There's something on the Horizon

Ok first thing, this is where the quotes are from.

1. Labyrinth.
2. Trading Places
3. Predator
4. Big Trouble in Little China
5. The Truman Show
6. X-Men
7. The Matrix
8. The Day After Tomorrow
9. South Park, (the movie)
10. Toy Story.

So Trading Spaces, staring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd was the only stumper. Too bad I hadn’t watched 50 First Dates before (I watched it just after, thanks to Zip.ca) or I would have put in, “Are you done with that. I need something to wipe my ass”. That old guy in the diner was full of zingers.

Well I managed to find a program, which will format and download my DVD’s into my PSP. I know I talked about this before but this thing is great. PSP Video 9 works wonders.

Now what is the big deal with my fascination with downloading movies? Its simple. I spend most of my day here in this ugly gray building and I don’t have time to do anything, so my PSP is my little vacation. My island of tranquility. I downloaded Collateral into it and I’ve very pleased. Now I’ll have time to watch some of the DVD’s I own. I bought Collateral when it came out and I’ve yet to watch it. The list of unwatched DVD’s is long, and goes as far back as Kill Bill Vol2.

So this little gift from Sony protects me from the misery of work, even if its just for a short time. Though there is a light on the Horizon. Specifically a head hunter agency called Horizon which caters to the oil and gas industry. I’m meeting with these people this week. Wish me luck.

Note to self, Google is also good for finding the correct spelling of a word.

Movie Quotes Time, April Edition.

Well I had this problem putting these together. I had some people say it was difficult, only getting one or two and then there was Vics who flew through them like they were nothing. Well, I made a few easy ones and some hard ones.


"I wish the Goblins would take you away….. right now"

"It was the Dukes, It was the Dukes"

"Your one ugly mother fucker"

"Like I told my last wife, honey I never drive faster than I can see, besides that, its all in the reflexes"

"Oh in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight."

"What would you prefer, yellow spandex?"

"Welcome, to the real world"

"If these people go outside, they will freeze to death"

"How would you like to suck my balls"

"This isn't flying, this is falling, with style"


Well Good Luck and I'm sorry if I made it too hard for some.

Audio Blog Post time again

Oh yeah, there is a video blog post in the works, just trying to iron out the details, like editing (looking for a good, free AVI editor) and hosting, considering ourmedia.org for that.

I can see my house from here

Click on Image for Full Size

I found this last night and I think its really cool, I got this from maps.google.com and selected satellite instead of map ,its on the right side of the page. Anyway, the point of the red circle is my apartment. Cool huh? Oh and that large building is the second largest mall in Western Canada, called Chinook Centre. The largest is West Edmonton Mall, which happens to be the biggest in the world but its really nice in there.

Now getting the picture was a bit of a pain since the web site wasn't being very helpful in letting me save the image. So what I had to do is, hit the "ALT" and then the "PrtScn", then open up Paint (or Photoshop if you have it) and paste the image there. Then its simply a matter of cropping away the extra stuff so all your left with is the satellite image.

Now why am I telling everyone this. Because I challenge everyone (except Vics, there were no detail images of the U.K., I checked) to do this same, and leave me a comment linking me so I can see your homes as well. Don't worry, I'm not planing on showing up with a plate of nachos. MMM nachos.
