I watched the third-last episode of "Six Feet Under" last night. It was another exceptional hour, the perfect choice of music and ideal combination of dialogue and dramatic action. This series started off amazing and hasn't missed a beat. In fact, it seems to be picking up steam. The last
Shhhhhh! You'll wake our bats. They're enjoying a lengthy nap right now and I fear if you awake them they'll be awfully cranky. Sweet dreams batty-bat-bats. Daddy loves you.
I maintain the official Custom web site and by far the most popular piece of multimedia over there is Custom's "Hey Mister" video. The star of this video is a sweet girl named Caitlin and she was nice enough to agree to an interview. Here it is for your enjoyment.
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in iTunes and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today. Crowded House - Pineapple HeadMarcy Playground - Vampires of New YorkGoldfinger - Vintage QueenPublic Enemy - Countdown to ArmageddonBeastie Boys - 3 the Hard
Roger Clemens is an arrogant SOB but he's the best damn pitcher I've ever seen. In 1997 and 1998 Toronto Blue Jays fans like myself saw first hand how good he really is. All he did was go out and lead the American League in wins, strike outs and ERA
The passing of Peter Jennings got me thinking about The Canadian Conspiracy. The Canadian Conspiracy was a mockumentary from the mid 80s I caught on CityTV a couple of times. In a nutshell, we Canadians are infiltrating the United States of America, assuming control from within. The main players were.

Peter Jennings was 67. He was the Canadian-born broadcaster who delivered the news to Americans each night in five separate decades.
Ibrahim Ferrer was 78. He was a leading voice with the hugely popular Buena Vista Social Club of vintage Cuban performers.
"For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion. Kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself. This truth lies at the heart of the art

I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. Two are from Michelle's 1st birthday party last Sunday and two are from Marc's wedding on Saturday.
The Manchurian Candidate: 6 out of 10. Jonathan Demme has done much better work than this. This remake is really far-fetched and confused, but surprisingly better than I expected. That's not to say it's good, only that I was expecting another "The Stepford Wives".
When you've mismanaged yourself into a corner, you're forced to take a few gambles. Jason Allison is one such gamble. Although only 30 years old, Allison last played in 2002-2003 when a series of knocks to the noggin' put him on the sidelines. At one time, Allison was a premier
"I believe children are the future...which is why they must be stopped now!"
There was much drama at Fleetwood Park tonight. Down by four in the bottom half of the last inning, we clawed our way to an awesome come-from-behind victory. I hit the game tying triple and scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly. There's nothing like winning a good game
Since the Leafers made a huge splash in the free agent market yesterday signing Tie Domi, I deem this the perfect opportunity to revisit this moment, this moment and this moment. Hell, lets just revisit the entire "Tie and I" page.

Are you a Leafs fan? Are you in the mood for supreme disappointment? If you answered yes to these two questions, tab on over to this 2005 Transaction Log. Big names were signed today. Forsberg is with Philadelphia, Edmonton traded for Peca, the Islanders scored Satan, Vancouver held on to

Back in April I wrote about the poll being conducted by The Tragically Hip in celebration of their twentieth anniversary. We were asked to list our ten favourite Hip tunes so I did. Here's what I wrote that day, in alphabetical order. Ahead By A CenturyAt The Hundredth MeridianBlow At
