Justin TV

I'm surprised someone hasn't tried this before. Justin has strapped a camera to his hat and uploads live to the internet. This looks like it might be interesting. Gives a whole new meaning to reality t.v. Though it does remind me of that movie with Matthew McConaughey, Ed Tv, and hints of
The Truman Show.



The video doesn't seem to be loading properly so here is a link.

More from the Mountain

We have spent another nice day on Mont-Tremblant. We were lucky enough to get some snow last night for the skiers. Wasn't a lot of snow only about a centimeter, but just enough to make the ski hill nice for the day. The warm weather didn't hurt either. It was about 6C today. Debbie and I walked down to the village to meet the skiers for lunch and did a bit of shopping. I was very proud of myself because I only spent 8 dollars on a new hat. Not bad for all the tempation. Over all its been another nice day. We have to be out by 11am tomorrow so it will be back to reality by Monday night.


The skiers get ready to hit the hills for the day.















Some pictures from the chair lift. Don't they know that Mark and Judy are supposed to be separted at all times.

Here is the group of us sitting in the middle of the village on a break from shopping/skiing having a beer.


















You can just about make out the half pipe that the snowboarders use.
Those damn snowboarders according to all the skiiers.

Greetings From Mont-Tremblant

This is my first attempt at blogging from somewhere other than my computer room. With the help of my friend Judy and her snazzy new laptop we are blogging from the top of Mont-Tremblant. The drive up was nice and uneventful and we are just starting to unwind.
There hasn't been any skiing just yet.... That will be tomorrow.
Spring has definitely started to arrive here in the mountains, but not completely.

Its really nice and warm but it is snowing as we speak so there should be some nice new snow on the runs for Sunday morning.
We will let you know how things turn out.
There will also be some shopping done during the day.





Here are some more pictures of the village and our Chalet.

















Goodbye from Tremblant for now.
More to follow on Sunday.

Music Memories

I'm just spending a quiet afternoon in the computer room listening to music, unwinding after a
Sunday shift at work. I started to think about some the old songs that I used to love and started searching for them. I'm curious to see how they have held up over time. I'm guessing 'cause I listened to a lot of music in the 80's that some aren't going to be as good as I remember.

So lets go back and start in 1987.
The song is Boom Boom Boom by Paul Lekakis.
I don't think I ever saw a video for this song, but I do remember hearing for the first time at Astrolab.
Astrolab was a dance bar for teenagers where no alcohol was served.
It was alright, it had a great light show, and played lots of great music.
I didn't have all that much fun, it was a bit intimidating.

So here is a live performance of Boom Boom Boom.
I don't remember him being so gay.



I don't want call him a one hit wonder, but here is the 20th anniversary video of Boom Boom Boom.



Surprise, surprise Paul has a new video called "I need a vacation".
Its a little bit catchy, but the chorus is just bad.



Who the hell says they need to go on a vacay....

Anyway back to the music.

A bit out of order.

Here's Shannon with Let the music play.



Next in line is the boy band that started it all.

New Kids on Block.

I was lucky enough to see them in concert here in Ottawa twice.
The first time was with my brother who was about 14 at the time.
He still claims that I scarred him for life when I made him attend the first concert with me. A concert with 10,000 screaming girls, I don't know how that scarred him....

The second show I went with my best friends sister.
Hey I had a great time.

I found the ticket stubs the other day.



Been to a concert lately, check out the prices for these tickets.
Notice the rain or shine on the second stub.
It was during the Ex in August and it poured for about four hours before the show, everyone was soaked, but I still had a great time.

Here is "The Right Stuff" the song that started it all for the New Kids On The Block.



The begging of the end....
Step by Step.



Thats it for tonight I'll have more tomorrow.

Super Mario Galaxy

Another thing I love is Super Mario....all the way back to the original. Were not far off from the release of the next game in the mega-franchise, Super Mario Galaxy. I'm going to keep an open mind because there has not been a game by Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario, that I have not loved. I hope that he takes advantage of the Wii and all that potential.

Here is the latest game trailer.



Mario has certainly has come along way from his beginnings way back in 1981. Here is Mario's first apperance on the video game screen.

He doesn't look bad for 26.

The person playing the game isn't a pretty good player too.

Madonna's H&M Commercial

I love anything Madonna. Here is her new commercial for H&M Clothing. Just because she hasn't made enough money yet Madonna has designed some clothing. Its a bit odd the first time round, but after a couple of viewings I see the charm.
Check out the H&M web site the Madonna collection has some fantastic graphics.
