Tis the season to be jolly.

Tonight is the first night of chanukah and I have, so far, spent the evening 'figure skating' with my dad's side of the family... It was pretty fun, for about 10 minutes. Then I appointed myself onto photographer duty so that I had an excuse to stand still.

(To be posted soon)

I like when the festival of lights overlaps with the day of Christ's birth.  It makes for a multicultural christmas up at my aunt's farm.

I enjoy making holiday compilations to listen to on the way up to Port Perry, hometown of Emily VanCamp, but I gotta say, the chanukah songs are terrible in comparison to christmas tunes.  I think it's about time that Adam Sandler gets off his Christmas-making movie ass and writes another chanukah song...

In the meantime, here are the lyrics to Chanukah, Chanukah, the yiddish version:

Chanukah, Chanukah, chag yafe kol kach

Or Chaviv misaviv, gil l'yeled rach.

Chanukah, Chanukah, s'vivon sov sov
Sov sov sov, sov sov sov, ma na-im va-tov.

on a more important note:

T'is also my darling sister Laura's 23rd birthday.
 

What a great 23 years it has been!!!!!

it's baaaaaaack

Hamiltopia

Not sure if I've mentioned it before BUT I have a radio show with two of my best boy buds every Wednesday night from 10-11pm, called HAMILTOPIA.

It's on the McMaster radio station 93.3 cfmu, but if you're far from Hamilton, you won't get it.  which is okay because you can streamline it on the cfmu website by clicking webcast.

Some of our past guests include up and coming stars, such as:

sky stompin' to daze

singer-songwriter

yitka karlik

comedian

Manolis Zontanos

and hamilton legend,

ten years of periods

today, november 11th 2008, is not only remembrance day, but also marks my tenth anniversary of having my period.

it was on this day, 10 years ago, when i first got my period while waiting to pick up the kids that i babysat for on a biweekly basis.  

i gotta say that i loved the movie Superbad but the part when the girl gets her period blood on jonah hill's pants while she was grinding with him would never fucking happen.  you can tell that this movie was written by a man--a man who doesn't know very much about women (seth rogen).

jurassic graveyard

Author Michael Crichton died today. He was 66. Cancer.

On another sad note, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn, died two days before he won the presidential election. She was 86. Cancer.

Is it just me, or does young Obama resemble a certain strapping actor named Denzel?  Mmmmm mmmmmm....

to my dear american friends and family:

good halloweekend

Halloween was loads of fun.

my Ugly Betty costume was pretty good.

I went to visit my grandmother who laughed for five straight minutes when she saw me.

Though I went as a well-known t.v. character, 

I wasn't the only t.v. star on Friday.

I got to hang out with:

Homer Simpson (Greg Santeezy)

Hulk Hogan (Jenn Jimmy)

Jake the Snake (Andy Hixxx)

Sarah Sanderson from Hocus Pocus (Jamie Lee Murtis)

Jareth the Goblin King (je)

Charlie Chaplin (Dickson)

Sarah Palin (Terris Tay)

Bristol Palin (Lo)

And last, but certainly not least, in my opinion, the best costume of the night,

Busy Ramone of "Ready or Not" Fame,

the episode she got her period

(Dally Bob Wally)

AMAZING!!

if i ever get my hands on a picture of him in the outfit, i will provide.

c'est l'hallowe'en, c'est l'halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!

and now i will share with you my secret pumpkin seed recipe:

spend hours picking the pumpkin seeds out of the pile of shitty pumpkin insides from the pumpkin you just shittily carved:

preheat oven 350f

rinse off seeds.

put in a pan.

add: 4 tbs oil (preferably olive)

add: 5 pinches of basil

add: 4 pinches of oregano

add: 3.5 pinches of rosemary

add: 3.5 pinches of thyme

add: loads of salt

roast for at least one hour.

though, don't neglect, check every 15 minutes, until golden brown:

they're probably done.

mine weren't, they were still chewy. 

probably because i could only cook them for 40 minutes.

they were still tasty though.

probably best not to do this at 4 am while stoned.

it's rather time-consuming.

GOOD LUCK!

ps. instead of going as tiger lily, as originally planned, i've decided to go as ugly betty.

what can i say? i was inspired by my own blog post.

it was way too easy to put together an ugly betty outfit from my closet.

un-ugly betty

is it just me, or does betty suarez have the best style ever?  it's colourful, loud and bold. but ultimately fashion foward.

i mean, i know everyone's always talking about how america ferrera's so beautiful and how ironic it is for her to be "ugly betty" but no one ever admits to how rad her outfits actually are.

if i could dress like this everyday, i would in a mothafuckin heartbeat.

mainstream porno

Zack and Miri Make a Porno comes out tomorrow to a theatre near you.  I had the pleasure of seeing a sneak peek on Monday because my friend Dallas scored some free passes from the tubular dudes at Y108.

The movie was great, so many laugh my ass off moments.  But what Dallas and I didn't love about it was the fact that the dirty comedy was interwoven with a dramatic love story.  And maybe it's just me, but I couldn't handle the fact that Seth Rogen was the lead romantic character.

Maybe Kevin Smith should have casted someone less hot in the lead actress' role, because Elizabeth Banks is about 14 levels hotter than Rogen.  She also happens to look EXACTLY like rachel mcadams.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the ugly fat funny guy getting the gorgeous blonde girl, but they didn't make it believable enough for me I guess.  And I think the love story aspect of the film partly ruined the comedic part for me, because their awkward 'love' moments made me uncomfortable, when my heart was supposed to be melting.

Either way, the movie was great and Justin Long was fucking outstanding. He's such a good gay.

And Jason Mewes chopped off his hair, highlighted it, and looks incredible! He played an actual porn star in the movie and was so believable.  I couldn't believe it was him! He looks younger and hotter and porno-e-er. 

Overall, it gets an 8 out of 10... 

No, make that 8.4

all hallow's eve

I'm so pumped for Halloween.

All I've been oozing halloween spirit by:

1. watching repeat Simpson's Treehouse of Horror episodes

2. watching Hocus Pocus three nights

 in a row before going to bed

3. carving pumpkins (haven't done it since my sister marci cut her right hand open while carving a pumpkin in 1993)

4. watching this video of filipino inmates performing the Thriller dance on youtube (so incredibly entertaining, especially the guy playing the girl):

the only things that have been making me not as truly happy as halloween usually makes me is the whole Hudson family murderous fiasco in Chicago, and this piece of shitty news I just heard on cnn two minutes ago, about an 8-year old boy who accidentally shot and killed himself at a gun show.
