Well not completely done with it, I will still watch the news and other types of informational programming; however, I will not go out of my way to watch entertainment type programming. From now on I will wait for people to tell me a show is good, and then I may watch the “DVD”.
Oh yes, and yesterday the neighbours came over, to look at the house; we are thinking of moving and so are they. I really don’t want to move at this time, but moving downtown may be better for us, financially.
So if you have not seen the first movie Elizabeth, and you like movies about history, shame on you; Elizabeth was an amazing film. As for this one; Elizabeth: the Golden Age, I would say that it is not as good as the first, and that is too bad. It had all the story elements for a good film, it just did not flow well. The film looks good, the actors are all good in it, and the fact that it's history, you would think that this could not disappoint. Well it did disappoint; some scenes felt way to long, and other scenes that had more historical information were way to short.
I did not walk away from the film hating it, but I wanted it to be more in the end. 
5.5/10
Last week I had my first wisdom tooth removed, and it was not as bad as a thought. Well the removal was not too bad, however, a few hours later I was in real pain, and the pain lasted for the next 6 days. This was the first time in my life, were I let myself take some drugs so that I could get relief.
Even thou the removal of the tooth was not that bad, it took my dentist, around 20 minuets to remove it, (when it should have taken 5 minuets). He was scared that my tooth was going to brake, and that would have been bad. lucky for the both of us, it came out all in one piece. He told me that he waited keep my tooth and show it to his students, because my roots were pointed out to the side, and not strait up, and he was surprised that he got it out without braking it, (lucky for me). However, to me it just looks like a normal tooth, what do you think?
My next appointment is in February and I'm not looking forward to it. 
OK, I have not blogged in a long time, and I don't know how long I will continue blogging, but I thought that I would give it another try.
This entry will be a short one. A few days ago I was listening to a podcast, a podcast about windows, Windows Weekly. Well they were talking about, MS Live, and the new Live bata download, you can get it here. Anyway's, today I saw this link in the new Photo Gallery program, "Create Panoramic Photo"; so I thought that I would try it out, and this is what I got.
First, I did my office, it did not work that well, you can see the errors in the picture.
These are the posters that I just put up, in my office
My Family room, with Frodo. This one worked out well.
and the Living room with the front door.
I think I will have some fun with this tool. Now I'm thinking that MS is not that bad, and I might not get a Apple. Well still thinking about it.
The last few days have been long, but things are going well, however I did miss going to the gym (which is not good)
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
This past Friday, Rod, Hethos, and I went to see, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. It was not a bad movie; however I was a bit disappointed. I don't want to give anything away, but I felt that the end was a big letdown. And there was less action in this one, then the second, I feel. As usual the effects were amazing, and the pace was good, however I was expecting a bigger action scene at the end. Oh well on to the next summer movie
5.5/10 it’s just ok
Saturday, was a busy day. We first went over to my parent's house at 9am just to say hi. Then we were off to see co-workers of Dan's; she was nice. After that we ran home so that I can meet up with Jim; he was coming over (with his dog) to help me wire up the house (I really did not know what to do, and I did not want to make a mess of things).
Frodo was not happy that the other dog was in the house, and he did not behave well at all. Jim and I managed to get one of the room wired, however we still have to do my office. Later, we had a small BBQ; the stakes were really good.
Oh, and on Sunday, I finally got back to decorating my office. I put up some posters, which brought me back to my childhood.
Well this has been a bad week. First, last Saturday night my cell phone (O2 Atom) stop working, and it looks like they can’t fix it. Then on Tuesday we woke to find our six year old refrigerator not working and all the food in the freezer had gone bad. Then On Thursday I found myself stuck at work until 9:30pm and missed my Thursday night beach volleyball game (that one was my fault). I hope things get better this week.
Shrek the Third
Last Saturday, We saw Shrek, and I was a bit disappointed. I guess the first two were so good, that this one had a large mountain to climb. The main problem for me was that I did not find myself laughing, and I was a bit bored. The ending was a big letdown, and I felt the movie did not flow well, (what ever that means). Maybe they just ran out of good ideas. I would not say it was a bad movie, but I could have skipped this one
5/10 You can skip this one
Spring has come to our back yard.
Some birds have come and built a nest in one of our trees, I think we should name them. I just a bit worried that the nest is too low, and if Frodo see it, he may not be too happy.
LOL, this is too funny, now I know why there are so many people I know on Facebook.

I know that this a cheap ploy, to get more people to use Windows Live Messenger. But I’m using IM Messenger anyways, and it does not hurt me in any way, so I did it. Take a look, and see what you think. (thanks for the link Feli)
So I saw Spider-man 3 this weekend…. Well… I did not hate it, but I did not love it. So what was done right for me, and what was done wrong?
First the things that were good...
It had a good ending (I will not go into it, but it was good).The problems that Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) was going though, was well done, and it felt real.Thomas Haden Church, and James Franco AKA. Sandman & Harry Osborn both acted well.The effects were amazing.
Now for the bad...
First off the story felt like it dragged.
They did not need both Venom, and Sandman, they could have cleaned up the story, by just having one.This had to be the worst acting job I have ever seen Tobey Maguire do. There were parts in this movie were I felt uncomfortable watching him, and he looked uncomfortable performing them.
Oh well, on to the next movie.
4.5/10 Some will love this film just for being a spider-man movie, but it does not deliver, too bad.
This summer is going to be a good time for movies for me, weekends full of mindless dribble to watch, I love it. I know there are a lot more, but this is what I can think of right now.
Spider-Man 3, May, 4. Ok this is a must see for me. I hope it's as good as it looks.
28 Weeks Later, May, 11. I loved the move 28 Days later, and I hope that this one is half as good. If you have not seen 28 Days later, and you like zombies movies you must see that one before going to this one (for all I know this one might suck)
Shrek the Third, May, 18. Another must see, I just can't wait to see what they have done.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, May, 25 I need to see the second movie before I go and see this one. Some people told me that the second movie was really bad, and that I should not bother to see it, but now people are saying that this one looks good, so I will take the plunge.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, June, 15. The first one was just ok, but I liked it enough for me to want to see this one. And I just wanted to see how they will introduce the Silver Surfer, and all that he brings.
Evan Almighty, June, 22. Something light and funny, I hope its good, and not just stupid, we will see.
Dead or Alive, June, 22. I know, I know, this may be just as bad as Street Fighter with Jean-Claude Van Damme, but I played the game, so my interest is peeked
Live Free or Die Hard, June, 27. Yes this is old school, but might be a fun ride.
The Transformers, July, 4. Hmm, I hate this movie, but will go and see it anyway's. OK I have a lot to say about this one. I grown up watching the Transformers, so I was happy to hear that this movie was getting made, however, now I don't think this is the Transformers that I remember, and I know I will be upset about that. So I'm hoping that this is just going to be a fun ride, and that is all.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, July, 13. I have seen the 3 before this one, so I need to see what happens next.
Hairspray, July, 20. This might be fun
The Simpsons Movie, July, 27. Another must see for me. hehe
Rush Hour 3, August, 10. Blah, I laughed at the first two, so what the heck, I'll go for a third.
One day we were driving home and decided to take another route home; just so that we could take a look at some of the other houses in our neighborhood. Wile wishing that we were living on the “other side of the tracks” we came across this home, and had to take a picture.
Ok, my first reaction was… “What the hell is that, and what did they do to their place?!” Why would anyone paint characters on their garage door? However later found out that the characters are the Official Mascots of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, so I thought to myself; “That is ok, I think I would do something Canadian, if Toronto got the Olympic Games, or something as big was going on in Canada.
Yet again, a friend of mine said to me that he would be offended if this was done in his neighborhood. He said that we are in Canada, and that we should be backing our own Olympic team, and country, and he feels that this is a slap in the face to him.
Hmm… should I be offended? I don’t know. I might do something to say that my family is from Grenada, if something big was going on in there.
I guess the initial shock of seeing it turned me off, but now that I know what it is, I’m not turned off by it; it’s kind of cute, and funny. However in the fall of 2008 after the Games, if they were my neighbors, I would want it to come down.
I really did not want to see this movie, well not in a theater anyway's, and if you know me you know that don’t handle horror to well; well all I have to say after seeing it, is that I’m glad I did.
This movie will be soon forgotten, and will not win any Oscars, and Luke Wilson’s acting was not too convincing, but the movie was a thrill ride non-the-less. I really found this movie intense, almost too intense. For me there was no big surprise, and no big twist, it was just scary.
Kate Beckinsale was really good in this movie.
On Rotten Tomato's, the critics did not think much of it, however people seemed to like it.
7/10 It did what it set out to do, without the go gore.
