Cat Shit One

Just a short post today. Check this out.

A couple of new Caprica clips. Some of the old ones are mixed in there.

Battlestar Galactica

Did anyone catch the final espisode of BSG? The first hour was awesome, the second hour not as good. In the end the show's creators have left it up to us to fill in a few gaps. Overall, the ending was mostly satisfying. With the popularity of the show I can see many spin offs to feed the coffers of all those involved. I am a whore for Star Wars so I fully understand how this stuff works. Thanks George. A couple of spin offs have already been done called Caprica and BSG The Plan. Here is a trailer. The Caprica pilot movie will be released on DVD in April and from what I understand the series will be starting January 2010. BSG The Plan will be released in November.

In watching the final episode of BSG on Friday my toy collecting mind could only see the possibilities. Doesn't everyone want a new red striped Cylon?

Enough about BSG except for this: What did I learn from BSG? Well, I learned that no matter how bad things are when you are floating aimless through space being chased by crazy robots there will always be an unending supply of booze and smokes. What more do you need? One tube of toothpaste left, well who cares, I can drink my sorrows away.

Well, the hockey tournament in Sioux is over today. I wonder how busy I will be at work tomorrow when everyone starts to head home. We shall see.

This time of year I wonder what new pot holes will show up in front of my house and around town. I always think of the bypass route and remember when my old high school teacher fought tooth and nail to stop them putting it in. Maybe he should have focused his efforts to get the contractors to properly dig out the ground and fill it before paving. I am sure those contractors don't care. They got paid.

Well, I guess I should hit the treadmill. I haven't been on it much that last couple of weeks. I have to keep at it to fit my news pants.

Score another victory for Raw Stuage

In a nail biter finish last night Raw Stuage defeated Home Brew in the Legion indoor bocce playoffs. Home Brew was actually comprised of two players from Raw Stuage as they were filling in for missing members.

This time change just screws with my day. It is only an hour but I feel robbed somehow. I truly believe we no longer need to have daylight savings time.

The Coach

Yesterday was a long day. Up at 5:00am and finally got home at about 9:30pm. For those of you that don't know I was in Kenora for the day with my basketball team. I have coached grade 7/8 girls basketball for 4 years now at Sacred Heart School. We did well considering we were playing against a few schools with a much bigger population. We managed to go 1-2 that included an overtime win. I am not normally an excitable person but those overtime games sure increase my blood pressure. It is interesting to experience what my high school basketball coach must have went through when we won everything by only a couple of points.

We have one more tourney in Dryden at the end of month. The Dryden tournament is Public School board run and while we probably wouldn't win it all anyway we actually can't win it regardless. The Public board invites the Dryden and Sioux Lookout Catholic teams but in the end we can't be crowned champions. You would think that there could just be one tournament or series of tournaments among all the school boards in the region where all schools could participate and have a chance of winning. Gotta love politics. One day I foresee the demise of all school boards. The Ontario provincial government was pressured heavily in the last election about having separate school boards for Catholic schools because they would not provide school funding to create boards for other religious sects. In time I think there will be more pressure from these other religious groups and the government may just decide to have one system with no school boards at all. Problem solved right?

Don't forget to get your newly Sioux Lookout Blueberry Festival Flags. Large and small. I don't have a picture of one but you can see it up on the flag pole at the Travel Information Centre when you drive by. The flags are quite nice.

Well I guess I gotta get back on the treadmill before my Bocce playoff tonight at the Legion. I was at McDonalds yesterday so I gotta burn some calories. FYI, my final weigh at work for our six week contest was 215lbs. I lost 17 pounds. Not to shabby for a fat lazy guy. I plan to continue the exercise thing.

Lazy

Well, another week has passed by in a blur. I was in T-Bay for a few days for work. I have been a lazy as of late and have not been on the treadmill. I probably gained a few pounds back. I have actually lost 14 pounds since the beginning of February. Not bad for a fat lazy guy.

This week should be busy as well. I am traveling with my basketball team to Kenora on Friday. I hope the girls do well. It is a long day.

I have been trying to think out something to post about Sioux Lookout news and it has been tough this week. It has been slow and I haven't been around. I see Mcfee's(Fatheads) is open again. The building must have passed the structural analysis or whatever was done to make sure it was safe. I wonder when the sidewalk tunnel will come down. It sure looks bad. Speaking of looking bad, I wonder what will happen to the old Sioux Hotel. The building is still sitting empty with the top floor still showing the burn damage with no windows. There must be mold growing in there. We should get a betting pool going on which old building will be knocked down first or which one will just fall down. The old Sacred Heart School, Sioux Hotel, Train Station, burnt house on east Front St. by my office. There are probably a few more buildings we could add to the list. The train station and the old Sioux Hotel are supposed to be fixed up but who knows when this will happen.

I see the voting is done and my naked bum won. I will have to oblige at some point. I will also try to think of something else to vote on....
