The guy’s name is Louis CK, who is being interviewed by Conan O’Brien.  This is an amazing clip that I believe will give us a wake up call about how much we take for granted.

I have acquired quite a few cd’s recently, old and new.  I have to tell you about two of my favorites.  I was just given a copy of Roseanne Cash’s new cd ‘The List’.  People Magazine calls this cd ‘a loving tribute – Cash puts her own spin on these tunes.  Two of my favorite tracks are Sea of Heartbreak with Bruce Springsteen joining her and Heartaches by the Number, where she is joined by Elvis Costello.  Excellent.

And I know I am probably one of the last people to buy Lost Highway by Bon Jovi, but better late than ever.  Every single song on this cd could be a #1 Hit for this group.  It is one of the few cd’s that every single song is good, including the collaborations with Lee Anne Rimes and Big and Rich. 

I have been playing these cd’s over and over. 

Enjoy

This was too funny not to share!  A friend sent this to me, it is Rick Mercer Rant on the Swine Flu!  For those of you who don’t know Rick Mercer, he is is a Canadian Comedian , Television Personality, political satirist and a blogger.  He also has his own television show on CBC called The Rick Mercer Report.  Fabulously witty and smart, I hope you enjoy.

Movies, Movies Movies!  With no television, and all the rain we have been getting, I have been renting ALOT of movies.   Let’s start with the one I named this post after ‘He’s Just Not That Into You!”  Great ensemble cast including Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper, Drew Barrymore, and Justin Long.  And by the way, Justin Long, the guy from the MAC Computer commericals, awesome. 

I haven’t read the book yet, although I have read about the book.  I enjoyed the movie.  I can understand why it made $177-million worldwide.   And although Rolling Stone Magazine trashed it, obviously a lot of people enjoyed it, and I am recommending it.

Some of the other movies I have seen recently…. Would you believe the very first Harry Potter movie?  I know, I am the last person on the planet who has not seen this movie – well now I have.  It was good. 

I have also watched Horsemen with Dennis Quaid (disturbing), The Taking of Pelham 123 with Denzel Washington and John Travolta (good), Ice Age 2 (love these movies), W with Josh Brolin (way too long), Northern Lights with Lee Ann Rimes (romancey), Yes Man with Jim Carrey (typical Jim Carrey movie), Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Jennifer Garner (hilarious), and Observe and Report with Seth Rogen (so stupid it was down-right funny!)

Yep, we have had a lot of rain!!  Enjoy

Will There be 6 months?  That is the question.  October is here, the evenings are much longer, and I’m starting to miss television a bit.  I do miss Dancing with the Stars!

Plus, I guess there is a bit of excitement with the returning of your favorite shows.  Now I don’t have a lot of favorite shows.  But I do wish I could have watched the Season opener of Grey’s Anatomy.  And I haven’t found a source in Canada yet, that allows you to watch previous episodes.  On the ABC website, this feature is only available to people living in the United States.

And I still miss the Food Network!

Does anyone out there know how to watch previously aired television episodes if you live in Canada?  Surely there must be a website available to us.

I look forward to hearing from you if you know of one.

Still reading lots!
