Something's not right.
2008-05-20 06:38:00
It's such a weird feeling I'm having right now. It's a mix of "I'm forgetting something" & stress. It's like I just have this "bleh" feeling in my gut at all times. I dunno why I'm like this, last night (remember I post in the morning), I almost didn't sleep, I kept waking up at random times. I hope this goes away pretty soon because I have exams coming up, I need to sleep. Maybe it's the reason why I'm all bizarre. I don't know, only thing I do know is I can't afford to be tired, not right now, I need to be fully concentrated with studying and working, at least for another week, just the time exams and projects pass along.Anyways, let's get to the goss.I'll start by posting a teaser commercial for "Living Lohan" which is premiering on Memorial day weekend....Isn't it strange a show about the Lohan family (sans Lindsay) has a commercial entirely dedicated to Lindsay without her actually appearing in it. Doesn't that sound like something the Orange Oprah wo...

Happy Victoria Day
2008-05-19 14:24:00
Hey y'all!Happy Victoria day. For some of you it means a long weekend, for others (me) it means pay @ time and a half at work, so I'm doing a full day. Hey 15$ an hour to either be in a mall or a theater isn't so bad now is it?I'll do the goss quickly, I gotta leave fast.I'll start with the big story of the day, Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz got married over the weekend."We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends," said the spokesperson. Simpson, 23, wore an ivory lace wedding gown by Monique Lhuillier and jewels by William Noble as she and Wentz, 28, exchanged vows in front of 150 guests at her parents' Los Angeles area home. Dad Joe Simpson performed the non-denominational ceremony, while sister Jessica served as maid of honor. Wentz's English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer. Guests included Jessica's boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden,...

You know your a nerd when on a Saturday night you get the offer to either go out drinking or go studying. I choose studying and I was actually happy about it. Lol, well I did have to get tons of stuff done for school and I'm working all weekend, so it was then or never. Even if I wouldn't have been so jam packed with work, I probably still would have gone studying. I like my summer class. Eug, I've come to the conclusion that I'm a nerd!Ok, let's just have the day's goss!Since it's the weekend, there isn't much either.I'll start it off with the release of Skye Sweetnam's latest music video "New Breed of Dog". You might remember I posted the teaser a couple days back, well the actual entire video is now out. It probably comes to no surprise I do like the video. Skye album is just entirely good, and this is a good choice for a single. Enjoy!I'll continue with another music video from T.A.T.U. Remember the Russian lesbo group? Well apparently they're still making ...

Hey y'all.I just came back from the Phase 2 of Kinetik Montreal , which is a electronics music festival. The Phase 2 was the industrial part of the celebrations. I have to say, even though I was a bit tired, I adored it! I got to see a bunch of new bands play, meet new people & just have a good time.I lent my camera to a friend to take more pictures tonight (it's Phase 3 - Noise... which I am deffo not going). I will post our pictures asap, and trust me, there's a lot!For now, I want to post the two bands I enjoyed the most. My top pick for the night was Funker Vogt. I believe it's the band the crowd appreciated the most as well. They had the most energy on stage and they were the one who drew the biggest amount of people inside the concert room at the same time. My second band is Memmaker. I liked them especially for the music they played. It was all high beat stuf you can dance too. Ok, I didn't dance, I just chilled in my corner, but still, they're music was go...

Yesterday night, Vanessa was performing at the Jello Bar. It's a little place on the corner of Ontario East near St-Laurent. Actually, I must say I kinda like it. It's small, but cozy. There are round booths and lava lamps everywhere. Oh and also the fact one of my best friends sang did kinda help. Lol, she did an amazing job & I'll post the videos as soon as they hit YouTube (some guy was filming).Ok, let's have the goss!The big story of the day is Angelina Jolie announced she is pregnant with twins! The earth's population of uber-adorable babies has grown exponentially! Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, Angelina Jolie has virtually confirmed her twins will be born in France.

Ok, y'all are going to think I'm really tacky but, everyday when I post in the morning, I just leave my alarm clock running. Only thing, the CD in my alarm is the Spice Girls greatest hits. Hehe, so every morning I listen to the Spice Girls .... and it's wonderful! I think it's the perfect morning music. They repeat the same stuff over and over, you really don't have to think. Also, it's pretty up beat stuff, so it wakes me up (remember that time I tried waking up to Amy Winehouse.....)Anyways, let's have the gossDid any of you catch Britney's second appearance on "How I Met Your Mother"? The critics raved her acting again! Only thing, they were bashing the script... but still raving Britney!!Here's a clip of the episode in case you missed it.The fact that Britney’s second guest spot really didn’t work was no fault of hers.

I'm back... a little late.
2008-05-13 06:50:00
Ohhh guys.What a weekend, what a weekend. I didn't expect to have so much fun! I was going with the "imma live in a friggen tent" idea but it turned out the "camping" was my kind of camping. Big chalet, nice beds, electricity + running water. Each association at school had their own house, and a main one to party. I don't think I've ever stayed up so late to dance. It was largely fueled by Red Bull's (sponsors) and Rhum & Cokes (wish they sponsored).On Sunday night, I just didn't have the energy to blog. I went straight to bed. I left the camping grounds at 10:30 (meaning I woke up at 7:30 - our team were on cooking duties) only to head over straight to work. I did my two-jobs Sundays. The day shift at the mall & the night shift at the theater. You can see a day of running on a bottom-of-a-redbull-can was very productive.Well, no worries. I had an amazing time, and I'm back to blog now. I don't have any plans for vacations in the near future, so it should...

New Schedule
2008-05-09 08:07:00
Darn this new schedule at work & school is killing me. The adjustments are really not going well. I'm used to wake up late and go to bed late. Now, I'm waking up early to get to work, but I'm still going to bed late. I guess it's going to the gym at 9 instead of 11, or studying at 3 instead of 7. Eug, well as a result, I got a cold. Who gets a cold in May??? Lol, well I do. At the rate I'm using kleenex, deforestation is going to go up exponentially.Anyways, personal drama aside, I have an announcement to make.I probably told you this before, but I am leaving for camping over the weekend. The no-water/no-electricity type camping.... yeah, I know. What's a superficial betch like me going to do in the middle of the woods? It's a school thing. I'm actually looking forward to it (the going away part, not the no-electricity part). We could have just rented out a chalet, it would have been slightly better but, hey, I'll take whatever forced vacations I can get!A...

I'm really starting to like this new way of blogging I have made. At night, before going to bed, I look up all my stories. In the morning, I wake up a half hour earlier to type up everything. I find I'm more efficient since in the morning, I have a limited amount of time. Also, I like it better because I'm less tired while writing it. My new work schedule makes me wake up early, whether it's 8:00 am or 8:30 am, the only difference is I don't have to buy a Cafe Depot in the morning.Ok, well let's have the goss!I'll start with some good Britney news!

Mel C Concert!
2008-05-06 15:14:00
Hey y'all.As you all probably read yesterday, I went to see Mel C at Club Soda. I have to say, the show was AMAZING! It was a much smaller venue then the Spice Girls reunion, about 300 people at most showed up. I was next to the scene, literally, Magda even handed her a poster (that some chick made).I'm sure y'all wanna see some pictures right ?She was right there. The entire show was made of up tempo songs. Everyone was just having a blast, jumping and dancing. She did sing a couple of songs from her older albums, but mostly new stuff. Although she did perform "When your gone" - duet with Bryan Adams (no he wasn't there unforch) which was greatly appreciated. I also got the opportunity to film a two songs from the show. All in all, I really enjoyed the show. Mel C has such great energy on stage. Her songs are really good, I didn't know half of them before the show, but I will make sure to check out more of her stuff. (and so should you!) Ok, let's have the goss...

New-York trip ! The post!

Hey y'all.Ok so here's my New-York City post. Everything that happened, the pics and deets.Let's start!We arrived in NYC on Monday around 5pm. By the time we were out of the hotel, got unpacked and ready for supper, it was pretty late. We ate at Applebee's, which I had never eaten there before. It was good, but most importantly, it was precursor to the rest of the vacation, over-eating!Our hotel was located a couple of streets down from Times Square, walking distance, therefore in order to make the most of our night, we hit up the 24h hour shops! My favorite has got to be by far the M&M World, with everything M&M resemblance. It's 3 stories high and you can find anything you can think of. What I also liked a lot was the fact there's a Starbucks at every corner.... EVERY street corner.... literally. We went for a late coffee before it closed, next to the David Letterman show, and we had 3 in eye sight. There's one on the corner of the studio, one across the stre...

I wanted to be the first one there in order to beat the lineup. Damn, the clock rang at 8:00 - snooze it. It rang at 8:15 - Snooze it. It rang at 8:30 - too tired to even get up and snooze it.

The news will come as a bitter blow to Posh, who is keen to launch a career as a fashion designer. Her jeans are over £100 and when she launched the range, she said: "I want everything to be perfect.
