I. LOVE. THIS. SONG.

Hearts of the Month: February 2012

PERSON - Kevin Smith
Smodcasts, (most of) his movies, live "Evening With" shows, playing street hockey... I could watch him do pretty much anything (and have done all of the above). I loved that at the beginning of February he broadcast his show "Kevin Smith: Live from Behind" from Toronto live to Cineplex theatres all over the country. He is just all kinds of fantastic and I am super excited to be seeing him live for the 3 (or is it 4th?) time this summer!


COMPANY - ThinkGeek
They have the most incredible customer service team I have ever come across. I had some shipping issues early in the month and they cleared it up quickly and beyond generously. I have never had a bad experience with them.


QUOTE - Won-Ton Jim
My sister was attempting to sing "The Saga Begins" by Weird Al and when it came time for her to say "Qui-Gon Jinn" she said "Won-Ton Jim". I am still laughing about it and this was weeks ago.


THING - Costume Parties
I have 2 costume parties a year, one about every six months. In the winter, for the Oscars and in the summer for my birthday. Call me a loser if you like but I just can't help but love a good theme party!

Hearts of the Month: January 2012

The first of each month (in this case, being backdated and hoping no one notices) I have decided to share with you a few of my favourite things that I have come across in the month previous. It could be ANYTHING, the only criteria is that I had to have loved it.

These are my hearts for January:

TV- Rhod Gilbert's Work Experience




WEB - The Traveling Red Dress Movement



ARTIST - Yayoi Kusama



VIDEO - Kristen Bell's Sloth Meltdown

I still laugh when I hear this song ever since my sister told me that a friend of her's thought the words were "You are a single mom"

Music Monday: Florence and the Machine

At 12:15am on January 1st, I declared this as my theme song for the 2012.

Festive Friday #5

So, you thought Festive Fridays were over because Christmas has passed? How wrong you were!
The last Friday of 2011 brings us to the final Festive Friday which is New Years themed. Rufus Wainwright performing "What Are You Doing New Years Eve" live with Boy George. Magical.

Festive Friday #4

It's Christmas Eve Eve! It's also Festive Friday!
Today featuring animated Jack Black and Jason Segel.

Festive Friday #3

Gah! Zooey, y u so cute??

Unfortunately, the video for the song I chose for today won't let me embed it on the blog, so please follow THIS LINK to see the live video.

Otherwise, here is the track from their album, A Very She & Him Christmas:

Festive Friday #2

It's FESTIVE FRIDAY once again.
Obviously I have to slip some Brett Domino in.
And this is my favourite Christmas song.. so it works out.

Festive Friday #1

Today I bring you my first of 5 FESTIVE FRIDAYs.

It's just does not feel like the Christmas season for me if I don't watch *Love, Actually*. If you haven't seen it, you really should. It's wonderful. It's hilarious. It warms my icy heart. It makes a single tear come from my eye.

As proof its fantasticness please enjoy Bill Nighy (♥) as Billy Mack singing (and thrusting) his festive tune at you.

World AIDS Day 2011

Today is World AIDS Day.

It's been 30 years since the first cases of AIDS were reported but unfortunately the disease is still a reality today. There are currently 34 million people living with HIV and every 16 seconds, someone around the world dies from AIDS.

And it's not just an issue in other countries. From 2005 to 2008 the number of CANADIANS living with HIV/AIDS INCREASED 14%.

There is no cure... yet.

So get tested, wrap it up, be smart, be safe and help fight for an AIDS free generation by 2015.
