Funny thing I noticed.... all American made. There must be a civic not much further down the list because it seems like everyone owns one of those.... ok so do I.
I found them in the baking section of the local grocery store.... who would have thought. In my mind I grouped them with chocolate bars and other snacks but there they were in their prepackaged glory surrounded by baking and produce.
In case you were wondering, Is it a good idea to microwave a twinkie?.... the answer is...
My favorite line, "I've lost visual contact with the twinkie"
I went to see Zombieland on Friday.... I liked the movie. It might even be a funnier zombie movie than Shawn of the Dead. A zombie comedy (zombidy?) works well. It isn't like Hot Shots, where there are gags throughout the movie. It really does a good job at being a zombie flick. I prefer these zombie movies to movies like Dawn of the Dead or Land of the Dead that seem to be more serious and are pretty much there to scare the shit out of you. Anyway, good movie.... I would recommend it, unless you have something against zombie movies.
The thing I started wondering after seeing this movie was where are the twinkies? Woody Harrelson's character Tallahasse seems to be on a mission to find twinkies because they remind him of a time that is gone... a time before zombieland. They do have an expiration date. I found myself thinking, " Where are you, you spongy, yellow, delicious bastards?" At the grocery store? nope.... Surly London Drugs will have them? Nope. The gas station store? nope, well not where I refueled my car last. Hmm I'll have to make a trip to the local Mac store or 7-11. I really haven't gone too far in my search to find them but I thought they sold twinkies in Canada.... maybe they don't. Has Canada's little Twinkie gauge gone empty?

Well here goes nothing.... I know, worst time of the year to start jogging. I am out of shape and not too motivated but I figured.... why not. I do have a treadmill in the amenities room in my condo building so if it gets too cold I can always count on that. We will see how long this lasts. I know if I was jogging first thing in the morning I would have failed the first day.
I am starting out by breaking it up and switching between walking and jogging. The path I chose is about 2.5km (May have bit off more than I can chew) but if I am not feeling up to it I can always cut it short..... unless I make it to the end then I have a long walk home. First goal, jog the whole thing?.... sure... ya that's the ticket.
Oh ya.... and what is this? (see picture below)
I came across this in Douglas Park last year and it still interests me..... it is concrete sidewalk that lead to nowhere. There is parking near the trees near the road on the left of the photo, and the rest of the path is in a circle... actually 2 circles and the path really just leads no nothing to the east and south.... I think it connects to a path on the north. For those of you familiar with this area of Regina, it is just west of where the road up the hill is (You can see it in the picture) and is NW of the track and field place.
Oh boy, it was cold on the motorcycle this morning. My thumbs were numb when I got to work.... and I found there is a wind warning once I got here.... It is supposed to die down by the end of the day.... The bike might get parked for the rest of the week, it is looking either cold, wet or both the rest of the week.
I started the blog on November 2005, and if you are counting the blog entries, add 156 to the total number of posts and that will give you how many posts I have actually written (OK typed).
My zodiac year is actually the Rooster according to the place mat at the local Chinese food restaurant…. but I don’t have anything against monkeys.
