Good morning friendlies.
Happy Friday to all of you. I hope it's a good lead in to your weekend.
Big ups to E-ve as she gets ready for work. And then comes over for presents and hang out time and hopefully tasty baking from last night. If you're in her section today be nice and tip well.
Cheers to Jake for being a good person and a better friend. Worry not brother, everyone is gonna be alright.
That includes Romeo who will be super awesome and very helpful if he heads to Haiti.
Mythbusters is on my TV right now. I love this show. They do all of the things that I wish I could have done in my backyard when I was a kid. And I bunch of things that I had no idea that I wanted to do, but I do now!
cp24 says that it's +2 on the thermometer right now. And that's awesome. E-ve and I are scheduled to rock a walk in the village today and that kind of temperature is quite welcome.
Someday, if/ when I'm rich, I'd like to have my own private island to live on at least part time. Not like the island from Lost, more like the island from Gilligan's Island.
Fire truck.
Big won for the Habs last night over the visiting Dallas Stars. Wins at home are important, wins against western conference teams are big too. And last night's was both. Brian Gionta had 2 goals and Carey Price was solid in the win.
Oh yeah, the Maple Leafs won as well.
Just finished my breakfast of crackers and peanut butter. While I don't eat peanut butter often I am very happy that I am not part of the nut allergy generation. I want cashews and almonds and beernuts and I want 'em when I crave 'em.
Wondering if Blockbuster will have any great value DVDs that I don't know I want and need.
I want to get in the Cash Cab.
I think that's about it for now kiddies. Have a great weekend and keep on smiling. Love one another and so on.
Like wham!

Thursday Morning Musings, 300th Post And Love And Prayers And Milk And Eggs Edition
Good morrow mes amis.
I hope that everyone's Thursday has started well.
First off, big, huge positive thoughts out to E-ve's mum this morning and thank yous to the staff that will be taking amazing care of her.
Secondly, big ups to E-ve for being the awesome. With me and her friends and her family she is pretty remarkable.
Thirdly, positive thoughts to the people in Haiti. They are in need of all that we can give, and that may soon include Romeo. He'll be taking our love and prayers with him. And there will be love waiting for him when he gets home.
Today marks another nice round number milestone here at the muse. It's the 300th post since I started this thing last January. The numbers pile up really quickly and this one almost passed me by when I wasn't looking. Thanks to everyone that has stopped in to check out any of the first 299 posts.
I've picked up all of the baking supplies and accessories that I need for E-ve's surprise. It almost looks like I'll be baking for a 6 year old. But I'll make it work.
The Wine Rack lady just got back to the store after a break and a sign on the gate that said be back in 5 minutes. I'm going to wait a minute to go in though. Don't want to look too anxious.
Thank you to Walmart for teaming up with the Canadian Red Cross and letting customers add donations to their purchases. The money is being sent to help the Haitian relief effort.
I think that I'm all done for today.
I hope your day is great wherever you are.
Thanks again.

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.

Monday Morning Musings, Pretty Snow And Brand Expansion Edition
Good morning all.
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.

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.
