Well, today was another holiday for us Canadians. It was Victoria Day, where we celebrate the Queen’s birthday even though it’s not really her birthday. Basically, it’s now become just another day for the government and businesses to take the day off work. But I got the day off since we were closed and was paid for it though, so I can’t complain.

It is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s birthday today though. His actual birthday… not a fake birthday…

So instead of work, I just did some things around the house today. I uploaded a new review on Renown, played some games with my sister, let her do some filming with my MiniDV camera, read my book, and burnt a new family DVD. Following supper the family decided to go see a movie too, so we went out and watched Over The Hedge. It was pretty funny and clean. I’d recommend seeing it. Avril Lavigne does a voice in it and I think it’s pretty safe to say she should stick with making music… ha.

My sister and I ate way too much popcorn tonight though. Man, do I feel so full and gross. Now I’m just sitting at my computer, hoping not to explode while listening to Stabilo’s new record (an awesome disc)…

So the Da Vinci Code was the big seller at the box office on the weekend. Not a huge surprise mind you, considering the controversy and promotion behind it. But apparently, according to the majority of critics and people I know who have seen it, it isn’t all that it is cracked up to be (no pun intended). I only know one person who says they sort of enjoyed it. Hmm. I’ll have to see it eventually, but it will probably be when it comes out on DVD. I’m saving my pennies for X-Men 3.

It looks like the Edmonton Oilers could very well make it to the Stanley Cup playoffs as they are winning their series 2-0. Crazy. We knew the teams would be revamped after the lockout, but who would have thought this? Imagine a Stanley Cup final series with Edmonton vs. Buffalo… We sure wouldn’t have seen that before the lock out. Either way, it would be great to see a Canadian team (besides Ottawa, heh) bring home the cup.

Well, tomorrow marks the beginning of the end of American Idol for this season. It’s the final two performing on Fox, with the results (and finale) airing the following evening. It’s going to be a fun two shows… I’m especially looking forward to seeing Daniel Powter singing Bad Day live tomorrow. ha.

Of course, things will depend on how well the contestants perform tomorrow night, but I’m still thinking my long time prediction (since the top 12 anyway) of Taylor Hicks winning is going to come true. I could very well be wrong though if Katharine’s fans pull through for her… But Taylor should definitely be the winner out of the two regardless of who actually wins.

Anyway, I’m off for the evening. I have to get my beauty sleep before work you know…

Rock on.
