Graig and I decided to take Friday afternoon off from work and take in a viewing of Iron Man at the new AMC theatre at Yonge/Dundas Square. I wasn't really sure if I should take the afternoon off, but after co-worker Andy's firm "go, have fun", we headed out at 1pm, had a quick bite to eat, scored some popcorn and settled in for good, superheroey ( Read more... )

On Friday, during our day of playing (legally booked off) hooky from work, Graig and I saw Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ( Read more... )

Seeing as how Valentine's Day is this week, both Graig and I have been asked a few times now, by various co-workers for the most part, what it is we're doing for the BIG DAY ( Read more... )

Its only Tuesday and I'm already tired. It's a busy week.

peppermenthe ran us a good game on Sunday night. It's a new concept for our long existing superhero world, modeled on DC's Suicide Squad, where a bunch of bad guys are released from prison and given the chance to mitigate their sentences, so long as they do the government's bidding. Oh, and if they ( Read more... )

Thanks to troy_duffy, last night we were able to view Sunday's season premiere of Smallville. Despite its subject matter, its not a show neither Graig nor I watch regularly. My brother, however, is a HUGE fan (his cat is named Lex), and so generally keeps me appraised if anyone interesting (i.e. any other DCU hero) is due to be on the show. The premiere then ( Read more... )

Last night, Graig subjected me to The Incredible Hulk Returns, (ok, yes I did agree to watch it) a not so wonderful, made in 1988 continuation of the early 80s series I know most of us watched at one time or another. I do remember liking the original series, but I was like twelve then, and I also knew at that point I liked Ewoks and unicorns, so ( Read more... )

So, in a slightly happier vein, I went to see the Prestige last night with Graig and a few of his friends. I'd read the book a few years ago now, and did enjoy it, in fact, I think I enjoyed the book more because it was harder to figure out all the twists and turns in the book since you cannot actually see anyone (i.e., the actors). I also have ( Read more... )

A VERY big thanks has to go out to lightning_rider for the incredibly awesome Flash baseball hat he sent Jet. Jet loves it and has been wearing it to school.

Only problem is, it actually does fit me too, so I'm tempted to steal it ;)

Thanks again!
