  • 10:41 @bruceadam - Noah sounds like quite the baby mastermind! #
  • 10:46 @fuzzz - Noted! I shall remind you at brunch :) #
  • 13:28 Back from great brunch with @sweetmonimons, @fuzzz and @miVi3k at Mill Street - had an exquisitely tasty omelet. #
  • 13:30 @petertravers - Yes! The only reason I'm even thinking about seeing New Moon is the presence of the awesome Michael Sheen. #
  • 17:03 Just woke up from an epic nap...headache I was trying to get rid of is still there. Grrrr. #
  • 17:49 Need to figure what to do about dinner...no food here, must venture out. #
  • 19:01 Watching Titanic (don't know why) while scarfing down some dinner. Then it's time for some Christmas tree work... #
  • 19:39 @cherrysberries - The tree looks gorgeous! My favourite colour combo - red and gold :) #
  • 19:43 @cherrysberries - I've been searching for one for 2 years! Can't find anything simple enough that isn't felt...lol... #
  • 20:01 @cherrysberries - Totally! Pier 1 has gorgeous ones but they're all over $40! WTH? If I find any more reasonable, I'll let you know :) #
  • 20:12 Remembering seeing Titanic in theater & laughing when the entire audience yelled out "Victor Newman!" when Eric Braeden showed up #goodtimes #
  • 20:21 @cherrysberries & @sweetmonimons - I haven't looked there yet - maybe I'll get lucky and find one! The search continues... #
  • 21:22 @GValentino - Excellent definition! #
  • 22:01 Not entirely sure about this new Christmas tree- it's supposed to be slim (aka for apts/condos) but it's a little Charlie Brown Christmas. #
  • 22:11 @cherrysberries - Trying to get a good one - will post!...only the lights are on right now. Going to wait to decorate until tomorrow :) #
  • 22:11 @GValentino - I hope it does...not convinced yet ;) #
  • 22:23 twitpic.com/qla2p - Here's the apartment tree - it's growing on me...by tomorrow, I think I'll like it! #
  • 22:27 @cherrysberries - Thanks! Can't wait to add the decorations tomorrow! #
  • 23:04 @digallo - You make an excellent point! Life lessons from the Peanuts :) #
  • 23:12 @GValentino - Heh...you are the man :) Don't let it go to your head ;) #
  • 23:27 @GValentino - Right there with you! Highly overrated quality, humility, who needs it? #
  • 23:30 Should be going to bed but one of my favourite movies is on TV and if I see it's on, I have to watch it through to the end. #
  • 00:11 @ThatCleverShark - Nico was on dancing with Janet? Dammit! Now I'm going to have to scour the YouTubes for the routine :) #

  • 13:40 @EWAnnieBarrett - No! How am I going to catch up on the snarky TV 1-liners I missed? I'll have to be xtra vigilant in my observations now! #
  • 14:47 @Pica_A - Nooooooooooooo! I guess that means I'll have to start cheering for TWO teams soon... #
  • 18:36 So happy this week is over! Hello to the weekend! #
  • 18:44 Pet peeve: People emailing & asking for info you've just given them IN email. Searching your inbox is faster than getting me to re-write it. #
  • 18:45 @jenifafa - I've seen pictures of legitimate Banana Crossings...so turtle ones don't surprise me at all! #
  • 18:56 Immensely cheered up when I realized there was a new Bugle podcast waiting for me when I got home! HUZZAH! #
  • 20:19 Just popped into Pier 1 - it's officially my magical, cheerful wonderland from now until Christmas. Guaranteed to cheer me up! #
  • 20:38 @fuzzz - That's always a fun game. But so exciting when you find the culprit! #
  • 20:44 Re-watching Castle S1- have come to the conclusion that Castle & Molly are my fave TV dad/daughter duo next to next to Keith & Veronica Mars #
  • 20:44 @fuzzz - I did not KNOW that! You learn something new every day! #
  • 20:47 @fuzzz - Mind reader! I was just logging in to look! Thank you, Twi-hards! #
  • 21:25 @jenifafa - Totally! My friend saw them in the Caribbean - like this one: travel.webshots.com/photo/2969316270075042295cszpgX #
  • 23:33 @HellZiggy - That is definitely a must-see movie - glad you remedied that! #

So glad this week is over...super busy work week, trying to fight off getting sick (looks like I might have gotten lucky and succeeded there!) and generally bullshittery that has made this weekend super welcome.

Best part of the week? Getting to interview Kellan Lutz from The Twilight Saga: New Moon. I'm not a huge fan of the series but it's always fun to interview and he was a super relaxed, nice, charming guy. Not too bad on the eyes either!

Thinking of heading out to see Pirate Radio tomorrow...hasn't been getting stellar reviews BUT with a cast like that, I know I'm going to like it. Will report back when I do!

My favourite entertainment news of the week? Michael Fassbender is going to play Mr. Rochester in a new version of Jane Eyre!!!! Be still my heart...

  • 18:07 Conclusion reached today - I'd rather receive an outright, blunt insult than a thinly disguised backhanded compliment. #
  • 18:41 Out for a cathartic dinner with the Mommy...always makes any day, no matter how rough, better! #
  • 21:11 Conclusion after much back and forth at dinner: Everyone is an idiot except us, 'cause we are awesome. No faulty logic there at all ;) #
  • 21:32 @julietlandau - Welcome to Toronto! I hope you manage to get out and explore/enjoy our city a bit while you're here :) #
  • 21:39 @cherrysberries - I was just thinking the same thing! Seemed a little early but they're getting it all in at once :) #
  • 22:07 @cherrysberries - Totally agree! Plus, how awesome was Bailey? #
  • 22:31 @cherrysberries - Owen really did...I was getting so annoyed with that story, that moment came as an awesome surprise! #
  • 22:57 @cherrysberries - Right there with you, lady! #
  • 23:55 Watching Parks & Rec on time-shifting...loved the stereotype montage. "Bitches be crazy!" #
  • 00:40 So tired - but finally done work! Huzzah! My bed is calling me...night all! #
  • 00:40 @Pica_A - I'm depressed already :( My two faves... #

  • 15:46 @miVi3k - Thanks so much, my dear! Without a lot of prep time, I think it turned out okay! #

  • 09:30 See what happens when I get in earlier to work? The frustration just starts piling up SOONER! #
  • 09:40 @Stacerella - I usually get in later but a bunch of meetings meant I needed to be here around 9...not pleasant at all :( #
  • 09:42 @Stacerella - Darn tootin'! I strike out on point one for sure, point two depends on the hour and the day ;) #
  • 14:34 @GValentino - Fifth? FIFTH? I didn't think he'd win but that's just wrong... #
  • 14:41 What's a word that means more than frustrated...but perhaps less than "I want to throw myself under a shiny bus"? Thoughts? #
  • 14:53 @fuzzz and @GValentino - Wordsmiths, the both of you... #
  • 18:07 Finally heading home. Today's been a very long day...good thing I can relax when I get ho...oh wait...no. Have work to do... *headdesk* #
  • 19:42 Did I just kill a wasp trying to sting me in my kitchen? In Toronto? In NOVEMBER? Yes, yes I did. #
  • 19:57 @bmattb - Sadly, nope! Nothing changes ;) #
  • 19:58 @Stacerella - Oh! That's the perfect word! #
  • 20:33 @modernmod - I see a @fuzzz and a @somnambulant in that pic! #
  • 21:16 Ah, the glamourous life of an entertainment blogger...transcribing an interview while downing a glass of white wine & Doritos. Jealous? ;) #
  • 22:10 @tcm - Can't wait! So excited about the festival - think it's a fantastic idea! #
  • 22:41 @NathanFillion - Such a Twease (aka Twitter tease)! Can't wait to see what the Buffy tie-in is! #
  • 23:19 @miVi3k - I may use "Twease" in convos on an annoyingly ongoing basis but even I can't think of how to work that one into a Castle quip! #
  • 23:25 @fuzzz - I leave it to you to find a way...you are, after all, the original Twease ;) #
  • 23:36 Watched Star Trek's DVD gag reel -good one! Still have yet to find one better than the "I'm Bill Pardy" awesomeness. Something to aim for! #
  • 23:38 Why yes, I AM listening to jaunty Christmas tunes while writing up this interview. Totally too soon but I can't stop! Sing it, Ms. Kitt... #
  • 23:45 @fuzzz - If only I could switch my work hours to take full advantage of my witching hour alertness! A pipe dream, I know. #

  • 10:17 Awesome way to start a day? With a douchebag parked & completely blocking my driveway. Took me 20 min to find him & get him to move his car. #
  • 10:18 @Deb_Fosten - Not just you! I noticed that too...but maybe because I'm also in that kind of mood today...lol #

  • 21:44 @GValentino - Ha! I'd love to get a bunch made and hand them OUT at work ;) #
  • 23:02 Got the scratchy throat again...comes and goes every few weeks. My throat is a flu tease. #
  • 23:20 Come on, cranberry tea! Wave your little cranberry pom-poms and work your healthy cranberry throat-soothing magic... #

  • 19:55 @red_sunflower - yup! But it's Toronto so "warm" in late fall/early winter is much different than you guys! We're talking 10 deg C here :) #
  • 00:31 Jon Bovi and Weekend Update are saving #snl this week. Poor January Jones...not everyone can awesomely surprise like Jon Hamm last year. #
  • 00:49 @GValentino - I missed the beginning! The Jon Hamm ep is still one of my faves from the last few years...loved that they had Moss on it! #
  • 00:57 @GValentino - The Vincent Price Halloween Special skit is a personal favourite from that one...though as much for Hamm as Hader :) #
