I don't know if I'm just being picky, but I think they're over-editing movie trailers. exhibit a There's so many cuts to new scenes, and SO MUCH time spent fading between cuts that it's like you're trying to watch the preview through the eyes of a slowly-waking post-operative patient in the hospital.
As much as Robin Hood looks really enticing, I will not watch that preview again. My eyes hurt from the experience, and there's hardly enough time between blinks to actually catch whatever the important image is that they so purposefully edited (in some of them at least).
Okay, maybe not all of them are that bad. I'm just tired of the slow-as-molasses blink-fade edit. THIS has good fast editing.

True enough, you have to get it when it is right for you not because someone wants to sell you a house.

Yeah. Someone is always predicting that house prices will be going up. It's usually a realtor's group. They might be right, but I've got a few too many questions in the air right now, so I need to wait!

Just some very questionable unsolicited advice, If you are getting a house get one soon as there are some predictions of climbing house prices this summer.
On the other hand rising interest rates and stricter mortagage rules may hamper this decision.

Whatever you want, sweetie. You want a new internet service provider; I want a dining room (to build my Lego Millenium Falcon in). Sounds like we need to move. ; )

For another opinion, Telus' service once connected has been very good, although sometimes when someone calls, I lose my x-box live connection during an important hockey game against some teenagers from Vancouver. I can't tell you how much that chaps my A$$.
The big problem comes when you need to make any kind of change to anything, Telus is by far the worst company when it comes to that kind of service I've ever experienced ever. In my life. Period. Literally. I have vowed that next time I need to change phones/internet/anything telus-related, I'm just switching to Shaw. Hopefully my wife is on board.

the last, uh, 30 seconds of this video are hilarious.

I saw a Pontiac Vibe with truck balls a few days ago, but I didn't have a picture of that to share.
We have Telus where I'm living now, and the internet cuts out if the phone rings.
