The cars were very obvious and I'll agree on that. Every one of them had a nice long shot of the company logo on the front grille. The SD card was another one that bothered me because you have the close up of the card and as the woman pulls it out she shows it off to the camera for a couple seconds before pocketing it. The Nokia comments were a little over the top. How many times can we cram the word Nokia into one scene. The military equipment is not a problem at all. The military was a major focus of the movie (not one that I agreed with, but I can deal with it) so the presence of all the high tech military gear was completely justified, but it should have all be stomped into the ground IMO. I missed the references for Apple and Burger King so I can't comment on that. The PS2 just faded into the background. It was part of the scenery and not the focus of any one shot so I wouldn't classify that as product placement at all. That would be product placement that I can live with as it really isn't distracting. The Mountain Dew vending machine and the 360 were a little more intrusive, but they weren't as bad as some of the other items so I can overlook them. No Grimlock and Soundwave though, that's just totally unforgivable. :D

He has. Apparently he signed the big two RFA's (Torres and Greene) a couple days before he made the offer sheet. All the other Edmonton RFAs I see look like AHL players.

Today the glass seems half full, but I have relatives coming to visit later, so that might change.

Yeah. He's shown on the highway and then disappears. Supposedly he and Bonecrusher team up on Optimus, but they get beat down. Personally I think Frenzy was the best part of the movie.

I have immense trouble sticking to any kind of self-set routine. Every now and then I'll get the urge to do something and I'll do 30-40 push ups and maybe the same amount of sit ups, or go ride my bike for 30 minutes, but then I'll end up not doing anything else for a week. Every time I try to start some sort of routine I'll stick with it for a couple days, maybe a week at the most before it slips my mind and I completely forget about it.

Vanek now has a $50 million, 7 year contract with Buffalo thanks to Edmonton. TSN Link

Looks very nice.

Aw man. Comrie has been signed by the Islanders. I liked Comrie and was hoping that Ottawa would resign them.

A thief with a high trap ability is a must. Yeah. I didn't have one. Figured I could just tank the traps, but it didn't work out too well.

That must be it!

We're down to 24 again. I swear they are doing this just to screw with us.

I think we might have one 7-11 here in town. I know we used to have one in the far west end, but I'm not sure if it's still there.

Thank you for explaining that much clearer than my several aborted attempts ever were.

24 again. It seems to be going up almost as fast as it was going down the other day. :sad:

Number going up also indicates progress. I still prefer the kind of progress where the numbers get smaller. That always happens with my bank balance....does that mean I'm getting richer? That happens to you too?! I sure hope it means that I'm getting richer!

One of these days I will have to beat Durlag's Tower. I only tried it once and the first floor cleaned itself with the broken bodies of my companions and I.

23. :sad:

I decided not to bike out to the university today on account of it raining all day. :sad:

Where is what?

I should never have bought you that dachshund. Your memory must be going. It was a beagle not a dachshund. In this case however I was actually riding my bike, not walking the dog.

I thought that there was something going on there. I remember reading the "Oilers signed Nylander" article and then seeing the Washington article was a little confusing.

I discovered that at a nice leisurely 17km/h I can get from my house to the university I will be attending in the fall in about 30 minutes. Tomorrow I will see how much I can shave off that time.

Who's Matt Millen? He's the general manager of the Detroit Lions. According to Wikipedia he took over in 2000 with a team that just barely missed out on going to the playoffs and proceeded to run them into the ground. The team has a record of 24-72 since he took over.
