I have two screener passes to the movie the Internship that is happening tomorrow (Thursday) night at Cineplex Odeon Theatres Westhills Cinemas in Calgary.

I love free stuff. Who doesn’t, right? But I’ve moved 4 times in the past couple of years, and packing and unpacking is a pain in the a**, so I am consciously trying to reduce the number of possessions I have. But it ALWAYS seems like a good idea at the time; I can always [...]
