"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life." -
I submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS12 consideration. I submitted "Triple Trouble" by the Beastie Boys. "Triple Trouble" is the second single from the Beastie Boys' lastest disc, To The 5 Boroughs. I'm sort of a sucker for these guys and I'm just happy to
Michelle is three weeks old and the biggest difference between her and James when he was that age is the amount of time she spends eating. Taryn guesstimates she spends about 2/3 of the day feeding her. James didn't feed nearly as often or for as long when he

I watched Road Trip on ABC last night. I first saw Road Trip in theatres and thought it was pretty damn funny. I've now seen it several times, but I still enjoy it. I was channel surfing last night, stumbled upon it and decided to see it one more time.
I just heard Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" for the one thousandth time this summer. It's one of a trifecta of 80s inspired songs that salvaged radio in the spring and summer of 2004. You heard them at every turn, they couldn't be avoided and they shouldn't be avoided. If
I've been wearing the same shoes for the past fifteen years. Ok, it's not the same pair of shoes, but the same shoe. Black, three-hole Doc Martens with yellow stitching. I bought my first pair at the age of fifteen and I just go out and buy a new pair
My Toronto Blue Jays were beat by the Boston Red Sox 6-4 last night. That gave the Sox the three-game sweep and dropped the Jays to a season-high 23 games under .500. We're now 49-72 and have lost 13 of our past 15 games. I've been a huge Blue Jays
Maybe you've heard the advertisements for Going The Distance on the radio this week. It's a Road Trip-like movie except the exciting destination is the capital of the universe, sweet home Toronto. Specifically, the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto. That's right, three dudes from the West Coast graduate and take
In addition to their Thursday 30 countdown, CFNY Edge 102 maintains a list of "Other Tunes". I was just perusing this list when I saw there's a new tune from Seven Mary Three there. Seven Mary Three is one of those bands that had a cool single that was followed

It's day five of the Summer Olympics and the most recognizable Canadian participant thus far is Ron Bensimhon. Bensimhon sported a blue tutu and jumped into the Olympic Aquatic Centre pool during the men's synchronized three-metre springboard event on Monday. He was arrested on charges of "interrupting the Games". This
Canada has earned it's first medal of these Olympic games. Divers Emilie Heymans and Blythe Hartley won bronze in women's synchronized diving.
I won't be posting for a little bit, so try not to miss me too much. I'll be back some time on Tuesday. In the interim, visit the Archives and read what you missed.
I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. There's one taken last Sunday of James and a few taken this afternoon of Michelle and James.
It was one year ago today. I was on vacation and had stopped at my mom's to help her with her computer when the lights went off. There was some construction taking place a block away, so I assumed it was localized and a result of something happening at that

I was doing some work around the house earlier today when I heard a knock at the door. I wasn't expecting anyone, so I probably should have ignored it, but I ended up dropping what I was doing to open the door. Two well dressed young women wanted to talk
Earlier this week, I mentioned I was in the office PGA Championship pool. I selected the trio of Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Ernie Els in the hopes that my threesome would shoot a lower score than anyone elses threesome. Things looked really bad after Thursday because Tiger Woods shot
