Update

Well it's been a while but I figure I'd do an update to clear some thoughts.

-I hosted a pizza party a couple weeks back that seemed to go well. I have some photos to post and will put them on facebook. The deficit continues to grow each time I have new pics to upload as I only put them on facebook. I still am caught between Shutterfly/Picasa/Or just taking them in to Loblaws to be processed. This new digitial age actually has produced more work than ever in managing photos.

-I have checked in on the NCBL (National capital baseball league) The forums are already up for players looking for teams so I should add myself in the near future. Can't believe it is already February.

-I signed up for a "Fundamentals of Acting" class that will be taking place on 6 consecutive saturdays starting March 8 at the Ottawa Little Theatre. I will try to make it to Improv this Wed, to keep fresh on my feet.

-For some reason, no major network decided to run the movie "Groundhog Day" this year. This disappoints me as it makes a lot more sense than showing "The Replacements" on Friday (City tv) and "War of the Worlds" on Saturday (ABC). On a related note, one has to admit that Groundhod Day has really fallen off the map completed. I used to remember this being a yearly ritual 15 years ago when people would come bustling in at school (or the office I"m assuming) analysing the decision made the groundhog early that morning (early spring or not). Sort of sad that the ritual died off.

-My classroom outreach program starts on Monday. I will be assisting a teacher in a class for up to 2 hours a week as part of the program at work.

-I am really fed up with this poker craze that is sweeping across all television networks. First it was just sports networks, now the A-channel picks it up on Saturday nights? Why do people find this interesting. It is such crap - even lower than reality tv. Why does Rogers Sportsnet think its audience would rather watch poker and be blacked out from watching the Leafs game. Sportsnet Ontario should mean Sportsnet Ontario. Show me what that people in Toronto are seeing, not some poker game.

-The following are a list of movies that I have narrowed down. Some are old but I figure this would catch me up. I have seen bits and pieces of some and would like to see them in their entirety:

E.T
Stand by Me
The Deer Hunter
Mullholland Dr.
Lost Highway
Braveheart
Rudy
Identity
Chariots of Fire

Thumbs up to Sylvester Stallone for making a real old fashioned Action Movie (80's style). It has received great ratings and I plan to see it.
Thumbs down to the writers of the utterly dismal movie, Meet the Spartans. How low can the spoof genre sink. Beyond the depths of hell seems to be the answer. THese hacks are pathetic and it is hard to believe any money can be made off the project.
