I finished watching Below. It was good! I recommend it. It was different than I thought it would be. I think it kind of floated between several genres, which was great. You didn't really know where it was going. #Below

Some truck was backing up outside but was taking forever to do it. At first I thought it was an alarm going off in the house somewhere, but then I realised it was from outside, so then I thought it must be a car alarm. I finally figured out it was a truck, even going outside to confirm. Just how […]

The teen is coming home from uni for the weekend today! Yay! He was home for the Labour Day weekend, but then I don't think he'll come back again until winter break.

Also available on CBC Gem is Everyone Is Lying To You For Money. It's a well done documentary about crypto but it takes a unique way to tell it. I recommend it!

@chris Doesn't (or at least didn't) Nova Scotia have a set gas price? It was always strange to go there and see zero fluctuations over a whole week or even three, unlike Ontario where gas prices change constantly.

Funny although less of the life blowing up stuff than the first season had. Jay Ryan returns although he must've heard my complaints […]

@David Because French immersion in Southern Ontario was still fairly new when I started many of the teachers were from France so my accent is mostly from them. The France accent might've even been pushed on us on purpose by school boards preferring it. This isn't the case now. My kids don't […]

I'm on antibiotics that are making me nauseous and I don't think I've ever had that before. It's not even weird antibiotics, just normal ones. Must be a high dose or something, but I was quite surprised. They warned me to take with food because it can upset stomachs, so I do but it still does.

@jfmezei I agree that it's mostly just to sound good. I don't think Europe cares that much about it. Canada went to war for Europe and they don't like to see us being treated badly. But it's something to point to when right wing people complain.

It could be a way to give more power to indigenous people, but it would certainly be difficult to get any of this passed […]

@David I heard that he is very precise about exactly what he wants while directing. Taking weeks to get the perfect shot or whatever. That obsessiveness leads to wonderful movies, but yeah I can see how if he thinks of Avatar as being one movie in 5 parts he'd get stuck on it. And also how […]
