I love you Dr. Troy!

SEASON 4 OF NIP/TUCK STARTS THIS SUNDY ON CTV!!! OMG this is probably the best thing that has happened to me since I found out I was pregnant!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Nip/Tuck, and I love Dr. Christian Troy even more, like, I really do. There is something about him...I'm a married woman so I will stop myself right here, but I have to admit, I have a crush on him. Rob knows and thinks I'm a loser but I don't care.

I have been going to the CTV Web site for months hoping that they would be announcing the airing of the new season, and today my dream came true! It started playing in the US of A last Fall but Canada is slow so it's just airing now. I was about to call CTV and ask them what their problem was, why were they taking their sweet ass time to air the show. But that won't be necessary now that it's playing THIS Sunday at 10pm. Bonus, its also playing in HD on channel 801 if you have ExpressVu!!

My obsession with Dr. Troy Nip/Tuck started about a year ago when my little sister Martine introduced me to the series. She had the first season DVD set at her place one day and I asked her if it was good. She said it was and that I would get addicted. Pffff, whatever. Me? Addicted?So I borrowed it and watched Dr. Troy, I mean, the show, religiously. She was right, I am SO addicted. Obsessed really. it's such a good show. Sure its a little weird and some of the characters are crazy, but that's what makes it so good. And Christian, (yes, we are on a first name basis now) well, he's just perfect!

BTW - I have a link dedicated to Christian on the right-hand side of my blog, go take a peak, its worth it!

MiniDV or DVD, which one shall it be?

With a little baby girl on the way in May (man, I'm rhyming like crazy today!), Rob and I came to the conclusion that a camcorder is a must!

I say this because my grandparents had an old school one, you know, the one with no sound, practically à la Charlie Chaplin. So I've been able to see some footage of me when I was growing up. I especially like the one of me at about 18 months, waddling around naked with clementines in my hands, or me playing the piano with my grandmother at the tender age of two. Those moments truly are priceless, so I want to be able to have those same memories of my children.

So the big dilemma is, do we get a DVD or MiniDV camcorder? We are looking at 2 brands, Canon and Sony. I've read some reviews on both but I was still, if not more, confused about choosing the right one. The biggest advantage with the DVD one is that is "tapes" directly on a DVD so you don't have to download anything onto your computer to then burn it on a DVD. But on the down side, you can't rewind, tape over, etc.

With the MiniDV you can do a lot more editing, rewinding, taping over, etc. but you need to download your footage onto your computer if you want to make a DVD. And to do that you have to buy some hardware, which costs about 100$. But the MiniDV is a little cheaper than the DVD so you don't really pay an extra 100$, more like 50$ maybe.

Do any of you have a DVD or MiniDV camcorder? Do you know where I can get some really good information?

My First Time

Well, it happened. Yesterday I broke down and cried.

I was so proud of myself for not letting my pregnancy hormones affect my mood in any way, bad or good (which isn't always easy). Sure I cried at movies and Extreme Home Make-Over, but that's the norm for me, I am a VERY sensitive person, no, seriously, I am! But at 26 weeks and 6 days in my pregnancy, I broke down in tears at the dinner table last night. And you know what? It felt GOOD!

I was bitching talking about my work situation with Rob when all of a sudden I started crying. I tried hiding it from him, but my quivering lips and cellulite looking chin gave it away. I won't go into details about what set me off because I am a mother-to-be, and mothers-to-be do not use that kind of language. Let's just say I'm not that happy in my job right now and that I wish I would never have go back to work after maternity leave. So that was my first official break-down.

Number two happened this morning. I was reading a story about a dog that was found by the Ottawa Humane Society in Gloucester somewhere. The poor dog had died from starvation/dehydration because some asshole who deserves to die, had tied the dog to a bannister in an underground parking lot and left him there for who knows how long. Honestly, if EVER I found out who that person was, I would kick the crap out of him/her. You DO NOT want to mess with a crazy hormonal animal lover - got it? And what about the people who SAW the dog tied up, why didn't they do anything about it. This could of been prevented if someone with a speck of decency would of alerted the Humane Society earlier, or given the dog some food and water, something, ANYTHING!!! I can't believe people sometimes, I really can't. There truly are some heartless shameless people out there.

So I guess now that I got the ball rolling, I will surely experience moment number 3 sometime today!

I'll keep you posted ;-)

Long gone...

I had to take down my post about celebrity look alikes. I tried fixing it but gave up before I end up throwing my computer across the room.
