Step Brothers
Kerri and I went to see Step Brothers last night. It was damn good, very funny and very simple. Not too much thinking going on at all in this movie.
I find Will Ferrell movies to be either hit or miss, no in between at all.
I had lots of laugh out loud moments which is pretty rare for me.
Any way you should go see it, you wont regret it. Promise.

Fore!
Big golf game coming up on Saturday. All the guys are coming out, well almost all the guys. Should be good times, we are playing at Dundee Country Club in the morning.
I haven't been out since last year's Heritage Design tournament, so to say I am rusty would be an understatement. I really want to get out to the range at least once this week to shake off some of that rust but time is ticking.
I still don't have an 8 iron either, haven't had one for about 5 years, some how I still manage to shoot a respectable 100. I'm sure if that 8 iron was in my bag I could count on at least 20 strokes coming off my score. Maybe I will have to hit up play-it-again sports. Or maybe I wont, and just hold that excuse in my back pocket for a rainy day.

John Mayer = Funny Dude...
Tell me who has NOT been in this situation with a family member.
Knowing some of the other videos of John Mayer on the net I can see this as being fake but my god is it ever funny.

Come on Stamps!
Geeeez. The Stamps lost last night to the then winless Blue Bombers. The shitty part being that the winning play looked an awful lot like the winning play the Edmonton had against earlier in the season.
Maybe the Stamps D isn't very clutch or maybe the Bombers got lucky, I don't know, but I do know that the Stamps dressing room was not full of smiles and ass slaps after that game.
On a positive note, we are having a guest this weekened. MacKenzie is coming up tonight and then being picked up Sunday afternoon. Should be fun times, I have no idea what we are going to do, but sure we will think of something!
Weekend! Woo!

UFC Fight Night
Pretty good show Saturday night for the UFC.
I was happy to see Anderson Silva destroy Irvin. I don't think anyone will be able to stop Silva, especially with him moving weight classes and showing no signs of rust. It was incredible to watch.
Also incredible was the Markham v. Faber fight. For the first 1:35 Faber looked to be in control but that all changed in a blink of an eye. Great KO kick.
The Vera fight was pretty shitty, he got the win but man was that a boring ass fight.
I'm looking forward to GSP laying down the law come Aug 9th, that should be a good fight.

The importance of stretching...
Went into to Brantford for a Citi Financial softball tourny on the weekend. It was pretty nice weather until about 4 then the skies opened up and the rain came down HARD.
We played two games, lost the first one, and won the second. I hit like shit, over the two games but played really well in the field. Mostly stayed in center field, grabbing fly balls, lots of running.
My legs are killing my still, Sunday was not a good time as I could barely walk around the house. Hip flexor being the main problem, can hardly raise my legs.
It was a really fun time. A big storm rolled in and cut it all short, I don't think we were going to be in the finals but we would probably have had to play one more.

Go figure...
So I got the GPS working on the iPhone. I had to read some forums and I don't know what the hell happened but it's working now so that is all that matters.
One more piece of the iPhone pie coming together.

Poor people = drunk people = loud people
They may be on to something!
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=243557
Hell maybe be saving money on the ticket you can then afford to buy more beer, which ultimately leads to getting drunk and jumping on the ice with just a jock and tuque on.
How do I get these tickets??

So much fun!
So Kerri dropped me off my new iPhone yesterday on her lunch break (isn't she nice).
Really liking it so far. Been farting around with it a lot, downloading apps, taking pictures, posting to Twitter and Pownce.
It's very very cool. Seems fairly fast, and reliable so far.
There are times it seems to lag just navigating around, but minimal.
Was able to connect to my wifi network last night with no issues at all.
Downloaded the Remote app from iTunes, and that worked like a charm too, in fact I was sitting out on the deck with a beer in my hand controlling my music just how I hoped I would be able too.
Wish the Remote app had a bit more options in it, like being able to add a song to the party shuffle mix. Maybe I just haven't found that option yet who knows?
Got my gmail account set up on it too, I can easily send and receive, view pdf, word, and excel files. It's just cool.
Go buy one :)

Itching!
So I now own an iPhone!
The problem? It's not in my hands! Kerri has it up at her work, she got it from the Rogers store in her plaza.
I went all for nothing on it too, got the 6gb plan with a my 5 plan that includes some long distance. Way over the top but why the fuck not eh :)
Now just have to call and cancel my Bell mobile and see about dropping down Vonage to their basic plan rather than the unlimited.
I'm giddy :p

Seriously?
Such up and drink your beer.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/14/busch.reax/index.html
The dude that owns the company doesn't care about you. He cares about if he can get the 60' yacht instead of the 50' one now.
If nothing changes with the beer then really how does this effect you?

Monday again!
Just once I would love to some how skip Monday and go straight to Tuesday, though I suppose then Tuesday would be the new Monday.
Went down to Burlington on Saturday for a huge joint birthday bash. Got to see the whole family and my cousin Tamara was up from Nova Scotia as well. Usually see here once every couple of years so that was cool seeing her. Her and Ryan turn 30 this week/last week. That is a one large ass number.
After the lunch party, some came back up to our place for some drinking and video game action. It was good times, nice weather and fun times.
Still no iPhone, I'm waiting to get some concrete information regarding if activating a data plan is necessary to receive the promo price of $199 for the 8gb. Still hunting and waiting :)

Sans Cell Phone?
My contract with Bell is up in September which finally after 3 long ass years leaves me open to experience something new. When the iPhone was announced for Canadian release I was set in my mind that that would be my next phone. However once the details on the monthly plans were released that dream quickly faded. Now news out today says that Rogers and Fido will be offering a 6GB plan for $30/month. Much much better than the previous 300mb for $30/month. However I don't know if I can really commit to 3 more years. I would love to but really don't know.
I was thinking last night and wondered if I could go with out a cell phone. I really don't use mine a lot, its very random. Although internet access at the palm of my hands is extremely appealing. With Bell and Telus now announcing that they will be charging for incoming text messages ($.15/per) it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
So I am sitting on the fence of whether to do 3 more years with Rogers or loose the cell phone all together. Kind of an expensive decision.
I think I might have to sit on this for a bit. See what kind of corporate voice plan I can get from Rogers and see about adding the data to it.
I flip flop way too much........

Good call...
No word yet on Kerri's MacBook, I am still hunting around seeing if there may be a simple solution to the problem with her LCD. I was informed by a friend that you can purchase the LCD off EBay and install yourself. It looks a little tricky but is way cheaper than having someone do it for me.
I caught the UFC fights on the weekend, and was happy with the results, I went perfect in my picks so that is always nice. I don't see the controversy in the Griffin v. Jackson fight. I thought it was clear that Forrest won. I suppose since I was routing for him then it is easier to accept. All in all a good fight, I thought Forrest was definitely more aggressive than Rampage, it seemed like Rampage would only land punches in close and wasn't throwing much when they two were toe to toe.
I am trying to find a way to add a Twitter feed to the side of this blog, not really sure how but I think finding out should be lots of fun.
Why aren't you using Twitter?

Good news, AWFUL news...
So I got home last night and was all ready to get my new music setup up and running. I made my way upstairs and sat in front of Kerri's MacBook. Opened it up and saw a white line going across the whole screen, horizontally. I think hmmm, that's weird, I'll reboot, that always seems to fix shit.
Reboot.
Immediately on the loading screen the white line still lives. Oh shit....
My gradually shrinking knowledge of computers still tells me that this is bad. For this line to be there even when booting means something is seriously messed up with the MacBook's screen. Probably the most expensive part of the whole beast.
I do some searching and my assumptions are confirmed with postings of similar problems and no solutions other than replacing the LCD ($700?) or replacing the whole unit ($1600). Everything else is working fine, it's just this white line. So not a huge problem for the average Joe however when it comes time to do some photography work this little white line will be constantly taunting me. External monitor may be the way to go.
Oh shit....
The plus side is the Airport Express works like a charm :)

Rockin the Tunes....soon
Went out to BestBuy last night and picked myself up an Airport Express. The idea is to hook it up to our main floor stereo and play our music from Kerri's MacBook.
Down the road the ultimate goal is to get a WiFi enabled hand held device that I can use as a remote control to control iTunes from the anywhere in the house. That way I will never have to get off my ass to skip a song or set up a playlist or adjust volume. Genius I know.
Not sure what hand held device I want though, the first choice would be to use an iPhone, but as previously posted that is not going to happen. The 2nd choice is an iPod Touch, but that gets pretty pricey too. The last and far less cool choice would be to get some piece of shit off ebay that has WiFi....I like the iPod Touch idea the best, Apple is set to release their own application to do exactly what I want to do, free too. Who knows maybe ebay will have some cheap?

Finally!
So the deck that has been going on since the last long weekend in May was finally completed this past weekend. I am not very handy and tend to be a perfectionist, so when these two traits are combined you end up with a deck that takes over a month to build.
The patio furniture is already on it and we have already had drinks on it. I love how it turned out, it's just how I pictured it. Very happy. Just need to get the BBQ out there and I will be set!
