reprisal

So, my doctor told me that there's nothing wrong with my back in terms of the spine and all its minutiae. Which means it was (and kinda still is) a problem of either muscles and nerves. I figure it's a pinched nerve, and it seems to be getting better. This is good.

I ended up seeing a couple of movies in the intervening time. Children...

So, I went for X-Rays Wednesday night after the snow hit the ground (and stayed there, damn it!). I hope I don't have a herniated disc or anything, though it's doubtful. It doesn't strike me down with intense pain to merely sit up, or walk; let alone go to work and grimace through the tough(er) parts, so I think it's less severe than that.

Merry Xmas to all!

So, Xmas came early and I headed to the local markets to purchase a few things that I had my eye on. I ended up getting a jacket to replace the Nike one I've been wearing since Secondary School, and two new pairs of pants since most of my old ones are too big for me now ( ). I also bought a french press...

So, if you haven't heard (and it's likely you haven't), there was a bit of a Wind Storm on the West Coast of British Columbia. The power went out where I work at about 9:30, then the wind pulled a bedroom skylight off of my boss' house at about Noon. It was something, to see thirty meter tall trees bowing and cracking so violently. Gusts...

Lest We Forget.

ROME is mine, at last. It's a truly marvelous series, and I can't wait to get some friends over to watch a few episodes.

Gunslinger Girl is a strange, strange anime series. It's well done, but still somewhat disturbing in places.

Did I mention that I got food poisoning for the first time? They must have had a new person making sushi that day... I...

I am simultaneously amazed and horrified that it is already November. My perception of time was that it used to move slower than it does now, and I can't quite explain why.

The Prestige is likely the best movie that I've seen all year, and I've seen quite a few. Much better than Saw III, which was a bit disappointing -- especially the ending.

Still...

I took the day off today to attend the Annual General Meeting of my First Nation. I thought it started in the morning, but that was incorrect, it starts this afternoon. It's refreshing to be wearing 'nice' clothes for a change. Working at a U-Vin winery means I'm wearing a lot of jeans, old khakis, and non-emblazoned t-shirts almost all the time.

Other than that,...

Took my little bro to see Jet Li's Fearless. It's easily the best Jet Li movie that I've seen to date, but after looking at his film history I've not seen quite a few.

I haven't posted anything here lately, but mostly because I don't have much to say... I get up, go to work, come home, eat, do whatever, sleep and repeat the...
