Canada Wins Gold

Posted: 28th February 2010 by T.F.P. in Sports

Well, the result wasn’t quite what I was hoping for, but the game was very entertaining. Canada ended up winning the gold medal 3-2 in OT when Sidney Crosby flicked a wrist shot through Ryan Miller’s five-hole. The US was a bit sloppy on that shift, and had a chance to clear the puck out. [...]

David Geffen: “You’re So Vain”

Posted: 26th February 2010 by T.F.P. in Entertainment

You know that old song by Carly Simon? Well, the singer has refused to reveal who she had in mind when she wrote the song. Most people speculated that it was about Warren Beatty, but recently the Sun (UK) posted a clip from Simon’s upcoming new album in which she has reworked You’re So Vain. [...]

Watch horror movie for $10,000

Posted: 25th February 2010 by T.F.P. in Entertainment

I just read that an Indian movie director has issued a challenge to viewers: he will give $10,000 to the first person who can watch his film Phoonk 2 from beginning to end all alone in a theater. Ram Gopal Varma apparently thinks his movie is so scary/gory/disgusting that no one can sit through the [...]

RipStik G Caster Board

Well, this just figures. As soon as I buy my son the JD Razor kick scooter that he’d been whining for for several months, he turns around and tells me he wants a RipStik G Caster Board instead. Apparently this is the toy that all the cool kids are cruising around on these days. And [...]

Another WP Update???

Posted: 23rd February 2010 by T.F.P. in Rants

I love WordPress and all, but is anyone else tired of all the damn updates??? It seems as though there’s a new version every two or three months. Why is that? It’s not like something significant changes every single time. I’m not a developer or anything, so I don’t know all the details behind the [...]

Yay for naps!

Posted: 22nd February 2010 by T.F.P. in Check it out

I just read that taking a nap in the afternoon helps clear your mind and may boost your ability to learn. Well, I could have told you that! I’ve been an afternoon napper for about 5 years now, and I just don’t feel right if I don’t get my post-lunch snooze in. I wake up [...]

USA vs. Canada Hockey

Posted: 21st February 2010 by T.F.P. in Sports

I ordinarily don’t like the Olympics. It’s boring (curling? biathlon?) and it messes up the regular television schedule. But I am planning on watching the USA vs Canada men’s hockey game tonight at 7pm — mostly just because the matchup features four Blackhawks: Patrick Kane on Team USA, and Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, and Brent [...]
