I have a hotel room booked for the night of August 10th. I'll be taking the bus down on the 10th and coming home the next day. The room has a king size bed and a sofa bed. If anyone wants to join me, let me know. Kicking in on the hotel room would be nice but I'm not asking anyone to pay half or anything like that. Tickets to the Ontario Science ( Read more... )

We give it thumbs up. Some of it we liked, some of it we (of course) nitpicked. Too much left out for my taste and some of the changes weren't necessary ( Read more... )

Well, finished on Saturday. Have also been trying to squeeze in the 6 movies I brought home to preview. Even with the weekend off, it's been tough ( Read more... )

The book release party is cancelled, as I'm in dire need of sleep. No, definitely kidding about the cancelling part, though not the dire need of sleep bit. Seriously, 28 hours at work in the last 3 days. Isn't that kind of thing illegal if you work in retail? If not, it should be. Just one more 6 hour closing shift tomorrow night and I'm off for ( Read more... )

Those of you who are local, we have a couple options for the movie on Wednesday. Keep in mind that I'm trying to pick a theatre that Nyssa can get to after classes, as she and I will likely have to see the movie again right after the rest of us see it the first time. She can't make anything before 9 p.m. and most of the rest of you won't be able to ( Read more... )
