5.28 - The One with the Blue Blob

As I look outside I see a blanket of white...then I take a look at the radar map...


See that big blue blob that's right over Toronto...ya...that's where I am...you think that's bad...take a look at this map...


Usually you can see the outline of the lakes and the land...it's a good day to be home curled up on the coach watching a Christmas movie. It's alright though...I'm off for 2 weeks after today.

5.25 - The One with more snow...

This is the first year that I'm not out shoveling a driveway in a long long time. It's an adjustment living in an apartment building. Someone else comes and plows the snow in the parking lot...and someone else comes and cuts the grass. I like it. But the downfall is that I have to clear the snow off my car...I guess there's some give and take there. I'm not sure which I would rather not do....shovel...or clear the snow/ice of my car...

4.58 - The One with the hills of snow

The summer movie season has officially been kicked off with this weekends release of Iron Man. I was pretty excited to see this movie and it did not disappoint. I wasn't sure how Jon Favreau (Monica's UFC millionaire boyfriend on Friends) would be as a director, although he did direct Elf and Zathura. He did great and even had a cameo. They also showed the new trailers for Indiana Jones, and The Dark Knight. I can't wait to see those two movies...they look really good.

We were in Montreal this weekend and it's been awhile since I've been in Quebec (Hull doesn't count). Wow can you ever notice the difference between Ontario and Quebec. I don't mean the French everywhere...I mean the road conditions. The 401 is a nice smooth ride throughout until it turns into the #20 highway. It's full of pot holes and it's not so fun to drive on anymore. Oh and the gas prices? OUCH...134.9 per liter.

But I think one of the most incredible things that I saw in Montreal were the huge mounds of dirt that were piled up beside the highway. They were at least a few storeys high, Upon closer inspection we saw some white underneath...it was definitely snow. I knew we had a lot of snow fall this winter...but those mounds...no I'd say hills, show how much they got.

4.43 - The One with Monopoly

...I can never win at this game either...speaking of the weather...I'm pretty sure I saw a few snow flakes this morning.

4.32 - The One with even more snow

I know I posted this comic in December...but this this basically is what summed up my weekend. You should see my driveway...it looks like a fort because of all the snow piled up around it. I heard that there is more snow coming, at least we're supposed to have an entire week without it dumping on us...

I also picked up my copy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl for my Wii. Sweet game...took me awhile to get used to using the wiimote and nunchuck to play. The only complaint is that you can't swing the wiimote around to play...but overall, it's loads of fun. Now to find a chiropractor...

3.98 - The One with the snow bank

It snowed about 25cm over the weekend...yesterday I spent most of the day shoveling. Not that much fun...at least the snow wasn't heavy...but it just didn't stop coming down. Just when you thought it was letting up and going to stop...OH...more snow! I don't mind the snow...I just hate it when the snow plows in my town basically fortify your driveway when it goes by your house. I spent about a half hour this morning shoveling a 2 foot high, 5 foot deep and about 20 foot wide barrier that was on my driveway from the lovely snow plow. It didn't help that my neighbour has this big sign on his lawn that reads "Let it Snow!" Oh it snowed alright buddy...do you want mine?


Don't get me wrong...I'm grateful that we have plows...but when I was living in Saskatoon...where it snows a lot more and for more days...we never had this problem. The plows would never block your driveway. On my way to work I saw a bunch of old people out shoveling the ends of their driveways. It's just not right.

On a brighter note...the trailer for the The Dark Knight came out this weekend...check it out

3.93 - The One with the snow

Ahh snow...how I don't miss you. Although I do like it when you come for Christmas. Well it looks like the snow is going to stay for awhile...and it doesn't help when it decides to rain and freeze making my street an ice rink. At least the snow has put me in the Christmas mood...the tree went up on Saturday and last night I started to wrap some presents. Now if the rain would stop...
