I never realised how the Netflix interface of rows of similar-themed movies mimics the layout of an old-fashioned video store. (Also note, this was around Grey Cup time and Pace was sporting a Riders jacket *and* green hair!)

Music Monday – “They’re lining up the prisoners and/The guards are taking aim/I struggled with some demons/They were middle-class and tame”

Sandos Caracol All-Inclusive Resort, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Sandos Caracol is the name of the resort we’ve booked for our hot holiday this winter. We’re pretty excited – as one review I read online observed: “One of the best things about this resort is that it has all the things you’d normally pay extra for as excursions or at least for an extra […]
Debate Sensation, Ken Bone, on Jimmy Kimmel
It’s so funny how things go viral in our Internet age – sometimes it’s intentional, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s mean, sometimes it’s fun. And sometimes it starts mean but has redemption. But in this case, it’s great that Ken Bone, who became an Internet sensation after asking a question at Sunday night’s Presidential debate, and […]
Music Monday – “What am I gonna do?/I can’t survive on my Amerika/If the worst is true/Is it just a waste of time?”
Dedicated to last night’s US Presidential Debate…
Friday Fun Link – An Exchange I Never Thought I’d Hear on CNN

People are observing that instead of an “October Surprise”, Donald Trump appears to have an “October Advent Calendar” with a shocking new revelation or error every single day. Today’s video of him making crude comments about cheating on his wife, an actress he’s about to meet, and […]
Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys working at the pumps/And they’d grow up and fall in love/And they’d all move away.”
Here’s one of the songs I taped at the Fred Eaglesmith show on Saturday night (which just happens to be one of my favourite Fred Eaglesmith songs of all-time.) “White Rose” – Fred Eaglesmith Actually, speaking of my favourite Fred songs, why not turn this post into a list? Jason’s Top 10 Fred Eaglesmith Songs 1. […]
Sights & Sounds from the New #MosaicStadium Test Game #yqr
Here’s a follow-up to yesterday’s post about the new Mosaic Stadium with some video footage of the day from CJME NewsTalk 980…
Friday Fun Link – Dancing at the end of @officialRPL 50th Anniversary “Retro” Party
After originally being posted by Shea to Facebook (which means I have plausible deniablility but also that not everyone could view it since she didn’t make it public), this video has taken on a bit of legendary status. I’m getting all these cryptic e-mails from other people at RPL (and even beyond) that say “Hey, […]
Music Monday – “Honey, I know, I know I know/Times are changing/It’s time we all reach out/For something new, that means you too”
Some say that the mark of a great song is that you can re-work it into a different style of music and it’s just as powerful. This is a good example of that theory in practice… “Purple Rain” (Bluegrass cover) – Leroy Justice
