Granted the images are not the greatest but I see a lot of Captain Scarlet (left) in the World Hockey Championship 2004 logo (right). Captain Scarlet? Captain Canada? Never to die? Clearly a subliminal message being set up. • Update: We beat a very good side from Finland 3-2. Their tying goal at …

There are weeks in the calander I can pretty much guess the bugs get into the house - the first thaw, whenever I plan a winter holiday and right after school begins. Things done: • Found 1240 WATN AM Watertown which seems to be an unaffilliated talk station with the Mayor of Watertown as noon …

Amazing Race

Watching tonight's Amazing Race it is amazing how conditioned I have become to the premise of a reality show that we are watching for the worst of human behaviour to come out. No one appears now with six teams left to consider that it is a game. Like Survivor, they are obsessed, they are mean and …

High school. In someone's parents' living room and the Stones are on SNL. Keith and Mick kiss and Charlie is the metronome. God love the only Stone that isn't a freak.
How and Why Revisited

...as in this is how I know pop culture has twisted my brain and why the internet has made me a sad pathetic shell of a man: • I read the BBC story about explosions in the Uzbek capital, Tashkent, killing at least two. • A voice in my head says "Uzbeks! Don't give them string or matches …
