Perhaps Mikael Tellqvist isn't our NHL goalie of the future. Perhaps it's Jean-Sebastien Aubin. Aubin has been awesome since coming over in a trade with Pittsburgh and last night he stopped 47 shots to lead the St. John's Maple Leafs to a 3-2 win over the Grand Rapids Griffins. That's

I totally dig the first two singles from The Marble Index' debut album. They have a great sound my ears love. I'm still surprised they're from Hamilton. "Not So Bright" is their awesome second single and I've been listening to it quite a bit lately. Every time I hear it,
I wrote The Long Range Psyche Out earlier in the week after seeing on the five day forecast that it was going to be 16°C today. We had been burned by these overly optimistic forecasts before and I was going to hold the meteorologists accountable this time. It's currently
If you told me I could have any food in the world for dinner tonight, I'd ask for a hot fresh pepperoni pizza. I love pizza and I've sampled a slice from many of Toronto's pizza vendors. With decades of pizza eating experience under my belt (quite literally), I'm ready

I'm worried. My friends from Springfield, USA have been missing for weeks now. I haven't seen a new episode of "The Simpsons" since December 12th, 2004. By my count, we've only seen five new episodes this season and it's already the middle of January. This is most unusual and I'm

McShuarma Commercial - McDonalds has an amazing ad campaign currently airing in Isreal. It's a dead-on spoof of the "royale with cheese" sequence between Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction. The impersonations of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson are perfect. This is actually a McDonald's commercial I
