Weird Movies enthrall me

2008-04-08T22:52:00.001-04:00

What is this???? 2.5 Million Dollars in 1988 plus Hugh Grant plus Bram Stoker gets you this.

Color Me Badd Jr.

2008-03-25T15:32:00.001-04:00

This is worth it for Ryan Gosling alone, the dance moves synched at the end are so hotttttt if you are in to fourteen year olds (or gross, younger?).

iTunes tells me I have listened to this song over 175 times

History - The Verve

I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run from

*In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That livng is for other men*
I hope you two will understand

I've got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand

I've got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
These feelings should not be in the man

In every child, in every eye
In every sky, above my head
I hope that I know
So come with me in bed
Because it's you and me, we're history
There ain't nothing left to say
When I will get you alone

Maybe we could find a room
Where we could see what we should do
Maybe you konw it's true
Living with me is like keeping a fool

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you know that I am me so come on
I'm thinking about history
And I'm living for history
And I think you know about me
Cause I am

And one and one is two
But three is company
When you're thinking about the things you do
And you're thinking about the things you do
I want to tell you my tale
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail
I hope ypu understand there's more in a smile than in a hand
In every sky, in every kiss
There's something that I migght have missed

Why am I going to
A place that now belongs to you
But you were weak and so was I
Let's pick it up, let's even try
To live today, so why not smile
Don't dream away your life coz it is mine
Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine
The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope
I've got a skin full of dope
I've got a skin full of dope

Best Example of Bad 80's Teen Smut Films

2008-03-20T16:32:00.003-04:00

PJ and I were talking about bad teen films from the eighties, that were basically soft core porn. This one, is probably the best example I have ever seen, from the bad Blue Lagoon story rip off, to the casting of teen pinups Willie Aames and Pheobe Cates. Whoever wrote the Voice over film pitch did an amazing job of reeling me in!

Bollywood Translated!

2008-03-19T11:15:00.001-04:00

I rarely watch American Idol

2008-03-14T16:41:00.002-04:00

However, this clip from Bolivia's Music Idol is AMAZING. I have watched it constantly, and continue to send it to anyone and EVERYONE. In fact I will probably visit my own blog several times just to watch it.

Eric Bana is very likely the Perfect Man

2008-03-11T23:04:00.003-04:00

I have drooled over Eric Bana in Munich and The Other Boleyn Girl. Doing a random IMDb search, followed by a Youtube search I have learned that he is not just an extremely hot actor guy, but an extremely funny actor guy to boot!

Here are some clips from his comedy sketch show in Australia, "The Eric Bana Show." If you know me, you know that I am a total slut for sketch comedy, so you can only imagine how much these are blowing my mind.

Enjoy!

UMM and he used to do stand up too.

Totally Recommend

2008-03-06T14:22:00.002-05:00

With all the US Political Fever these days, this book is a timely read. It deals with the familial fall out of life held in office, and the apathy that comes along with following someone's bid for power. As usual Didion captures the lost-like attitude of a heroine who seems unable to take control of her own life or make any decisions about her future. Its an apt description of undiagnosed depression. My favourite character was Billy Dillon, the public relations and political advisor for husband of the book's protagonist.

Fact Checked!

2008-02-15T09:45:00.003-05:00

When I was an intern at a magazine, part of the gig was fact checking. It wasn't anything like this.

If you are looking for me

2008-02-10T13:38:00.000-05:00

You can find me at my new home, I will be living inside the bubble of fantasy that is this music video. I likely won't be reachable by phone... send me a letter.

Obsession: Joan Didion

2008-02-08T11:33:00.000-05:00

I recently read The Year of Magical Thinking, by Joan Didion. Now I am OBSESSED with her. I just started Play it as it Lays, and will read Democracy next. I think she is pretty much the coolest.

When I was younger I went through a Vanity Fair phase where I would read it cover to cover (except for that long story on Enron, only got halfway through its 40 pages, and then got confused by all the players involved). Below are some photos of Didion, cause I am OBSESSED.

Spelling

2008-02-08T11:13:00.000-05:00

Reading over anything I write, including below posts, there are three or four words that I seem to continuously miss-spell.

there/their/they're
attachment (I want to spell it attatchment, put in a "t" like in "match")
roll/role (I did this below, and seriously in like five different appearance requests)
no/know

If any Brain Doctors are reading this, could you please tell me what part of my brain I have obviously damaged, and whether playing "Brain Age" on the PSP will help?

As a Torontonian

2008-02-08T11:09:00.000-05:00

As I am now living in Toronto, I feel like I should take some responsibility and support one of my fellow Torontonians. If you hear of any good rolls for a former dreamboat. Please pass them Corey's way, he's still as cute as a puppy, a formerly lost puppy, that should maybe lay off the frosted tips, but a cute puppy none the same.

Reading a Newspaper at the Gym

2008-02-07T10:08:00.000-05:00

It really annoys me when I see people at the gym reading newspapers. Even when my hands are perfectly acclimatized, I still get ink on my fingers. So Sweaty McWorkout over their on the Bike must have that paper melting all over him, and thus melting all over the bike. I am by no means a germaphobe. But is that fun for him, sweating all over a newspaper? Seriously, I think its weird.

PS. Couldn't find a picture of newspaper cardio people, but this one is just as bizarre.

Storm Watch!

2008-02-01T16:00:00.000-05:00

I was watching the weather forecast today, and under the weatherman it read "Major Storm" and I thought, wouldn't that be an awesome name for a Weatherman? Or a Weatherman in a Porno.

Here's a picture, please note, its not of Major Storm.

More Russell Brand

2008-01-27T01:56:00.001-05:00

Yes, hi, I am officially obsessed.

Ugggg so hot in a hat.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

2008-01-25T12:01:00.000-05:00

So I am very much looking forward to the Jason Segal penned and stared in vehicle "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". You can check out the trailer on YouTube or Apple/Trailers.

The movie was filmed in Hawaii, and I was watching this cheesy clip on YouTube, which was fairly boring until Russell Brand came on. He is hilarious!

Can someone send me this book? Looks amazing.

He does stand up and had a talk show in Britain...

Hot!

5 Weeks later

2008-01-22T16:02:00.000-05:00

Haven't posted in a while... been thinking about too much stuff I guess. But now I am back and feeling like writing again.

I think this time of year people often get the Winter Blahs, you know its after the holidays, and the excitement is gone, and the Visa has arrived and its cold... I don't have this at all. I have the Winter Restlessness. I have never been one to want to get up and leave and start again. Its a hard thing to do, I have done it before. But now I am feeling restless. Maybe it was all the travel I have done lately... but somehow, Canada just isn't cutting it anymore.

Feeling Restless.

Have you ever googled your parents?

2007-12-15T00:07:00.000-05:00

Everyone Googles themselves... and likely potential love interests, or ex's, but have you ever Googled your parents? I Googled my mom a while back, only to find that there is a dog trainer in Texas and a woman on city council in Willmington, that share her name.

My father, is another matter. He is a Doctor of Geophysics. And upon Googling him I realized what a prolific writer he is on the subject. The strange thing is, I have never read any of his work. I doubt I could understand much of it anyways, but I find it incredibly odd that I don't know anything about the words he has careful committed to paper.

Thats all.

Swedish Donut Holes

2007-08-24T12:44:00.000-04:00

This is from the Swedish movie Sunes Sommar. How I came accross it is irrelevant. However, who knew that in Sweden donut holes are called something deemed racist. It was great of the Harlem Globetrotters to go and try and educate the Swedish people, they weren't just good for solving crime on Scooby Doo!

Lindsay Ames is hilarious!

2007-08-21T20:57:00.001-04:00

You can't tell in the video... but that is a thong she is wearing... the outfit is so funny in person, I can't believe she wore it!

Sunday's with cable

2007-08-12T15:30:00.001-04:00

Keke and I didnt realize we had free cable until a week ago. We have lived in our place for ten months. So sitting in and making up for lost time with The Lost Boys! The Two Corey's is amazing, thought its hard to top the good old days...

One of my favourite books

2007-08-09T21:52:00.000-04:00

James McAvoy is gorgeous. This book was gorgeous. This movie looks gorgeous.

Classic or New Romantic, but not CNR

2007-08-09T20:57:00.000-04:00

This song isn't Classic New Romantic.... I think its just New Romantic... I still haven't figured out how they classify things. Then again, I would say its a Classic. It reminds me of a fun times and having a crush...

M.I.A.

2007-08-07T11:59:00.000-04:00

I am singing this non stop...

Long weekends

2007-08-06T23:40:00.000-04:00

This long weekend was more of the same, by which I mean, AWESOME!

There was a lot of this

and this

with lots of this

and there was plenty of this

I love long weekends!

I am going to get season tickets for Toronto FC, seriously it is the most fun! I can feel my Welsh blood perk up and I can just only imagine what a whole season of cheering would do for my complexion, haha!

I can't wait for the High Line

2007-08-03T00:30:00.000-04:00

I found this when I was internet stalking my secret crush, Edward Norton. I saw him in Yorkville at the start of the summer, and he is cute. Very well spoken in interviews, and I love that he is helping out this cause- it seems like an amazing opportunity.

New concepts in fashion

2007-08-03T00:11:00.000-04:00

I remember buying the Mama Said album by Lenny Kravitz and being led to believe that all love and break ups were that emotionally tragic. I was a very naive kid who thought high school was like Sweet Valley High, too. Anyways, Lenny Kravitz clothes were very flamboyent, no wonder I liked him, he dressed like the crazy aunt I always wanted.

Anyways, the reason why this video is of importance is that back when it was released it garnered the label "Classic New Romantic" by MTV. Frankly, I think this is some sort of bullshit type of classification that MTV came up with on their own. I fucking love it. Like what the shit is "Classic New Romantic"? I am not going to rest until I find all of the videos that MTV gave this label. If you know of any others please suggest. I already know about the Jan Hammer Crockett's Theme, so move along.

Birthday Baker

2007-08-02T17:31:00.000-04:00

It was Lauren's bday party last night. So me, Nicole, and Donna made shirts to spell out her name to show our love. Each one was infused with a different inspirational mood. I think mine is sort of Ralph Lauren, Laura Ashley, eight year old girl. You know how we roll!

Sean Maestri comes to visit

2007-08-02T13:26:00.000-04:00

I have known Sean since I was about 10 (maybe earlier?). Our moms worked together so we attended company picinics and also went to Camp Southwind together. His older sister babysat me when I was younger and then later in life babysat me when I got too drunk at the bar up in Whistler, where we both lived for a time.

Sean comes out to Toronto all the time for work, and always cheers me up, mostly because he is never in a bad mood and is so happy-go-lucky. When we were in high school Sean and his friends, for their grad prank, dug a hole in the front yard of our school and put a volkswagen bus in the whole and poured in cement. It was quite a coo.

I love my bike

2007-08-01T15:59:00.000-04:00

It goes fast! Nicole's goes slowwww. ahaha!

PS. doesn't it look like I have worse extensions than Britney? Greasy sweaty summer hair will do that, blech!

Rogers Picnic

2007-08-01T15:47:00.001-04:00

This last Sunday I went to the Roger's Picnic as Keke's date. I hope my ladymate never gets a boyfriend, or my social life is screwed. We picked up Lana once there, and danced our effin pants off for The Roots- de la Soul- Lupe set at the end of the night. Then we joined a bike gang and hung out at 7 eleven. Sunday's in parks seem to be a trend lately! I love it!

Shawna is Coming

2007-07-27T15:06:00.001-04:00

August is going to be awesome! Shawna is gracing Toronto with her presence and I, for one, cannot wait!

weekends in toronto

2007-07-22T23:56:00.000-04:00

I am fighting a cold. Summer colds are the worst. I am taking Vitamin C, and today after a few hours in TB Park I have plenty of Vitamin D. As Keke and I rode our bikes to that park, she said she wished she was planning a vacation, to which I replied petulantly "I don't. Toronto is perfect right now." And I meant it. She laughed, but today she was tired, so everything I said made her laugh. I miss the Stanley Park Sea Wall sometimes, and maybe the sand of the beach, but the hot pavement and trees against brick is fine for me. As long as their is a piece of grass and a good book to read. I wish Sunday's lasted forever!

Secret Crush: James Spader

2007-07-02T22:44:00.001-04:00

Thank goodness for creepy fan's who make videos. Fans like these allow us to feel good about ourselves because we haven't resorted to making the videos, while still allowing us to enjoy the pleasures of viewing them. This one is of James Spader as Stef from Pretty In Pink. His hair alone incites lust, add to it his yahtboy attire, and swager, and well, I was a goner.

Summer Read

2007-06-28T12:30:00.000-04:00

If you are heading to a cottage, I suggest this book for your lakeside reading pleasure. Its all about wasting our youth, escaping reality in the country and by drinking and dancing, and its a bit of a love story. My favourite quote from it is this:

"The growth of intimacy is like that. First one gives off his best picture, the bright and finished product mended with bluff and falsehood and humor. Then more details are required and one paints a second portrait, and a third- before long the best lines cancel out- and the secret is exposed at last; the planes of the pictures have intermingled and given us away, and though we paint and paint we can no longer sell a picture. We must be satisfied with hoping that such fatuous accounts of ourselves as we make to our wives and children and business associates are accepted as true."

How does one get a job?

2007-06-28T11:53:00.000-04:00

I am sending my resume over to this magazine stat! Seems like they would offer decent vacation time, non?

Enjoy your long weekend! I have four days off, and am going to Walmart to buy a sprinkler...

Goodbyes

2007-06-26T13:31:00.000-04:00

It's Greg's last night at Sweaty Betty's. End of a musical/fun era! Best of luck to him!

Person of the Day

2007-06-26T00:29:00.001-04:00

Natalie Langmann, for always standing by her friends.

Natalie was randomly my roomate, though the person who brought us together is no longer in our lives, i will always be thankful to them for introducing me to her. Natalie is the rare kind of person that will laugh with you, call you on your bullshit, and do air guitar down Shale Slope. I love her with all my heart, and hope circumstances bring us back into each others daily routines again some day!

Best memory of Natalie: watching her hill climb in Brandywine, bitch is fearless!

Love you Nat!

Chubby Chines Knees

2007-06-24T20:51:00.000-04:00

There is just something so cute about chubby Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese knees! Like when they wear skirts and Uggs and all you see is chubby knee. I wish my ugly white girl knees looked half as cute.

FYI
