“Good night and good luck…”

The indignation!  The verbosity!  The innocence of his Miss Precious Perfect!

Ben Affleck as K.O.  Take it away…

As an Olbermann fan, I say… fab-u-lous.

Thoughts while on a bike at the gym

Thoughts while on a bike at the gym

I downloaded the wordpress so for my iphone the other day sobi thought I’d give it the ultimate torture test – writing a posting while on the bike at the gym.

Lately, I’ve been bringing my iPhone in to the gym more and more during my cardio for the benefit of extra music to listen to (compared to my Shuffle that I use while doing weights), and to watch videos like Diggnation. But I rarely surf or text because both hands are often on the treadmill or the elliptical.

So far – impressed with the performance of the Wordpress app. No formatting options, but I’ll survive

ADD moment : BC just lost! Home playoff game for the Riders! (Ok… Like I care. But still, home playoff game = good radio!)

Speaking of riders. Riding. Anowbpaes. (That was supposed to be ‘Snowboards’…) In case you don’t read my tweets or Facebook, I’m going snowboarding at Sunshine this month. Or at least I’m supposed to be. Called the hill today to book my package, and they’re unsure if they’ll have enough snow to open in 9 days from now. So, I might have to plan to go during my last week of holidays instead of the first week. Need to book soon, regardless.

Gym Talk time is 15:20.

In other randomness… I recently signed up for Movie Central again. For those who knew me as a kid, you’ll never believe this, but I don’t watch a lot of tv anymore. Except in winter. And Saskatoon winters are effing cold.

The upside to Movie Central now is the new HBO Canada channel, which has all my face HBO shows in one place. Boo-urns to Shaw, though, for not getting the program guide working properly at launch, causing me to miss the first 5 episodes of this season’s Entourage. Grr.

Well, by the look of the timer on the bike, by time here is done. Laterz.

Poor Michael.

It seems every time he finds love, he gets screwed in the end.

The first time, it was by that she-devil Jan.

Now, the braintrust at Dunder Mifflin move his Holly 7 hours away after learning the two of them were dating.

This guy just can’t catch a break!

It’s not every day you walk around the corner at the radio station and the guy who has made “Make it Right” and “It’s all coming down” famous words in cable television is just stitting there chillin’, rockin’ a cup of radio station coffee.

I’ve never been one of those guys who hunt down the famous people who come through our halls for a picture… but when it comes to this guy, I had to be a fan!

You can hear his hour on today’s John Gormley Live by clicking here.

And… the blogging resumes.

After a hiatus on this domain for the last… oh… couple of years… I’m finally getting my butt back in to gear and am starting to blog again.

As some of you may know, I keep a blog as part of my work with News Talk Radio.  Some of the type of stuff you see there, you’ll see here.  Some of the stuff you’ll never see there you’ll see here.  It’s really an effort for me to continue the conversation in a new domain in addition to everything else I’m doing that keeps me a busy guy these days.

And with that… let the blogging resume!
