What the hell...

I watched the season finale of House last night. At least I hope was only the season finale. The way it ended almost made me think it was the series finale. PLEASE tell me it ain't so. I mean House lost his entire team last night. Is this the end? I thought House was a popular show, I know I liked it. Can anyone tell me if it will be back on next season?

Children of Men

We watched Children of Men (Clive Owen was awesome) the other night. The synopsis sounded interesting and it was available on video on demand (digital cable feature) so we thought what the heck, let's watch it. It was totally depressing (happy ending, of course) but wow, what a fantastic movie. For all you parents out there, this movie will make you appreciate your children a whole lot more. Basically it takes place in 2027, 18 years after every woman in the world becomes sterile (due to some manmade mega screwups). The world is in total chaos. Clive Owen's character is hired to try and get an illegal immigrant woman, who is miraculously pregnant, out of the country (England), onto a ship, heading to a place working on the Human Project. I could not even imagine not hearing the laughter of children, seeing all those beautiful little faces wherever you go. As Meio said to me after the movie was over, the remaining school buildings would become very sad places, as well as playgrounds/parks. I highly recommend Children of Men. I think I'll read the book.

Amazing



This is the plant I got for mother's day. It's been 2 weeks and not only have I not killed it, it's still green and healthy looking. Meio said he deliberately picked a low maintenance plant.
So we've gone from like 7cm of snow to about 21 degrees in a couple of days. Totally messed up.

Definition of cute....

..Rosie prancing around singing the only two words she knows from her favorite song (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star). All I hear is her little sing song voice going "Twinkle, star" over and over again. Future Canadian Idol contestant? It's pretty cute, but I have to pretend not to notice 'cause she's shy about singing in front of others.

It Is Almost June....Right?



Ok so I woke up this morning to snow. Not just snowing but it had stuck, snow covering everything. What the hell...we don't live in Antarctica! Seriously when are we gonna get spring, let alone summer?
Now for all you guys out there...why the hell do you think slapping your girlfriend's/wife's ass is a big turn-on for her? I tell you what...it's actually annoying and mostly just pisses us off. I only mention this as I saw a young guy doing this to his gf yesterday. I know that when that happens to me all I want to do is punch Meio in the head (don't get me wrong, I love him but you know that totally irks me). And if it's all about a caveman ownership thing, guys, get over it, it's a new millennium, women are kicking butt. That's my rant for today!

Another Birthday Message

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BF SHAN. HOPE IT'S A GREAT ONE!

SO COOL



Watched the season finale of Heroes last night (twice). WOW! That was the coolest episode of any TV show I've ever watched. The ending was totally not expected. Unfortunately now I have to wait til September or October to see the next season. We got a sneak peek at the season premiere for next year...looks interesting.

Happy Mommie's Day

Hope all mommies out there are having a good day. I got this pretty creeping vine plant thingee with candle holders. I'll post pics later. Today Rosie got a new raincoat, hat and rubber boots. This because it got a little rainy today and she loves to play in our yard (not to mention the puddle jumping). Meio and miss Rosie just went to pick up pizza for supper. Tonight we're going to order a movie on pay per view (did I mention that I love my digital cable?). I think we'll watch Stranger Than Fiction, a Will Farrel movie.

Bleh!

So everyone in my house is sick. That made for a fabulous first weekend in our new place. Rosie started power puking on Friday and was up all night. Now everyone has a nasty headcold (including Ryan). We got a notice in the mail on Friday telling us we would have no water tomorrow as they are upgrading the watermain. Hmmm...sick kids, no water, sounds like fun. Vancouver is out of the playoffs. All in all its been a crappy few days.
On the bright side I got to watch the Heroes episode that I missed (too frickin cool) and its on again tonight (YAY). My digital cable totally rocks (you hear that Shayne, it rocks). All the cool shows are on at different times so if for instance 10 pm is too late for you to stay up to watch, say Heroes, you can watch it at 7,8 or 9 o'clock on various other channels.

Back Online

So we now have internet, phone and cable (digital) at our new place. Last night we had the best pizza we've had in Calgary so far (probably the 2nd best pizza I've ever had) and it came from this little place less than 5 minutes (walking) away from our house. Today I'm gonna bundle up the kids (its a little chilly) and go to the library (there's one within walking distance, yay!). Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. Gotta go unpack some more stuff.
