My wife makes me eat.
I don’t mean that she straps me to a chair and forces me to, erm what was I talking about? Oh yes, sorry, got side tracked there for a moment.
My wife makes me eat but doesn’t force me. Allow me to explain. I do not have the widest taste in foods ever. Wide doesn’t come close, its about the size of a supermodel if I had to describe it. I came to Canada just over 8 years ago and in that time I have ‘discovered’ many tasty treats that I had not encountered before, either by accident or through dedicated avoidance. I realise that I had many foods already tasted in my mind and my pre-conceived notions of what they tasted like meant that I didn’t try them. It took my wife to, well in truth it took several beers for me to try a Caeser salad for the first time, and as slightly inebriated as I was, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Since then, foods have become my friends. Foods such as pizza (how did I live without it), mushrooms, cheese, and garlic have almost become everyday meals. Salads have become my lunches. I really don’t understand how I could have gone on so long without them.
Neither can my wife, who is a trained chef and works in a kitchen. Since my alcoholic salad, I have even discovered a staple of British foods that I had hardly ever touched, curry. Life is good when you can appreciate good food. Its even better when your wife is a great cook who makes the best food you have ever tasted. But enough about her salads, lets get back to being strapped to the chair………..
Have you ever wanted to IM someone but not been at home, or had a cell phone that had an IM on it? Now you can IM from any internet connected computer in the world. Well, maybe not those with pop up blockers, or firewalls forbidding such activities, and maybe not on the really slow old computers running Windows 95. But for everyone else, you can!
Kool IM is the place to head if you want to have access to all your IM accounts. Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, AIM, GTalk, and Jabber are all accessible. If you are one of those people with multiple accounts you can check everything with one click. Once you have signed up, your accounts are ready to connect with a click of a button!
Seriously, this is a cool thing!
In the far distant future, water has become the most important thing in the universe, and since the Empire controls all mining, it controls all the water. Hence, the pirates who want to get some water for themselves. Enter the Ice Pirates.
This isn’t a serious movie, far from it, but its fun, its tongue in cheek, and it’s one of those movies that can be classed as a guilty pleasure. Taking its lead from the large number of sci fi movies that had come out in the previous few years, Ice Pirates takes a little bit from everything, mixes in a huge amount of humour and some swashbuckling and away it goes.
Ice Pirates stars Robert Urich, Mary Crosby, and Michael D Roberts as pirate/princess/pirate respectively. The best thing that can be said about the acting is that they enjoyed themselves making this movie.
Don’t worry about the plot, or the special effects, just enjoy this silly space journey. You may hate it, you may love it, but you have to see it!
