I heart Aziz Ansari

I love Aziz Ansari.  I think he's hilarious and I bought tickets for his show this past Friday at the Sony Center in Toronto.  He did new material which was pretty exciting because we have seen his old bit but you could tell it was new material as it was a little rough around the edges.  He stuttered over some of his material but it was still pretty darn hilarious.  I wish he didn't focus so much on relationships and did other observations as well.  & what happened to his cousin!?

This picture right here is form my camera....If you've ever seen his show, you know he does a bit where he lets the audience take as many pictures of him as they want before he tells them to put it away.

ANTM British Invasion


It's a little embarrassing but yes, I still watch Americas Next Top Model.  I actually tried watching an episode earlier this season but couldn't sit through the whole episode.  I thought I finally kicked the habbit but like a true addict, I caught myself watching another episode.  They were at Toronto's Fashion Week so it was pretty interesting to watch and recognize places.  i.e. their photo shoot was in the Distillery District....In true Tyra style, the shoot was tacky as ever with maple leafs stuck over their naughty bits with maple syrup poured over them.  Really who still takes this show seriously?

Project Runway Allstars

Austin Scarlett
I don't have cable so I am pretty behind on the TV world.  I was on hulu last night and what do I see?  Project Runway All-Stars.  Awesome!  Except, it doesn't have Heidi as the host anymore.  Not just Heidi, all the judges have changed.  I wonder what happened.  I found Heidi very chrasimatic and easy to like.  This new host has some big shoes to fill but I can't help watching since some old favorites are back including the fabulous Austin.

Dexter Season 6

Has anybody else been dissapointed by this season?  I am going to rant about Dexter even though I've watched every single episode this season.  The thing is Dexters has had 5 amazing seasons in my book and I feel like I need to stand by as the writers learn their lesson and go back to its roots.  Like when parents let their children do dumb things because they know in the long run it will teach them a lesson.  Well that's kinda how I feel about this season of Dexter.
  1. This might be silly but every time I see Tom Hanks son on screen, all I can think about is Tom Hanks (not in that way....he just pops into my head and takes away from the immersion into the story)
  2. The big twist this season wasn't much of a twist.  I think lots of people including myself saw it coming from the start.
  3. Quinn --> Annoying
  4. Debroah --> Annoying
  5. Sgt. Laguerda --> Annoying
  6. That intern dude --> Annoying
  7. Basically anybody aside from Dexter and Mos Def I don't care for this season.  P.S. they got rid of Mos Def too early in the season
  8. The religious theme of this season isn't my thing
  9. His 'struggles' with maintaining family life.  Yeah they made it way too easy with the baby sitter.  I liked previous seasons where we saw him actually struggle to maintain his family life with the kids.
  10. There's more but I'll end the list with that random episode with his brother.  I get why they put it in there but really a whole episode on that?  And why not have him interweaved through out the whole season?

    Breaking Bad & The Wire

    So I've been a bit of a hermit lately because I've been in a bit of a funk lately.  So what have I been doing while shunning the outside world?  Watching Breaking Bad & The Wire.  I just finished Breaking Bad & holy crap!  It's probably now my favorite show ever.  I used to think Dexter was #1 but the characters in Breaking Bad reeled me in.  With Dexter, I find the main character is strong and the others are great as supporting characters.  With Breaking Bad, I feel like several of them could carry the show on their own.  Plus it doesn't hurt that I find Aaron Paul is incredibly hot!

    Now, I just started The Wire but I am just not quite at the same place of love for the show like I am with Breaking Bad.  According to IMDB, The Wire is #2 in terms of highest rated TV series while Breaking Bad is #8 so I am giving The Wire a legitimate chance to win my love.

    Guilty Pleasure: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

    I have a love affair with reality t.v. And bad reality t.v. Don't get me started on how much I love Jersey Shore! But my recently found favorite that's kept my t.v. viewing busy for the past little while is the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I love the OC and Atlanta version so not much of a surprise I am digging this too.

    Iron Man 2

    I had a chance to watch Iron Man 2 and it was everything I expected it to be. Funny, full of action and celebrities. Very satisfying to see a movie that lives up to it's expectations. If you watched the first one, you know that there's an extra scene after the credits so stick around! If you miss it, google it and you can find it online.

    To top it off, we ate at the food court before instead of going to a restaurant and it was quite satisfying. I love me, my Taco Bell ;)

    I also got around to knocking out one of my to-do's. I deposited the chqs and started phase 1 of getting my car cleaned. Take that!

    Do you know what I can't wait for?

    THE HILLS! It's one of my favorite shows and Kristin Cavallari is the new star this season which means drama! I love it. I hardly care to watch for trailers but if you're a hills fan, go to mtv.ca right now and watch the trailer. Go!

    It's lame but I feel like schools about to start in a week and I am going to be reunited with my school friends.

    Ok, I am off to watch the interviews now....

    The Tube

    I am watching some Maury Provich right now. Trashy TV is a guilty pleasure. I remember when I was a young'n and I got to stay home because I was sick, I'd spend the day watching lots of talk shows and The Price Is Right. Remember the days of Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones, Maury Provich and Jerry Springer (but only if my mom wasn't around). Feels a little nostalgic watching it. The topic of the day is sexy makeovers titled Bringing Sexy Back. I love cheesy titles! Ooh, basically everybody is turned into a stripper.

    In other t.v. news, has anybody tried to watch Law & Order UK? It's frustrating because I have a hard time following the accent. I'll stick to my Law & Order SVU thank you very much.

    What is everybody watching now that most of their t.v. shows are on hiatus. I find I am hardly watching much t.v. now except for the occasional Canada's Next Top Model.

    I am excited


    that I can watch Project Runway Canada online at globatv.com. Last season you could watch it at slice.ca but not this season for some reason. Hey I rhymed! I like catching up on my shows on the weekend so discovering globaltv has episodes to view online is exciting! So I am getting ready for 3 hours of Project Runway.

    Learning to sew is on my long list of things I'd like to do and hearing some of the stories of self thought designers is inspiring.

    Cancelled Dinner Date = Watching 3 hours of Lost

    I am sure I am not the only one that is excited but the Lost season premiere is tonight!! 3 hours of Lost goodness!

    A friend canceled on dinner tonight. Normally I'd be a little disappointed but it means I get to spend the night with my ass glued in front of the t.v. watching Lost. There is a 1 hour recap episode and then the 2 hour season premiere. I originally wanted to reschedule when I found out my dinner date was on the same day as the Lost premiere but felt a little silly canceling for t.v.

    Also the other good news is that I am not out another $15-$20 by going out for dinner. huzzah.
