London Eye
"It is fleshy and voracious, grown fat upon its appetite for people and for food, for goods and for drink; it consumes and it excretes, maintained within a continual state of greed and desire." This is how Peter Ackroyd, impassioned scholar of London, describes the greatest city in the world. (That’s right: the greatest. Here's a hankie, New York.)
It also sings and dances, sighs and snores, regularly drinks too much and occasionally falls over. In London Eye, Elizabeth Renzetti attempts to keep up with life in the English capital, without falling over. Too often.

Sports
James On Soccer
Welcome to James on Soccer, a blog combining information, commentary and analysis on all things bright and beautiful from the world of soccer. Okay, so not all things will be quite so bright and cheery as the soccer world never seems to operate over a 24-hour period without some sort of debatable incident that requires some honest, candid opinion. Rather than pigeon hole myself to one specific area of football I will try to make my commentaries as broad as possible. I hope you enjoy reading what I have to say, and I look forward to reading what you have to say. Please feel free to send me your comments, good and/or bad.

French Immersion
This is French Immersion, a daily blog about sports - and society - in Quebec, where the personal, the political and the athletic are often indistinguishable. The idea is to present the aerial view, peer into the darker corners of the distinct society's psyche (in a way that hopefully won't be as pretentious as that phrase sounds) and hopefully spin a few wacky and wonderful yarns on topics ranging from soccer, to short-track speed skating, to goon leagues, to the national obssession that is the Montreal Canadiens. Join in, comment, praise, denounce, Sean Gordon loves a good argument.
