Google Chuck Norris

OMG but this just made me laugh out loud (and due the pregnancy I almost peed my pants).

The list universe today (and it has been great this week) had stupid criminals (including a Darwin award winner). The number one on the list is great! (http://listverse.com/2010/07/16/10-truly-ridiculous-criminal-acts/)

But, the best part was reading the comments and one of the commentators suggested going to google and searching on 'google Chuck Norris' and selecting 'I feel lucky'.

Customer Support Post

The List Universe had an excellent post this week and their #2 is very much my #1 (and I actually posted about it earlier this week). The list was about time-wasters and their comments on 'customer support' were so bang on!

With that being said, I actually had a half-decent support call with Petro-Canada yesterday. Granted, they haven't followed up like they said they would and I don't know if the issue has been corrected, but I didn't want to throw my phone across the room when I spoke with them so that's already 100 times better than my normal customer support contacts with other companies (this week: Dell and Creative Memories top my list of crap support).

Twilight Fun

Okay, I keep meaning to blog about my obsession with Twilight, but that will have to wait.

This blog I found is awesome! Check it out: I may need to get the Buffy action figure and the Edward Cullen doll to go with my Angel puppet.

(I love the quip from Buffy in the comments: "Oh, yay. It's a disco-vamp.")

But, the best part? The clip on this page. It's phenomenal. I miss Buffy!

Another Great Post

This one made me laugh outloud as I have thought most of the same things about movies not based in fact (so true!).

Awesome blog idea

I'm definitely going to think about this idea and will try to get my perfect day (comprised of movie scenes).

Top 50 Television Shows of All Time

Empire just posted their top 50 tv shows of all time. I think #2 should be #1, but the list was pretty interesting. I think Monty Python's Flying Circus should be higher though.

http://www.empireonline.com/50greatesttv/default.asp?tv=50

For each of the shows you get a synopsis (I love Firefly's, probably because I agree with the Nathan Fillion comment), the best episode and a fact you might not have know (I did not know the Buffy fact - not sure I would have loved it as much if Angel had of died in Season 2).

Movie Lists

These lists had me laughing my ass off and definitely wanting to go watch some movies.

SNL Fav List

TV Stevie (from Rogers) just posted an article on his favourite cast members of SNL. Just remembering some of these skits has me in hysterics. How I remember hanging out at Leasa Collinson's watching Eddie Murphy the night that Buckwheat was shot. Still one of my all-time favourite SNL episodes.

Note: I am attempting to add my blog about my crazy evening in Goderich, but it requires pictures that are home in Mississauga and I'm stuck here in Niagara Falls working crazy hours until I go on vacation. I have 3 more training sessions to give this evening (which means I'm missing So You Think You Can Dance :(

Gotta love Jack

I normally don't go to youtube, but it had to do with Jack Bauer so I had to check it out. I love the beginning interview with Keifer.

100 Memorable Movie Scenes

I just found this website (IMDB has some awesome links).

http://film.guardian.co.uk/100filmmoments/0,,76993,00.html

I've only read the top 10 so far (I kind of wish I had of started at the end). My dad will love #7 (as do I) and Jason will love #6. I have to agree with #1. The stories behind the scenes are great. I'm hopeful that my favourite will make the list (I'll keep you posted).

So far I have seen the movies in the list, I hope this will not lead to more movies that I want to see.

What does everyone else think?

Handwriting Analysis

Check out this website: http://tul.com/

Very funny and sounded very close to me. I'm outgoing, life of the party, very close to my mother, but frustrated when it comes to sex. :) It's a very funny site. Plus, it then tells you which pen is right for you.

Canada's 7 Wonders - Vote

You know how much I love CBCs weird Canada's best shows, well there is another one: Vote for Canada's 7 Wonders.

http://www.cbc.ca/sevenwonders/index.html

The link contains the 50 that made the list; they include natural and man-made wonders.

I haven't checked them all out yet, but I do have 9 already on my list out of the 50 to vote for. I actually have quite a few man-made items on my list because they are what make me think of Canada. But, I may change my mind. The Northern Lights will definitely stay on my list and I suspect Gros Morne National Park will also stay on my list since that was one of my favourite adventures.

So, go take a look, vote and then let me know what you think should be included.

Here is what I have so far as a first pass:

• Gros Morne National Park
• Ice Roads (can't get more Canadian than roads made of ice)
• Northern Lights
• Old Quebec City
• The Canoe
• The Stanley Cup
• Trans Canada Hwy
• Rideau Canal

The Best Sci Fi in 25 Years

Check out the following website from EW:

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20036782_20037403_20037541,00.html

Out of the 25 listed, there are only 6 where I have not seen the movie or at least one episode of the TV show. I have to agree with the writers that it is too bad that Star Wars or Empire were not eligible for the list (I can't believe they are both over 25 years old).

A number of my brother's favourites are on here, as well as mine. I knew it had to be a good list when the first thing I saw was a picture from 'V'. How we loved that series in our house! As well as getting to watch 'Dr. Who' with my dad after the news on TVO. Definitely some of my fondest memories (and scariest: 'exterminate' is still one of the scariest things I've ever heard).

I was very happy to see Serenity on here (since Buffy doesn't count as Sci-Fi).

For some reason I still do not have any urge to watch Heroes. From what I have heard this is a show right up my alley that I should love. I don't know why I don't want to watch it. Maybe because I am so disappointed in Lost this season. Maybe I am just TVed out? I seem to still have lots of room for 'reality' tv. But, not so keen on the serial television. I still haven't watched the last half season of Lost, Veronica Mars, 24 or Gilmore Girls (and boy are they taking up space on my PVR). It took me forever to finally watch Prison Break and I just found out that I haven't seen the last episode. I seem to be way more interested in watching reruns of Dawsons Creek (which I watched when it was originally on tv).

I'm definitely putting some of those shows that I have missed onto my library list. I do want to check out the new Battlestar Gallactica. I hear it's pretty good.

The Corey's Are Back

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't actually gone to the site. Of course I went to the site. It was about the Corey's. Yes, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman are back from the 80s. How I loved them back in 'The Lost Boys'. Now I'm older and realize that Jason Patrick and Keifer Sutherland were actually the hot ones. Hey, I was only 15 when this came out and they are my age.

http://tv.msn.com/dearcorey

On this website you can send your questions to the Coreys. They are coming out with a new reality show on A&E soon and I guess this is part of the promotion for the show.

I just have to figure out a really good question to ask them. (Just so you are aware, I am kidding, I do not plan to send in a question.)

Test the Nation IQ

Last night CBC had a special called 'Test the Nation' to determine the nation's average IQ. I taped the show, but decided to take the test online. While taking the test I knew I had at least three questions wrong (as soon as I clicked on the button, I knew I was wrong), but online it did not allow you to change your answer.

My average on the different sections was 10 out of 12 correct. The average IQ is between 90 and 100. I have taken a couple of other online IQ tests and I normally end up with around 115. But, on this test I ended up with 124. Which puts me in the top 8% of Canadians. Woo hoo. But, I'm not a genius. Genius level is over 130 :( (I want to be smarter). My lowest section score I am unhappy to say was 9/12 in the logic section. I'm super annoyed, since I do think of myself as a pretty logical person. Maybe I shouldn't have had a beer before taking the test.

Check out the test:

On the website they also have some 'fun facts' on IQ. One of the not so 'fun facts': Women with a higher IQ are 40% less likely to marry.

Random Movie Quote

I just found a cool website: The Movie Quote Generator. http://thesurrealist.co.uk/movie.php

I entered the word Wookie and it came back with: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my wookie. Prepare to die!"

I could spend all day on this site.
