The Swamp

Pruitt

Great start to the final season. Great. I love that they didn't try to tease us by holding off on the big Walt - Hank showdown. Much better to get that started. And great acting on both sides. We got some clear steps towards the Swamp predicted storyline of Walt's cancer returning and so he's a dea...

I thought the theory was that the Mongols brought the plague with them from Asia as they crashed across western Europe.

Is sharknado worth the download? I've read the Twitter hype about it but have a monthly download limit. I reserve that for hbo, USA and fx shows that I don't get here in Canada. But I do love campy B rated movies and I heard this was the creme de la creme of crap at the moment. Waste bandwidth or w...

Spurs nab French holding midfielder Etienne Caboue.

I have never heard of him, but clearly Scott Parker will have to be content with Carling Cup action.

My record for giving up on a book is 16 pages. C'mon! Don't leave us hanging like that! What was it? J-Pod by Douglas Coupland. Saw it at the library and vaguely remembered liking something he'd written years earlier. Barely started it and was getting irritated. Looked at the size of the book and s...

Started reading Born To Run finally. I'm about a third of the way in and I like it a lot. Overall, I have this knack for owning books and never actually bothering to read them. It's like I think I'll get to them through osmosis or something. It's funny when people look at my bookcase they make this...

It's not all that bad, it's fluff, so started last night and will probably finish at lunch today. I just find him painfully unfunny and annoying. I just read his column to do the exact opposite of what he advises. As do I. The guy has the easiest gig in sports media - being a fantasy football "...

I've had the Negro Modelo and it is pretty "meh", but the Weltenberger is fantastic!

I liked Despcable Me 2. As did I when I saw it last week.

Georges Simenon is probably my favourite author of all time. And considering the fact that he wrote 400 novels (giove or take), it is nice to know that I can keep discovering new books that he wrote.

Vick gets quite a lot of support from the media these days and is even seen as a role model by many people (including some players). If he gets that kind of support then so should Riley, as this is small potatoes compared to what Vick has been involved with... I am sure there are loads of examples ...

I think Blurred Lines is awesome. Of course, at the rate it's getting played by late July we'll all be deathly sick of it (if not already), but it's a very catchy tune, great for the summertime.

Reflexively, I feel like defending cyclists as they pollute less, are the future of our cities etc. etc...
