Commercial HappinessWell, you might think that with a headline like that I am going to discuss my satisfaction upon the recent release of our new product PhoneValet Message Center. I am not going to do so. (Not because I am not satisfied, which I am, but because I have something else to write about this morning.) We decided that we needed a wedding planning book with lots of checklists. So we went out to Chapters. The whole wedding section in these stores is hilariously funny because every book is wanting to be purchased by “the bride”*.
We only saw one book which could be considered as a “groom” oriented book entitled Complete Guide for the Anxious Groom: Everything You Need to Know on They don’t even pretend. The contents of the books are full of “It is wise to consult both your family and his family on important aspects…” blah blah blah, me, me, me, blah blah blah. Anyway, we did manage to find a book that has seemingly lots of good advice, but more importantly many checklists so we can avoid forgetting to consider things. We had a good time reading (and editing) the Bride’s Wedding Planner. (Bride’s in this case referring to the magazine of the same name.) Jen only allowed us to buy this planner if I agreed to re-cover it. We also wanted to pick up a current issue of Wedding Bells Ottawa to see what’s out there in the wedding industry (damn this is weird) but they were out. In the end I picked up a copy of The Walrus a new Canadian magazine which is nothing about weddings, but is great. After the Chapters experience we decided that we wanted to watch The Fifth Element, and decided we should try and buy it. So we walked over (an unheard-of method of transportation at the evil South Keys Shopping Centre) to Future Shop, where it transpired that every movie ever made was on sale. Well, every bad movie anyway. Jen being an aficianado of bad flicks, and myself being a not-unwilling partner in many cases, we quickly started stacking up some of these films. In some cases the films were, like, $8 or less on DVD. (Still way more than the cost to manufacture… grr…) The new acquisitions were, in descending order of price: Anyway, we very much enjoyed The Fifth Element again, and we have huge amounts more entertainment stored up now for the rest of the summer. * Kill Bill reference on my part was unintentional, but amusing.
