Avoiding Blackouts In The Future
Mood:

on fire
Alternate forms of energy should be used more than they are now: This includes wind power, solar power, and aura power.
The last one is the energy that the spirit gives off while in a body. Here is a website with more information on this subject.

Freddy Versus Jason
Mood: cheeky
It's hard to believe there's still life in these well-worn supernatural antagonists, but Freddy Vs Jason was number one at the boxoffice this weekend.
Of course, the critics hated it, but audiences has been starving for this kind of thriller entertainment.
Put more mystery into this horror adventure equation and you have our "new-age caretakers" in Area 53.

Our Big Fat Blackout Of 2003
Mood: accident prone

My family and I plus millions of others survived the biggest blackout in North American history. In Toronto and Brampton, civilians directed traffic through dead stop lights. Good samaritians brought water and juice to policemen who were assisting at intersections as well. Looting and vandalism were low.

Apparently, we're suppose to live without airconditioning for the next few days to help electrical power get totally restored. That will be tough considering we're presently in a heat wave.

We need a few good wizards for emergency power.
Maybe some of these guys can do the job.

The Foreigner
Mood: don't ask
The only reason I watched this is because my wife is a Steven Seagal fan. More of the same gratutious boring repetitious violence. Heavy body count of innocent victims senselessly snuffed out. Awful stuff. Zero stars. Read the other reviews here.

Movie Review 40: How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days
Mood: quizzical
My wife and a girlfriend gave this movie three stars. However, I did have reservations about this film. Matthew McConaughey was not good as the leading man. It would have been funnier if he brought more emotions including anger to this role. Kate Hudson on the other hand was quite good in expressing the diverse moods of her character. There were some good laughs and sentimental moments, but many times the pace was prodding and the dialogue boring. Two stars for this so-so chick flick: Other Reviews For "How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days"

The Tentative Canadian Postie Contract
The CUPW Toronto Local seems to be leading the "no side" in the ratification vote at the end of August. On the "yes side" is the National Office in Ottawa.
Check out the latest news in contract wars. Who's going to win? Who cares anyway? They're just different levels of a union fighting each other.
