figuratively, not literally.So, there are a couple of must-view-every-morning-websites that I obviously check every morning, hence the wording of "must-view-every-morning-websites."There's Perez for the celeb gossip and there are a number that I frequent in order to stay in the "know" on all good television. Of course, the latter is subjective, but I think that I and my fave bloggers have

Oh good gawd... I just quoted Jar Jar Binks. Whatcha gonna do about it?Girl, whatcha gonna do? You know you done me wrong, I'm still in love with you.I digress. Ever since H&M joined the Vancouver market in Coquitlam, Old Navy has been suffering immeasurably. The amount of stock that goes to that store has diminished significantly and the stuff they do have... not so hot. In my mind, the two

I still wonder why I'm willing to devote three hours of my life every couple of months to watch award shows. They're usually long and somewhat boring, but still I tune in religiously. Maybe it's the glitz and glamour... or that I just don't want to miss out on talking about the high- and low-lights at the watercooler w/ the gals @ work. Either way, it's three-plus hours that I'll never get

If you're Cdn and you haven't figured out what hte top news/business story of the day is yet... you must be living under a rock or in a cave or something. I couldn't believe all the e-mails I received via various news sources regarding the talks that are happening b/n Telus and BCE and the potential merger. I'm sort of on the fence on how I feel about this. As one would argue, this makes the

In the classic battle of Sony's Betamax vs. JVC VHS, the victor was JVC. Of course, in the end run, Sony has most likely been a more successful organization in terms of product development and profits.Reminiscent of this battle is the new Sony Blu-Ray vs. Toshiba HD DVD. I was on the Blu-Ray bandwagon, mostly because it was hte format that the PS3 -- for obvious reasons -- would be supporting.

While I make Perez Hilton a daily read, I can't necessarily say that I'm a huge fan of his. He may be on top of all the celebrity gossip that I'm after and able to post it in short write-ups, but as a personality, Perez is seriously overrated. I don't understand why he gets invited to parties and awards shows, such as the MMVA. I guess it's free publicity for them, given that Perez will certainly

I'm in trouble if ISPs start charging users for the "exact amount and kinds of content they use on the Internet."I rarely use the Internet to "surf." Sure, I use it to read my favourite celebrity gossip blogs , stalk quasi-celebrities/B-listers/reality stars via their MySpaces and creep on Facebook on the weekends, but during the weekday evenings, all I do is "seek" out television shows that I

Well, that's not the complete truth. I do have a TV, but it's still sitting in my parent's living room. I just don't see hte pnt in moving it to my condo if a) my place is a ginormous mess & b) I still need to get a TV bench, etc. W/ that said, I'm still incredibly behind in my television watching thanks to my two week trip out east... in April. Hell, I *JUST* watched the season series finale of

Well... at least in the latest cover of Spin.& while I'm @ it... can I just say how pissed off I am that she'll be making an appearance @ VFest in TO? I had a great time -- relatively, considering the downpour on the Sunday -- @ VFest Vancouver, but the line-up for TO is to die for. :(

OK... so I don't blog for months on end & this is the topic I decide to go w/ on my triumphant return!? It always smarts a bit when I hear about a Cdn company being bought out by a U.S. company or investment firm. It's even sadder when a Cdn institution such as Sam the Record Man is forced to close its doors forever -- particularly since it has been a family owned business for more than 70 years.

So last year, I made a post about a G&M article on how it's impossible to compare cell phone rates b/n companies. Similar to my comments in my previous post, Simon Avery discusses how cell phone bills in Canada are *one-third* more than in the U.S.! Avery notes that this may be the one reason that impacts the cell adoption rate in Canada. For pete's sake... our adoption rate - 56 per cent - is

I vaguely remember reading somewhere about how Mischa Barton attributed the demise of The OC to the producers/writers poor decision in killing of her character, Marissa. As any true & blue OC fan can tell you, we all let out a yelp of glee when Marissa passed away on that dark & windy road. Anywho... I have faith that the actors of the now defunct OC have successful careers ahead of them. However

Looking over some of the media cvg on the upcoming 2010 Olympic Games and saw that Senators are fretting over French status at Olympics.I don't really understand why there is even an issue... First off, Canada's a bilingual country. It might not seem like it in Vancouver, but French and English have always been the two official languages and it will always be. Secondly... aren't the two official

that SNL has been able to make me LMAO. OK... so the Dick in a Box "music video" was hi-LAR-ious, but it's been a while since an actual skit has made me laugh hard. Apart from Arcade Fire being the musical performer this past weekend, I was really excited to see Rainn Wilson host.

I've gotta say... I was pretty bummed when I found out that Muse was no longer playing at V-Fest in Vancouver. While I was looking fwd to seeing My Chemical Romance, I was REALLY excited about Muse. But lo & behold, earlier this week when I was checking the V-Fest website... their name was unmistakenly replaced w/ Rise Against... :( Felt ultra bad for my bro as he forked over $45 purely to see

I'm sure for those of you out there who know me well, are thinking, WTF!? I'm not exactly what you would call a huge football fan, but here I am drafting up a post that focuses ONLY on football.First off - the Grey Cup is looking to sell the naming rights of the "illustrious" game/award/...cup. Are there any other major sports that have done this? Apart from tennis and golf that is. I just think

That's right! The U.S. has blacklisted us due to our relaxed copyright laws. From the sounds of it, we are by far, one of the worst countries when it comes to bootlegging movies in theatres and there are no laws against banning camcorders from them, etc. While the article doesn't go into it, a lot of the TV shows that are being circulated via bittorrent are also from Cdns - as you can tell by

Is Carson Daly Conan timeslot-worthy?The easy answer to that is... NO!I can't see how Carson is suitable replacement for the affable, Conan O'Brien. Not to mention, his Manorexia would scare any viewers who aren't used to staying up late to watch that "creature"...

Over the weekend, I read a couple of articles in the local papers and the Vancouver Sun about a teacher at Terry Fox Secondary who's been accused of, to put it simply, being a perv. None of these publications named the teacher and since I'm an alumnus of the school, I was curious as to who it was and whether they ever taught me. Since it's been nearly 10 years since I've graduated from there, I

A couple of weeks ago, the roof of B.C. Place collapsed & now there's talk that there's a good chance that the venue will not be around for long following the 2010 Olympics. A week after that, it was reported that it would be too costly to fix the roof of the Plaza of Nations & that there's a good chance that it too would be redeveloped in the near future. While I don't frequent either venues

Could Little Mosque on the Prairie be Canada's next big export? Some ppl seem to think so, but only time will tell. There have been few television shows that have made it big in the U.S. or even attracted this much media attn. There's The New Degrassi (which is def inferior to the original), but that's only on a kid's cable network in the U.S. Then there's Da Vinci's Inquest, but that's only in
