I hate Julia Roberts. In my humble opinion, she's the most over rated actress in motion picture history. She was fairly likable in Pretty Woman, and she did a half decent job in Erin Brokovich, but that's it. Want to talk dogs? Lets talk I Love Trouble, Mary Reilly, Runaway
When Joe Nieuwendyk scored at 19:43 of the third to force overtime, Leaf commentator Joe Bowen and I screamed "Holy Mackinaw" in unison. The never-say-die Leafs had overcome a 4 minute penalty to tie the score at 2. Unfortunately this penalty carried over into the overtime period and the
The Internet has ruined "TV Talkback". "TV Talkback" is a feature that appears in the Star Week television listings that come with the Saturday Star here in Toronto. Growing up with the Toronto Star, "TV Talkback" was a great place to go every Saturday morning to learn where you recognized
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. I looked up Michael Power on a websearch and found your sight. My husband and I were students from 1980-1985...and after hearing of my sister's horrendous reunion of her high
My friend Mark reminded me that December 23rd is Festivus. For those who don't know what Festivus is, he summarized it in three easy to follow steps: "Get the pole out of the crawl space". Or go out and buy one. Remember, it should be aluminum, due to the "very

I just saw your reply, well maturity presents itself in all forms. Like handling ignorance from close minded individuals with
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. Gee, I miss T.O. I moved to Peterborough to go to uni, and I'm just not a small town girl. Anyhow the reason why I'm writing is because I found
I used to have three imaginary friends. They were named Honour, Grrr and Lion and I had no clue they were anything but real. I spent hours with them as a young child. Apparently this is quite normal and even healthy. It's part of a child's imagination that is just
I was just checking the news and I read that the Uptown theatre had collapsed. Some students from a neighbouring downtown private school are trapped in the rubble and emergency crews are searching for them now. For two years Taryn and I lived in an apartment complex at the corner
I listened to the radio from 06:20 EST to 08:00 EST this morning. I'm about to switch to MP3s (Pearl Jam's Merkinball, No Code and Live on Two Legs respectively), but before I do so I thought I'd share the details of what radio I actually listened to.
It's been a very long time since I've had to witness one of my teams on the losing end of a game. The Leafs have won eight in a row, the Raptors won their fourth in a row earlier today and the Bills won for the second week in a
As near perfect as James is, until recently he wasn't the world's greatest sleeper. When bedtime approached, he wanted two things: a bottle of milk and daddy to lie with him while he drifted away. Then, at any time between 3 and 5 in the morning, he would get out

Ho hum, another win for the Maple Leafs. What is that...eight in a row? I haven't been keeping count. Hot damn we're playing good hockey right now. The roll continues after another solid effort against a very good team. Who was that guy wearing Bryan Marchment's jersey who took
It's December. That means we're approaching the deadline for SLS10. I'm going to assume readers of this blog are familiar with SLS, or Smells Like Sour if you prefer the elongated title. For those in need of a refresher course, here's the last update. I've muddled through all the SLS
Toronto's Skyline - This is a 5.07MB Quicktime movie of the Toronto skyline. Actually, it's a 24 hour time-lapse film of the Toronto skyline. Whether you're a Torontonian or not, do yourself a favour and click this link. It really is stunning.
One of the most disturbing stories I've ever followed in the news is that of Armin Meiwes. Meiwes has confessed in court to killing and eating a willing victim, a crime for which he's currently on trial. "The Cannibal of Rotenburg" posted Internet ads using the pseudonym "Franky" to recruit

Being a Blue Jays fan is unfair. The Yankees and Red Sox have been trying to one-up each other since the baseball season ended. Boston signed Curt Schilling. The Yankees responded by signing Gary Sheffield (all but official), middle relievers Paul Quantrill and Tom Gordon and traded for Javier Vasquez.
The Canadian Alliance Party of Canada voted overwhelming in favour of merging with the Progressive Conservatives earlier today. It's looking like the Progressive Conservative Party will also vote to ratify the merge. The two parties will form the new Conservative Party of Canada. Although I don't like the politics of
Holiday Snowglobe - Get into the holiday spirit by shaking this virtual snowglobe. It's a good release of aggression shaking the sh*t out of these mini snow lovers. Listening to their little screams almost feels good. TGIF.

I realize I wrote about this yesterday morning, but I want to comment further on the CFNY Edge 102 morning show I heard this week. With George Stroumboulopoulos as host, it's the best show on the dial. The song selection has always been stellar, but the quick comments on each
The Maple Leafs are playing superb hockey right now. They were by far the faster, more skilled team on the ice tonight in Beantown. The Leafs have won seven games in a row for the first time in a decade and have extended their lead atop the Northeast Division to
I'm still digesting the story out of Lafayette, Louisiana about the seven year old boy who was punished for using the word "gay" in school. Apparently, the boy was asked by a classmate about his parents. The boy is being raised by lesbian partners (not that there's anything wrong with
