I watched this video today and literally started a waterworks display. The kind where you laugh so hard you cry, your stomach hurts, you gasp for air then comes the phlegm cough. I had a serious case of phlegm cough after I watched this video. I should have stopped after watching it once but it was impossible. I watched it over and over again. It's just too good to watch once. This is a video of Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph and Maria Bello at a press junket for their upcoming film Grown Ups. Watch Salma, then listen to the screams, then watch her climb Maya Rudolph. This my friends is viral video gold. Warning, you just might pee you pants. http://vodpod.com/watch/3803153-snake-on-a-set-watch-salma-hayek-freak-out In case you weren’t sure what she was freaking out over….it was a snake. Watching Salma climb Maya was AMAZING. I break out into a fit every time I even think of it. Enjoy!

Over the weekend we spent some much needed time catching up with two of our best friends. They are busy, we are busy, life gets in the way – you know how it is. Pretty soon half a year has gone by and you’re left wondering where the hell time went. Anyway, a new restaurant/club opened up in the downtown core and we decided to venture out of suburbiaville to try something new. This place was a twenty five and older type of joint. This is a good thing. My friend is a teacher and the last thing you want is to run into your students trying to get into a bar with a fake ID, then witness you letting loose. Oh God the embarrassment. No, you should never actually see that your teachers have a life. There’s just something so wrong about that. Anyway, as we ate, laughed and told stories about what has been going on in our lives, we all performed the ‘seat dance’ at our table. The music in this place was awesome. Think Dance Mix 94. I’m not kidding. Each time a new song came on, we’d all stop f...

There hasn’t been a whole lot of exciting stuff on the go lately however there are a bunch of things coming up very soon that are setting me on the verge of a clappy jump frenzy. It all started last week when Oprah interviewed those Twilight kids in preparation for the June 30th release of Eclipse. For the past few months I have been happily living my life without the need to call upon my Twilight friends. (Don’t worry; I completely realize that I’m a total geek, you don’t need to remind me). I was patiently waiting for June 30th to arrive but then I watched Oprah. It wasn’t so much the interview that got me excited it was the clips they showed. Boys oh boys, it looks good. Better than the first and second installments. I think the cheese factor has been considerably reduced…let’s hope. That night, after the vision of those clips had been stewing in my mind, I decided to grab my copy of Eclipse from the book shelf and begin reading. Problem…the reading didn’t stop. I finished the book...

Today’s blog is rather random and comes on the heels of learning some disappointing news and it’s Friday so what the hell. I’ve mentioned my love for Kate Hudson before. One of the biggest draws I had to her was the fact that she had no boobs and didn’t seem to care. She wore skimpy bikinis and tank tops sans bra all the time and she looked great. Her beauty, charm, confidence and ability to wrangle any man she wanted always overshadowed her lack of boobies. She gave all of us no-boob girls hope. She made us feel like we were all silly over having boob insecurities. Yesterday I read that Kate Hudson got a boob job. No! Why? Kate, you can’t do this to us. You are the no-boob poster girl. Why are you leaving our boobless club? Was it something we said? What made you fall to the pressure of having boobs? I’m not saying they look bad. Actually they look great. They look like real boobies. Very natural and perfect for her shape. I’m happy to say she didn’t go for the Heidi Montague special...

Have you ever tried to kick your caffeine habit? Have you ever tried to leave your cell phone and computer at home when you go on vacation? I am attempting to do both. Recently, under a doctor’s recommendation, I have been advised to kick my caffeine addiction. I never really drank a ton of coffee I just really enjoy my one or two cups in the morning during the week day and my three or four cups on the weekends. The first week was the roughest. Honestly, I wanted to rip out of my own skin and start scaling the walls. I didn’t realize how addicted I was until I was forced to stop. I’ve never been a smoker but I imagine it’s kind of the same feeling. I’m on to caffeine free tea now. It’s a substitute I will have to live with for awhile. Oh coffee, I love you and I miss you…sigh. I’m not breaking up with you…we’re just on a break. Wait for me. I’m taking a holiday soon and on this holiday I have decided to unplug completely. What does that mean? Well, I’ve decided I will not take my blac...

I have this re-occurring dream that runs through my mind daily/nightly. It’s not a normal dream which happens by accident each night while I’m unconsciously sleeping. No. This is a dream I whip up myself while at stop lights or making dinner. I’m one of those people who organize their dreams. Have I lost you yet? I’ll explain. On most nights, unless I’m too exhausted to think, I’ll pre plan what I’m going to think about before I fall asleep. I know, it’s like control freak to the next level. So usually I’ll set the stage – where my dream is going to take place – geographical location and venue. Then the outfit – what cute, sexy, glam item of clothing will I wear which everyone, naturally will think I look amazing in – it’s my dream – I’m allowed to do this – then I’ll pick the characters – Will it involved people I already know or will it be actors, musicians, random famous people? Seriously, I should put all of this thinking to good use and write a book or a screenplay or something. ...

I’m watching the Hope for Haiti telethon right now and I am moved by the collective efforts of the world. In moments such as this one I feel great hope for humanity. We can unite not only in times of need but in love, in hope, in faith. In times such as this, race and social class disappear uniting us as part of the human race, as brothers and sisters who share this great earth. We have a duty and a responsibility to protect each other, to help each other, to support each other not only in times of great distress but always. The musical talents represented on this telethon are phenomenal. You can purchase all of tonight’s performances on itunes…itunes/Haiti Haiti will need your help for years to come. Every little bit helps. You can help. Please don't forget about them. Thank you for opening your hearts to others. http://www.hopeforhaiti.com/ www.canadaforhaiti.com George, great job pulling your famous friends together. Here is a slideshow of pictures from the telethon: http://www...

The laziness factor is at an all time high today, exactly where I wanted it to be and a Merry Christmas indeed was achieved. Am still wearing the sweatpants and sweatshirt I put on when I woke up this morning. Yup, that means I didn’t shower yet either…don’t you just love the holidays. We finally joined the rest of the world this afternoon by watching the movie “The Hangover.” Oh my god, hilarious. Loved it! Made me want to get in the car and drive to Vegas immediately. I giggled, (yes giggled) my way through the whole movie. It had a low budget, independent feel which I love. Low production = fantastic acting in my books and it was certainly the case for ‘The Hangover,’ even the baby rocked a solid performance. Here is the trailer if you want to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB0pGnzsAZI Anyway, after the movie we ate a traditional turkey dinner while listening to a wicked iTunes genius list full of Ben Harper (yes, I’m still obsessing over him), Jack Johnson, Damien Ric...

I know I’ve said this to so many people, but I’m not sure I’ve ever typed it. Just to cover the bases I’ll recap my thoughts on the whole Christmas gift giving thing. Will and I don’t exchange gifts. Instead of buying multiple small presents for each other, we save the money to purchase bigger ticket items for the house or we save it for vacations. We are in the stage of our life known as the ‘building years.’ Furnishing a house is expensive man, therefore ‘want’ items get tossed to the bottom of the list and ‘need’ items become top priority. Here is the second reason we don’t do the whole gift exchange. A few years ago we came to the realization that the exchange of material goods for specific holidays was baloney. I understand this isn’t the case for everyone. Some people really look forward to birthdays and holidays for the presents. People love presents, I totally get it. Awesome, love it,keep it up it's good for our economy. I on the other hand would prefer a bouquet of flower...

I was at a tradeshow a few years ago that was held on the grounds of Walt Disney World in Florida. Each night of the conference the organizers put on “events” for the attendees. One evening after the park shut down for the night, they re-opened it for all the conference attendees. We had free reign over everything. We could go on any ride for free, walk up to any food vendor and have whatever we wanted for free. Since it was a smaller group of people than an average park day attendance there were no lineups either. I kid you not. If you liked a ride you could run right back to the start and do it all over again. At the beginning of the evening we all piled on coach buses that took up to the “gate”. As we walked off the bus there was a red carpet rolled out and about one hundred people behind barriers, taking our picture and yelling out stuff like “we love you”, “you’re amazing” and random nonsense like that. I’ll admit, it was really strange. It felt so weird to have so many people y...
