I love it when a plan comes together!

So earlier today I watched the new A-team movie with my good pal "Dr. Teeth". I have to say over all it was exceedingly enjoyable. It took me back to being a young man watching A-team reruns and playing with my oldest brothers action figure of "Face". Let me first mention that almost any movie starring Liam neeson will probably be enjoyable in my books as I've never seen a movie that he was in that I didn't think he at least was great. yes... I even liked him in " the phantom menace". Anyway, The movie had a quick pace and almost all of the action was acceptably over the top; except for one small instance near the end of the movie. All of the actors portrayed their characters in a manor which pleased me, and the movie was really fun. I highly recommend it.
I'm giving this movie 8.5/10 and I'm probably going to buy it at some point in my life. If you haven't seen it yet and are on the fence as to wether you should or not, I can tell you you're probably safe to go and watch it. Odds are you'll like it a lot.

In other news ...nothings really happening, Hence the lapse in my blogging schedule.Hopefully something will occur in the next few days that warrants me actually posting something on this barren wasteland that is a Blog. Me and several friends are going to be taste testing several different kinds of Mac and cheese to see if we can tell the difference between the new vegetable flour pasta and the original pasta... This is the roller coaster of excitement that is my life. Someone please pray for me or something.

Later days everyone.

The great chili profusion of 2010

With my lovely wife returned to me, my experiment to see whether I could eat nothing but chili for her entire absence (except breakfast) has come to an end. Let me first say that whenever someone heard I was doing this I received a pretty constant flow of pity and concern as a response. I don't fully understand this response as; 1. not only was it a conscious decision. but 2. It's probably better than what I otherwise would have been eating.

I mean really, why the pity? It's delicious and nutritious. I've probably had more vegetables in the past twenty days than I have in the past twenty weeks. I've had three different kinds of peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, corn, beans, onions and garlic (I realize not all of those are veggies, let's move on). The concern I understand, Chili is not the known for being gentle and calming on the insides or those around you...but fear not gentle readers I have insides like steel.

Now to the results! I feel I was quite successful, aside from breakfast and a couple of invitations out for dinner from friends and concerned well wishers(it would be rude to refuse on account of a ridiculous experiment) I ate nothing but chili for a solid twenty days. I found that the outcome was a near immunity to the "ill" effects of beans (I don't need to clarify that, do I) and several delicious and very cost effective meal ( it came to about 2.50 a meal). The only ill effects I suffered other than eventually becoming tired of chili ( It's not my favorite food, just the healthiest) was my tears started to smell vaguely of chili. My eyes started to water one day and I discovered after wiping them that they smelled like the meals I was eating...they did not taste of chili, they tasted of salt.

Not the most scientific of experiments but mostly done out of the curiosity if I could do it, not the need to know what the effects would be. You may expect my Canada day blog tomorrow but I wouldn't, I guess we'll see...

Later days everyone, enjoy your Canada day festivities and I'll see you again soon.
