Woot! Today I had a nice little check in the mail, just shy of $2000. It was a rebate for insurance premiums I had paid over the last 15 years for a cancer policy. It was one of their selling points when I took the policy, if I don’t make any claims [...]
I got a PS3 a couple months back but so far I still don’t have many games for it. While the system -is- good, basically the same as the XBox 360 when it comes to graphics and sound, I don’t like the controller as much. One place where the PS3 controller really shines [...]
It’s not that I didn’t like the game the first time I tried it out, it’s that I had only rented it and only recently did I find a copy to buy at a decent price. In fact I loved the game. It’s fun and it’s a good change of pace from the [...]

Owning a house can be a wonderful thing but one thing to keep in mind is that eventually you’ll be needing to do some home improvements. Aside from the regular maintenance like cleaning gutters or re-doing the roof, there are a variety of addon projects that one can partake in to make a nice [...]
It’s Canada day and the weather is great. Sunny but with a light breeze to keep things from getting too hot. Gonna take the lil monster out to visit her grammie & grampie today and let her run around outside for a while and chase the kittens around. Maybe blast off a few fireworks tonight [...]
