Bonjour mes amis.
Bon job making it to Friday. I'm proud of you all.
Big ups to E-ve at work on a split today. Whether you stop in for lunch or dinner today make sure you smile big and tip bigger.
Speaking of tips, follow Jake to his new location next week and tip him well. It'll be worth the trip to the new place.
Catwoman is on TV and that makes me sad. There are a lot of other channels on my cable package, and I'll find something else. But still, that movie was so bad.
Great win for the Raptors in New York last night. The turnovers almost killed the home team but they were able to pull out a win with lots of good ball movement and dribble penetration. Job well done boys.
A+ to E-ve for great pancakes and bacon last night. It was a great dinner that finished off a day of grocery shopping and cleaning in the apartment.
The grocery shopping was a success. The fridge, the freezer and the cupboards are stocked.
Highlights included:
-Soy
-Fish
-Chicken quarters
-Mini-Wheats (blueberry and also brown sugar)
-Cheese
-Eggs
-Pork chops
-Veggies
-etc.
It is cold out in the world today. If you're headed out be sure that you're bundled up please and thank you.
"Wok this way!"
Happy Friday kids.

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.

Tuesday Morning Musings, Marvel's Making Decisions Edition
I'm mobile again today as last night's prime time TV line-up is playing on the computer here at the store. I'm not complaining. It was a good night for TV.
Big ups to E-ve for being the awesome! And good luck at school with the registering for new classes. She's crazy smart you know, I'm worried about Trivial Pursuit.
Exciting news as Romeo's new blog is up and live at www.semi-dailyplanet.blogspot.com when I get to the computer it will be the newest link in the blogroll.
Last night I wrote a piece that will be the first note on the new facebook page. And it may also lead to something new at blogspot.com as well. We'll have to wait and see how that goes.
Last night I also bought the new Kevin Smith book. Shooting the Sh*t with Kevin Smith, the best of SModcast. It's a funny read if you're a Smith fan. In fact, I missed my stop on the subway last night on the way home from work.
I am disappointed with the Toronto Raptors right now. Last night they had a huge lead on the road in Indiana, and they effing blew it.
My only consolation prize was that Tyler Hansborough showed me that he can be a real NBA basketball player. He's a North Carolina legend and now a serviceable big man in the pro's.
It's a sunny and cold day in the city. Everyone is bundled up. E-ve is thinking warm thoughts.
I read today that the Spider-man franchise has decided to reboot. The original release date was to have been set for summer 2011 but Marvel has now pushed the date to 2012 and Director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire are both out. It will be interesting to see what they decide to do here. Marvel has a lot of irons in the fire in the next few years. Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, X-Men and The Avengers are all in their plans. Oh, and Iron Man 2 is coming out this year.
Time to wrap things up. I have some junk to do and I have to pee.
Have a great day my friends, and if you’re only here this one day a week, I’ll see you next Tuesday.

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.

Friday Morning Musings, Found One! Edition
Good day to all of my friends, family, foes and fans.
I hope you're all having what's shaping up to be a great Friday.
Thursday was a pretty awesome day for today to compete with. E-ve had a pretty good birthday and I was happy to be part of it.
Her mum did a great job getting some M&M steaks for their dinner and then it was karaoke time. She did a great job singing Out Tonight from RENT and also Love Will Keep Us Together. Hearing her sing makes me smile. We also got to hang with a few of her friends from the restaurant. Everyone had big smiles, chips and salsa and laughs. Good times.
P.S. Thank you to the TTC street car and bus drivers for making a pretty sweet exception and getting her home quicker, warmer and safer than what could have been. Much appreciated.
We also got to share a few funny moments as some of the patrons would have fit perfectly at a bar we used to sing at in Ottawa.
I had a good time trying 2 songs that I had never sung before as well. The 1st was Use Somebody by the Kings of Leon. I felt pitchy to start but was happy with it overall. The 2nd was Chicken Fried by the Zac Brown Band. I had some trouble with the flow of some of it. But the chorus and I got along just fine and I dig that song. It's still in my head.
The cable is being dumb. Digital radio is all I have access to.
Tomorrow marks the start of the 2nd half of the CBC fantasy hockey season. It also means that if I get my stuff together and make good picks I might be able to make a run at the KIA they are giving away. Wish a dude luck.
I was very confused by the whole colour thing in all the girls statuses on FB yesterday. I did figure it out. And I am made to understand that it's in support of Breast Cancer awareness. As long as everyone knows what it's about I think it was probably wide reaching enough to spread some serious awareness.
Does anyone else remember when Heroes was worth waiting for every Monday night?
In other Monday night entertainment news: Chuck is "this close" to being back. There is a 2 episode shot for your viewing pleasure on Sunday night, followed by another episode on Monday night. IMDB is showing 12 episodes for this season which means a quarter of their season is coming up in the next 4 days.
I hope everyone is finding a way to stay warm on this chilly day.
I think that's all for now mes amis.
Have a great day. Happy Friday!

Thursday Morning Musings, Happy E-ve's Birthday Edition
Good afternoon friendlies.
First and most importantly, it is E-ve's birthday. She's 1 year older than she was yesterday. But she looks pretty darn good.
Here's hoping that dinner with her mum and dad is great and karaoke with friends is a blast.
Mobile quick fire time.
I'm disappointed that Roberto Alomar did not get voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame yesterday. He was the most exciting player that I ever got to watch.
Congratulations to former Montreal Expo, Andre Dawson who was voted into the HoF. Here's hoping his plaque shows an Expos cap forever in Cooperstown, NY.
And lastly on the baseball front, Randy Johnson retired this week. The Big Unit was amazing both physically and in performance. I saw him pitch one Sunday afternoon from the 2nd row and he wowed me.
The cold snap has ended for now. It's only about -4 today with very little wind chill.
Now that E-ve's birthday is here I have started the countdown to Chuck on Sunday, January 10/ 2010.
I'm almost out of Christmas chocolates. More needed shortly.
My shawarma was so spicy at lunch today that my eyes watered and my sinuses have cleared. Thank you my friends.
You might not believe me when I tell you this, but there are 2 reasons I'm almost excited for work Saturday. Not enough that I'll be happy to get out of bed... But we'll see how it goes.
I'm excited to report that Glee will be on Showcase Diva starting tomorrow.
I love the Batman.
Time to wrap it up I think.
We're inching closer to 300 posts. Exciting.
Have a good night friends, and a happy tomorrow.

Monday Morning Musings, Congrats To CB4 Edition
Good day to you all.
Here’s hoping that your work week has started well so far.
E-ve just fired me a message saying that lunch is crazy slow at the restaurant. So hear this my friends, if you’re hungry and didn’t bring your lunch to work it’s okay to scrape together a few dollars and eat out in January. Just remember to be friendly and tip well.
Big win for the Raptors last night at home against the San Antonio Spurs. I didn’t see that one coming at all. Congrats as well to Chris Bosh who became the all time leading regular season scorer in franchise history. Vince Carter no longer holds the title which is just fine with many Raptors fans. Now everyone is just hoping that this is one more thing that will help to convince CB4 to stay in Toronto after the season is over.
Also in the big win category is Team Canada. The World Junior Championships semi-finals were played yesterday and Canada got a little bit of a lucky break when they got the Swiss instead of Russia after an upset in the quarter-finals. Next up is Team USA in the finals on Tuesday. Canada is gunning for a 6th straight gold medal and the whole country is behind them.
I’m currently fighting off a sore throat, but I haven’t yet run into the cough and congestion that comes with a real cold. I’m hoping that tea and water and such can keep me away from what could come.
E-ve’s birthday is coming this week… so if you see her wish her a happy one even if it is a few days early.
And after we celebrate E-ve’s birthday we get to celebrate Chuck returning to TV. It’s about a thousand clicks down on the planning, excitement and importance meter, but it had to be said.
There is snow on the ground in Toronto after the first real wintery day yesterday. It’s cold again today and has been cold before, but yesterday really felt like winter with the combo of cold and snow.
I think that’s all for now mes amis. My mind kinda went blank for a few minutes.
Have a great day.
