on:Sorry for the relatively long hiatus, but there’s a big update!
I’m in Toronto, loving it, and I have a new family member.
His name is Buster, and he’s a little puppy I got from a shelter. 10 months old, part daschund and part Rottweiler mix!
I’m having a great time with him and will hopefully get some pictures soon!

Roger Ebert: A True Hero
Posted February 21, 2010
on:Roger Ebert is my hero.
He has been for many years, in fact, since I watched him review films on Ebert and Roeper as a teen. I wanted to be like him, a critic. I was lucky enough to actually live that dream a little in my short life, but no one can even touch Ebert when it comes to professional accomplishments. He has published countless books, received several honours, changed the world of film criticism forever, and inspired generations to love movies again. But now, he is facing a fight for his life. A fight which has cost him something he is perhaps best known for (except his thumbs perhaps): his voice.
The idea is horrifying: a critic literally losing his voice. However, Ebert is everything but silenced. His voice, while audibly absent still lives on in his writing. RogertEbert.com features up-to-date reviews of recent films, and he is also a featured columnist for the Sun Times. Ebert recently exhibited the utmost bravery in revealing to the world his face for an interview in Esquire.
Some might call it monstrous, others might call it honest, but it is nonetheless the reality for Ebert now. He speaks through a computer, and through notes he writes. Supported by his wife Chaz, Ebert remains a very key member of the film world.
Many say Ebert is dying; he prefers to think of things more optimistically. While his time with us may be limited, his impact is not. His passions, and opinions, will live on forever in his writing, his television series’, and his trademarked “thumbs up”.
Get Your Tweet On
Posted February 13, 2010
on:I thought everyone had twitter. I’m starting to realize I may be wrong.
I was once like you. I hated Twitter, hated the idea of it really, but also just didn’t want to leave my soft warm comfort zone that is Facebook. Well, since I’m not going to add my readers to Facebook (that’s a stalking waiting to happen), I would love it if you would follow me on Twitter.
If you don’t already have Twitter, or don’t understand it, here’s a brief summary of what it does.
My Worst Nightmare
Posted January 31, 2010
on:Literally, I was awoken last night by a nightmare of epic proportions-
I was on… THE JERSEY SHORE.
Sweet God it was terrifying. There was self-tanner, big hair and disgusting sexual escapades. Perhaps what was most terrifying was the knowledge that this was anything but a figment of my imagination: it’s a show on MTV.
Don’t watch this show. I watched one episode (ONE!) and I felt my brain matter start to boil and run out my ear.
The cast is an array of New Jersey guido and guidette stereotypes. Their names are as ridiculous as they appearance: Snooki, The Situation, Sammi Sweetheart, J-Woww, Pauly D, and the two normal-named ones Ronnie and Vinny. The only real pleasure can be found by watching the borderline-midget Snooki get socked in the jaw. I am a firm advocate for women’s rights, and this guy should not have punched her, but it feels so good to watch.
Also, people are pissed about the stereotype that they’re supporting. But MTV isn’t really in the wrong here: these people are obviously caricatures. I have a feeling most viewers will recognize that there can’t be an entire state of people this idiotic in existence, or there would be at the very least a high occurence of melanoma. Not to mention, I’m sure their state test scores would be alarming.
