The Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t won the Stanley Cup since 1967. Sorry to bring that up, but it’s an undeniable fact. They also haven’t made the playoffs since 2004, and they’ve finished at or near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and the NHL, in three of the last four seasons.

Joe Muto’s ambitious leaking of inside videos and photos from Fox News reminds me of a favourite childhood carnival game. You know the one, Whac-A-Mole, where you stand wielding a mallet waiting to smack that furry critter with all vigor once he emerges.

You are what you buy? A study conducted by researchers at San Francisco University suggests that materialistic spenders are less happy, less liked, and have less satisfaction in life. Shoot. As a trend-hunting shopaholic, this is bad news to me.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the Beatles’ first single, Love Me Do. The anniversary holds a special place in my heart because I am a huge Beatles fan and always have been.

It’s 12:58 a.m. Tonight’s party was good fun, lots of laughs, but I’m feeling a little lonely now and Facebook’s blue glow is calming. Amy is sick to death of studying, fighting continues in Syria and Jimmy is having lasagna.

49-33-3-5 – this is the all-time regular season record for the Ottawa Senators when facing the Toronto Maple Leafs. That’s a .598 winning percentage. Add to this one conference championship and one President’s Trophy win post 2000-’01 compared to Toronto’s zero and zero. Post 2000-01, the Senators have also tallied 3 division championships and appeared in the playoffs eight times (and clinched their eigth post-season trip earlier this week) – making the Stanley Cup finals once. The Leafs, during the same period of time, landed no division championships and have made the playoffs only four times – never appearing in the finals.

Remember video game rentals? I don’t know if people still do it, but as a kid, I would go down to rental stores and pick out a game for the weekend for around $3-5; far cheaper than the $50 it took to buy a game to own.
