I haven't been my usual perky self these past couple of days, and my walks have suffered. I'm in that grey zone between not feeling 100% and not feeling sick enough to actually miss any work or a run or whatever. Here are the runs/walks I fit in over
flickrSLiDR allows you to easily embed the classic flickr slideshows on your website or blog. I thought I'd give it a whirl, just to see how she looks and behaves. This is just some stuff I've collected over the years.
Last night's game five is the first piece of Super Series action I've taken in. We were dominant, beating Russia 8-1. It was pretty awesome, and those jerseys looked as sharp as ever. We've clinched the eight-game junior hockey showdown with three games remaining, but that's no longer enough for
I'm a LeafsTV subscriber, so it's no skin off my back, but twenty games is a big chunk of the season. LeafsTV will broadcast eight pre-season games in addition to the 20 regular season games they have. CBC, Sportsnet and TSN will split up the remaining games. I caved when
I share an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday. You have seven days to grab this week's MP3. Please right-click your mouse and select "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun Here's the new Eddie
Jerry Lewis is still doing that Labor Day telethon thing and yesterday he slipped and uttered the word "faggot". We all remember what befell Isaiah Washington of "Grey's Anatomy" after he used the same expression. I don't think I've ever used the word, but I remember shit hitting the fan
The Waterloo Warriors beat the University of Toronto Varsity Blues 42-17 yesterday. That was the University of Toronto's 42nd loss in a row, only five away from York's CIAU record for consecutive losses. You're not going to believe this, but this team used to be good. In fact, I was
Last month I shook on The Mark Bell Bet. My brother said Mark Bell would score 20 goals for the Leafs next season and I said no way. We've got $50 on the line. I closed that entry by suggesting it was a kin to taking candy from a baby.
As sad as it is to admit this, I'm getting used to hearing my favourite tunes exploited to sell products. For a long time I had a serious issue with this and bitched every time an artist sold out. Now I'm okay with it so long as it's a fairly
I just read that Toronto's Boonaa Mohammed finished third at the 5th Annual Toronto International Poetry Slam (TIPS). I took note because the cats name is Boonaa, which sounds a lot like Booner, my long-time nickname. His debut album is even called Boonaafied. Here's a taste of what Boonaa is
Every once in a while I get an email from someone wondering how they can download the MP3s listed here. Arnaz just asked that question so I thought I'd spell it out for everyone. For fun, I maintain a list of the 1600+ albums in my personal MP3 collection. As
Running with Scissors: ? out of 10. The reason I haven't given this film a score is that I fell asleep about half way through it. Before I dozed off I remember thinking it was just like The Royal Tenenbaums without the wit and comedic elements. When I'm enjoying a film,
Since I worked at the CNE for three years in the late 80s and early 90s, I've only been to the CNE once. I think I simply overdosed on the place, having walked that midway 60 days in a row. Taryn and I went once about ten years ago and
Where did the last twelve hours go? Oh yeah, I had my 10k running clinic at 9:15 and we ran 8k along the lake shore. On a clear sunny day like today, you can't imagine how awesome that was. Then I raced over to a friends house to help
These are the top searches that referred people to this site in August of 2007. It's strange not seeing "wedding playlist" on this list. I guess the wedding planning goes into a slower gear in August. I just Googled it and I'm still #1. The debut of "mike boon" and
"You don't win friends with salad."
The Heart of the Game: 7 out of 10. I hadn't heard much about this documentary about a Seattle high school girls' basketball team, but when it showed up on TMN I decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did. The story unravels in such a way that
Michael Jackson was 65. He was a leading world beer critic who praised the brews of Belgium and was known as The Beer Hunter.
It's hard to believe an entire decade has elapsed since Princess Diana's death. I remember that night well. Taryn and I were watching the coverage of her car crash on tv in the bachelor apartment we were renting at Charles Street and Yonge. I fully appreciated the significance of the
My favourite John C. Reilly movies MagnoliaBoogie NightsWhat's Eating Gilbert GrapeThe Perfect StormThe Hours
Coach Carter made sure I had the MP3 of Eddie Vedder's solo song from the Into The Wild soundtrack. As I was listening to it for the first time, I realized it wasn't an Eddie original but a song I had heard many times on local radio stations. It was
I love Star Wars. I love The Simpsons. Therefore, I love this fan-made mash-up of The Simpsons Star Wars. It's Logic 101.
The people who market The Office seem to get it. They know how to please their target audience, and that's with little tid bit videos on YouTube. There's nothing ground breaking in this promo, but it's still fun to hear from the characters and get a little bonus insight into
We all remember the crap storm that brewed last November when O.J. Simpson was set to release his book "If I Did It". HarperCollins pulled the book and over the summer a federal bankruptcy judge awarded rights to the book to Ronald Goldman's family to help satisfy a $38
Leafs GM John Ferguson Jr. is making waves with this quote. "We could be interested in Peter Forsberg if conditions are right."If Peter Forsberg becomes a Leafs, and that's still a pretty big "if", he could be a part of the new Swedish MAP Line: Mats Sundin, Alex Steen
