I can’t stand it when people say they give 110% or 200% or whatever. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves. You can’t do anything more than 100 percent. Pull your heads out of your asses people!
If I’m ever with anyone, and they say something like, “It was very hard, but I gave it 110%”, I ALWAYS reply, “Oh yeah? I gave it 111%”.

You can hear the wind whistling through her head as she responds to a question with, “U.S. Americans” and “Our education, such as in South Africa and the Iraq”.
‘Star Wars’ Trumpet Solo
This one has it all: regrettable fashion, blatant lack of talent, and the pathetic light of truth.
hehe, nothing says “yo, bumrush the show” like these charts and graphs.
Heads up people!
A special episode of BSG entitled BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: RAZOR airs THIS WEEKEND! The two-hour event premieres Saturday November 24 at 9.
The special two-hour episode “Razor”, which will serve as a backdrop for the events of season four of Battlestar Galactica, tells the story of Lee Adama’s first mission as the commander of the battlestar Pegasus — and the harrowing tale of that ship’s desperate fight for survival in the immediate aftermath of the Cylon’s genocidal siege of the Twelve Colonies.
Woohoo. Gotta love the BSG.
I’m weirdly in love with Jasmine from ‘Beauty and the Geek’. Tanya, sorry you had to find out about it this way…
Jasmine is the happiest/perkiest/awesomest chick the world has ever produced. I totally love her!
Tanya went and rented three movies on Friday night. I must admit, she picked some cool stuff. In order of worst to best they were:
Mr. Brooks
Kevin Costner, Demi Moore, Dane Cook, William Hurt.
Kevin Costner & William Hurt were great together as the two sides of the Mr. Brooks character. The film itself wasn’t too bad, except for a complicated and unnecessary subplot involving Demi Moore. The subplot didn’t make sense in the context of the film, and sort of felt like a CSI episode shoved into the middle of a blockbuster film. Dane Cook, a guy I normally like, was bland as “Mr. Smith”. The serial killer stuff was cool, because the Mr. Brooks character was eerily similar to another serial killer, only a small-screen one - Dexter. Like Dexter, Mr. Brooks is ultra-calm, ultra-controlled, and a master planner. There were even moments in the movie that were strangely similar to plot lines from Dexter.
Overall, I give it 6.5 serial killings out of 10.
Transformers
Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, John Turturro.
Transformers was a ton of fun. The movie looked awesome end to end. The transforming was mega-cool, and the battle scenes made me need to change my underwear. But it wasn’t all good. Sadly, the Decepticons got little or no screen time, except for Megatron, who got free in the final 15 minutes of the film, and got his ass handed to him by a human kid. Also, the movie basically didn’t have a plot. Transformers come to earth, seek magic cube, find cube, save Earth. Still, Michael Bay did a great job of portraying the awesomeness of the transformers. ..and it was good to hear Prime’s soothing voice again. A perfect forgettable popcorn movie.
Overall, I give it 7.5 Energon cubes out of 10.
Fido
Carrie-Anne Moss, Billy Connolly, Dylan Baker, Tim Blake Nelson, Henry Czerny.
This is a great movie. I loved every bit of it - from the 1950’s school film to the final credits. Totally hilarious, blood-splattered, and zombie-licious. Everyone in this movie gives a thoroughly fantastic performance. Carrie-Anne Moss has never been better. Literally. Billy Connolly was amazing as “Fido”. Rarely does a weird little movie like this come along. If you like to laugh, like horror, like zombies, or enjoy kitsch, check this shit out! Boy, I wish I could get my own zombie too.
Overall, I give it 9 pet zombies out of 10.
Go see Fido!
My buddy Rex Venom sent me to a hilarious site yesterday. I know all my role-playing buddies will appreciate it. You know those motivational posters you see all the time? They’re always something lame like a picture of a dog licking a cat with the word “TEAMWORK” below it.
This site is full of motivational posters, but they’re all RPG related, and are brilliant.
Well, it was a good birthday weekend.
I went and bought myself a new phone. I got the new MOTOKRZR (RED). I love the design. I love that Motorola donates to African AIDS charities every time they sell one. I love the interface… but I haven’t really played with it a lot yet…
On Thursday night, Smokey, Chiara, the wifey and I went to the White Stripes show at the Molson Amphitheatre. I think this years show was even better than last year. They played 5 tunes from the new album, which was rawkin’. This band is so good live. They’re a real fans band.
On Friday night, Tanya and I met my buddy Brad and his girl Kim at the Opal Jazz Lounge on Queen Street for Summerlicious. A good three-piece jazz band (guitar, sax, bass) played while we ate. The food was good, but portions were a little small (I had a cucumber-tomato salad, pork tenderloin, and pistachio meringue).
On Saturday, Tanya and I drove out to Burlington, exchanged our shitty cable/DVR box for a new one, went to Arbys for lunch, then drove out to The Burlington Dutch Store where I bought a few bags of Redband Winegums - my total favourite candy. Redband winegums are totally difficult to get, and I’d previously been buying them from a store in Oakville which charged around $30 a bag. I got ‘em for $12.50 per bag in Burlington. My new favourite store.
Saturday night, we ordered UFC 73: Stacked. I got to watch my favourite fighter Anderson Silva destroy over-confident Nate Marquart in a pretty one-sided affair. Sean Sherk also defended his title without too much difficulty. Tito Ortiz fought Rashad Evans, and Tito would have won if not for being a chump. He was penalized a point by Big John McCarthy for holding the fence multiple times. Tito also repeatedly grabbed Rashad’s shorts, hit Rashad in the nuts, headbutted Rashad and generally did everything he could to cheat. The fight was called a draw due to Tito’s lameness. The Nogueira vs. Herring fight was crazy. Nogueira won, but he’s lucky he had Yves Lavigne as referee. Nogueira got rocked by a really nice head kick, and was essentially out… yet Lavigne let the fight continue, Nogueira recovered, came back and won the decision. If Big John had been reffing, I think Herring would have been the winner.
Finally, went to see Evan Almighty last night. (Wanted to see Knocked Up, but timing was off). Evan Almighty was pretty good. Plot holes the size of elephants, but still enjoyable. There’s something about Steve Carrell that’s just naturally likeable.
All in all, a good 36th. 
WOWEEE. Another total shocker! That makes three UFC’s in a row. First Randy Couture destroyed Tim Sylvia. Then Matt Sera destroyed Georges St. Pierre… and now Gabriel Gonzaga destroyed Mirko Cro Cop with his own signature move - a boot to the head. Crazy!!!
As for the other fights…
Bisping dominated Sinosic all fight. It looked dangerous for Bisping for a second there, but he finished in style.
The Arlovski fight was shit. It reminded me of the way Tim Sylvia fights… just sit back and win on points. Snore….
Kongo looked good beating the win out of Silva. But Joe Rogan said it right…. damn that guy needs some ground game.
Can’t wait to see Couture-Gonzaga!
