Fourth of July!

KABOOM!

As is tradition around here I watched Independence Day today with my mother and sister before they went back to New Brunswick. It was the first time I watched the movie on Blu-Ray on my own tv (last year I watched it down at Sara and Duncan's theatre) and I was pretty impressed by how it looked. Much better than the regular DVD quality.

Independence Day is my favourite movie! Watching the White House explode will never get old. Never I say!

Rock Out!

Yesterday was Duncan's birthday, and he had a little shin-dig at a downtown Mexican bar. There were plently of board games going on (I played That's Life, Bohnanza, and King of Tokyo.) It was a good time, and Duncan is old.

At one point the song 'Crazy on You' by Heart came on. Duncan and I both broke out playing the air guitar hero to the song. Heart is one of my favourite bands, Crazy on You is one of their best songs, and the intro is simply insane.




Andrew discovered that Blockbuster shifted their going out of business sales to the next level and wanted to go on an adventure at lunch to the nearby location. They'd been picked pretty clean, but I did find a couple of very cheap games I wanted to have. Guitar Hero: Smash Hits and Band Hero! Crazy on You doesn't seem to be in either one (I actually have Guitar Hero II which has it so that's ok) but it does have Barracuda.

On top of that I picked up a copy of The Usual Suspects which is a movie I thought was awesome when I saw it at movie night in university and figured I should give it another spin. Then Andrew pointed out the movie The Running Man and lamented that he didn't have anyone to watch it with. I shrugged because I'd never heard of the movie and he told me he thought I'd really like it. I then vaguely remembered Sky referencing it in passing when he posted about Hunger Games yesterday... (Turns out he was talking about the book, not the movie.) At any rate, for $3 I was willing to give it a spin since Hunger Games is the best book series I've read and Andrew says I'm sure to like this movie...

At any rate, it's time to rock out and then maybe watch a movie! (Or play League of Legends...)

Happy Fourth of July!

The Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world said in one voice:

We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish, without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

Narnian Fish

To this point I have handed in 460 spotted yellowtail, 40 purple lotus and 160 runecloth bandages. I also won an arena trinket, up to 9 now.

Went to see the Chronicles of Narnia movie last night. It's been many years since I'd read the books so I can't comment on the accuracy of the movie to the book. What I can say is I enjoyed the movie. And I think I may just read the books again.
