Pan's Labyrinth

Well some time has passed since the last time I have seen a movie in a theater, and Dan and I wanted to see something good but light. I was all gun-ho to see Norbit, however the web site Rotten Tomatoes gave it 9%, and Dan did not want to waste his time on a bad movie, so he suggested Pan's Labyrinth. Now he did not know anything about this movie, and he thought that it would be light, but good, was he in for a surprise.

Oh it was good, one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, however it is dark, gory, and sad. This had to be one of the best told fairy tails I have ever seen, even with the subtitles (mind you, I was not happy at first with the the fact that the movie was subed, however, its draw you in so fast, that it's not an issue).

This movie was rated 14+ in Canada, and I think it should be rated "R" (Yes, for me it was that gory, but it made the movie feel real).
8/10 This is a must see for people over 18

On a another note, Thank you hethos for the post card from London I just got it on Friday, I think I will start doing that as well. Send post card to people when I go on vacation

End of My Vacation

Well, we got back yesterday, and I finally got a good night sleep. The cruises was good and relaxing, and did not do anything, witch was the best thing about it.

Here are some pictures of the cruise, I did not do too much, so I don't have too meany.

This is Dan on my computer in the Air Canada First class lounge. Thanks again Feli.

This was the Holiday Inn that we stayed in, before day before the cruises, it was a really big room, however the bed were hard, and I did not get any sleep.

Playing golf on the top of the cruise ship.

 

Leaving port, in Ft Lauderdale Florida. 

Watching movies "under the stars" as they put it. This ship had an outdoor LCD screen for watching movies. It was nice, but the picture could have been better.

I did go to the gym when I was there, and I did not gain weight, so I'm happy with myself for that.

Getting off the boat and and heading out to the beach. For most of the time I stayed on the boat, however I did get off to play some beach volleyball. I don't have any pictures of me playing

I should go to bed now. There are more pictures on my Flickr page, if you want to look. talk to you later.

Connected Vacation

Second day of my connected vacation, and the connection is brutally slow. We are on the ship now, The Caribbean Princess of Princess Cruises, and day has gone by so fast. I'm too tiered right now, and I'm going to bed. I will talk to you later

End of first day of my Connected Vacation

Well we arived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, un-scathed, despite air Canada best efforts, (Just joking the flight was fine). We were sitting beside, Ann from Thornhill. An older lady heading on a cruise as well.

The in-flight movie was "Open Season". I can't say too much about this one, I was looking at it one of those small LCD screens that are over your head, and the one that was set up for my set was too close, so I could not see any that happened in a cave or at night or under water. However The movie felt old and done already, it was not funny, and did not do anything for me.
4/10 Nothing new here

After waiting a bit for our luggage, and saying good by to Ann, we were off to the hotel, Holiday Inn Express, too meet up with Dan's parents. When we got there we were pleasantly surprised, at how nice the room was, and how big it was. Dan's father had some points so, we did not have to pay for the room, witch was so nice. Anyways, we went to get some McDonalds (there goes my diet ), across the street; (god, their street are so wide, how are people suppose to j-walk!) We saw Dan's parents, and they told us the hell they had to go though to get here; Lets just say that they will never fly Air Canada again (no surprise). And now I'm doing this blog entry and going to bed.

I hope to post from the ship tomorrow, if I can't I will post again next sunday. Talk to you later.

First Day of my Vacation

Things are going well so far, I don't think I have forgot anything, there was no traffic going to the air port, my mother and brother are looking after the house and Frodo, and my dad will pick us up when we get back, I think we are all set.

whenever I go though security, I'm always delayed, just a bit, and the people that I'm traveling with always have to wait for me. It's always something; looking at my computer; patting me down, in a random search; just any number of things, and this time was no different. I had all my stuff out and ready to scan, my shoes and belt were off, I was ready to go. I walked though (no beeps, good), but my stuff was still in the scanner; what's going on. The security people were all running, and looked like they did not know were to go or what to do, and I'm thinking that it has something to do with my computer. However they were not looking or talking about me or the computer. 2 minutes go by and they are still running around talking about something, then I find out that someone want to take a brake, and they are trying to find someone to take that person place. It's always something.

I got my stuff, and now I get to partake in the big treat, before our flight, we get to go and sit in the first class lounge. Yes the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge. It's not the most posh place in the world and it is not worth the money, however it is nice and quiet, and the chairs, are nice and comfortable. I really have to thank Feli again for giving Dan and I the guess passes; Thanks Feli!!. I'm writing this blog entry from a work station, in the lounge. I only thing that upsets me is that they should have this for all people that come to the airport. it dose not feel like it would be hard to do.

I hope to post all week, so I will try to do another post when we get to our hotel in Florida, we should have internet access there. Hope to talk to you later.

I Suck at volleyball

I did not do too well in volleyball last night, I was stiff, and could not move, so we lost 2 out of three games, I hope I can pick it up for the next game monday game I play, witch will be in 2 weeks, I will be gone on vacation. I have a Thursday volleyball game this week, and I really need to work hard with this last game.

I hope to keep up with my physical activities, wile on vacation, but I find it hard to do so, without going to a scheduled class. I also find it hard to push myself out side of the group exercises environment, so I hope that this is the year that I change all of that.

Oh and on another note, Dan and I are watching the 24 one hour a day, so now we are only on episode "hour #2". This may not have been a good idea, people are talking about how good the 4 hours were, and I don't want to know anything that happens.
