11:37 am: So, I'm 40 today.
 
Doesn't feel any different fron 39.

*wanders out*

01:31 pm: I am reading a novel. The first actual you-can-buy-it-in-store Novel I have read in nearly two years. No, that's not the real news. The news is :  IT IS NOT ON PAPER. That's right, it's an e-book. And I'm reading it on my shiny new

SONY READER.

For those of you who Don't know what that is: www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay

Excuse me, I'm going back to my book now.

06:40 pm: Writer's Block: The Final Frontier

Not that different. It was only a TV show. Sure it had an influence, but in the grand scheme of things, not as much as people seem to think. After all, Roddenberry didn't INVENT science fiction. Stop pretending he did.

07:45 pm: A reason to keep the X-box 360 connected to the main TV
Bell Canada (joining iTunes Canada and X-Box Live) is now selling downloads of movies and TV series (legal d/ls in Canada finally!). And apparently I can stream it from my computer to the TV through the X-Box.

*looks through listings* 
...

Now if only they had something I actually wanted to watch. : /

11:23 am: My first Con
This weekend I'm heading to the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. I've never been to anything like this before.

Tricia Helfer, George Takei, Kevin Sorbo, and Micheal Rosenbaum are going to be there! I'd like to see if I can get a photo with at least one (Tricia preferably).

01:42 pm: God I hate wrong numbers.

"Who am I speaking to? What number is this?"

How rude is that? That is personal information you don't need. Just ask for the person you are looking for, if it's right, THEN identify YOURSELF. If it's a wrong number, hang up and try again.

The telephone has been around for more than a century. You'd think people would learn the proper etiquette.

01:16 pm: It is C-O-L-D today. Wind Chill of -45 C. that's -49F to you south of the border.

Nobody is going anywhere today.

09:29 pm: My back loves me again
I have a new matress. 8 inches of memory foam.

It is comfortable. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I went back after my kids were out of the house. Slept until about 40 min. before I had to go get the little one. Used to be if I did that, I would wake up with a massive headache. Not this time. XD

03:59 pm: Happy New Year
And no, I will not be making any resolutions. I never do.

12:51 pm: My father passed away just after noon(MST) today. He was 82.

My sister was with him and she said he looked peaceful.
