My sister literally just bought an iPad2 last week as a gift for someone and was asking for my advice because she heard the 3 was coming out. I told her to just buy the 2 because I haven't heard anything ont he 3 yet and by the time they make an announcement it usually takes a few months to be available in Canada. SO I said it likely won't be available until the summer.

Guess I screwed that up, lol.

edit: As for your first line I meant that one comment in terms of all tablets. They are a hedger between cell phones and laptops.

It's amazing how many quotes a guy can have in one episode.
Yeah pretty much every time he opens his mouth something funny comes out.

Glad they ended that 3rd episode the way they did. I liked Shane but I like Stevie more, lol.

How dumb is that, it's not even called the iPad 3. It's just called The New iPad.

It would be worth either calling a few restaurants to see if they would accomodate that or stop by a few and ask them.

Just beat ME3.

The story was ****ing crazy. Loved the ending.

Vanguard was pretty fun. I think I'm going to try Infiltrator next.

Nice! How long did that take you and how much of the side stuff did you do?

I'm currently just playing multiplayer because one of the ****ing missions on the Citadel is bugged (Hanar)...and I'm a completionist so if I go any further it'll fail the mission and piss me off.

19 hours.

I did most of the side stuff, but I think I got caught up with the main storyline near the end and it cut off some of the side missions I wanted to do.

I think it'll be more fun the second time around since I actually know what I'm doing now.

There were a few decisions I made that after I saw the consequences, I just 'd.

Yeah it's pretty brutal. I'm chalking it up to the fact that they did very little to improve it from the iPad2 and we can all probably expect the more useful iPad3 to come out in the fall.

My understanding is the new features on the The New iPad is a higher resolution screen, a HD camcorder, higher quality camera(same camera as iPhone4s), quad core processor and the one version of it is now compatible with 4G LTE speeds.

Just to be honest and no disrespect intended but taking a person having health problems that significantly limit their diet to a restaurant may not be the best idea.

Kind of like taking a meat eater to a vegetarian restaurant with an all tofu menu. But worse, as your partner will see everybody else in the restaurant being able to eat anything they want and with the smells being both tantalizing and frustrating.

My advice would be to make your partner a fine meal, using a vitamix blender if you haven't already, and instead go out to a nice place, art gallery, Muttart Conservatory, Winspear, Citadel Theatre, or some other such hand holding venue. Buy flowers, not chocolates.

Sorry about the relationship whispering..

That's fine. I appreciate the advice. But without getting into too much detail, it has been a pretty bad last couple of months with this. Right now we're sort of looking to get back to normal a little bit (too many doctors/hospitals ect).

Lol, that's what I told my buddy. It's all the stuff I listened to in Junior High/High School plus the stuff I listen now. The DJ's that are there are amazing as well if you're into that type of thing.

In other news, today is a sad day in Slave Lake. Our closest thing to a local Celeb, Elmer has passed away.

Boonstock is weaksauce, only good thing I can remember was the girls. That line up is horribly mediocre.

Only thing missing from that line-up is Papa Roach and Alien Ant Farm.

Random thought popped into my head while watching the Oil Kings game tonight. Should the OKs get far enough into the playoffs that they are using the rink while the Oilers' season is over, will they change the centre ice design to the Oil Kings logo?

Considering what that would cost versus what impact it would actually have I would say nah.

Can anyone suggest a good summer hockey league in Edmonton? I haven't played since I moved back here last year but need to get back into it this summer.

So far, the leading candidate that I've come across is the Alberta Men's Hockey League -- 18 games + playoffs and the time slots look good.
