So, I went and saw Brave last night. Ill say this as clearly as I can: GO SEE THIS MOVIE. Especially if you are a fan of the older Disney movies. Of course the animation quality from Pixar is top notch, and Brave does not disappoint in the least. The characters look stunning and life like, the beautiful surroundings set in ancient Scotland are really breathtaking, making me want to visit it and see for myself.
The story is interesting and keeps you guessing on how they resolve the situation and the main character really takes charge and does all she can to see it through and doesn't give up even when things look their bleakest. Its like Classic Disney without songs. Thats as basic as I can get without going into spolier region and like I said, go see this movie. Sorry this is a short post, but what Im really interested in was the trailer for Wreck-It Ralph

I HAVE THE POWER!
Of Internet! It puts a big smile on my face knowing that I can use the internet all I want and pay a reasonable price for it, unlike Rogers...GRR...Rogers!
So, I thought I was going to be sneaky and sign up for internet from Rogers, which and get on their flexible plan. They started me out on 100MB for 21$ a month which was all right, but then I connected my computer and updated it and right away I passed that barrier downloading iTunes. The update for iTunes was 79MB! Right there most of my first plan was gone updating one program; the next tier was 500MB and I was quickly approaching that one too.
I investigated what I could do and get a nice even rate and good trade off between download limit and speed. Rogers sucked basically. They wanted 55$ for only 2GB a month! I was kind of shocked, but then realized that its not actual Internet that Rogers is selling; its connecting to their mobile network and using their cellular data as a internet connection. So I looked at Shaw.
Shaw wanted 55$ for 200GB a month! So long story short, I just had the Shaw guy here and he hooked up my internet, it took him less than 20 minutes and now Im surfing the web and can download what I want, unless I really push the envelope and download movies and entire seasons of Anime like crazy, but I figure if I only download a few movies here and there I should be fine.

HAHHH....
I finally have Internet again! It makes me smile knowing that I can browse sites and update my computer whenever I want to, and whats funny is I totally broke into the second tier for my plan, which is 100MB. What can be done on 100MB? Not a lot; give iTunes and update and you're done for the month. Its crazy but its working pretty well so far, Ive got an all-in-one router-modem keeping me connected to the world, and its nice feeling connected again on a real PC.
Its nice to connect through your phone, but the rendering for webpages is all wrong and it just doesnt feel right when you're browsing on a phone. With a laptop, it works really well, and now I know roughly what I can get and what I should be getting from like McDonalds. Dont get me wrong, I have internet but its all tiered off so if I use more than 500MB the price of my plan quickly jumps up and Id like to keep it under 36$ since thats the 500MB limit. Meaning no netflix, no downloading TV seasons and no anime series either. Oh well, like I said, maybe Ill have to hit McDonalds and see if I could maybe torrent that stuff. Well, I plan on making a Wally World trip here pretty quick and getting myself a broom.
Yes a broom and dustpan. Also maybe some MISC. things for around the house. We'll see.

All by my self...
Hello world, i'm still trying to figure out why being on your own in your own place is cool. Granted I don't have an internet connection, or a comfy bed to sleep in, or pots and pans to cook stuff in. hrm that's probably why this sucks at the moment, but I knew this first month was going to be rough, I just didn't know how bad it was going to be.
I could steal somebody's internet, but that's a big no no and I know where to get cheap pots and pans but i'm also looking to save a bunch of money and get my car highway road ready so I can visit my family. So I've got plans to put this all together and make it work, though it will probably start next month when I can get things to normal.

New place!
Yeah I took a bunch of pictures of my place, they are just sitting on my phone waiting to be uploaded into Facebook and my google+ account. I realize now how awesome living on your own can be! You can decide when to go to bed, if you're doing your teeth, what you're eating, its all your choice! I love it!

One Week!
Im really excited! There is only this week and then I get paid and then I move INTO MY OWN PLACE! I can hardly stand it, I know this week is going to fly by and Ive already got some essentials lined up right now, like plates, bowls, smaller plates, and forks and knives and all kinds of tupperware and laundry baskets! One of the bigger things I was missing was a bed but thats been taken care of by a air mattress. Its only temporary until I can save some money and get myself a proper bed; and I still have to save a bunch of money to go down in August and see my family. I know I can save it all and have a awesome time down there.
Im on a huge Barenaked Ladies kick at the moment. It seems thats whats on my phone right now; and all that I listen to, other than the radio on my car. But I found something interesting in my car: my older iphone. I have no idea whats on it and until I get it charged I wont really know; what kind of music or videos or anything is on that little device.
I know its been a while since I posted here, but until I get into my own place and get my own Mental Notes going again Ill tell you guys all about being single and having to cook on your own. I imagine most of the time that this blog will be more about my cooking adventures and outings rather than dedicated Mental Notes. But not get me wrong: there will be Mental Notes, this blog is not going away any time soon.

Making a Post....
Because I can! Yes, I know its a nice day out there, and thats the winds not too bad and that I should be out there walking around and exploring more of the small little spot that Im going to be leaving next month. Heh. I forgot to tell you guys that the apartment place called me back and they want my 800$ Security deposit and then I will have my own place! But it seems in my life that if something good happens then here must be bad.
I picked up the mail and found out that I owe the Government of Canada more money! Yeah! About 111 dollars more! It threw me for a loop, I know I had my taxes done and sent in, but I never thought I would have to pay them more. Oh well, it sucks but I cant let that go on for too long; then the government starts to get antsy and they will start harassing me. But on the brighter side I went to walmart and grabbed some new clothes and some underwear.
I Finally have a Mental Note guys: If you underwear has holes. get new ones! Its that simple. Honestly I wouldnt mind if they had little holes, but theses had big, huge holes and the elastics were starting to break apart, which is why I went and got the new ones.
The only problem with having a smartphone as your communication device is that it drains the battery dry and sometimes I have to charge it overnight and get it ready for the next day, or it drains during the day and I have to charge it up, which is what I need to do today.
Well, now it looks a little bit more cloudy, like its going to rain or something but Im not outside so I cant smell the air; thats a really important factor when predicting the weather is being able to smell the moisture in the air. I used to live on the west coast so I know what the smell of rain is, and most of the time, Im right and the rain will fall. I might poke my head outside and see whats going on there.
