We Will Rock You!

Monday, March 31st, 2008

My Girlfriend and I had the wonderful opportunity to see the Toronto stage production of We Will Rock You on Friday night. It was an incredible show. A great mix of music, humour, singing and dancing. The cast sounded great, looked great; the band was spot-on; the stage sets were awesome.

As with concerts, I’ve now [...]

Ally 2.0?

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I caught yet another episode of Eli Stone tonight. The special thing about watching this week was that I wasn’t already sitting down watching LOST and too lazy to move. No, I made a point of catching the show tonight. Yes, it’s official: I’m hooked.

The End of Winter

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

I know that the official end to the season is still a few weeks away, but with March Break having just started it just feels like it should be the spring now. Oh, that and I’m freakin’ tired of shoveling snow and, as much as I love the season, the cold, the shortened days, hockey, [...]
