My wife and I spotted this car while we were looking for parking at the mall today. Its not unusual to see a car that’s badly parked and taking up 2 spots. But a car so very badly parked that they take FOUR spots? Yup, its been done. I’m not blurring out the license plate either, so if you know who it is, you can make fun of them (and maybe get the Ministry of Transportation to yank their driver’s license?).

• @netfrost out to see the ice sculptures? #
• #Sens stop trying to pass and aim for the empty net!!!! #
• Canada finally wins gold on home soil! Go #Canada go! #Olympics #Van2010 Grats Bilodeau! #

• Finally going to go see what all the excitement about Avatar is about. #
• Avatar was OK. The 3d was pretty neat, the effects great as well story was OK (very predictable). #
• I'm gonna miss the first 2 periods of tonight's men's olympic hockey game cuz I have to go to pre-natal classes. ergh! #
• @chrisavery My wife keeps saying he looks like a child rapist, but that's cuz she's a Flames fan. in reply to chrisavery #
• @twister65 I'm not convinced its people singing the Ole Ole song. I think its being played on the PA system. In any case, it has to stop! in reply to twister65 #
• Room prepped for painting. Lunchtime, then its time to paint the baby's room. Did I mention I hate painting? #
• First coat of paint is done. I %*&%()# despise painting inside of a closet. Had never done it before. Not sure if I'll put a 2nd coat there #
• @chrisavery Sweden is expected to be in the top 3 #fb in reply to chrisavery #
• Can you be considered an Olympic junkie if you watch 10-12 hours of Olympic coverage daily? #
• Though with the painting today all I did was listen to it from 2 rooms away… #
• @twister65 Aye, those wipeouts were insane. Takes not only skill, but courage. Heard women go about 120km/h and men 140km/h on that track in reply to twister65 #
• The mystery of the blue lines on the ski slope erxplained: http://tinyurl.com/ylcaot4 #
• Blh, breaktime is done. back to applying the 2nd coat of paint. What a way to spend a vacation…. #
• did I mention I hate painting? #
• Nesbitt wins gold!! #
• Canad gets another gold medal. Nesbitt wins the 1000 speed skating. #Olympics #Van2010 #
• Anyone using Google Buzz that I'm not following? http://www.google.com/profiles/lgareau #
• @stevetilley That song is severely getting on my nerves too. Its probably the only thing I won't be missing once the Olympics are done. in reply to stevetilley #
• And on that note, go Canadian hockey team! #Olympics #van2010 #
• Team Canada had me worried there for a second. Glad they got the Swiss monkey off their back. Bring on Team USA Saturday! #Olympics #van2010 #
• @twister65 I read about that last night (and about Dylan Black). What was on this morning? in reply to twister65 #
• @twister65 I wonder if that's just a placeholder for a week or 2 til a new team/show comes on. in reply to twister65 #
• @twister65 I honestly stopped listening to Virgin since the switch from The Bear. In the car its usually a CD or Team1200 during the week in reply to twister65 #
• @twister65 I only really listen to it when my alarm goes off (so for like 5 minutes at most), and on weekends. #
• @twister65 or when Jim Rome is on Team1200. I can't stand that guy. So much dead air between sentences. Not sure how he's so popular. #
• @twister65 Bear/Virgin has always had funny ppl in the morning. Bear's Breakfast, Rude Awakening, etc.. Probably new, funny ppl on the way in reply to twister65 #
• @twister65 The move isn't surpringing though. Virgin's been hurting in/ratings. Morning show used 2 B #1 yrs ago, but hasn't been in a while #
• @twister65 ROFL! That's hilarious and so random! Got pictures by any chance? Unless you're talking bottles of… in reply to twister65 #
• @twister65 Jay & Gonzo will be taking over Virgin morning show on Monday w/ another unnamed cohost. Rumor is that it may be Kath Thompson. #
• @twister65 I like Gonzo. Kath is good solo/produced segments, but I don't see her as show host with other ppl. #
• @twister65 I agree. At first glance it doesnt sound to be as good (or better) of a morning show. I guess time will tell. in reply to twister65 #
• @NachosAtMidnite Virgin's morning show. The show and 2 of the 3 hosts got canned yesterday in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
• @NachosAtMidnite Cub and Kitty yeah. Only Jay remains. Sucks for Cub, he's been there for many many years (was on evenings before) in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
• @twister65 That's just 2 funny! All we get is a daily visitor of the bunny kind. Crawls under the fence & hops arnd. Drives our cats nuts! in reply to twister65 #
• @NachosAtMidnite I'm sure Cub won't be unemployed long. He's very talented at what he does. in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
• @twister65 They updated mine as well. My house is no longer in bog. U can see my fence, but my shed isn't there, so it was b4 last summer in reply to twister65 #
• Gld medal #4 for Canada (Men's skeleton) Not bad for having never won gold on home soil before Vancouver. #Olympics #van2010 Go Canada! #
• @netfrost Arby's is finally open in Kanata? Hmm, might be worth the trek from Orleans. in reply to netfrost #

• http://twitpic.com/11zhyt – My famous SuperBowl nachos that I only make once a year. #
• I tried to watch 4 hours of commercials, but it kept on being interrupted by 30 seconds of Superbowl. #
• The number of commercials was totally ridiculous. And that CTV Olympic song? It sucked the first time around! Even more so the 90th time! #
• Great game though. Have to hand it to the Saints, they played a great game. #
• Need caffeine STAT! Brain is crashing! #

• Ah, now on vacation til the 22nd. Starting it off by going to the Sens/Flames game tonight. Sitting just behind the penalty box. Woohoo! #
• Was sitting first row right behind the Sens penalty box. Amazing seats, the view at that level is AWESOME! #
• @twister65 I hadnt been activated yesterday, just got it today. I read it'll take a week to get everyone done #Buzz in reply to twister65 #
• Habs stop the Caps' win streak at 14. Caps at least came back from being down 5-2 to tie it, and get 1 point for going to OT. #
• @chrisavery Can I hide in one of your suitcases? in reply to chrisavery #
• @chrisavery too true. in reply to chrisavery #
• Ooooooooh! #Starcraft2 beta to begin this month! I hope I can get in! #
• Rangers have put Brashear on waivers. Interesting….. #
• @twister65 So Leaclaire is hurt again, or is he still the backup for tonight? #Sens in reply to twister65 #
• @gamestopcanada Red Dead Redemption for the Xbox 360 in reply to gamestopcanada #
• RT @gamestopcanada: 20th CND fan to re-tweet the name of the title and platform wins a sweet prize pack! Red Dead Redemption for 360 #
• Great #Sens vs Caps game and a great #Survivor Heroes vs Villains episode. It was a great night of teevee! #
• And with the Sabres losing, Ottawa takes over the lead in the Northeast division and #3 in the conference. Repeat of 2007? I hope so! #Sens #
• @Rick_E_83 I don't use my Sandman71_work anymore, haven't for a long time. Follow this one instead in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• @Rick_E_83 the good thing about twitter is that you can block people. Tweetdeck even has "block and report spam" under a user's Other Action in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• No more Picard? Yes!!! #Sens #
• @Rick_E_83 I like Kuba. Less is the one we need to get rid of next IMO in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• @Rick_E_83 Err *Lee, not Less. Less is the way he plays in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• Looking at Cullen's injuries. He's really injury prone. Lots of concussions, leg and lower body injuries. Hmmmm #Sens #
• I'm curious about 2 things. Where Cullen will fit in the lineup, and which other D will the #Sens bring up, since we're now 1 short. #
• Unless Murray has another deal in the works to shed a forward and get another D #
• @Rick_E_83 Lee is already being brought up to replace the injured Campoli (long term). Still short a D in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• @Rick_E_83 or maybe we'll get something in the #Panthers clearing sale. Everything must go! Up to 75% off! http://tinyurl.com/yjx5e4e in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• @Rick_E_83 And it'd probably only be for a couple of games. Karlsson is expected to be back after the Olympics in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• ROFL! Rumours that the #Sens are top 3 teams sniffing around Comrie… AGAIN. #
• Too funny. Deal was originally Cullen for 2nd round pick. Murray tossed in PIcard as an afterthought. Here, take our garbage. LOL #Sens #
• @kenGe Adding Cullen to the mix is a good thing, regardless of injuries. I'm just wondering where he's going to fit, other than our PP in reply to kenGe #
• Hypothetical: Would you trade away Leclaire and use Elliot & Brodeur as your goailes? #
• @Rick_E_83 You were right. Derek SMith has been called up from BIngo. in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• Now to hope that Volchie and his agent accept teh contract that was offered to them this morning. We absolutely need to keep him. #
• Woohoo! RT @sskroughriders: Fantuz set to be in Green & White http://tinyurl.com/yfkr7jx #
• @Rick_E_83 Sucks for Cheechoo, guy has heart, just doesn't have the touch and speed he used to have. in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• @Rick_E_83 Aye, gives us the room to get a rental, and re-sign some players over the summer. We got lots of UFAs and RFAs in reply to Rick_E_83 #
• And it starts. Olympic coverage started at 1pm. Gonna be blued to the tv for the next couple of weeks. #
• @netfrost err glued. lol! in reply to netfrost #
• @chrisavery too bad it won't work with my 9200 PVR in reply to chrisavery #
• @twister65 watched the video. Both my wife and I are speechless. I'd guess they're going to pad those posts or do something before the event in reply to twister65 #
• @chrisavery Renting. IIRC, contract isn't up til this coming October. in reply to chrisavery #
• @chrisavery Yeah, I'll try that. Gotta watch stuff I've got taped first though. in reply to chrisavery #
• @twister65 Make the sides higher, or put something in front of those metal beams. Or maybe the CDN gvt will enforce airbags in reply to twister65 #
• Great opening ceremonies to the #Olympics Much better than I expected (though it'll be real hard to better China's ceremonies). #
• Happy that Gretzky got to light the torch. If one Canadian athlete is known the world over, he's the one. #
• @chrisavery Fully agreed. So one joint err poll didn't go up. Who cares, it was still a pretty awesome opening ceremonies. in reply to chrisavery #
• Shit breaks, nothing is 100% perfect. They recovered nicely IMO. Get over it and enjoy the games. and be proud to be Canadian. #Olympics #
• After a day of watching the #Olympics its time to watch the #Sens beat the #Redwings Go Sens Go! #
• Canada wins its first medal of the Vancouver #Olympics Heil wins silver, just barely beaten out of gold by US' Kearney @ Women's moguls. #

• It'll be fun to see in how many ways Bob Cole will screw up pronouncing Sjostrom's name while calling #Leafs games. #

• @twister65 Yeah, that makes no sense to me either. We're covered for flood/fire/theft. Same insurance as my car, so the cost is 15$/month in reply to twister65 #
• @twister65 its actually an 'all coverage' insurance.. would also cover earthquake, etc… #
• at my old apartment building it was required. couldn't rent without it. Same now with my mortgage company. #
• Back from the gym, just in time to watch the 2nd and 3rd periods of the #Sens game. Watched most of the 1st at the gym, but with no sound. #

• @SensChirp Kypreos is so Leafs biased; all he's missing is a big blue leaf tattooed on his forehead. Its why I don't listen to his opinion in reply to SensChirp #
• If the #Sens lose, PIcard's shitty play will be a very big factor. #

Since there’s a shortened calendar this month due to the Winter Olympic games, it was suggested to me that I include some of the Olympic hockey schedule. I’ve included the 3 known games for the Canadian hockey team, as well as the following rounds.
