"How big is this frickin' spaceship?!?"

Spaceballs: The Animated Series is in production, and it does have Mel Brooks involved, so it should be interesting.

Of course, when I hear spaceballs, I can only think of poker night at Matt and Dani's when Jonathan and Matt got blasted and decided to watch spaceballs. Hilarity most definitely followed, and its on video tape somewhere :)

I Heart Google

Google's takeover on my life continues on two fronts:

1> I've switched over to the google beta of blogger, and it's not really different, except for creating the layout of your blog. You now can choose a base template and then modify it as your heart desires. I've decided to deck mine out in Colorado Avalanche colours...puck drop is only a few weeks away after all.

2> I was quite impressed with the Fotki pages that Scott had, and wanted to do something similar, however I'm much to lazy to import my photos and organize everything, especially when I already have all my pictures organized with Picasa. Well, enter google again. They've now given you the ability to upload your albums in Picasa to web albums with a single click. For the lazy people like me, its a dream come true. To see the result, check out my online albums.

They're doing this on a first come/first serve basis by invite. I did mine today and didn't have to wait.

We Can't Bust Heads Like We Used To,

but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe...so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumble bees on 'em. 'Gimme five bees for a quarter', you'd say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was...that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay..........

I'm currently listening to "Common People" by William Shatner. I didn't search it out, it came on my favourite XM radio station. I sat and listened to the whole thing, and you know what?

It wasn't that bad. I'm a little concerned about my own sanity now, though, because I just assumed that anything "sung" by William Shatner must be awful. But it wasn't.

To paraphrase Lewis Black, the left hand side of my brain just looked at the right hand side of my brain and said "It's dark in here."

I need sleep

I had an absolute blast this past week in Ottawa/Kanata/Arnprior. Scott and Sara's wedding was a great time and went off without a hitch (even though the weather forced us inside). The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was fun, and I got to see a little bit of a city I've never seen before, and I even spent some time on the dance floor without making a total jackass of myself!

I also got to spend some time with family who I don't get to see nearly as often as I would like, which was great. The only downfall, of course, was the lack of sleep. But when you cram a lot of driving and late nights into a week, that's what happens.

Congrats guys!
