Heeeere’s… Ricky…

Finally back at home, sitting in my comforting computer chair with an actual working Internet (thanks for nothing, Rogers) and bugged-out eyes thanks to Jumbo Video. Will explain this later.

The weekend was good. We hit Webers on the way up to the Muskokas for a nice burger and some ice cream. The place is insane, even moreso on the way home. Just read some of the stats on that link, it’s crazy. From there it was on to a quick stop at the Muskoka Store and then on to the cottage. From there, it was mostly relaxing and swimming – LOTS of swimming. On Saturday I probably swam a good couple kilometres, more than halfway to the other side of Echo Lake. Did a bit of fishing and caught nothing, but also got to try my hand at windsurfing for the first time. I had no problem hoisting the sale (har!) but had a bit of trouble keeping it up (har!) – my entire 30 minute attempt amounted to about 5 feet worth of distance, but there’s always next year!

Today, it was back to work. Jumbo Video here in Bolton is working with my new pending site, myCaledon, to do new DVD reviews. Basically they provide me with three DVDs on Friday, I review them, give them back by Monday (because they aren’t officially released until Tuesday) and then put the reviews up when they’re available for rent. This weekend it was Van Wilder (ok), We Were Soldiers (very good), and perhaps the worst movie I’ve seen in all my years of movie watching, The Sweetest Thing. BAD. Never rent this – you’ve been warned.

So now it’s back to work – hope y’all kept the place tidy while I was gone – looks good so far.

Cheers!
