Everything comes down to poo
Guy love

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Scrubs is the live action Family Guy.

Sean has been bugging me about getting into Day Break for like the past week.  I finally relented after I heard that ABC cancelled the show since it meant I only had to watch a finite number of episodes.
The show is focused around Brett Hopper (played by the very tank Taye Diggs) who has been [...]

Yahoo! Sports, This is the Bobby Knight that we never see
National Post, Interest rate cuts are just around the corner

Society’s obession with being politically correct is out of hand.  Take the whole change of the ‘Merry Christmas’ greeting to ‘Happy Holidays.’  Did we really need to do this?
Being one of the people for who this change was made (i.e. a person who doesn’t celebrate Christmas), I really wish that opinion was asked before people decided what was best [...]

My boss went on vacation for the rest of the week so I [...]

In a total copout move, Time Magazine names  You ‘Person of the Year’
But look at 2006 through a different lens and you’ll see another story, one that isn’t about conflict or great men. It’s a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It’s about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the [...]

Television is my favourite medium because it only requires a 30 to 60 minute investment per sitting.  This format allows me to watch a complete episode of a show while eating, and then frees me to go and do something more productive.  During school terms, I’d say that I eat 1-2 meals each day this way.  I [...]

I can’t wait until I work full-time so I can take advantage of year-end bonuses.
Next term will be hurtin’ as I dip into my savings.

Toronto Star, Politicans vote to give themselves a raise
In a move that has sparked some public outrage, the Ontario government introduced a bill this week to increase MPPs’ base salaries by 25 per cent, to about $110,000 a year from $88,771.
I’m in favour of this mostly because it means that Ontario MPPs are going to be paid [...]
