://www.semi-dailyplanet.blogspot.com/ it looks like he’s enjoying himself.


The plan is to do some awesome grocery shopping this week. I’ve got plans for chicken, sausage, ground beef, pork chops, onions, peppers, mushrooms, pasta, soy, peas, potatoes, etc.


I know that it’s only Saturday, but I’m excited for Chuck already. Stone Cold Steve Austin is going to be on this week and I think that Kristin Kreuk is also making her first of 4 scheduled appearances on the show this season.


Time keeps ticking by and customers keep coming in, so I’m going to call this a finished product for today. Have a goodie.

Tuesday Morning Musings, Awesome's Back And School's In Edition

Good day to you all.

Happy Tuesday, I hope that it has started with a bang.

Big ups to E-ve who’s back to class today. I hope that she starts feeling better. Sick is never fun.

Not a whole lot going on today. As per usual. It’s a little bit colder outside, and there were even some snow flakes in the air, but it still doesn’t feel like winter.

Last night was a good and relaxing one with a soak in the tub and X-Men 3 on the TV. At the same time.

Tonight is a do whatever night and sleep in because I’m off tomorrow. It’s a split weekend with Wednesday and Friday off. It’s a little different than my norm, but I’ll manage. Don’t you worry about me.

Chuck was the awesome this week. As I mentioned yesterday, I watched it a day early on City TV, and then it was on again last night for the masses in the US. I am happy to report that Captain Awesome is not dead, he is in fact very alive and had his run as a spy. I don’t think we’ll be seeing that storyline again moving forward. Brandon Routh was the big guest star of the week with the bad guy guest star being Angie Harmon. She played one mean woman and had a pretty good little fight scene with Sarah.

Heartfelt thanks go out to everyone that has done anything to help with the Haiti relief effort. Whether you’ve donated a dollar or your time or anything else you’ve done something great. Thank you.

There isn’t much in the news today that really entices me. There’s the Leno vs. Conan thing and the Tiger in sex rehab story, but really, I don’t care. The Haiti relief effort is still number 1, and I’m paying attention to that. But otherwise there isn’t much.

I have noticed that the amount of emails I’ve been receiving from the TTC has increased in the last week or so. There have been more delays reported per day than I can remember in quite some time. I have no idea if it’s just a coincidence or if I’m crazy.

Time to wrap it up I think. I hope that you all rock the rest of your day.

And, like I always say, if this is the one day you stop in per week, we’ll see you next Tuesday.

Good morning friends.



Welcome to Monday, here's hoping that you're well.



Big ups to E-ve. I think she won at Trivial Pursuit last night. But I know that she had a good time. Here's hoping that there's no hangover.



Thumbs down to the Montreal Canadiens who lost 6-2 last night in New York. They played a good first period and were winning 2-0, but then it all fell apart.



The only silver lining is that my guy Gaborik had 3 points for the Rangers.



The coffee tastes good this morning. I guess I needed it.



Watched Chuck last night. Was joyfully surprised that it was on. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone that will be watching tonight instead, but I was happy.



I'll spoil it all tomorrow!



If I had a cooking show I would want to say "Wok on with your bad self" on TV.



It's mild again today. The kind of day that you can just hang out outside and enjoy yourself. Some sunshine would be nice, but I don't wanna get picky.



Rude people are ridiculous. Unbelievable even. Oh well, too bad for them.



I think that's about for today folks. You aren't missing out on much over here.

Wednesday Morning Musings, New Blog And An Idea Needed Edition

Bonjour friends.



Here’s hoping that Wednesday has started well and will continue along the same lines for all of you.


E-ve’s already at work rocking her section, so here’s hoping that she picking up some solid tips and smiles.


I started a new blog yesterday at www.thelongformmusings.blogspot.com the plan is to use it when I have things that I want to write about for more than just a few lines. There’s a start up piece there now about what I want to do this year and there’s already one other piece that is partly written. I’m excited that I’ve started this one to go along with the musings here. It’s like a sister blog. Good times.


Yesterday marked the end of a career for NHL goaltender Curtis Joseph. Dude had a long stay in the league with 19 seasons played and is 4th on the all-time wins list in the history of the game. But the question that is taking over the internet, TV and radio shows is whether or not he belongs in the Hall of Fame. I think the answer is yes. It’s true that he doesn’t have his name on the Stanley Cup, but dude won a lot of games in the regular season. He also won a lot of games in the play-offs with teams that weren’t supposed to get wins. The Oilers, Blues and Maple Leafs can all attest to that fact. In the end it’s not up to me, but I think that CuJo should be a member of the Hall.


Last night was a Chuck free night on TV, and without it I was disappointed. I watched NCIS, a few hockey highlights and then put on Star Trek before bed. The movie holds up on the 4th watch, and the special features and gag reel were pretty good too.


It’s not as cold today compared to the last few days… and they say that it’s going to get above 0 before the end of the week. I’m excited!


I opened my big mouth and told E-ve that I could do some baking. So now I’m bouncing ideas off of co-workers and trying to come up with something tasty and creative and awesome. Wish me luck.


I’ve had Taylor Swift’s “15” stuck in my head. It’s not a bad song or anything, but it’s starting to drive me a little bit crazy.


Big ups to everyone everywhere just because everyone deserves some love.


Have a great day everyone.

I'm mobile right now because the computers are in use.

Big ups to E-ve. I hope that sleep was better than I think. She is the awesome.

So, last night was 2 hours of Chuck. It was awesome too. I had been worried about changes now that Chuck has the Intersect 2.0 in his head. But I think they did it right. The romance, the story, the characters, the everything. I am excited to watch episode 3 tonight. And I have an itch to watch the first 2 hours again today. I'm a geek.

No longer mobile.

Last night also featured the highest scoring NFL play-off game in history. The Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals scored a combined 96 points in an overtime thriller. I didn’t even know who I was cheering for and I was caught up in the action and the back and forth style of play. I’m pretty sure that I could have played defense at points during the 4th quarter.

Yay to Romeo who is thinking about starting a new blog of his own. If he does we’ll be linking to it for sure.

And yay to my favourite Aunt and Romeo and Jake and E-ve and Heath who have all expressed desire to hang out for my birthday next month. You guys are the greatest.

It’s snowing lightly right now. It looks pretty even. And to top that, it’s not extremely cold. And I like that a lot.

I am starting to worry about all of the cold and snow storms that are taking random places hostage this winter. Hundreds of people in China have been forced from their homes because of snow storms that never come. Dozens were stranded over night in their cars on the highway in Germany because there was no way to travel the roads. And Miami is setting records with cold temperatures. I know it’s not Green Week, and I’m not scientist, but this is ridiculous. Dr. David Suzuki and Al Gore must be going nuts right now. Do you know how hard it must be for them not to go on every talk show and say I told you so.

Also, this whole Tim Hortons, donut for 49 cents thing is going to cause a lot of people to fail with their New Year’s Resolutions of losing weight.

We are rapidly approaching the 1 year anniversary of Wally Z’s New Morning Musings. And to celebrate I’ve launched a Wally Z page on Facebook. It can be found by searching for Wally Z’s Morning Musings. Tell your friends, start a trend, help expand my brand. And remember, if this works it will be because of you.

I think that’s it for now mes amis.

I hope that you have a groovy Monday.

That’s right, I said groovy.

Like wham!

Sunday Morning Musings, Chuck Is Back Edition

Hi there surfers.

I hope that everyone has started Sunday off in fantastic fashion.

I’m at work, E-ve’s at work, I’m pretty sure that Jake is or was at work and Romeo usually works Sunday nights. Who said that Sunday was a day of rest?

The Montreal Canadiens ran into a hot goaltender last night, Martin Brodeur, and lost 2-1 in overtime to the New Jersey Devils. @ThatKevinSmith will be happy. But I’m not.

My pops has decided that he wants to have a joint birthday party on the day of my birthday for him, my step-sister and myself. Now I have to tell him that I have other plans made already because it’s my birthday. I’m not a young dude, but I’m not that old yet either. What I will tell you is that today marks the start of a 110 week countdown to a significant birthday. I’ll post on the twitter feed the milestone birthday I’m counting down to. www.twitter.com/Wallyzblogger

Best wishes for big tips go out to E-ve today. Sunday should be a day of generosity from people that want their lunch served to them.

I have songs from Glee stuck in my head. With the voices of the actors not the original singers.

Hey, guess what! Chuck is back in like 7 hours! This is the show that I have been waiting for since the finale of season 2. They do such a good job of drawing me in with funny and action and a little bit of drama. I’m hyped to see the actors the new storylines and the ass kickary. Chuck is going to be a well oiled machine. I’ll be honest though. I’m worried about the direction of the show now that he won’t need Sarah and Casey to save his ass all the time. They had better have something figured out. I don’t want to lose interest the way that I have with Heroes. They really dropped the ball on that one.

I need to get out of the all day every day face to face customer service line of work.

I have the bug to sing back again after going out for E-ve’s birthday. Maybe I’ll be able to talk her into going once in a while with me so that we can laugh and smile keep our vocal chords exercised. I also blame Glee and NBC’s The Sing-Off for bringing music to the forefront of prime time TV. How was I ever going to deny the urge? I think it’s a conspiracy.


The Raptors are getting ready to tip-off against the Boston Celtics this afternoon. It’s a game that will have the Celtics favoured, but the Raptors are on fire right now and have the chance to avenge the sole loss in their last 8 games. Good luck gentlemen.

I think that’s all for now. There’s a game to watch and other assorted tasks to take care of.

Happy Sunday to my loved ones.

Saturday Morning Musings, That's A Challenge Edition

Good morning webheads.

I hope that everyone is warm and happy on this Saturday morning.

Big love to E-ve who had a rough trip home last night due to TTC issues. It was cold, but she was pretty bundled. Hopefully she’s thawed out by now and is comfy and cozy.

Congrats to the Raptors on another win last night. It was a game that they should have had less trouble with, but road wins are hard to come by in the NBA so I’ll just be happy with the W.

E-ve told me that it’s okay to be excited and countdown to Chuck now. So I am. Right now, while I type this we are just under 33 hours away from Chuck season 3 premiering on NBC.

Yay!

I got to watch the 1st episode of Glee yesterday on Showcase Diva. Don’t judge me. It was the first time that I had seen the episode and I very much understand why it was enough to get the hype machine moving.

Think we might have a plan for Family Day this year. It's the next holiday on the calender and a good time to hang out with Mommy Z and the animals out in the country.

High fives to everyone braving the cold. It’s chilly out there. If you’re not bundled up don’t even think about spending time out there. You’d be crazy.

E-ve and I postponed our scheduled Scrabble match from last night due to high levels of sleepiness. It was a reprieve for her as I would kick her ass. Ya that’s right, I said it. It’s a challenge. This is a throw down, a show down. Hell no I won’t slow down. Hehe

Currently watching Something, Something Dark Side on the computer at work.

Watched more Zac Brown videos on Youtube this morning. I'm starting to really dig these guys and their southern sound.

I’ll be cheering for the Dallas Cowboys tonight in the NFL play-offs. Let’s go ‘Boys!

Alright ladies and gents, I think it’s time to get some work done and check my fantasy pool picks one more time before the deadline.

Have a great weekend folks.
