Sabres 3, Maple Leafs 0.
Okay, i’ll admit it. I watched it. Well, most of it. Up until about the 18-minute mark. Then I just had to turn the damn thing off to avoid crying. You can have me shot for this attempt, however accidental, at proving that aspect of my running theory. Ah well, … Read the rest

Still in the website revival process, apparently.
When I opened up this site again for actual regular use for reasons beyond just collecting dust and as a place to test whatever cool new toy I happen to be considering implementing, I noticed that even though I hadn’t actually *used* the site for its originally intended purposes in … Read the rest

Popular posts (November, 2009).
On average of about once a month, I like to try and capture a snapshot of things of general interest people have been pointing to here. Mostly for my own curiosity, but also because sometimes if they find it interesting, they might not be the only ones. Since the thing’s … Read the rest

Winter drops in at home, while I’m out of the country.
Shortly after I revived this blog in its third reincarnation, we were teased with just a small sampling of wintery weather, which ended up not actually sticking around. We were well on our way to the first snow-free November I can remember having in the Ottawa valley area. Temperatures were … Read the rest

The return of the pot-smelling basement.
My apartment in Ottawa had its moments of sheer and utter amusement. Not the least of which is the lower floor that, after about midnight or so, took on a decidedly potlike quality. Usually I only happened to notice because I was, as always, up at that hour–only doing laundry … Read the rest

Maple Leafs 6, Panthers 4.
Completely by accident, I proceeded to further prove my original theory. Having been caught up with things over here, I ended up rather missing Friday’s game. And, as though daring me to try and disprove that theory, they went and took the game–albeit after scaring the hell out of just … Read the rest

Gonna miss you, Mininova.
I can tell you one thing I ended up not being thankful for when I woke up this morning after last night’s festivities. I staggered out to the computer, and went through my various news sources, coming up on this bit of disturbing news. It would appear, much to … Read the rest

Thanksgiving in a paragraph, or maybe two.
It isn’t very often the whole group of us gets together for a dinner or anything like that, so when it happens it tends to get all kinds of interesting. Tonight’s thanksgiving get together was no different. We all–Jessica, Julie, her husband, Tasha and myself–headed over to a friend and … Read the rest

Maple Leafs 4, Lightning 3.
I think I might have just discovered the secret to the Leafs winning troubles. Just tell me not to watch. They not only win then, but they do it in regulation. Something to be said for cheering your team on in weird and unusual ways, but there’s nothing like doing … Read the rest

Adam Lambert won’t appologise? Oh, for shame!
Okay, Just to set the stage here, I know not everyone’s going to like, appreciate, or even approve of what goes on on TV, particularly nowadays–that’s part of the reason I don’t actually watch TV very often anymore. But, there’s gotta be a line drawn somewhere between that and ridiculous. … Read the rest
