NEWS PAPER

Newspaper Article About Boxing Day Morning
Above is an article from the NOW that I scanned which has a photo of Jason, Brian, and I (in the top photo, on the right) sitting outside futureshop around 1am, in line for their doorcrashing deals!  Hoorah for newspaper appearance!  Click the image to make it larger.
This year we went much earlier and were the second group in line.  We watched Star Wars while sitting in line with a heat lamp and making new friends.  Brian, Jason and I were the first there, and later I drove and picked up Nate in exchange for dropping Jason at home.
Our goal this year was a Blu-ray player, and we executed our plan perfectly!  In and out with a Sharp Blu-ray player for Nate, and for myself?  Well, I just had to drop the cash on a 7.1 surroud sound reciever that was packaged with a 5.1 speaker setup and my precious Sony Blu-ray player.  It has made for some really awesome movie nights at my place.  Now I just need to find time to get the speakers properly setup on the wall instead of sitting one on the planter, and the other on the dining room table.  Speaker stands for the front two would be nice too so that I can take our huge old speakers and bring them downstairs.

Newspaper Clippings from 50 Hour Challenge

Saturday, November 29th, 2008
There have been two articles in the paper, this first one was in the Peace Arch Newspaper today, on page 22:

Garnering first prize was Paul Romein’s group, Raised by Monkeys. Romein has entered several of these contests and is pretty well established as a “mini” filmmaker. Check out his website at www.paulromein.ca.”
This second article is more specific and has my website written in it so hopefully people can use that to come watch the contest version of the film if they are interested!
Actually – if you are reading this and got my website from the paper, I’d love to hear from you – just post a comment on here!

Wonderful world

God gave us a world to live in, Food to put on our plates, Water to drink when we are thirsty, That flows down rivers and lakes. Animals that live on the land, Birds that fly in the sky, Fish that live in the sea, All these things that please the eye. When will we come to realise, What a beautiful world we have, We should all want good for the earth, Not destruction and all that is bad. So why do we have to fight, Bringing loss, heartbreak and tears, We live our lives each day, With uncertainties, worries and fears. Why is there so much bitterness, Let's say to ourselves it must cease, People should all come together, Then the world will at last live in peace. I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom, for me and you. And I think to myself... what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue, and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night. And I think to myself... what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow, so pretty i...

The Coldest Winter I Ever Spent Was a Summer in San Francisco

The Coldest Winter I Ever Spent Was a Summer in San Francisco Posted on November 30, 2011 Locale: San Francisco, California? Paris, France? Duluth, Minnesota? Milwaukee, Wisconsin? Originator: Mark Twain? Horace Walpole? James Quin? R. Q. Grant? Lord Byron? Anonymous? Dear Quote Investigator : Living in Menlo Park near San Francisco I have heard the following witticism credited to Mark Twain many times: The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco. I actually enjoy the weather here, so this saying always seemed implausible to me. Also, the San Francisco Chronicle once printed an article that cast doubt on the Twain attribution. Can you figure out who created this joke? Also, was the remark originally about SF or some other locale? Quote Investigator : There is no evidence in the papers and speeches of Mark Twain that he ever made this remark about San Franc...
