Yeah… I’m not so sure you’d want them singing this song about *you*. But the melody is very good and frankly the lyrics make me laugh so here it is.
Not really safe for work if you can even stream this to your work machine.

Toronto Trip pictures from July
So, I’ve *finally* figured out what I’m doing and have culled through my Toronto images from our July trip.

Please click here to check them out. I’m going to be posting them over a number of days so check out the flickr app on the left side to see if there is anything new there.
This friendly little guy is a tortoise in the Darwin exhibit that was hosted at the Royal Ontario Museum.
Iron Man – wow!
Just saw “Iron Man“. Now *that’s* the way a super-hero movie is supposed to be done. A little funny, stretch reality a bit and use top-notch actors and special effects.
When I saw the 2003 version of “Hulk” I thought, “Uh oh… I hope this doesn’t mean all sci fi will flush plot and plausibility down down the toilet like this.”. Unfortunately a lot of movies seemed to follow that path and I found much of the comics to movie genre not that palatable. I’ve never been much of a superhero comic kind of guy so often my first exposure to these are through their Hollywood movies. Dismal examples include “The Fantastic 4”, “Hulk”, “Transformers” – all of which, had I been an afficionado from days gone by, I might have been able to overlook the terrible character development and flimsy plots due to nostalgia. But without that background I found the movies terribly lacking in depth and plausibility (and I’m really not that hard to please that way).
Movies that got it right include “X-Men”, “Batman Begins”, maybe “Superman” and now “Iron Man”.
As a side note I have to say Robert Downey Jr. *really* carries this move. His is an understated presence that just fills ths screen.
Gwyneth Paltrow seems under used, but I am imagining that this is to do with how the character she is portraying is represented in the comic books?
