First of all, I want to let everyone know that I'm the Frusion Breakfast Brawl Champion. If you click the above link you'll see that I hold both #1 and #2 on the Top Scores list (I misspelled "ENG" as "EG" for #1...)



Beat my score!

Went to Calgary for the weekend, spent much too much money. Sadly enough, I always do that. Sometimes I'm glad I live in Vulcan, and I think my bank account will agree with that.

Also, before the weekend the folks came out and my dad charged my car battery up and I was back on the road. Got the muffler replaced over the weekend, as there was a GIGANTIC hole in it. So far it's running okay. Let's hope it lasts.

Picked up the Jay-Z/Linkin Park compilation as well. I don't really like Jay-Z, but his partner stuff is great. Besides this mix, there's also a bootleg copy of "The Grey Album", a fan-made combination of Jay-Z's "Black Album" and The Beatles' "White Album." Yes, Jay-Z and the Beatles. Surprisingly the songs are quite decent.

Me and the cousins rented some movies as well, and bought some too. After much deliberation, and after turning down Frankenfish (much to my disappointment) we decided to get The Terminal. While we were standing in line I noticed the bargain bin of $0.99 movies, so we began scrounging through those and decided we would get the ones with the most awful names. We ended up with Tortilla Soup and A Murder of Crows. The latter we got more because my brother was hoping it was The Crow 2, and I was hoping it was the movie version of one of my favorite books. It was neither, but it was not bad.

Tortilla Soup, on the other hand, we had no idea at all what to expect. So, we took bets on what kind of movie it would be. Katie said Comedy, Chris said Classic, Jamie said Drama, and I said horror. It ended up being a comedy, so-so for the most part but excellent in a few specific moments.

There was also a period of about three minutes in the movie where the two characters onscreen talked ENTIRELY in Spanish. So we of course took it upon ourselves to make up the dialogue, which was all in all probably one of the most entertaining things about the movie.
