Not just for magicians anymore.
To remove a cancerous infection, a Manitoba woman was quite literally cut in half. She was sent to the Mayo Clinic in the United States, where surgeons performed two operations to remove the tumour, half her pelvis, and a leg. At one point, Ollson’s pelvis was detached from her … Read the rest

Someone needs to use this as a wedding song. For serious.
It’s probably been done, but I’ve yet to actually see it. Damn shame, given I seriously think this is an absolutely awesome song. When I finally get around to doing the marriage thing, I may run it by the other half of the partnership. Hey, I’m already engaged–it’s about time … Read the rest

Stephen King’s being immortalized–again–with a TV series.
Only this time, it’s about an entire series of books rather than one of his stand-alones. The Dark Tower series is supposedly going to be the theme for two feature films with a TV series slapped in between them. Because, you know, I really needed another reason to get beyond … Read the rest

Because this video’s hillarious, and I’m not doing much else this morning.
Candice showed this to Jess and I while I was hanging out in Rochester last month. I only just now got around to finding, replaying, and then posting. In three words: funny. as. hell. So, uh, yeah. The below is entirely her fault. You like, thank me. You don’t like, … Read the rest

Hey, who turned on the highschool flashback?

Random thoughts I didn’t put on Twitter.
I always said I have my Twitter profile for things that wouldn’t make sense to blog about–those little thirty-second snipets of random that seem to come out of nowhere and you’ve forgotten before your blogging platform of choice is up and ready to accept them. You know the ones. Random … Read the rest

Uniquely Canadian, uniquely cool.
When folks think of Canadian music, their first thoughts are Nickleback, or Celine Dion, possibly even occasionally Bare Naked Ladies–though not so much as I’d like to see. When I mention Great Big Sea, anyone who hasn’t spent some time in eastern Canada looks at me like I’ve got 2 … Read the rest

I am renaming August to the month of Broken.
The month is just over half over, and already things have gone and decided breaking is the thing to do. It started last week, with the near breaking of my plans to return home this past weekend–plans that were changed for other reasons, which will be elabourated on once the … Read the rest

R.I.P., “series of tubes” guy.
Unless you’ve been under a rock all afternoon, you’re probably aware already that former US Senator Ted Stevens died in a plane crash in Alaska at 86 years. Now, being that I live in the great white north, beyond the whole “series of tubes” quotation, I couldn’t tell you the … Read the rest

If you have not heard Donna the Buffalo, you are broken.
So I’ve been on the US side of the border for nearly two weeks now, and busy as all get out for most of it. Part of the busy was spending the majority of this past friday evening at the Rochester public market. We were planning to check that out … Read the rest
