Saw III and a Bruins Victory all on the Same Day

I am one happy camper.

Hello Kate...I Want to Play a Game...(uh and a Bruins Rant)

So it has been a while since a Bruins rant so here goes: Why in the hell do I bother watching the games anymore??? The team changes but the results are always the same. Last year you may recall during the B's season opener they played a solid 59:49 seconds of hockey, only to give up a late goal to the Habs and lose 2-1. Well last night, they made it 59:58 minutes before surrendering the GWG to Montreal and lost 3-2. Now I know the Bruins aren't going to only have 2 wins by the end of the season, but at this pace they MIGHT have 10 if they are lucky. And last night's loss wouldn't be so painful had I not actually referenced the fact there was 10 seconds to go and the Bruins hadn't been scored on...man that hurts. Ah well, with our England trip coming up (Nov. 1-14th) I have one more game to watch (Ottawa on Saturday) then I have an excuse not to watch them.
Torrent is going well, only 1 more show before the trip and all the pre-production has been done. It is just a matter of getting in the field, shooting it, editing it and then I am gone...woo hoo.
And the most important announcement of the day: SAW 3 opens today! So Kate and I will be first in line at the 7 o'clock show... nothing says romance on a Friday night like a little blood, guts, and gore! I have been waiting for this for a year...Saw 3, don't disappoint!

Meet the Parents Part 2

Kate and I got to visit with my family recently in Orillia. I had not seen my sister Jocelyn, my step-mom Janine or my Grandma for quite some time so we improtu hopped on a bus this past weekend and well, kinda invited ourselves to dinner! It was a wicked time and I was really glad to catch up with everyone. So we had to take the 8:15 bus home from Barrie and when we got on the platform, it was HEAVING. Waaaaay too many people and we had been informed that highway 400 was closed due to some idiot running onto the HW and getting splattered. GRRRRRRR, anyway we took a cab back to T.O and managed to relax at about 10:30. Ah well, despite the extra travel time, the $100 for the cab and the more than annoying people on the bus to Orillia, I can honestly say it was a cheap price to pay to seeing the smile on my dad's face when we surprised him at the door.

Back from Cali, Looking Forward to England

Well (once again) it has been a while since an update. But nonetheless, here goes: Kate and I went to the podcast expo in Ontario, CA and shot an episode of Torrent that I think we are both really proud of. Not only were we able to nail a bunch of key interviews and manage to not miss any of our flights, we also found out we work very well together professionally. No seriously, I didn't expect us to argue or anything but you really never know if you will click professionally with your significant other until you do it. I am very proud of her and she was a HUUUUUUUUGE help, I wish I could work with her on every shoot. Only a few more weeks and we will be able to hop on a plane again and head to the motherland.
Got back from a shoot today (episode 25 of Torrent which will air this Saturday) and it went really well. My good buddy Matt Parkinson came out and did the field producing and once again he was a big help (despite not giving me kisses when I wanted them like Kate did). We shot it at the Toronto Aerospace Museum and pictures are available here.
The Bruins are currently 1-1 and they looked pretty good in their second game of the season, uh we won't talk about their season opener...that was just painful! They play Atlanta tomorrow, let's hope their A-squad shows up!

OUCH!

Ah well, 81 to go.
