If you get a chance to play Halo 3 or if you play it again, have a Elephant race. See who is the first to go around the perimeter 2 times.

Haha, yeah. We always watch all the escapist reviews in our office. I like how he bashes even the games he likes. But I played Halo 3 and I actually think it's awesome. In my opinion it's the best looking game made to date. It looks better than Lair or Heavenly Sword or even Gears of War. And it even looks better than Bioshock which he seemed to like more than Halo 3, but which I'm not sure I agree with (I didn't really like Bioshock to be honest). Sure, the models are lower polys, but they make up for it in terms of lighting effects and dynamic objects and particularly excellent inverse kinematics. People who say that the game doesn't look that good are clearly retarded.

Alison, we get wasps in our house all the time. NBD. The most I ever had in my house at one time was 3. But just leave a door open and they'll eventually fly out. It's not usually more than 1 though at any given time. Go out and look around your house and see if there's any holes they're getting into or any nests that they're building. If you see neither of those things, it's not going to be an infestation. It's just random bugs getting into the house.

Besides which, by the end of October we will likely have some snow. The wasps will be dead from the cold by then anyhow.

so, we have wasps in our basement... awesome

I saw the queen checking a light bulb as I was collecting my laundry this morning...
and, well, I can't exactly go near them myself, so this is going to be AWESOME!
and in the meantime, my pants are going to go very mildewy...

oh, AND my roomie was like "let's not panic, maybe the wasp you saw flew in while we had the door open" ... to the basement?? and what queen leaves her nest at this time of year??

and then the other TA for my class said something like "you're going to die in your house!" ... excellent!

Brodziak and Gilbert are both on track for 82 goals!

Oilers on sportsnet in black & white with no sound. Wow. This should be fun.

Maybe I'll be spending some part of this season at the sportsbar at the bottom of the hill...

You really can't put a price on this stuff...

"He reminds me of the Wizard of Oz," said MacTavish. "You comb his hair, put a white shirt on, wheel him out in front of the camera and he'll say whatever you guys want."

More on the awesome sniping here

Ah, Kevin Lowe:

"What happened was, all of a sudden, we got a lot of defencemen. We traded for Grebeshkov. We signed (Dick) Tarnstrom. We traded for Pitkanen. We signed (Sheldon) Souray. Then, I'm thinking, 'Holy mackerel, we've got a lot of guys here,' " said Lowe.

Careful with those facebook pics, kids.
