Big Bang Theory

Does anyone else pause the screen and read the “CHUCK LORE PRODUCTIONS” after Big Bang Theory? There are some good ones..

Leslie Nielsen

My favourite scene from a beloved Canadian actor (forgive the poor quality):

Vancouver Restaurants 1

Places I ate this weekend:

 

1) Saturday for lunch: Budgies Burritos
Location: 44 Kingsway, Vancouver.
(close to Kingsway & Main)
Great mexican place. It’s vegan, but still worth a visit if you like a good burrito. You get a lot of food for your money. The place looks a little sketch from the outside, but all the best places do, right? It was quite eclectic on the inside too with all kinds of weird portraits on the walls. I got the Jonny-O with no Jalapenos. And I’d recommend it to anyone.

 

2) Sunday for lunch: Eight 1/2 Restaurant Lounge
151 East 8 Avenue, Vancouver

Good breakfast menu served after lunch, and not too far from my new church. Music was at a good level for conversation. I had The Crosby Omelette. And the water came with a cucumber in it, which was different, but refreshing. I think I’ll be going back there again soon..

 

3) Sunday for dinner: Fogg’s N Suds Restaurant
10720 Cambie Road, Richmond

Awesome burger, and good beer list. Anywhere that serves Innis & Gunn is a winner in my books. The yam fries are something that you can’t go wrong with, so I’m glad that was an option. Only $1.50 extra for that. One drawback was that they could do with a bit more of the usual pub fare.. The best part was that the place is not too far from home. Walking distance? Maybe…

Skype Conversation

My sister in law mentioned a 4 way Skype conversation that was all over North America..  Here’s a visual:

Movember

So, I went and registered.  It’s official – I’m participating in Movember this year.  The rules are, you start the month clean shaven and see how your stache looks in a month’s time.  The whole point is to start conversations and raise awareness for prostrate cancer.  1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with it.  4400 men will die from it in just this year.  It’s the most common cancer to affect Canadian men.

I didn’t know all that before…

So if you’re feel like supporting me, here’s a link to my Movember profile.  Bring your credit card, and your generosity!  Thanks everyone!

Can yo-yo make a comeback?!

I just saw this incredible video last night.  This guy knows how to wield a yo-yo.  His name is Jensen Kimmitt and he’s Canadian!  Remember the days of the Smuther’s Brothers and “yo-yo man”?  Well…  this is as far beyond him as he is beyond you.  I was mezmorized for the whole video, enjoy.

Parodies

I’m annoyed.  I just wrote a huge long thing and it’s gone.  I’m not going to now.  In fact, the feeling that I have to write something when I share something funny makes me not post too often.

Just quickly then, has everyone seen the preview for “The Social Network”?  I saw it before Inception (good movie).  These are parodies of it.  One is about YouTube and the other is about Twitter.  Enjoy!

Vote for my “Totally Looks Like” Submission!

Hey everyone! Just yesterday I mentioned a site that I discovered. Right now my submission is getting voted on. I said that “Frank Lampard Totally Looks Like Matthew Bellamy of Muse”, so if everyone could go to it and give me a 5/5 vote that would be swell. I’d love to be put on the “featured pics” tab..

It’s still on the first page for now under the “Vote” tab. Here’s the direct link:
