Three weeks.
It's been three weeks since my last post.
I must be running out of steam quicker than I thought. See, a while back (somewhere around my 200th post) I started to think that at 25o posts I would reconsider this whole blog thing.
I guess the fact that I've been slowing down so much is a pretty strong indication that 250 might be my last post.
So enjoy #241.
GRTTWAK
- First of all, tonight is the big night for Grownups Read Things They Wrote As Kids - Part Deux. Dan is hosting this fun night at the Victory Cafe on Markham, south of Bloor, near Honest Ed's. I'm looking forward to it, though I'll have to go home to get my story. I forgot it in my rush out the door this morning. It's been that kind of week.
That Kind Of Week
- Broke my nose playing ultimate frisbee last weekend. Did I mention that? Yeah. Kinda sucks. I'm all crooked now.
That Kind Of Week II
- Burned my wrist while ironing the other day. Did I mention that? Yeah. Kinda sucks. I'm all scarred now.
Facebook
- I'm sure I could write a whole essay on this one (and I assume others have). The verdict's still out on this one, in many respects. But, I gotta admit, this last month has been interesting; catching up with names and faces I hadn't seen in years. It's like looking back on a whole other life.
Hot Docs
- Checked out the Toronto Hot Docs festival last week. I'd have to say it wasn't worthy of its own post, despite the fact that I saw several films (thanks to my "industry pass" - the only perk I've seen from this job so far). The films I saw came across as rather amateurish. Some will be on tv soon, so you can judge for yourself.
Mainstream Films
- I plan to see Hot Fuzz and Spider-Man 3 soon, so stay tuned for those reviews. Probably in posts 242 and 243.
UFC 70
- A largely disappointing event, especially for Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic fans. The Croatian Sensation was knocked out by a high leg kick at the very end of the first round in a shocking upset. The dream card of Cro Cop vs. Randy "The Natural" Couture will have to wait until at least the end of the year. Let's hope UFC 71 is better. Even UFC President Dana White admitted "Nations Collide" was a bust.
My New Cell Phone
- I broke down and got a cell phone last month. It's a Fido pay-as-you-go type of deal. I pay $10 for a month and get calls for $0.30/min anytime. I can receive texts for free, but it costs $0.15 to send. So far, I've been pretty happy to have it. I've used it a few times in the very scenarios I envisioned: trying to coordinate with friends while "on the road". Big thanks to my friend Christine who gave me her old phone. The sound quality is better than any other cell phone I've used (my major compaint).
What else....hm...think that's about it. The usual stuff still applies: hate Bush, haven't been to McDonald's...
Hmmm.. this was a pretty lame post. Sorry about that, folks. I might need suggestions to get me even as far as 250!

Phil, I would like to read more posts about your feelings. Perhaps you could start writing more about that. Your feelings. Phil, how do you feel?
Tristan is so funny! Tristan you are so funny!!! Phil, you need some inspiration. I suggest a blog about what you, Diane and I were discussing at the end of last night... I think diagrams would help. Lol.
..."at the end of last night."
Wow. That sounds way dirtier (and more fun!) than I think you intended, KA.
As for the topic, don't encourage me! I have no shame, you know - and I will name names! (Getting people to give feedback to clarify things would be the hard part)
Besides, diagrams would make my blog totally NSFW! I can't have that...
You broke your nose? It didn't look all broke 'n stuff when I saw you!
I like reading about your feelings too. Since I don't see you near as often as before.
Sigh.
