Went to watch a Baseball game today at Skydome. Was quite nice. Relaxing for a change. The Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays. Blue Jays lost even though they were leading majority of the game. Just completely lost it somewhere near the 6th inning.
As for the Skywalk, the photograph is from a section of the roof from the walkway between Union Station and Skydome

JAlbum : Software to display multiple pictures in one sitting. Clear thumbnails, well organized, very very easy to manipulate. Only issue, no commenting system. Am going to have to figure out a database album using commenting soon.
Audiograbber : Music format conversion. Fast installation. Functionality for my purposes fulfilled.
Keyboard shortcuts available on Windows XP : Have started to use the mouse less and less, these just made it obsolete.
The cars of “I Robot” [Nomi] : Sort of in line with my current craze.
Blogsnow : What blogs link to
Kozo [Mithu V.] : Tis funny.
Batman Begins : Starring Christian Bale and Morgon Freeman. What can I say. I’ve always been a bat freak.
Release Date: June 17th 2005
Blade Trinity : Starring Wesley Snipes and Ryan Reynolds (From Van Wilder stardom. I thought he was the funniest thing alive). Eitherways point being, official site and trailer are incredible. And since both the first two movies were kickass, guess who’s gonna be watching this one.
Release Date: December 10th 2004
Suspect Zero [Ryan F.] : Movie. Starring Ben Kingsley who’s always managed to scare me a little in most of his movies. He played Gandhi once upon a time. Similar story to The Manchurian Candidate I think. Except I’m not too fond of Denzel Washington
Release date: August 27th 2004
Friday 6th August 2004:
Decided last minute to drive my own car. Which is obviously insane since it meant driving six hrs there and six hrs back. 5:00 p.m. Started out. 6:00 p.m. Finally left Toronto. 11 p.m. Fuel finished. So let the other van go ahead and stopped for gas. Started discussing concept of free will. Missed relevant stop sign. 1 a.m.; lost. Not the “where the heck are we” kinda lost, more like the “how the hell did we get here” kinda lost. Smack in Quebec. All french. No map of Quebec. Us being dumbasses. 2:00 a.m. Reached campsite. Pitched tents. By this time moi had driven for over 8 hrs with only a ten minute stop somewhere in a town called Tweed near Kaladar.
Saturday 7th August 2004:
7:30 a.m. Proceeded to wash face with freezing cold water. So cold that everyone was yelling. 8:30 a.m. Donned wet suit and felt like a rubber duck. 9:30 a.m. Left for Ottawa river via bus. 10:30 a.m. First wave hit. Felt like the world had come to an end 12:30 p.m. Had lunch by the Ottawa river. 1:30 p.m. Jumped off a 20 ft cliff into the rapids and bodysurfed 5:00 p.m. Back on shore 5:30 p.m. Volleyball match. Slid and scraped my chin. 6:30 p.m. Started BBQ, roasted marshmellows and told ghost stories which ended up being laughing riots. 1:00 a.m. Racoon showed up.
Sunday 8th August 2004:
6:30 a.m. Humza clanging a metal something or the other outside our tents. Apparently couldnt sleep. Neither could I but that didnt stop me from being cranky. Threatened to skin him alive through clenched teeth. Eitherways left for T.O. around 7:30 a.m. Got back at 1:00 p.m. Spent the next hour or so unpacking tents and sleeping bags and cleaning grill. Finally slept 4:00 p.m.
Monday 9th August 2004:
8:00 a.m. Woke up
Above is a very rudimentary itinerary. In short was the highlight of the year, was that much fun. Oh and yeah we signed over our lives before we stepped in the raft. Man these waivers… it’s like its over. he he. The end. Kapish. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.
What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?

Loved it. Was funny and different. Also thoughtprovoking. You didnt really know what was going to happen next. also the end was nice and slick. I always tend to think long drawn out fight scenes seem very corny. This was more…. real. Or well as real as it gets in a movie. Interesting camera angles too. The abrupt frame changes, made it seem more believable, like a hidden camera taking in the story of unknowing people’s lives. One of the better movies this year.
