A fur con… in London Ontario?

Condition: Zero Hour

What the heck is this? A con in London Ontario? I just might live near there. Does anyone know anything about this thing? Is it a regular con or is it just more of a gathering. Are adult artists welcome?

Any info other then what’s up on the site would be awesome.

New Snacks

So the other day I discovered two new snacks.  Cherry Crush and Cheese Burger Doritos.  I’m not sure if these flavors are out in other parts of the globe, if not… then sorry about the tease.

Wife came home with the All Nighter Cheese Burger Doritos one day and we cracked open the bag to find that… these taste exactly like Dairy Queen cheese burgers.  Seriously, no joke.  Exactly like a DQ burger!  Right down to the pickle and mustard.  It totally blew my mind and I think they’re my favorite chip now.  You can’t have too many though as it kind of feels like you’ve been woofing down a pile of burgers.

The Cherry Crush I found when I was out visiting my Bro-in-Law.  As soon as I saw it, I totally snatched up a case.  See, I just about anything cherry.  Heck, just this week I made an almond and cherry loaf of bread.  Mmmmm…  So yeah, when I was able to crack one open, after the kids went to bed, I found I was pleasantly surprised.  I wasn’t like the Black Cherry of the old Pop Shoppe drinks.  It had more of a cherry pie filling sort of flavor to it.  Which I didn’t mind a bit, but I could see it being too much for others.

So if you’re out in stores and you see any of these products, I totally recommend picking them up and trying them.  I’m not sure if they’re limited flavors, but you don’t want to miss them. ^_^

Working out

So I’ve started working out to get all buff n stuff.  I know I’m sort of late for the summer beach season, but better late then never.  I’m not over weight or anything.  I weigh 160/165 lbs on average which is better then I was in high school (125 lbs back then).  Mostly, I’m working out to A: keep in a decent state of health and B: look all sexy.  I don’t have a lot of body issues other then it bothered me that my arms where just tubes of meat with no form… that and I look sort of geeky.  I guess that comes with the job though. ^_^

I’m not looking to get huge.  I’ve seen the documentaries with professional body builders and man… I can’t imagine looking like that.  I just want to have enough muscle to look sexy with my shirt off when I’m at the beach or a pool.  Things are coming along nicely too I think.  I have an Aerobic Glider and a weight system here at home and I alternate between the two each day and my work outs last about 20 – 30 min.

Anyone out there work out or have any tips?  Are you in shape or out of shape?

Fragile Dreams – Review

So I just got done playing Fragile Dreams on the Wii and I thought I’d put down some of my thoughts on it.

Over all, I thought this RPG was very beautiful in sight, sound and story, but to sit and call it game isn’t how I’d properly describe it.  It focus’s more on thoughts and feelings than any thing else I’ve played.  The combat is quite light and gaining levels and becoming more powerful is totally not the main focus.  No, I’d call this more of an interactive story with game elements, and that’s fine by me.

The Last Airbender

So this evening I went and saw The Last Airbender…  what did I think of it?  Well… um…

I guess I should start with saying that I’m a pretty big fan of the cartoon.  I only actually discovered the series in January, but I found that I totally fell in love with it.  I love the characters and how they interact with each other, the story, the spirituality of the world… everything!  It really is a fantastic and well planned story.  Heck, I’ve watched the whole series (3 seasons, 61 episodes in total) 9 times back to back.  Yes… I think it’s that awesome.  Which is why I’m so disappointed in the movie.  All the things that made the cartoon series so fantastic isn’t there in the move.

During the cartoon, you really feel for the characters as you follow their adventures to stop the Fire Nation.  At the end of the movie, I didn’t feel anything for them.  It felt like the movie went so fast it just glazed over the more important story points.  Points that would have made the movie that much better.

~Sigh… and yeah, all the other things you might have heard are true.  The writing isn’t that great, the acting isn’t so hot and the music is rather lackluster too, which is a shame.  I really wanted to like this one.  Avatar: The Last Airbender is such a great series, it’s Nickelodeon Star Wars, it’s their Harry Potter.  With the whole thing laid out for them, it’s such a shame it didn’t turn out better.  Maybe the next ones will be better.

Hot!

Holy crap!  Today where I live it was 31 C (87 F…I think) with a humidex of the Sun. o_O.   What was the weather like where you live?
