It was a cute little movie with some very interesting creature design. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I&#8217;m not a better person because I&#8217;ve seen it. Still not sure on the historical accuracy of it; apparently all mature vikings are Scottish and young vikings are either Spanish or American&#8230; something strange must happen at puberty. Overall, a very enjoyable film which I would recommend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/22Bullets.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-170\" title=\"22 Bullets\" src=\"http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/22Bullets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/22Bullets.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/22Bullets-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>L&#8217;Immortel (22 Bullets)<\/strong><br \/>\nA French film produced by Luc Besson staring Jean Reno, I was expecting a little more action. A revenge film about a mob boss in Marseilles shot 22 times by rivals and the revenge he enacts upon those who wronged him. It&#8217;s a good film, but can move slowly at times. I did enjoy it, but I wouldn&#8217;t watch it again. See it if you&#8217;re a fan of Jean Reno.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_171\" style=\"width: 314px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/Resident-Evil-Afterlife.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-171\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-171\" title=\"Resident Evil: Afterlife\" src=\"http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/Resident-Evil-Afterlife.jpg\" alt=\"Bad.

Not even pretty crap. Just stupid. I liked the first one in this series, but they&#8217;ve just gotten worse and worse as it progresses. They make money though, so I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll see more. Don&#8217;t waste your time, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise and Diet<\/strong><br \/>\nAs we&#8217;ve come in to the fall here, I&#8217;ve decided I want to increase my strength over the winter months, probably until March, and then slim down again for next summer. In order to do that, I need to put on some muscle, which means putting on weight, which means increasing my daily calories.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve switched all of my No-Fat and Low-Fat products to 2% or 3.5% versions and upped my calories to about 3400 per day. It&#8217;s a lot of food, but I&#8217;m not having any trouble yet.<br \/>\nRight now I&#8217;m at 167lbs and I&#8217;d LIKE to hit 180lbs by Christmas (which I think is reasonable). That is without gaining to much fat.<br \/>\nThe squat goal is 200lbs by my birthday.<br \/>\nWe shall see.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m having some flexibility issues with my squat, but I&#8217;ve got a stretch now which seems to be helping. I&#8217;ve just got to remember to do it every day and try to hold it for at least 2 minutes. But I figure if I&#8217;m not going deep on the squats, I&#8217;m just wasting my time. I&#8217;ve added in the leg-press along with leg-extension and hamstring-curls to try to up my leg strength as quickly as possible. Probably stop those within the next month or so if I plateau.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HTPC Storage Space<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m running seriously low on storage space for the HTPC. I think I&#8217;m going to pick up a storage bay <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newegg.ca\/Product\/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132015\">Rosewill RSV-S5 SATA 3G 3.5&#8243; HDD 5-Bay<\/a>. I&#8217;m going to try to hold off till after my birthday though. That, with 5 2TB drives, would give me 9.09TB of storage space with a backup in case of drive failure. Should last me at least a few months. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/hots.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172\" title=\"Heart of the Swarm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/hots.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/hots.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.netbug.net\/blognetbug2\/wp-content\/uploads\/hots-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>StarCraft 2 &#8211; Heart of the Swarm<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to Kotaku, apparently Heart of the Swarm, the next chapter in the StarCraft 2 story is, at minimum, <a href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/5658610\/starcraft-iis-next-episode-still-a-good-18-months-out\">18 months from store shelves<\/a>. This means that it will be over 3 years, at the current rate, before we finish the SC2 story. As a single-player-preferred gamer, that&#8217;s a REALLY long wait to see what happens. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p><strong>Damn Cold<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s only October 12th, 11 degrees Celsius, and already I&#8217;m ready for spring. I really don&#8217;t know why I still live in this country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rogers Stock<\/strong><br \/>\nRogers stock, after a LONG period hovering between $35 and $38 has finally passed $40. Now the question is, do I want to sell some? If so, how much? And where do I put it if I get it out? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.holypotato.com\">Potato<\/a> is wise in his suggestion to not have all eggs in one basket, but right now that basket is producing some mighty fine eggs.
