Golden Globes 2006: The nominations - The nominations for the 2006 Golden Globe Awards for film and TV productions have been announced in Hollywood. Here are the nominees in selected categories.
Stanley Tookie Williams was 51. He was the Crips gang co-founder whose case stirred a national debate about capital punishment versus the possibility of redemption. He became an anti-gang activist while on California's Death Row, renouncing his gang affiliation, apologizing for the Crips' founding, and co-authoring books and beginning programs
That was a much better effort last night and the Leafs were rewarded with a badly needed two points. Mikael Tellqvist got the start and played well, meaning Ed Belfour stays stuck at 447 victories, tied with Terry Sawchuk for second on the all-time list. We don't play again until
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 with a personal story about one of them. Open Your Eyes - GoldfingerThe Beating Of A High School Bus Driver - Adam SandlerBull In
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. And a little story from me that is only vaguely related to your post. I'm a Canadian living in Manchester UK and I'm often asked "What part of America are you
When Americans travel in Europe, do they really stitch a Canadian flag into their back pack and pose as Canucks? I've often heard about this and yesterday on "The Simpsons" Lisa did just that before their trip to Italy. Is this practice merely an urban legend or does it actually
The Indianapolis Colts are 13-0. They've also secured home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. They now face a decision that's the water cooler talk across this continent this morning. Do they rest their stars in preparation for the playoffs or do they play to match the 1972 Miami Dolphins who are
Last December I unveiled my definitive Christmas mix. This year I created a 247 song Christmas playlist and quickly got tired of skipping over the songs I didn't feel like hearing. My solution to this problem was to create a second Christmas playlist consisting only of the tunes I feel

"Pulp Fiction" is my favourite movie of all time. It's a multi-layered gem of a flick with great dialogue, a fantastic editing style and one memorable scene after another. One of my favourite scenes is when Jules and Vincent pay a visit to Marvin, Roger and Brett. Jules and Vincent
Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia. We've got all this space but only 30 million or so people. There's a lot of room to spare. Have you ever wondered what a map of the world would look like if all countries were sized by population?
Are We There Yet?: 2 out of 10. Following a frustrating Leafs loss we decided to watch "Are We There Yet?". I was a big Ice Cube fan from his days with NWA and as a solo artist and I've never forgotten his role in "Boyz n the Hood". How
There have been many frustrating losses of late, but none more frustrating than the one last night. I spewed a string of expletives at the poor television and joined the crowd at the ACC in booing our boys in blue. The Leafs went 0-for-7 on the power play and are
"Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something." - Thomas Edison
A Bunch Of Intros Mashed Up - I'm enjoying this. It's an MP3 of a mash-up that's essentially a whole bunch of well known song intros mixed together.
Richard Pryor was 65. He was the caustic yet perceptive actor-comedian who lived dangerously close to the edge both on stage and off.
I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. We put up the Christmas tree today and a couple are of James managing the decorations. The other two are a couple of cuties of Michelle taken over the past week.
It looks as if Green Day's "Jesus of Suburbia", the second track from their 2004 American Idiot release, will appear on SLS14. At 9:08 it will be the longest song in the history of SLS. It's an epic with several twists and turns. In the spirit of Meatloaf's "Paradise
"And if you get kicked out of that one, you're going straight in the army, where you'll be sent straight to America's latest military quagmire. Where will it be? North Korea? Iran? Anything's possible with Commander Cuckoo-Bananas in charge."
The World Cup draw took place today. I don't care about soccer, but the World Cup transcends the sport and even I pay attention. To make things interesting, however, I must have a rooting interest. My go-to team, obviously, is Canada. Canada hasn't qualified for the World Cup in twenty
The Jays have been busy beavers lately, making quite the off season splash. The sports headlines around these parts are full of letters. There's J.P., B.J., A.J. and O.K. Earlier this week, we traded outfielder Gabe Gross and pitchers Dave Bush and Zach Jackson to Milwaukee
Make A Snowman - Go ahead. Make a snowman.
My favourite Snow songs 15 Feet of Pure White Snow - Nick Cave and the Bad SeedsLet It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! - Dean MartinWhat The Snowman Learned About Love - StarsSnowsuit Sound - SloanBy-Tor And The Snow Dog - Rush
While we slept last night, it snowed in Toronto. That meant a morning of shoveling and slower-than-normal traffic. Creeping along a highway can be hell, but I didn't mind. I was enjoying the Howard Stern radio show. I've got five more mornings of this and then I'm S.O.L.
