Blog Updates

As you may have noticed I have begun posting entries again on Bloggin Blodgett.  I have been absent for some time due to the constraints of work and school which has made it difficult to Blog.  I will be resuming the blog on a full time basis shortly.  There are some design changes and layout changes with more to come over the next year.  For those of you have followed me prior to my absence you will be familiar with some of my regular weekly posts ie The Vault, Today's Photo, Chez Blodge, Character Wednesdays these will be resuming over the coming year along with a few new regular posts.

On the agenda

I can feel the chill here from my bedroom without looking out the window to know this is an indoor day.  But that's ok I have a full list of projects on the go.  I smell bacon.  I love bacon.  I guess top of the morning to ya is in order.   I rarely sleep in so I'm rather enjoying that I did.  Ok enough gloating time to get up.  

Have my Blueberry Green Tea now so I'm warming the engines for what's going to be a busy weekend.  Plus I have a little sniffle thing going on.  Today's itinerary consists of: painting, photography project, a little school reading, homework, blogging, more renovations and culinary foodies adventures still deciding....  (when will the madness end?) 

I'm also due for a movie and seeing there's bunch of new releases to choose from.  Hansel and Gretel... hmmm meh (we'll save that one for later)... Warm Bodies... I have tea thank you very much.... (I'm lying secretly I'm like yeah zombies!!!)  Stand up Guys  ooooohhhhh now we're talking.  Choices choices.  So while I ponder,  feast your eyes on some photocandy.. Hey everyone who comes to the party gets a loot bag! That's what mom said and I'm with mom. I've decided perogies we're going eastern European this weekend. Cabbage rolls may also be in order.  Any suggesions hit up the open mic below. 

And for your prying eyes this week's Character Wednesday's we take a look into He-man Origin and Masters of the Universe #6,  Superior Spiderman 1 and 2.  As well as an indepth look at Injustice Gods Among Us.  Have a great Saturday everyone!

Back to School - New Blog

Headed back to the drawing board this week, well kind of.  So after a decade of avoiding the inevitable Bloggin Blodgett has decided to Ante Up and head back to the Institution of High Learning.  Yep that's right: Blodgett goes back to school! College that is.  I will be studying Business for the next umpteen years. The Majority of the classes I will be taking are online except for that Math stuff.  Oh how I loathe thee math.  (Shivers down my spine)  How will this affect my current projects? For one I am hoping that it won't.  Secondly I have a plan.  Oh yes!!!! I have come up with a posting schedule which if I manage to stick to should keep Bloggin B consistent.  On a side note if I come across as off the wall a little as of late its the drugs. I'm trying to get my mojo back.  Dr. Evil stole it and supplanted a "evil" virus in its place.

I am currently taking Accounting and Business Communications.  Both courses seem rather interesting to their perspective degrees.  Going Back to School is quite the adventure for me I must admit.  Unfortunately for you the people there won't be a film like Rodney Dangerfield's as I neither have the time or budget to create such a spectacle.  It would be fun to document though.  I'll see what I can do -- no promises. But what I do promise is to blog to my hearts content about the fiasco.  Ironically along with the Business Communications course comes an assignment which is right up my alley : blogging.  I am required as part of the B. Comm course to create a blog which relates to various topics covered in the course.  I have decided to take it a step further and will maintain this blog as both a learning tool for myself as well as for others.  I am your average laymen so to speak and have limited knowledge on both running a successful business and communicating well in business -- hence going back to school. So journey with me on the new Blog : Your Average Sucker.  What are you waiting for click the link.  And of course have a great Tuesday.

Ridden

The Monday Madness begins in bed where I have been since Saturday afternoon.  I blame people who congregate in call centers, sharing their diseases with the populous for my feverish demise.  (Those who understand that reference I hope they burn with guilt. Just Kidding.)

The weekend started off great.  Friday I watched Captain America on Netflix with a special somebody who hadn't seen it.  I recently signed up for Netflix due to my obsession with Monster Park (Android Game).  They had an offer I couldn't refuse : Gold.  You need Gold to buy Monsters.  So I signed up for the trial and was awarded a mighty 200 pieces.  I just decided to keep the service.

Saturday I ran a couple errands had lunch and a pitcher with the boy DJ Vader (local producer).  We decided to hit up Coopers Pub since we had never eaten there before and I had just picked up some computer supplies at Canada Computers which is right beside it.  It was practically empty which isn't necessarily a good thing on a Saturday afternoon although the weather as pictures above was quite nasty. I ordered their Royal Burger.   The Burger was good but I'm not really a fan of crumpling burgers.  Darth's burger on the other hand was just fine.   The beer as always was delightful (add an English to that and it sounds splendid)

I was planning on updating a few sections of the blog this weekend including what's happening in Aqua-land but I fell asleep Saturday when I arrived home and have felt ill since I woke up.  I feel the wooze coming back on so I'm going to end this entry now and fade into the land of milk and honey.  Hope you all have a great week.  Undercovers Blodgett. 

At the Mory

Great day here in the Mory yesterday. We headed out from Thornburny around noon and after a couple stops along the way we arrived just in time for the 3 o'clock check in.  After unpacking a weeks worth of baggage for a two day trip we headed done to Blue Heron to grab some tickets for the sunset cruise.  Mission accomplished!

Now it was time for some food.  We ventured over to ShipWreck Lee's for some fish and chips where we met the Captain Luke who served up a mighty hardy meal before us pirates headed out for the voyage. 

At dusk we boarded our ship for a two hour must see ride down to the scenic caves in all their glorious basking of sunlight as darkness creeps over the Little Cove. 

It was a beautiful start to a long weekend.  Today we sail the high seas out to Flowerpot island for the five hour hike across their treacherous trails. Stay tuned for more details and pictures as Pirate B conquers the north.   In the meantime here's a few mobile samplers. 

Arise young one

Time to arise and get this roadtrip underway.   Heading up to Tobermory once I get my kinetic energy going.  Currently situated outside of Collingwood as driving 5 hours last night to spend two hundred bucks to sleep didnt seem feasible when I have a free bed here.  Planning on taking in some hiking this afternoon over at Flowerpot Island.  Should make for some cool pictures along with the sunken ships in the crystal blue waters of Big Tub Harbour.  Time for Popeye to eat his spinach stay tuned to  Tumblr  for instagram updates (signal pending).  Have a satisfying Saturday!!

Ahh the pains

Ahhhh the pains of labour!!!! Its been a week since I started the fitness plan and Im feeling ripe and raw on the start of day 10.  Today is rest day from pumping iron (call me Arnold)  Cardio is daily.   Haven't smoked for 10 days which is good but far from a record for me.  The real test will be August 21st which is a special day for yours truely.    Hopefully soon this dry itching will subside. 

In all this chaos I call my schedule I'm trying to figure out a routine for working out and balancing the other areas of my life which need tlc.   One of those being a photoshoot with a buddy who has wicked long hair (I can be gnarely dude)  I am trying to shoot before he chops it all off for a cancer fundraiser.

Also this weekend is Mississauga Rib Fest which I plan on devouring so I will have to do extra cardio in the morning.Well It is Wednesday which means were close to the weekend.  May the force be with you!

PHOTO SHOOT COMING THIS SUMMER!!

Photo Shoots, Vault Update, New Creatures.... busy B

Definitely making some Pho this coming week, I've been lofting on cooking this for a while.  Chez Blodg has been slacking on the kitchen front.  Its going to busy a busy week with a number of photo shoots I have planned.  Also I'm really looking forward to heading down to Niagara and Buffalo next weekend.  Lots of interesting things to photograph in the Niagara/Buffalo area... Camera will be making an appearance.   Henry's Camera, Best Buy and Target are on the hit list as well once they let me out this zoo.  Planning to hit up CheeseCake Factory too for some good eats.  Price point pending I'm really hoping to be able to finally video throwing this laptop off the balcony upon my return (long overdue).  This post was suppose to be done a while ago. 


The Toy Vault has been updated once again with a few new editions so watch for out for the pics this coming week.   I will be adding a couple new little guys to the aquarium towards the end of the week.  All is going well so far in Aqualand.

Mississauga 2012 Budget Open House

For those interested in how your financial contributions (tax money) is being utilized are invited on Wednesday at 7:00 pm to an Open House which will discuss what is on the agenda for 2012.  More info can be found here.

A dream come true

I have been in the aquarium hobby for about 6 years give or take.  I remember when I started out with nothing more than a five gallon tank which had been collecting dust in my sisters room.  I had no idea what I was doing and for the most part still have much to learn.  Over the years fish have come and gone, plants have shriveled up, and the tank sizes have grown from 5 to 20 to 30 to 55 to 90 which is as far as I plan on going.   Well until I'm brave enough to try a Marine Tank.   Yesterday I came across a great deal for a 90 gallon tank with stand and thanks to a little bonus from a recent Condo Sale Bloggin B splurged on the beast.  It is a nice size just what I have been waiting for.   No more spacing concerns for the breeds of fish I plan on housing.  So Happy New Year once again.  This year is already begun with a few blessings.  Stay tuned Bloggin B. 

Posting Resumes Tomorrow

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  After a few days of running around like a chicken who lost his head, I was able to spend a relaxing two days near Collingwood.  The first major snowfall of the year hit that day as well which was perfect timing for a photo-shoot around the Blue Mountain Resorts.  Pictures will be posted tomorrow night when regular posting will resume as well. 

Go leafs!!

Live from the box at the ACC ... Also there will be limited posting over the next 5 days.

Drink beers,.eat food... Distillery District today

Posting will be scarce today as I'm heading down to Toronto Distillery District for some Christmas Festivities ands eats.  7D is coming along too so look out for pics later......

Twelve days and counting

Twelve more days to go. The malls are starting to look a little frantic as people are beginning to flock to them for the last minute gift items. While we still haven't seen a snowfall down here, chances are likely that we'll have a white Christmas. I love when it snows on Christmas!! If you haven't had the chance to enjoy any nice Christmas Shows this Saturday the Living Arts Centre will be hosting Voices of Christmas.  What would Christmas be like without Music?  And baking?  Speaking of baking I will be preparing a few Christmas goods myself.  Watch out for some pics and recipes. 
On another note it seems like over here :

 

Life is beginning to populate as the Spiral Legs have begun to light up a little more at night.  It will be curious to see how the Monroe Towers look all lite up.  I have yet to scale the walls with my grapple gloves to peer into the building but feedback from people who have seen them is that they are .. awkward?  I've always had the notion that this building will lose its "WOW that's so Cool looking" nostalgia very quickly.  I'm still looking for a hookup to get me through security so I can climb the 50 flights of stairs in order to take pictures of people parking at the upper level of the Bay at Square one.   

Its just about time for some breakfast so I will be ending this rant shortly.  Speaking of food and well throw in some Robots here's a good example of wasted time and money on frivolous research that is only going to have a negative impact on our future.  Too negative not so sure. A bunch of people in Munich have discovered how to get a Robot to make a Sandwich upon command.  I wonder if they could teach it well OK I'm going to be nice.... Bunk!!!!!!!! There it is I have said it, I'm taking a stand, no Robots!! There's just something disturbing about the concept of a future in which we can't even amass the effort to get up and slap two slices of bread together with a little lettuce tomato and meat oh and don't forget the mayo.  So let's all bask in the glory of knowing that very soon we will no longer have to waste time making sandwiches.  A question comes to mind "How will they know if the mayo is still good?"  Just saying bad mayo is well... bad? (shoulder shrug)

Last but not least the details for the $100 Christmas give away will be posted here tonight at 8pm.  You must be a Fan of Bloggin B to participate.  Now I'm off to see the wizard the breakfast wizard that is.  Have a good week. 

The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

Today marks the annual National day of Remembrance for Violence Against Women, a day wherein we remember those women who have been killed and abused.  The day of remembrance also includes the École Polytechnique Massacre, a day wherein fourteen women were specifically targeted and murdered because they were women.  Please offer a moment of silence today in honor of all women who have suffered at the hands of abusive men.
