SDCC 2008 is almost here!

Quick update since I'll be busy packing and cleaning house before going to .....COMIC CON 2008!!

This time we will NOT be going to Tijuana....but some place that I have to drive.  You'll have to ask Xiao Pang Xi which adventurous spot we're visiting this time.

Oh and we're bringing two other comic con attendees.  Raymond and Royal P.   One of us!  One of us!  One of us!  

Oh and V.  we're going to go find and take many photos with Josh Whedon holding some Avatar merch.  :p

This is Journalism?

KTLA reporter "Not going to give name him so he gets more publicity" made fun of people in line for the iPhone but comes off looking like a jackass.

Am I outraged?  Nah.  He sounds just like the unenlightened librarians that work at TPL.

Beer Day 30: I HAVE THE JESUS PHONE!

Beer Day 30:  The thirty day beer blog has come to an end!

Woo!  To celebrate this momentous occasion I went and got myself the iPhone 3G.  

Yes I bitch, yes I bitched, and yes Rogers still sucks but the concessions they finally gave during the last few days met my maximum $$ criteria so I got it.

Very small lineup when I got to Corporate Head Office store.

I walked out of there with an iPhone later.

Busy playing with it now.   Will decide what to do with this blog later.

Beer Day 29: CBC Kids Doodlebops

Beer is the reason I got roped into seeing the Doodlebops and CBC today.

Nephews and nieces liked seeing the Doodlebops.  Gotta say they've got alot of energy jumping around on stage like that for that long.

Ya.....that's it.  I should have done this post yesterday but ....ya......

At least it wasn't TreeHouse.

Beer Day 28: Paint an "L" on my forehead.

Beer is the reason:  I showed up for work on my day off....the first day of my five day long weekend.  D'oh!

So a bunch of things happened today.  

1) I go to work as normal.  Wake up at some ungodly hour in the morning(6ish) because of the heat.  Call and wake up co-worker about 7:20ish.  Drag ass out of bed by 7:30am.  Shower and pick up her by 8am-ish.  Drive up for work at 8:30am.   Get to work and look at schedule....er....I'm off for five days??  D'oh!!!  Get commended by managers(joking) for work ethic for coming in on my day off(grrrr....).  Headed home around 9:30.  At least I avoided rush hour traffic.

2) Go to doctors....and find out I popped one of my ribs on Monday.  So THAT'S why there's intermittent pain.   Prescription for anti-inflammatory and have to see him Sat. morning.  Whatever.  Also supposed to rest and not do sports.  Yeah.  That's not happening.  I've got a hockey game tonight.  I'll rest afterwards.  :p

3) Rogers kiosk at Dufferin Mall are idiots.  Helpful idiots but still idiots.   They aren't up to date with iPhone plan info from Rogers on website.   Rogers store at Bloor and Jarvis is much better.  Confirmed that I need a $30 voice plane to buy the iPhone.  Corp plan 1175 covers that if I add in a few extras.   I want data too so I'll pick up the $30/300Mb.   Will line up friday.

4) Rogers news update: Awesome!  Rogers has a limited promo of $30/6Gb until Aug.  Definitely getting the iPhone now.  Obviously with this plan instead of the 300Mb plan.

5) Played hockey.  :p   Lost the 2nd and 3rd period but we for the first period we played them well.  It's only one game.  We'll pick up the next one.   I'm also playing Centre next.  We're definitely going to win.  (Think positive).  :D

6) Bought alot of cold treats tonight.  Nephews and niece are coming tomorrow.

7) and that's it!  Busy day.  Started off with a big forehead "L" and I'm ending it off with some Jessica Alba goodness.  Mmmm mmm.  Into the Blue.  Probably a shitty movie but hey, she's running around in a bikini.  :p  oink oink!

Beer Day 27: Random thoughts: Tweaked my back

Beer is the reason:  I tweaked my back...or was it my shoulder muscle?

Sorta painful, more annoying.  Think it's the way I slept last night.  Should be better by tonight in which case I get to mess it up again!  Whee!!  Naw should sleep better tonight.

Rogers iPhone plans still suck.  Rogers CSR says that Corporate Plan 1175 is iPhone eligible with Data.   Hmmm.....tempting.     Rogers still sucks.

Had an ice cream twist with dip for break.  Yum.

Rogers iPhone plans still suck.

Beer Day 26: OVER 9000!!!

Beer is the reason:  I got all 5 digitally remastered Dragonball Z boxsets.

Ah Dragonball Z.  Watched it from video rentals in Chinatown.   Awesome show.   A new take on the Chinese Monkey King story except mixed with Superman.  I was years ahead of the anime boom curve and years before DBZ became mainstream because of FUNimation or YTV.

It wasn't the best show, but it was a fun show.

Beer Day 25: Soldier gets attacked while training

Beer is the reason: this soldier was violated so thoroughly by this German Sheppard.  

I think you may need a myspace account to view but eh what are you going to do?

Beer Day 24: I do nothing today

Beer is the reason:  I do nothing today.

No checking news sites.  No running around reading up on hobbies.  No looking for anything to bitch at or complain about.  Just sitting back and relaxing and enjoying the weather, ice cream and movies.  

Rogers sucks.

Beer Day 23: iPhone getting hammered in the media

Beer is the reason:  Rogers is so stupid as to not come out with new iPhone plans sooner.  

It's not just the Canadian media bashing Rogers iPhone plans now.   We started with ruinediphone.com and it just escalated.  In Canada radio stations are constantly talking about it, news tv are devoting their tech segment to analysis of why Canadians are hate it(the iPhone plans.  We love the iPhone though), Canadian based internet news sites are trying to be object but failing miserable.   Then comes the INTERNATIONAL bashing.  A Washington newspaper derided Rogers plans.  An Australian newspaper mocked Rogers plans.  The UK are making fun of how THEY aren't screwing their customer base unlike their Canadian GSM counterparts.

Wake UP Rogers.   Like Twisted Sister said, "we're not going to take it!"

We'll go to Telus for the Samsung Instinct or the HTC Touch Diamond or Touch Pro for their SUPERIOR and CHEAPER data/voice plans or we'll go to Bell for the Samsung Instinct(launches slightly earlier then Telus) for their amazingly $15 Unlimited Data plan.

Unless of course Rogers does the two days before launch, "oh those weren't set in stone plans.  Here are our new comparable to Bell or Telus plans" in which case the herd of Jesus Phone afficiondo's charge every Roger/Fido store and buy up the phones.   I admit I would be one too but for now a big "F" "U" to current Canadian GSM companies.

Can't wait for Telus to announce they've got GSM towers like it was speculated  they were building back in January.   Unlike AT&T I don't remember Rogers getting exclusive rights to the iPhone.  Come on Telus we're waiting for you!

Beer Day 22: Cujo is back with the Leafs

Beer is the reason:  The Toronto Maple Leafs rehired Cujo as the back up goaltender.

I love Cujo when he played here, didn't like it when he jumped ship and am okay with him as backup as long as it doesn't interfere or create problems with the new no. 1 goalie Veska Toskala.  Let's wait and see how this rebuild goes.

Beer Day 21: Flames versus Lizard Kings! Round one! Fight!

Beer is the reason:  this team pulled together at the end and won the game!  

Woot!  Flames 2.  Lizard Kings 1.   Hahaha!  Looks like I made the right choice when I jumped teams!  

So tired.  But it's a good tired since we won!  WOO!!

Now to watch Enchanted.   It's an interesting movie.

Beer Day 20: Yesterdays Blog

Beer is the reason: I went to watch Denise and Co. go running and drink beer at the same time!

Yes, it's the legendary Run for Liquer!   Many competitors enter!  Some will run!  Some will stumble!  Many will fall!  This is the run that will benefit liver research as we watch some destroy theirs for our benefit!   

I'm just disappointed not enough fell on their face.  Oh well.  There's always next year!  Ta!
