The Grenadier Renegade: January 2006
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2006. I have no idea if I spelled that word correctly. Lots of stuff occurred in the past week, hence my blog hiatus. 2 One of the creepier Law and Order: SVU episodes ever aired on Tuesday night. With that show, that's saying something. There was kidnapping, child porn, fancy-schmanz surveillance equipment and a live burial. Plus, it had Mariska Hargitay in a wicked-cool dress. Colour me entertained! 3 I had a fantastic dinner at a Peruvian restaurant on St. Clair West. It was the th...

The Grenadier Renegade: October 2005
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2005. Ooooh, my ovaries! There are many reasons to love living in an affluent neighbourhood full of young, attractive, upwardly-mobile families. It's safe, the lawns are well cared for, and there's always a good chance the man in front of you on the sidewalk is carrying a Snugli on his chest. Little pumpkins and princesses and a hilarious wee brick of Swiss cheese! Posted by D. at 11:31 PM. Sunday, October 30, 2005. You sons of a motherless goat! To all you sexy scary sods who turned ...

The Grenadier Renegade: February 2006
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2006. I Khaaaan't stop making puns about the Mongolian Grill! Little of consequence to report on, which, as Leah McLaren reminds me in Saturday's Globe, is typical of the bitter, sloppy, immature genre to which I apparently belong. Note to Leah: if you want bloggers to stop snarking on you, don't write crap like that. Or just stop writing altogether. Either would be fine by me. It's at once the most captivating and nauseating thing I watch on television. Posted by D. at 8:31 PM.

The Grenadier Renegade: April 2006
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 30, 2006. It's a sweet day around here, dear readers. Much to my smug satisfaction, my beloved Ottawa Senators quashed the Tampa Bay Lightning last night to take the series and advance to the second round - something I'd been (slightly) terrified they wouldn't be able to do, thus rendering me the victim of incessant taunting from various ignorami. But as it stands, they're 25 percent finished the trip to the Cup, and I'm pretty pleased. It seems to me that in the past few, we've gone straig...

The Grenadier Renegade: December 2005
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2005. Reasons 81 through 90 (by guest blogger extrordinaire, Boyfriend of GR). 81 I discovered podcasts, and podcasts got good. Coverville hit its 150th show; the Card Club on Lord Admiral Radio its 50th; CBC Radio 3 crossed 30. The hype that Sirius is desperately trying to generate over satellite radio highlights just how much our traditional way of understanding media has broken down. 82 Snowbird almost killed me. Twice. But I still owned Utah. 88 Quitting my job was pretty sweet.

The Grenadier Renegade: June 2006
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 29, 2006. Today I very nearly bumped into Ted Rogers in the lobby of my building. I think my net worth just went up. Posted by D. at 8:26 PM. Monday, June 26, 2006. Dear Mr. Gore: We're sorry. Signed: The World. Not to get all sanctimonious about it, but if you too have been wondering whatever happened to winter, you might want to head down to your nearest (preferably non-air-conditioned) movie house to check out An Inconvenient Truth. Narrated by Al Gore? My first oysters, ever, in life!

The Grenadier Renegade: May 2006
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 29, 2006. You pavement, me pain. Well, dear readers, we in Toronto are in the midst of a mild public transit crisis. Workers at the TTC are on strike, meaning the streets are eerily devoid of streetcars and annoyingly full of inconvenienced commuters. Gear: bike okay, shorts okay, helmet okay, t-shirt torn. Body: Ankle scraped, knees scraped, legs bruised, belly scraped (oooow! Elbow scraped, shoulder bruised, etc, etc. Psyche: pride wounded, mind fucked. A good way to start was to cover 25 o...

The Grenadier Renegade: July 2006
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 31, 2006. My MP3 player: 2006-2006. Well, there's a recent addition (unwelcome) to my list of Annoying Things to Replace. So now it's dead. Done. And now I find myself with an unbearably silent commute into work and with absolutely no one to blame but myself. I guess we ain't the Cleavers after all. Posted by D. at 3:48 PM. Tuesday, July 25, 2006. My head has been taken over by Rob Reiner. Another hair-related post delivered with sincere appreciation for your indulgence, dear readers. I cut ...

The Grenadier Renegade: November 2005
http://grenadierrenegade.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. It's Elexmas (TM Linny) Day #1, and still no campaign signs on my street! How is my vote to be influenced on my way to buy milk? In all truth, I am curious to check out the candidates in Parkdale/High Park. The current MP doesn't even live here, choosing rather the prestige of Forest Hill, which, while lovely and impressive, lacks the. Je ne sais qua. Posted by D. at 12:22 AM. Monday, November 28, 2005. As the government crumbles. It'll be interesting to see what happens....
