Welcome November. And short days.

The clocks turn back an hour as I write this post. That means the days get longer and we plunge into several months of darkness. Because I live in Canada this means our igloos will stop melting. It's prime renovation season because with shorter days comes cold, snow and ice and you know what that means right? 

New master bathroom in my igloo! Woot woot. It's the best time of the year for us Canadians eh. It's a boot time I get my new bathroom. 

That was my joke for today. 

In other news, I had a Lord of the Rings marathon tonight. I watched all three films, hence me calling it a marathon. The first one was on Netflix. Hey that's awesome I thought. My son was a ninja for Halloween and he played with his sword all day so I said let's watch a movie with swords in it. Of course LOTR was the first thing to come to mind. My son loves these movies. And I'm so glad because my wife hates them. If it were only the two of us I would be overruled in movie picking every time.  Thank god for children so you get to watch awesome movies eh!

 

Anyhow. Only the first movie was on Netflix. Luckily like any sane human being, I had the whole collection on dvd. So my wife was ruled out for the next 10 hours as I prepared for the night. 

I snuck out for ice cream and popcorn by the third movie because my kid's Halloween candy just wasn't cutting it anymore. 

#LOTRMARATHONPROBLEMS 

Whenever I watch LOTR I get mildly depressed because it is so epic and amazing. It makes my life seem so bland and pointless. I want to go on adventures and experience things that change your life forever. I also want to be an elf or a king. Or a hobbit. Or a wizard. 

Then I snap back to reality because let's face it. If I were living in that time I would have been one of the soldiers being stepped on by the Oliphant. Or eaten by an Orc. It wouldn't have been. Very glamorous life I am sure, I would be dead. So I continue eating my tub of ice team and finish the movies. 

Well that was the gist of my Saturday evening. I wish everyone a wonderful autumn and welcome the cold weather because if you can't beat 'em, join 'rm and the same goes with the weather.

 Winter is inevitable so let's embrace it.
