Joined the Dark Side

Unlike young Skywalker or Harry Potter I could no longer resist the temptation of the “dark side”. After seven months and 20 job applications (maybe more) and coming up empty with every one I received a phone call from one of the call centres in town. EEKKSS. I was asked to go [...]

I was meaning to write this back when I saw the movie but never got around to it. And in keeping with my “movie feedback” I decided to put it up now.
A couple of Wednesday’s ago we went and checked out Wedding Crashers. Great movie. There’s plenty of funny parts throughout — [...]

That’s right ladies and gents the Voltron we all grew up loving is becoming a movie. How cool is that?
You surely must remember Voltron. Here’s the basic quick rundown “Voltron featured a team of five young pilots commanding five robot lions, which could be combined to form Voltron”
Yes, it sounds similar to Power [...]

A Childhood Revelation

Out after one of my team’s slopitch games I made a shocking revelation about a childhood sitcom that I never watched because I didn’t “understand it”.
You see, the show that I didn’t watch was Pingu and it was on here on a station called TVOntario. A station that I rarely ever watched growing up [...]

It’s a Done Deal

Hockey is officially back and the draft lottery just happened. Sidney Crosby will more than likely become a Pittsburg Penguin next week. It’s one of the possibilities that I didn’t think of — Sidney playing with Mario. That should make for some good hockey as well. Unfortunately a Canadian team didn’t [...]

Harry Potter Shocker

It’s the plot twist no one saw coming. It’s been held in secrecy from everyone until the latest book hit store shelves then many eager readers read a shocker that they probably never thought they’d ever read.
During a lengthy battle with Voldemort, one in which Harry loses his right hand the shock heard around [...]

Boom Goes the Dynamite

I caught the ending to a segment on the Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday night. I guess the story was it was a “show and tell” by audience members. The show was a repeat from earlier in the year but the first time I’ve seen it so my “reporting” on this [...]

Hip Hop Hockey Hooray

Well now I’ve been watching TV, mostly TSN as well as Sportsnet and any other sports recap that I see talking about the end of the NHL lockout. I’ve been more focussing now on where players “might” end up. It’s like I’m already thinking strategy for the pool.
Then I saw the numbers for [...]

I think I lucked out and checked TSN just as the story broke. Pending ratification (a vote by the players for approval as well as the governors) the deal is done, the ratification is schedule to take place next week. All of this will lead into some interesting times.
Players are going to be [...]
