It's where you're going...

I'm a sucker for a good ad. They're short, sweet and if they're really good they'll strike a chord.

It took a couple of plays for this one to hit, but now I can't stop watchin' it :)

For all those of us that have gotten back up:



(FYI: the song in the background is "Ali In The Jungle" by The Hours)

Canada for Americans

From  Mike's Blog:

Then there are the show's last five minutes. Wow. You guys will love it. I know you will. I can't help but wonder if the scenes dark tones and colours are foreshadowing of what is to come. If the show does come back, Being Erica will have re-invented itself yet again. In world full of copycats, I truly believe this show is the closest thing to LOST we've seen yet. And if for some reason the show doesn't come back. I think fans will be annoyed with such a big cliffhanger, but hopefully know that Erica, just like the rest of us, will be okay.

The season finale of Being Erica airs on Tuesday night. If you are a casual fan, tonight will be the night to watch. Let's get those numbers up there!!!


SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE! So damn excited!!!!


I just watched the preview again (on the Being Erica website) and got CHILLS!

Being Erica



If you haven't watched this show, I highly suggest you give it a go! I wasn't 100% sold on it when I started watching it, but now that I'm into the 2nd season, I can't miss it.

You can watch it online HERE if you live in Canada, which is what I usually end up doing. Wednesday lunch hours have become MUCH more interesting :) . And honestly, it's not because I have a vested interest in CBC television's rating. I'm genuinely addicted to this show!

I'm not the only one, either... There have been a few great reviews out there, and Erin Karpluk (Erica) recently won a Gemini for "Best performance by an actress in a continuing lead dramatic role". Not too shabby!!!!

Plus, the eye candy is pretty damn awesome for those on both teams ;), just sayin'...

Gotta love the bad boy.

Okay, so after watching Season 2, Episode 9 of True Blood, I'm totally team Eric.

Thought you should know ;)

Hectic

There's been a lot happening (you know, like life and stuff) so I haven't been able to write up a legitimate post in the longest time. Sorry about that, dudes.

It seems every time I sit down to get my thoughts into my computer, the world revolts against me. The toddler wakes up, clothes scream to be washed, ironed, put away, my show is on, my work program un-freezes... Yadda, yadda yadda, I'm really tired today.

The other day, I was so torn in every direction, I missed lunch entirely (something I never do, cuz I mean it's LUNCH. Yanno, the FUN meal. I mean, I sometimes have to eat it at my desk, but I don't miss it ENTIRELY. Well, apparently, I DO...)

I love September er... October (Shit, it's October, isn't it?). The crisp cool air, the fall clothes, etc. I even posted about my Autumn Love last year... But it's crazy, especially when you have kids that have stuff starting in September, like swimming and gym class. At work, it's pretty crazy this time of year, too (Fall launches, etc.), so everywhere I turn it's GO GO GO!

Our PVR isn't feeling left out, either. It's been working overtime with the crazy amount of wicked programs we've been taping (how old am I? Taping? Really?). I already had my schedule full with True Blood (what a wicked, and seriously twisted, show), then Dexter started up again. Add Entourage and Californication to the mix and you'd already have too much to watch. But there's more! Being Erica is getting really good, How I Met Your Mother never fails to make me laugh, and then there's a bunch of new shows - Mercy, Flashforward, Modern Family. OMG, people, I watch way too much TV. Needless to say, some of my favs have been dropped (I'm 4 episodes behind where I should be in Entourage, and I haven't seen the new season of Californication), and I'm still not finished the 2nd Season of True Blood (and FTR, I'm hating the whole Maryanne storyline, I'm just watching to see someone kill her off... And maybe to see some more of Eric... RWAR! LOL!)

So with the TV schedule, the running to classes, the day-to-day grind, I'm seriously wiped. It's no wonder I've caught a nasty bug (and so has J, which sucks even MORE).

I'm just hoping that if I get called for an interview, (oh yeah, I didn't mention that I applied for another job, did I? It's a pretty kick-ass job... But more that later...), that they won't look at me and go "Who invited infecto?" and be all "Yeah, don't call us, we'll call you."

That would suck.

But anyhow, I must get back. It's already super late and I have a tonne more work to do before I leave so I'll post again. Hopefully sometime this month - Hey, it's the 1st, I've got a lot of time ;)

ROFL doesn't begin to describe it.

I just about pissed my pants watching this. Holy fark, what an awesome way to start a long weekend :)
