I like a good action movie. Lots of punching, kicking, shooting, blowing up of stuff, all the things that get you all hyped up. In those movies the lead role is usually played by a guy that's all beefed up. There has been a trend to have female leads in this kind of role but…

Some time before the Holidays as I sat in my very quiet apartment I was restless and needed something new to occupy my mind. I had been using music to fill the dead air but even though I have a large collection it quickly became repetitive and boring. I had heard all those songs a hundred times…

A few months ago in the middle of being bored I had a Wes Anderson film-fest all by my lonesome. In a
post I proclaimed my love of his movies and that I couldn't wait to see his upcoming film Moonrise Kingdom that I knew almost nothing about. Now that has changed, the trailer…

I know it is a week late but welcome to 2012. The year where the Mayan calendar ends harolding the end of the world and... other things i suppose. I plan to just do whatever it is I do until whatever it is supposed to happen happens. We will see.

We like to ruin things for ourselves. We ask…

I don't know where to start this exactly cuz I have been keeping myself quite busy the last little while hence the lack of posting. Actually that means I should be posting more because I would have more things to write about, right?
I partook in the annual art-fest known as
Nuit Blanche on Oct 1…

Something, something, something.
So I started working on this post 2 weeks ago and I just never finished it. It was a combination of no internet at home and being busy at work. I can't really complain cuz I haven't been bored but at the same time this is falling to the waist side. This is…

I'm not a religious person. That doesn't mean I'm a bad person or that I'm anti-religion, it just means that religion is not a huge part of my life. I think this is a result of going to Catholic schools my whole life and the experiences I have had that may have disillusioned me. I…
