Saw the trailer for the new Evil Dead; not a fan of the dub step music, but holy hell, the imagery was effective. Looks interesting.

I'm going to miss a Gordie Howe signing; excuse me while I cry myself to sleep tonight.

Seeing people you've known for years getting engaged/getting married/having children.

It's a weird feeling, especially when the individuals in question are younger than myself.

One of my friends has a signed copy of his book, its also signed by his late wife. Pretty cool thing to have.

So lucky of him!

I'll probably just end up dropping something off at Pastime for him to sign.

I was daydreaming at work the other day and came up with cool idea...a remote controlled Zamboni vacuum.
Imagine doing your vacuuming during the intermission from your couch with a scaled down Zamboni...what could be better?

Just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Beautiful book. Words aren't enough to describe it.

Even better...make one that does the driving and you can just sit back and watch.

Last book I read was Warm Bodies (the one the movie is based on). Surprised by how good it was; difficult to put down.

Happy to see Ray Lewis go out with a superbowl win.

Only reason why I wanted the Ravens to win over the 49ers.

Such a warrior.
My money was on the 49ers, but I am ok with Lewis winning one more.

To be honest, I am surprised the Ravens won it all.
Lewis looked really slow...
Yet, at the key moments, the D comes up big.

I also liked the playcalling by John Harbaugh.
That last play punt...
Killed 2/3 of the game clock.
Genius.

TED is pretty cool.
If you have an Android system, you can get the free app.
There are many inspirational speeches of famous and accomplished people on there, and I learn quite a bit from the site.
Go check it out if you have a chance.

The David Blane TED Talks about how he held his breath for 17 minutes is pretty cool:

Figz14 · 02-04-2013, 06:18 PM

So stoked about TED. Can't wait for the next meet. Love listening to what these people have to say.

**Bubbles** · 02-04-2013, 08:19 PM

Ah cheers for the info.

Tickets start at $7500.

Figz14 · 02-04-2013, 08:47 PM

And I'm sorry that I ever said big bang theory was funny. Holy **** this show is terrible. I hate it. Can't stand it. Burn in hell.

Glad you've come around. The guy who writes/produces is not funny and his method for making a show is painfully obvious.
