CTV - Canadian Television - Fall Promo 2008

This is the ad for the fall season....funny....this a woman's worlk.Coldplay and a smiling Mcdreamy :)

AussieBum

I LOVE him!!He's amazing and absolutely adorable.I was watching the Olympics the other day and he came on and I didn't know who he was.But I thought he looked hot, plus he's Australian.After he made two great jumps, I thought..."mmmmhhh he is totally gay"....which of course, to me, makes him even more adorable :)He did this little wave thing and then cried and I wanted to hug him.
I love his t-shirt....Aussiebum.I think I'm not the only one who likes him cause he's videos and interviews have been watched MANY times

Happy Days, Mr President!

Bush makes me laugh so much these days.Now that his presidency is over he's a little crackhead having fun.He really makes laugh.Dancing, singing, laughing hysterically with journalist at weird jokes that he makes.The Violet Hill Politician video makes me laugh every time Bush is dancing. The latest thing is him at the Olympics.
First carrying the flags the wrong way. I know anybody could make that mistake but it's hilarious cause he's the President of the US.
Or him and the two girls of the US Volleyball team, wearing bikinis and hugging him and he looks at them like he's having the time of his life.I guess Laura can't really wear a bikini these days...



Hey!Watch it!....where that hand going, Mr President? ;)
I'm gonna get arrested for making fun of him...








Well at least he is having fun..I guess everyone in Iraq can't say the same about themselves right now...
I would actually find him a great little funny puppet-like president if all the previous stuff hadn't happened:
"It's frightening being from another country, when you hear George W Bush giving these speeches where he seems to ignore the fact that anhone else exists outside America, on any sort of human level.We're just allies or enemies" oooooohhh yeah freedom fries :)
A dancing, funny president is great (or not since he is the most powerful man on the planet)...but in the middle you have Guantanamo, waterboarding, Iraq, weapons of mass distraction, lies....well the list is long
Have fun in China!

Hot Stuff: Jonny and Chris

I noticed something at the Coldplay concert.We all know Chris is hot.But what is even better is Chris and Jonny together.They"re hot and adorable...and have a very special friendship.Actually girls do it all the time.The hugs, the kisses (though only on the cheek).Look at the following pictures and tell me what you think:






These two are very cutr.They were on Much on Demand yesterday and the presentator said that the first time she met Chris (slut ;)) he introduced Jonny as 'his bestfriend'.Chris laughed and looked all happy and shy. Jonny laughed and looked all happy and shy and very pleased.SO he gave him a kiss, which the CUTEST thing ever. Look at them.

The next couple of pictures are more revealing.Hehehe :
Chris to Jonny








Jonny to Chris (live action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AImePDW8eLU)

Someone even made a video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCWJ7epqqU8
Basically I think they should hot sex.

young and free...and slighty wasted

Coldplay in two days...not even two days.I'm so excited that I don't realize it's almost time.I wonder which hotel they're gonna stay at...I'm sure it will be fantastic.
Other than that not much is going on.Just trying to figure out where I'm gonna go once I've graduate.Gradschools applications are difficult and stressful.For now I've got some schools in London,Australia,NYC, and here in Montreal...I have to check others out.I think Montreal would be the best, for a lot of reasons.First I like it here and I like the house.Second, the program is great, the department knows me, I like the environment and the principal teacher in the program is like this really famous professor in the field who knows all these people and makes conferences at the Hague.He knows me well and I've had him as my teacher.Plus the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Holocaust Studies is here in my university and is one of the best in the field.How great is that?I think I'll get in but you never know.I need to apply to different programs and it's a little stressful.A high GPA is not all at this point...although it helps.
I got shit drunk the other night with my friends and we were on the other side of town and had to ride back home on our bikes.It took us like an hour instead of 30 minutes.It was a fun ride: laughs, drama, tears (not from me), and laughs again.Though there are some blanks in my mind.Like..."we did that?" or how did I get back home?I mean I remember how I opened the door cause I was much more lucid by then but I can't remember the 15 minutes just before being home...I don't know how I put the bike lock on and stuff.It's fun,really.Love it.I wasn't sick so it was all very good.
The Divers City Festival is on in 2 days.It's this Gay and Lesbian Festival that last like a week.It's fun really.Some cute men...unfortunately it's not me that they want but the other cute men around me.I think it's a shame.
HAHAHAHA so funny!!!!This ad is one about Stars Wars video games or digital movie and there was Ewan (as Obi Wan).HILARIOUS.Huge beard.Even as a cartoon character.Love it.
Oh!!Harry Potter is on!yay...Gonna watch it.Wands wands wands (you should look at the face book groups about Harry Potter and his wand...some names are quite inventive."Harry Potter can play with his wand so why can't I?" or "I'd let Hermione Granger give my wand a swish and a flick"...Crazy people)

The new One: Sexual Politics

It's Hillary-ious

Matt Damon was absolutely brilliantly funny in the first one.

Jimmy Kimmel is F*cking Ben Affleck!

Ben Affleck

I'm Fucking Matt Damon by Sarah Silverman

World Affairs

I'm reading this pretty interesting book right now about the state of American politics and life.There is this chapter about 'homeland security' since 9/11.The author, Matt Frei (he's a British BBC journalist living in America), explains that what actually causes more fear and scares the shit out of people is the danger at home: guns.There was a killing spree in 2006 in Washington when two guys started shooting at random people.No reason at all.It took forever to catch them.2 weeks I think.Considering the amount of money they put in security measures and how laws and policies the government passes in order to protect American citizens, yet two guys kill like 10 people in two weeks and nobody is able to catch them.Frei explains how scared people were during these two weeks, barricaded into their houses and schools, afraid to go out and get gas at the nearby petrol station or go grocery shopping.I think he's right.Guns cause much more damage in the US than terrorism.I mean guns are so present and kill so many people every year that journalists don't even report about it anymore when it happens in Black or Hispanic neighbourhoods.There is no point apparently cause it happens all the freaking time.In Europe, someone brings a gun out and kills one persons and makes the news for like 10 minutes because it's not something that should happen.I know Americans love the Constitution and it does state that people are allowed to have a gun, it's personal property but I'm sure more people die from gun wounds every year than from terrorists attacks...so I understand that Americans are scared of terrorists attacks after 9/11 but guns cause more damage so maybe they should put some money into that instead.
Frei was also talking about the time when someone at the government or news (Fox news probably, the channel most American watch....uuuuhhh) said that there could be a possible chemical attack.People went nuts!!!They bout special clothes, bought plastic sheeting to protect themselves, batteries, flash lights, bottles of water,candles, tins, matches, nobody took the tube...blablabla.People were wondering where to hide in their house in case there was an actual chemical attack.It never came, of course.There just so much fear that people go crazy crazy.Anyway...in a way that's funny cause if there is indeed a chemical attack I'm not we can do much about it.And the fact that people go crazy is a little funny...just all the things they do, you know.But it's also scary...they're really obsessive.You never what people can do or say when they are scared...Remember Freedom Fries?Patriotism and the Patriot Act?That's actually a little scary.
What a world!

Good news

YES!Just got back from vacation (lost in the middle of nowhere,so no news).Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline.The Jolie-Pitts are so lucky.A boy and a girl!!Pretty good pretty good.I quite like the names.Especially Knox Léon.

Cover cover?

In celebrity news, it seems that everyone is having babies.Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Matthew McConaughey and his lady,Angelina Jolie (shouldn't be too long) and Jamie Lynn is on the cover of OK! with her kid...Why, oh why?I mean I can maybe understand why the Jolie-Pitts and JLo and other parents do it (although it's alitte weird, but at least the papz won't run after you.Spawn of Satan).But Spears is a little young.I mean she is 17...I don't think you should do that...I'm not usually conservative but I certainly don't think that having a child at 17 is good.I'm not saying she's gonna be bad mother because a lot of older people are bad parents but she is gonna miss out on a lot of things, you know.So I don't think you should put teen pregnancy on the cver of tabloids.15 year old girls will think that being pregnant at 16 or so is not a problem and brings you money when you're famous.I mean come on..I mean she is luckier then other girls who do not have as much money and comfort, are not celebrities, cannot finish their education, do not always have parents who are going to support them...Sorry I just find it weird to put a 17 year old girl and her baby on a magazine so many teen girls buy.I wouldn't want kids to think that it's so great to be a mom at 16.Everyone knows what happened in Massachussetts...17 girls pregnant because they think it's cool and fun to raise their kids together.No no no.
So...I'm gonna be away for a few days.Well til Sunday so that's alright.No internet for 4 days....that's gonna be a little difficult.hehehe.I know, pathetic.

Married men

Great!....I've developed a crush on James McAvoy.Well not a reeeaaal crush just like...you know, he's cute, is a good actor and has a Scottish accent.That's basically what I need.I wish Patrick Dempsey had a Scottish or British accent.That would probably kill me.Anyway, I saw McScottish in Atonement, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Last King of Scotland as well as in Becoming Jane.I've also seen bits and pieces of Wanted...but action movies are not exactly my thing.I think he was excellent in the Last King of Scotland and Atonement.It's shame he is married though.I can't have any of a my men pleasures: McPitt = married, McScottish = married, McDreamy = married.No no no.That won't do.Hollywood men settle down and have kids...and then they get prettier and prettier.These days, Hollywood men get handsomer with age...why is that?It's like Dorian Gray all over again.But they actually settle down with an actress and they calm down.Done with partying and all, they just take care of their wife and kids.Others, like McHotsingle (Clooney), odon't wanna have a wife or girlfriend...So,basically, there like no chance for the non-famous.
This rant makes no sense but I don't care.Just got carried away in my fantasy :)

Oooooh Caaaanaadaaaa!!!

Just a quick post to say: Happy Canada day!!!I don't know what they do on Canada day but everything is closed...except Blockbusters.But what's funny is that a lot of people move on the 1rst of July.It's a tradition.Radio station have special moving day music and shows.How weird is that.In France you've got the freaking military parade and here very body moves out and in.It's a real circus but it's fun.I just think they should just enjoy their day off and make barbecues.So apparently it's more Happy Moving Day then Happy Canada Day :)

random random

Since I'm gonna spent my summer in Montreal I have to find lots of things to do, even though most of my friends will stay here as well.I'm trying to get a work permit so I can get an off-campus job.That's gonna take a while since I also have to get a new passport.I hope it will all be done on time before the end of the summer.Maybe I'll try to work a little bit during the school year but I'm not sure yet because school takes a lot of time.Besides I have to apply to different schools for my masters and I'm on the university student board...yeah...I'll be busy next term.
I wanna read a lot this summer as well.Try to catch up on all the classics and maybe a few entertaining fictions as well.
My List:
Wicked (Finished)
Perfume - Süskind (Reading.Almost finished)
War and Peace - Tolstoy
The Witches of Eastwick - Updike
Jane Eyre - Brontë (always wanted to read that one)
1984 - Orwell
I really want to see Wall-E, the new Pixar/Disney movie.I think he looks so adorable."WAAALLL-EEEEE" I might go next week
I'm going on a 3 day horseride/camping trip...I just wanna see nature.I'm taking a friend.I'm really excited.I think it's a good way to discover Canadian nature....As long as we don't meet any bears along the way, I'm sure we'll have a great time.Other than that I'm not so sure what I wanna see this summer.I usually find summer movies quite annoying.Blockbusters without any real meaning.That's fine, I'm not saying any movie should have a deep meaning but I'm not too interested in seeing Batman and so on.Just not really my cup of tea.
The jazz festival is currently taking place in Montreal and I went to this Leonard Cohen Tribute concert the other night.Free and open air.Lots of people and great atmosphere.Katie Melua did two songs, Sam Cohen (his son), Garou (he is very famous in France.I usually don't like his songs but he did a great interpretation of Everybody knows), etc.MAny concerts are free during the festival so it's a good chance to see live music.
Can't wait for Coldplay and Radiohead :):)
Have to go the Piknik Elekronik now.Electro music, friends, food and alcohol.What more can you ask for?

The world of music

If I had to form a boy band..well I don't really like boy bands (at least not anymore cause when I was 15 I did...a little bit but just one).Anyway...Apparently by bands are still around and we seem to have a hard time getting rid of them.I don't know if they are making the worst music around cause Heidi Montag's latest song "Fashion" or that Vanessa Hudgens' song about shoes are probably some of the most horrible, shameful tracks ever written.I mean why sing about clothe and shoes.Okay, I admit I love shopping and reading about fashion but I certainly do NOT wanna hear a song about it.It's crime to music.I mean cone on!!We used to have Mozart, Beethoven,Verdi,The Beatles,Nirvana and we still have amazing singer/song writers such as the Wainwrights, Neil Tenant (Pet Shop Boys),Brian Eno...but what we hear on the radio, especially from people like Heidi and others like that...come on!Take That, Boyzone and New Kids On the Block are back....bbaaah!I think young people are not being offered the best music these days
Anyway...rant over....
If I had to form a boy band:
-the old and wise one: George Clooney (well he is kinda wise with all the humanitarian work but I heard he likes to party and he is forever single)
-the young, funny one: Jake Gyllenhaal, Adam Brody, James McAvoy or James Marsden (cute and funny)I know...long list.But I can't decide.Cause that one is important cause every girl is going to jump on him and that's how I'm gonna sell CDs and fill stadiums
-the family man: Brad Pitt (well he has a million kids so...)
-the wild one: Jude Law? I think...well he's British.I can see him with a lot of tattoos.
-the back singer, the one hiding behind the others, but so pretty: Patrick Dempsey

Ok..they are all rather old.Except for Adam, Jake and the James'...that might cause some difficulties when comes to the dancing.George might hurt his back or toe.But I'll be there to give him a back massage.I want Jude to play just a little bit of guitar and Patrick will certainly want to juggle.And if I ever need a gay one then I'll call pretty Rufus...I wish he write them songs but boy bands are not really supposed to write good songs so I don't think that's possible
There...my boy band...I think they will be a hit.

Tales of teens

Ok...I'm back after a long time.With my mother here I've been pretty busy.We went to New York City.It was great as usual.Fantastic weather, shopping and visiting.I hope I can move to New York one day and live in the Village.It's just a great neighborhood.You'd never guess it's in the middle of Manhattan.There are nice little boutiques, cafés, bookshops, restaurants, people playing music on the street.It's the artists' district.Even saw square I think Rufus lives on.Pretty nice I must say.As much as I like the Upper East Side because of the nice buildings and two storey appartments with a view on Central Park, I saw some of the rich kids there who go to private schools or the Lycée Français, I don't want to live in this atmosphere.I mean I saw girls younger than me with their Blackberries and tons of Gucci, Prada and Vitton shopping bags.I mean...it's not their parents' money I guess and they get everything they want (not everyone of them, obviously, but still).I just think it's wrong.I guess their parents are rarelly home and they make up by giving them money.It's Gossip Girl in the real world and if ever have kids I certainly don't want them to live like that.You can send your kids to private school without giving them all the money in the world.You just make it easy for them.
Anyway...Oh yeah, I saw the damn Jonas Brothers...twice.I walked past them while they were giving autographs in front of their hotel (which was just next to ours).It was 7 in the morning and they looked so clean.Clean hipsters?Perfect hair, virginity rings, no drugs or alcohol...it's all very funny, I think.Especially since in Hollywood and the music industry.Never gonna happen I think.Unless they are gonna get married at 21 just because they wanna have sex...Then they'll live a miserable life because they married too young....Yeah, I know it's sounds sarcastic and pessimistic.They do whatever they like and if they believe in it, great for them.I personally don't cause I've seen couples get married young and get divorced rather quickly because they wanted to meet someone else.
Oh I heard about these 17 girls getting pregnant in the US because they made a pact to have babies so they could have baby showers and raise their kids together...how fucking retarded is that???Seriously?I think that's complete madness.They don't realize what they gotten themselves into, obviously.
You've got the two extremes here...abstinence and teen pregnancy
.....Oh what a world!

Ten reasons why I wanna see this movie (trailer further down)

1.Dancing Brad Pitt (at the end) is hilarious
2.Clooney pulls the weirdest faces. "Who are you?111"
3.Brad seems to be playing a complete idiot.I think he is gonna make me laugh so hard
4."I thought you might be worried about the security of your shit!"
5.Brad and George reunited.
6.The Coen Brothers make brilliant movies.I love them
7.Clooney's smile in the trailer (1.29)
8.Brad's laugh (1.40)
9."For PC or MAC?"
10John Malkovic, Tilda Swindon and Frances McDormand

oh yes yes yes

This looks absolutely hilarious .Brad Pitt,George Clooney, Malkovic....great great great!!The Coen Brothers are amazing

Something

News might be slow in the next few weeks cause my mother is here and considering I see her twice a year...well I don't wanna spend too much time of my little maccie.
Haven't seen SATC yet but am going to see i on Tuesday with a glass of martini, of course.I can't wait.I'm also going to NYC in 10 days so that's gonna make it all better.I'm gonna look for everything SATC, including Sarah Jessica Parker and shoes ;) Thank God I can drink in the US by the way, cause I really wanna do that as well.Besides shopping and walking all day.
I'm a little saddened by the news of Yves Saint-Laurent's death as well.He was quite a man and revolutionized women's clothe.They were allowed to wear what men wore, which was pretty great at the time.We might take it for granted now but it was a big deal at the time.So, yeah, sad news.
