Pender’s Fabulous Journal of Random Stuff and Things!!!!

We went to the Discovery Center and discovered that it was basically just for kids. I was hoping it was more for kids with all ages, and it may have been, but we got scared by the throngs of small children glaring at our oldness. So instead we walked a little further and went to the Maritime Museum. It was intervestink, we both liked it, and Hollywood did too, we think.

Museuming it up!

After the museumistic festivities we ate pita thingies at Extreme Pita, which is one of my new favoritist restaurants. It’s tasty AND healthy. In the restaurant they have this poster talking about blah blah we just wanted to make the most extreme and awsome pita store in existance. Then it goes into say they were “successful” about it, and include the “quotes” around the word “successful”.. So we have to wonder, just what the hell do they “really” mean by “successful”?

Yesterday we ordered a new dishwasher from Sears, courtesy in part by the hundreds of dollars in gift certificates my family gave us for xmas. Thanks fan-damily!

Here’s a link to the dishwasher:
Sears Dishwasharrrrr

We tried to order the black model, but apparently it’s discontinued. Poop. It will be arriving on Feb. 2nd, can’t wait! We are going to have at least 3 loads of dishes and laundry saved up just for the occasion!

Sorry for the downtime today, something was wrong with the router. It suddenly lost the settings for understanding where to go when someone tries to connect to the webpage, cause it’s dumb, cause it has no brains or feelings.

Tomorrow we’re going to the Discovery Center! I should put some pics up, if I’m not too lazy.

“I don’t know why the line-up is longer, but I don’t like it. I much, much preferred liberal era Tim Hortons service.”

I laughed and snorted chicken out my nose! Friggin’ harper!

Rob talks politics at rob was here.

We can no longer say “ha ha, americans are so stupid, look who they elected”, cause we’re just as friggin’ stupid.

I just installed diablo 2 on two of our computers and we just played for 7 hours straight while drinking rum and cokes. Good times!

I just stumbled upon this website that translates webpages into pirate. I’m thinking about running each update through the translator just to make sure I sound piratey enough.

Only 247 days until “talk like a pirate” day! Read the rules on their OFFICIAL website!

Phillip asked:
“Got any favourite kung-fu movies you’d recommend?”

Hellz ya!

Good or bad? I don’t think there really is any “good” kung fu movies. The ones with the most realistic kung fu still have the crappy acting, and the ones where they try to act they take away from the kung fu. I think the “best” kung fu movies are where they seem to have the most fun with it, doing the most unexpected things in kung fu (not trying to crap it up with stupid things like plot and character developstupidment).

Careful, he’s from the axe gang!

Jackie Chan’s “Fantasy Mission Force” is awesome to sit around with your friends to watch and make fun of, it’s hilarious. Somewhat decent kung fu in parts, not a lot of it though. It’s so bad it’s awesome, a lot of fun.

Fist of Legend, jet li, is a wicked kung fu movie. Some of the best kung fu ever in there. I think I watched that one 5 times over. I rarely EVER watch movies more than once. I also liked jet li’s recent Unleashed and Hero. I just read that he’s apparently getting out of the kung fu biz. Bummer.

I liked iron monkey, crouching llama hidden llama and the bulletproof monk, even though they are more mainstream. I really liked house of the flying daggers, it gave me chills about 50 times throughout the movie. Ong bak was ok, not bad kung fu. Kung Fu Hustle was an awesome movie, crazy and ridiculous at times, but it was a lot of fun.

For Jackie Chan I liked Drunken Master the best. Not as much of a fan of his more recent stuff, too Hollywoodish (sorry Hollywood!). I usually like jackie chan’s stuff. I even watched that recent disney one he did, but he only had like 1 fight scene. Still was ok cause it had kung fu. I think at the peak of the 1990’s kung-fu boom was the stuff from him I liked the most, later in the 90’s they crapped him up too much.

I’ve watched about 30 or so “nobody’s ever even heard of this shit!” kung fu movies and liked about half of them. I can’t remember any of their names though. None of them were very memorable, just the generic “puny guy lets the axe gang chop up his family, he retreats to the hills to become the world’s leading authority on kung-fuology, comes back to avenge his family and beat up the axe gang, who are now old and sullen”.

Our trip to St. John’s went as goodly as our trip to Saint John. We’re back in Halifax, partying it up by sitting around the apartment wondering what we ever did before our big vacation. The night before last we couldn’t get to sleep until about 1:30am, then our flight left at 7:15am, so we had to wake up at 5am. So yesterday was a very, very sleepy day. After I got home from work we just lay around watching family guy episodes, snoozing and losing.

I should have a plethora (I think a plethora means a long board with a nail in it) covered with pictures and videos up sometime over the weekend (and hopefully catch up on all the past activities that never got added to the site). That’s the plan, Stan (Stan, if you’re reading this, let me know what you think).
