Weblog and Playground of Gord FynesDriving to work yesterday morning, Laurel pointed out that one of the many bars on a stretch just up the street from us was advertising for an event billed as ETOBICOKE IDOL.
Her: I guess no one would show up if they advertised it as TALENT SHOW.
Me: (smiling quietly) …..
I’m wondering how long before there’s a reality-based program in Canada on, oh, let’s say, _Battle of the Bands_. No, wait, how about _History Test Idol_?
Can I get a patent on that last one?
I guess it really shouldn’t come as a big surprise that a tryst between the ubiquitous Microsoft and Canadian ISP Sympatico were to happen.
I’m just surprised that the offspring is that ugly.
This morning, I started to half-heartedly watch the final installment in the Matrix trilogy until the boy woke up and decided to see what I was up to. Needless to say – movie: OFF. For the time-being. I don’t think it’ll be a big deal if I choose the choice that decides that my chosen choice results in the decision to not see the resolution of the revolution. Choosing, chosen, choicest.
Our friend Lisa Kannakko now has a website of her own to showcase some of her wonderful photographs. Her work has been published in mags such as This Magazine, Rolling Stone and our personal fave, The Wire.
Tell her we said “hi.”
Again with the new features.
As you can see to your right, there’s now the obligatory search feature, just in case you’re looking for an article with some particular name, word, phrase or what have you, that I may have posted about. Keep in mind, this only applies to articles since about early May when I started using this really cool content management system. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
By the way, if you haven’t yet seen anything of Steve Coogan’s alter-ego Alan Partridge, I highly recommend searching out anything you can find with whatever means at your disposal. I had to stop the _tape_ (not available as a Region 1 DVD yet) once or twice due to intense laughter which took over a few of the senses. Thanks to Consolation Champs for the reminder to get out there and find this stuff.
Now, if you don’t mind, the last Stella Artois in the fridge is calling.
UPDATE: Yet another new feature, providing your browser supports it. The underlined letters in the navigation menu up top represent the access key for that particular page. For Mac users, it’s CONTROL + access key; PC users, I believe it’s ALT + access key.
If you could be so kind as to let me know what platform and browser you’re using and how the navigation menu looks for ya, that would be just super. Thanks.
