If you like the TV show you will like the movie. We were not expecting much, usually when they make movies of Tv shows, the movies suck or are not very different from the TV show (X-files is a good example of this). However I must say I was pleasantly surprised, it was not the greatest movie and I wasnt blown away.. however there was enough there for it to be different from the TV show and funny at a whole new level.
Besides the fact that we finally got to see bart’s weenie.. and met spider pig! 
I highly recommend you see this movie.. although perhaps wait for it to come on video
Apparently if you look hard enough in the crowd.. you will see a certain “dictator” as well.. I guess I missed him!

I used to always love the 241 pizza in ThunderBay, on many occasions we ordered our girls night out pizza from there, it was delicious and the price was always right. I recently decided to try the one here in Calgary across from the Canada Olymic Park. The place is shared by a Robbins donuts. Once we were inside, we realized right away that maybe we were going to be dissapointed. The place was generally dirty, and falling apart, the furniture was ripped and the freezers and counters had stains and smudges all over. There was even a large fly sitting inside the warm display cupboard on top of a bran muffin.
There were no pizza slices on display, even though the sign said they had slices, the pizza’s were not 2 for 1, as the chain previously boasted, and they were out of pineapple, although it was one of the offered toppings on the list. Anyways, we decided to get a pepperoni pizza. Our pizza was ready in 20 min which was nice, it was very small though (roughly 8-9 inches in diameter). Once we brought it home ( about a 10 min ride), the pizza felt cold, upon biting into it, we realized that the bottom layer of cheese was still cold, and the tomato sauce was cold as well… very strange… I had to heat my slices up in the microwave and add hot sauce on it to give it some kind of taste. The crust had the texture of bread and not pizza dough.
All in all, it was a very dissapointing and expensive experience (10$). I wouldnt recommend you go there unless you are very very desperate for food and every food place on the way is closed.

I am the proud owner of a set of USBCell AA batteries and i put them through the test the last couple of weeks.
The nice thing about the USBCell Batteries is that you can charge them through your USB port of your computer or with a regular battery charger.
So now you don’t have to run out of power any more. When you charge the USBCell AA’s though your USB port you will see a light that tells you how the charging is going.
It takes a while for the batteries to charge through your USB port, in my case it took a little over 5 hours and they get real HOT. But you can just charge the USBCell batteries in your normal charger and keep the USB port for backup use.
These AA batteries are 1300mA and that is enough for lots of use but it is also limited i would not use them in things like Digital Camera’s. I use them around the house in different objects like my Wii Mote and my Wireless mouse and they perform as good as any battery.
So if you want to be a bit cooler then your friends then have a look at this great product. You can order them (pack of two) for 20 dollars at ThinkGeek.
