Monday Morning Musings, Mobile At Work Edition

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.



Like wham!

Sunday Morning Musings, Trivial Pursuit And The Raptors Win Edition

Good day y’all.


It’s a grey and mild Sunday in Toronto, but I hope there’s some sunshine in your life wherever you are.


Big ups to E-ve as she prepares herself for Trivial Pursuit this evening. I have extreme faith in her ability to run the field with her knowledge of pretty much everything.


I’m not trying to stop anyone from playing Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Trivial Pursuit or Scrabble with E-ve, but it’s a tough go if you try. I’ll stick to sports trivia and things of that ilk.


In other game news, it’s a Killer Bunnies evening in Ottawa. Good luck to everyone in the battle for the winning carrot.


Karaoke was fun last night. As I mentioned on Twitter, my 2nd song was too big for me in the end. I did too much singing along, and I blame the shot of rye for me not being able to do justice to Tim McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dyin’. The last big long note was just a little too much.


I also realized that Glee has had a huge impact because when Sweet Caroline and Don’t Stop Believin’ came on all I could think about was those damn kids doing a fantastic job with the music.


I also received my first birthday gift of the year, which was unexpected and pretty cool. A wooden baseball bat, much like the ones I had when I was a kid. It feels perfect in my hands and reminds me of days gone by.


The late night street car ride home was packed with people that must have had a great time last night because it was loud and busy.


I had a good quick visit with E-ve before I went home to change to go out last night too. We had some Tim Hortons and chit chat. I was out of it a bit from working which didn’t make me great company, but she makes me a happy dude. I’m lucky.


Sad faces as mes Canadiens lost 4-2 last night to Ottawa. It wasn’t a great effort by les boys. And it underscores the fact that Montreal scores fewer goals per game than any other team in the NHL.


Happy faces as the Toronto Raptors are minutes away from a big home win against the Dallas Mavericks. These are games that are big to win because they give us the opportunity to beat bad teams and climb the standings instead of just treading water.


Time to wrap it up for the day. It’s a short work day and we’ve got basketball, hockey and football to watch.


Have a great day.

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.
