And other odd oddities. SPIKE TV has decided not. To renew Blade: The Series. This might sound silly, but Blade. Was, at times, quite a good show, completely different from what I expected, and the only thing I looked forward to on TV all this year (with the exception of The Colbert Report. And certain Charlie Rose interviews, of course). Even though the series had reasonable numbers for something on a specialty channel (1 million viewers), and received far. More favourable reviews than any of the Blade.

And other odd oddities. I have successfully relocated to Toronto for my stint at The Walrus. I don't have reliable internet access at the moment, however, so I probably won't get around to updating until Friday or whereabouts. A picture from my cross-Eastern Canada odyssey:. Posted by C. LaRoche at 23:25. Your Birthdate: November 2. You're so intuitive, it's like you have a sixth, seventh, and eighth sense.

And other odd oddities. I am no fan of mass-murdering dictators. But what in heaven's name will this. This entire Saddam vs. the Iraqi Tribunal ordeal has been such a monkey trial. I'm surprised anyone out there is standing for it. Are we to presume that, in executing Saddam, all dictators on Earth are effectively told "beware: totalitarian regimes are risky, crime-ridden endeavours"? Are we to presume that, in death, Saddam's powers of insurgency rabble-rousing against the U.S. are nullified? It cuts an...

And other odd oddities. Rumours of my demise have not, as one might expect, been greatly underrated. In fact, they are accurate; I am still very much alive. And, as you might expect, I am still very much interested in updating this blog. Unfortunately, the last month-plus has been, uh, basically, very busy. I will not go into any 19 Duncan St. details, but rest assured that:. 1 I am having a blast; and. 2 Toronto is indeed a vast, lonely place for those of us without preexisting Toronto networks. I'm a 2...

And other odd oddities. A Few Good Fonts, vol. XVII.01 (boldface). Several authors, a law prof, and an artist-in-residence wax poetic on their favourite fonts in this Slate. A few "telling" snippets:. I talked to my therapist, and she said my love of Courier stems from my childhood. Elisa Zuritsky, writer and producer of Sex and the City. It exists only on Hewlett-Packard #92286P, an obsolete font cartridge that plugs into an obsolete printer. When my printer dies, my beloved font will die as well. That ...

And other odd oddities. On the web. Charlie Rose. Perhaps the best, most-intelligent talk show on air (or the most-intelligent best talk show on the air.) has relaunched its website. And in fine fashion, might I add. Start off by checking out Charlie's one-hour sit down with George W. Bush. On the more absurd side, it seems a number of otherwise intelligent Japanese citizens have been "fleeced" literally by a pet poodle scam. Oh, and then there's this dandy. Posted by C. LaRoche at 18:29. To be fair, it'...

And other odd oddities. Photofile Vol. 99. My two-day voyage from Halifax to Toronto. Via train was long, somewhat claustrophobic, and not particularly recommended unless the idea of taking a train in Canada holds for you, as it did for me, some novelty value.
