Odd Pairings plus Sweet Dance Moves - Human AND Gorilla!

First day of Summer?

Really?

At this point, I'm rooting for the SECOND day of Summer!!!  So, I'm all about watching videos that make me feel good. Especially in the middle of the work week, right? Got a mitt-full of those below....

But before we tumble into the videos, here's a story that has me perplexed: Actor Doug Hutchison 51 yr old has married 16 yr old Courtney Alexis Stodden.

Doug (51) & Alexis (16)  from gossip.whyfame.com

And according to THIS article, her parents heartily approve. These parents ALMOST seem 'normal' until her mom says 'She has real breasts, real lips, she is not plastic."  Uh...okay. And her real lips & breasts are relevant how? 
Call me jaded, but I see this union going bust before the groom reaches 'Freedom 55' in four years!!!!  Yikes!


So, here are my favorite Tuesday Time-waster Videos!

A few months ago, I posted the Lady Gaga lip-sync/dance by Trevor at The Apple Store. CNN covers this new phenomenon in this piece...



Now, to watch my FAV Apple Store dance by young Trevor...


A breakdancing Gorilla at a Calgary Zoo?


Plus, further animal oddities:  two otters at a Vancouver zoo really appear to be lovingly holding each others paws....sweetness


Hope Wednesday finds you well!

How about this: The New Miss America is a 'GEEK'?!

By Valerie Macon, AFP/Getty Images

Alyssa Campanella of Los Angeles apparently reads history books for fun, considers herself a 'science geek', is in favor of marijuana for medicine and believes in the Big Bang Theory. Yes, she actually believes in EVOLUTION. With that, I'd say that there is hope for the evolution of the Miss America Pageant...maybe.




And some will deep fry ANYthing!

 'Deep Fried Kool Aid Balls'...watch the video HERE .  As a newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic, I'll be passing on this particular, ah, recipe. But if YOU try it, please let me know if it's actually tasty.


And finally, the randomness ends in a mushy puddle of cuteness....

Hot TV picks for Summer 2011



ISTOCKPHOTO.COM

 WHERE HAS ALL THE GOOD TV GONE?!!!!
It's still out there, you just have to sift through a bunch of re-runs to find the new, undiscovered gems. Below is my list of proven returning 'goodies' and promising 'newbies'.  Many of which you can watch online while you kick back poolside...


This list MUST begin with one of favorite shows of 2010! Finally, after what feels like forever....HAVEN returns!  Filmed in Nova Scotia, this show is based on the Stephen King novel 'The Colorado Kid'.  I am so bonkers about being a Maritimer, while watching this series, it just tickles me endlessly to see familiar buildings/sights and such.  As well, the Nova Scotia backdrop lends a delicious blend of melancholic beauty and dark tension.  The show airs in countries around the world, boasts a talented American and Canadian cast and features a fantastically appropriate soundtrack.
'Haven' returns to Showcase July 18th. Yay!!!!!!!


Us gals sure like our murder mysteries/crime/legal dramas and one of my favs has just returned with new episodes!  Catch up quickly with the new season of the A&E hit 'The Glades'.


"Expedition Impossible" looks like it will be action-packed visual treat! Hit the link and watch the first 15 minutes of the premiere episode.


Arguably the biggest dance competition in our little country of greatness is 'So, You Think You Can Dance, Canada'. This hit show returns to Canada tomorrow! (June 20th) 


While I can't personally vouch for it as it hasn't debuted yet, the promos look promising for Combat Hospital.


If you like mystery and intrique...then hitch your wagon to the CBS hit 'CHAOS' with familiar faces: Freddy Rodriguez,  Eric Close & Kurtwood Smith.


If you've ever had fantasies of living on another planet (you know, EVERY Monday),  then the new SciFi drama 'Outcasts' might just be your Summer Intergalactic love affair!


And finally, I must be honest: my sense of humour straddles both the absurd and foolish. (blame it on a family obsessed with Monty Python.   If you think that sounds just like you, then allow me to suggest 'Single White Spenny' and 'Almost Heroes',  two quirky new shows on Showcase....you can catch up their inaugural few episodes by hitting:  Showcase Video Player


If you have any suggestions for SUMMER TV VIEWING, please enter the conversation and drop me a comment.


As always, you are FABULOUS and a ROCKSTAR!!!

How to Be a Better Dad!

Wow...ah...my first post. Alot of pressure. Here's a snapshot of my life right now: C100 personality, free-lance voice talent, entrepreneur, part-time teacher, mom and partner.

So, like most gals, I attempt to cram ALOT into each 24hr period. And also, like most gals, I like to find ideas/experiences that I have in common with other women. Hopefully, you will some of that here on all of our C100 blogs!

So, to start with....a great little read on how DAD can strive to be a better dad!
