I checked tsn.ca for the final score of the Leaf game this morning when I got to work. I just needed to know how badly the Leafs had lost. When I tuned in to the game last night, it was late in the first period, 2-0 for the Kings. No sooner had I set the […]

I was idly flipping through the channels tonight, awaiting the commencement of the Leafs vs. Kings game (late night start time for those of us here in Central Canada) when I noticed something unusual about the *ahem* adult programming listed by our cable service. Certain of the programs, being described as “movies” are assigned a […] In the last few days, Spouse and I have watched both the final episode of The Sopranos and the Simpsons Movie. Tomorrow night, we are planning to solve Rubik’s Cube, listen to the latest Beatles album and find out who shot J.R. Seriously, it is sometimes difficult to comprehend how I can be so woefully […] I must be the King of Beginning Projects. I have decided to pick up a new hobby over the last few weeks. I was trying to take a picture of our Christmas tree (for posterity – no doubt the Smithsonian will be calling within a week or two) three or four days before Christmas, which […] I haven’t been able to even come near the computer to think about posting for the last couple of weeks. With Christmas, travel, visiting various relatives, the schedule would have been tight. Perhaps not impossible, but tight. Add on top of all that the veritable cornucopia of televised sports available over the last few days, […] I was reminded of the passing of time the other day in an unusual way. I was in the local Canadian Tire store (kind of a giant combination hardware-automotive-gardening store, for those of you south of the border) on Saturday; in addition to doing some last minute Christmas shopping, I was getting some very […] Matthew has a discussion going on about “the scene you hate” in the movies; you know, the one that’s technically inaccurate, or logically inconsistent, or logistically impossible, or some combination of all of these. There were already over 130 comments when I checked earlier this morning (! – apparently this sort of thing strikes a […] I promised myself, when starting up this blog thingy, that I would eventually post some of the poems and lyrics I’ve written over the years. What follows are some lyrics for a song called “Wednesday” that my buddies and I were fortunate enough to record in 1994. The album went triple teflon and the rest […] From Bill Simmons’ December 14th column on, among other things, the Mitchell Report on illicit substance use in Major League Baseball: The greatest hitter and pitcher of the past 50 years both cheated to get where they were … and if that’s not enough, our all-time hits leader was a convicted felon who bet against […] |

Or at least until I want to watch another episode of Lost.
I saw a little blurb on television tonight about how the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike has taken a terrible toll on awards shows. Apparently, without writers to put together the brainless chatter that award presenters emit at a constant (and significant) rate, it is impossible to have an awards show, at least in […]
