I am going. (this decision is largely thanks to a certain Rene that some of you may know) I have been wanting to go for years and years and finally I do believe this will be the year (unless something huge inexplicably comes up but shhh don't jinx it). My only problem: it is 260 days, 10 hours, and 29 minutes away, and I don't know if I can make it because I am super excited and nervous already and it's only January. Um so yeah that's all I really have to say here.
The NHL lockout has come, at long last, to an end (yes this is old news but I forgot to make a blog post about it) I, however, will not be watching any hockey until October 2013, because I'm stubborn and I don't want to support a league that treats its fans so poorly. I am Canadian, in case you didn't know, and hockey is in my blood. In my very soul. Needless to say, this is heartrending. *tears* #staystrong #gocanucksgo (I swear though if the Canucks win the Cup this year I will d
I have a habit of buying books. In case you are new to this blog, I work at a coffee shop. The business right next door is a used book store, which I frequent often. As a result, I find myself acquiring new books all the time (much faster than I can read them). Here's a list of books I currently have on the go: Les Misérables - a book about- nevermind, you guys all know what it's about, right? ( and actually I started this one long before I saw the movie thank you very much ) Wild Cards
So, I went to see Les Misèrables last night. Let's just say that it didn't disappoint. It was an emotional roller coaster of a ride that did justice to the play and to the book. I'm not much of a cry-er, but let me tell you: I was blinking back tears several times. Highs: Anne Hathaway as Fantine. She stole every scene she was in (which numbered too few, IMO... but that's how the story goes), and I honestly would have paid full ticket price just to see and hear her sing "I Dreamed a Dream",
Ketan: "I must stop Naming Day from coming... but how?" Oreius: "Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit. Just because my Stone glows... why don't I fit in?" Avya: "Bartan was dead, to begin with." Cael: "Remember, Joske: no man is a failure who has friends." Jin: "Seeing is believing. Am I right?" If anyone can name the sources of all five of these quotes, they get... virtual gingerbread? That, and my everlasting approval. A very merry Christmas to every BZP member out there
It was amazing. I don't want to put any spoilers here (though really if you haven't seen it you shouldn't have clicked ), so I'll suffice with saying that it was an excellent movie. There are some parts that I would've liked to see done differently, and there are some parts that absolutely blew me away. Aw, whatever, I've gotta get into a few specifics. If you haven't seen the Hobbit, guard yourself and turn away! First of all, I have to say that the opening sequence was easily one of the
So, I just noticed that my blog is quickly (or not-so-quickly) approaching both 200 entries and 1,000 comments. I was thinking it might be nice to celebrate one of these occasions with something special. I was contemplating holding a contest or something in my blog, with the winner receiving a Real Prize. Or maybe holding a draw for an Authentic BIONICLE Piece. You know, something special and fun. Give me your feedback and/or ideas? I want to make it special, and I want it to be fun, just be
[8:15:28 PM] Tyler St. Francis: Eyru really is at least mockingly pleasant at all times. I challenge anyone else to describe me in ten words and be as succinctly awesome as yonder chap

Yes or no? OWAIT NVM I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT CAME OUT FOR LIKE FIFTY BUCKS srsly all these games are so cheap now i think it would almost be worth it to live on a three-year lag when buying new systems and games imagine it 2009: yay i got a wii! 2012: yay metroid prime trilogy! 2015: yay skyward sword! on the other hand i would probably go crazy.
Because I posted two identical entries yesterday. I am sorry. These... com-pyoo-turrs... are difficult to use. I am not used to managing this... in-turr-net. You are all so tech-savvy, and I'm stuck in the 90's. In other news woohoo going to the mainland tomorrow. (the mainland is exciting because there's civilization there) (it's also exciting because Vancouver is there, and it's my favouritest city in the world) (although if I go elsewhere and find a city I like better I will let y
