Some people might want to smack me, but winter doesn’t bother me that much. When February comes around, I become stupidly optimistic in the face of sub-zero temperatures, for the sole reason that there’s more sun and the days begin feeling longer. March snowstorms? It’s milder, the snow is softer, and it melts like cream [...]

What the hell is wrong with people?  Have the majority of people in the world been raised by a pack of wolves?

Today I got up, got showered, got dressed, got in my car and got going to work.  Along the way, I was cut off, not once, not twice but three times.  The third [...]

This week I’ve had several “is that a joke?” moments.  I realized that each of them boiled down to the same question.  See, I’ve been in positions where I’ve had to hire people.  I’ve supervised, I’ve managed.  I’ve even had to fire people.  So I know the process, the ins and outs.  My [...]

Originally, this post was about what a crappy ass week it was.

It started off with the charity of fools and just got worse as I dealt with moronic clients, and office culture hell-bent on infecting us all through a Pandemic of Idiocy(tm). Then the weather changed to a nasty -40. Plus I cut [...]

When it comes to charity, we all know that the right time to give is now. Thanksgiving and the holiday season are apt times to give, but we know that there are always people in need all year round.

Every year I give something to a variety of organizations. I give clothes, computers and money. I [...]

There was a time when, on Wednesdays, I would not go out.  People were not invited over on Wednesdays.  If someone did come by, they were unceremoniously (and without apology) kicked out by 8:55 pm.  I would not answer the phone or the door and the children were not allowed to talk.

Since May, 2009, though, Wednesdays [...]

Much to my surprise, The Kids in the Hall are back with a new series! I guess I just wasn’t paying attention to the latest entertainment news, which is just as well. The anticipation of waiting months for the première would have killed me.

For those who don’t know who they are, you may have [...]

Actually, last week’s word was fodder.  But last week, it sounded more like fobba.  I had a cold, not the swine flu, just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill cold.  Still hanging around, but definitely not as bad as last week.  I can finally meander more than 4 inches from a Kleenex box.  And I can finally [...]

It’s been awhile since we’ve talked about anything zombie related and I know you’ve all been thinking: where is that zombie related update already! Well here ya go:

Pontypool – 2009 film with the weirdest “zombie” making virus ever.
Pontypool is a small town in Northern Ontario. Our heroes, radio announcer Grant Mazzy (Stephen McHattie) [...]

Ideally, Sunday should be: Brunch, a cafe, or maybe a movie. Perhaps I’ll just laze away on the couch absently picking a guitar, staring off into space , gloriously unshowered, unshaven, and unfit for visitors. Idyllic picture, huh?

Sunday should not be spent shoulder to shoulder with zombified masses of drooling idiots, shambling through an [...]
