Funny Commercial - From the Radio This Time

Hey There!

So I decided that I want to write about yet another funny (and also dumb and disturbing) commercial, but this time from the radio. This one is from McDonald's, one from their series of commercials about mornings being tough. So it starts out with this girl being all like "When I woke up this morning, I had nothing to wear." Then this CREEPY little girly ghost-ish voice goes "NUH-thing to WEA-ar." Then the woman decides to call in to work sick - of her wardrobe. To which the voice replies "That's a good IDE-a." And it goes on and both people say a couple more things and then the McDonald's people talk about mornings being easier with McDonalds or something. The thing I don't get is, what does this girl ghost chick have to do with a lady who doesn't know what to wear to work? Odd.

Let's Talk About Universities For A Sec

Hey All

As most of you know, I have applied to universities for this coming fall. And since I am now on the blog train (drop it like it's hot), I have decided that this would be a good venue to hear your advice, comments, and whatever. Most of you all have done this before and I am really confused as to what I'm gonna do. So I've applied to Guelph, Waterloo and Ottawa. Here's a bit more about what programs I've applied to at each place and such.

U of Guelph

Naturally, this one would be the easiest since I happen to live in Guelph. I would likely live at home, at least for one year, but there is also the possibility of living in an apartment with Stephy and possibly others, perhaps the one that my cousin Lee-Ann has in her basement near the south end (fyi closer to the school, walking distance, if you're up for a long-ish walk). I do love Guelph, and one big bonus to staying here is that I'd be close to some of my friends, family and extended family. And I could maybe borrow a car every now and again, which would be cool. I could also keep my job, but it is transferable, so that's not my biggest concern. I know the campus somewhat and some ppl that go there. On the downside, I don't desperately want to go there, and I feel like I might never get out of this town if I go there. As much as I love Guelph, I don't know that I want to be stuck here for four more years. The program I've applied to is called Child, Youth and Family. It's an applied science degree, which is kinda cool, and by some coincidence or twist of fate or God thing, the only science requirement is OAC biology which by some miracle I happen to have (I only got a 63%, but hey, it's still a credit). It seems to be to be a sort of family studies/social science/counselling kind of bent to it, which is cool. There are definitely jobs in this field I can see myself doing, so thumbs up on that. Oh, and I haven't been accepted to Guelph yet. That's a minor detail however (haha).

U of Waterloo

This is the one and only school that I have been accepted to thus far. I think I may have got early acceptance but I'm not too sure on that. I would not likely live in Waterloo but either buy a car or find someone to commute with. I like the buying a car option best because it would mean. . .well, that I would have a car. Which I would use to come visit all of you, as well as get myself to school. I would live at home likely. Maybe in an apartment with some friends. The sucky part with that is that I wouldn't be as much a part of campus life as I would like to be, but rez is way too expensive. Sorry but $6000+ is not a good deal, even if food is included. I would just have to try my best to be involved and meet people and do social things with school mates. I think it would be ok. The commute would be a drag at times I'm sure, but I actually like driving and it's not too long. Here I have been accepted(yay!) to an Honours Bachelor of Arts. It's a lot of fun because there aren't many requirements, so I get to take courses that interest me. I am totally an artsy fartsy so it's a good fit. I am having a hard time picking classes because there are like 30 I want to take! Hopefully that will work itself out. I have some friends who go here as well, and it seems to be pretty highly regarded, plus I'd be able to chill with some old EBC friends, so that's groovy. I'd also not be far from home. Not much else to say about U-dub.

U of Ottawa

I must say, at first I just applied to this school to humour April and Emily, but now it seems like a pretty good deal. I have a few friends who already live in the Wa (half of the fab four know where it's at), plus a few friends who are planning on moving (and already have moved to, stupid dumbass Michelle) there in the near future. Once again, I likely wouldn't live in rez but in an apartment with friends. That would be super fun, although I'm not sure how much homework I'd get done. This would be the most expensive choice, which is why I have considered only staying one year and then getting a transfer to Guelph or something. That would be dependant on the financial situation as it were. This would be the farthest from home, which wouldn't be horrible, just a little more difficult in some ways. Here I have also applied to general arts, although I don't know if it was honours arts or not. Similar to Waterloo as far as the program goes, although I haven't been accepted here yet either. That's it for the Wa.

So let me have it. Show me what you've got. I'm open to suggestions, criticisms, ideas, whatever. Hope to hear from you soon.

A New Idea I Had

Hey All

Guess what? Since I am now on this funky blog train (drop it like it's hot), I have this idea. When I come on to post, I will ask one or maybe three question that I expect each and every one of you who view my blogs to answer. Ok? So here I go.

Who makes your desert island list? As in, what 11 people will you have on your desert (but yet comfortable and safe, with all your necessities provided) and what 5 material possesions are there with you?

I will answer this question myself once a sufficient number of people have answered.

Funny Commercials

I feel like writing about a series of commercials that have been amusing me as of late. I don't even know what they're advertising, but I like them still. The first one shows some people working out, some sort of exercise class, and someone talks about getting great abs, and suddenly the dude who is teaching the class goes 'You don't have time to work out! Your taxes are due!'. The other one at first looks to be a cooking show, and the shef is talking about the best knives, and then he goes ' Why are you watching TV? You have to do your taxes!'. They amuse me. Is anyone else with me on that?

What is with British hats???

Hello Again.

Just a little while ago I was watching the Royal Wedding (which actually wasn't a wedding at all . . . so let's call it the royal ceremony then) . . . watching the Royal Ceremony with my mother. That kind of stuff floats her boat. And almost the first thing I noticed was the HORRIBLE hats that ppl kept wearing. They were UGLY . . . FUGLY, even. If they weren't wearing a tree branch on their head, it was a tea cozy, or something that belonged in the 1940's version of Cabaret. Seriously, what is up with that? I have never been much of a hat girl myself, but why do ppl thingk these hats are stylish? They make me want to cringe. Please, someone tell me what is up with this

This One's For You April

Hey all (or just April, who is likely the only one who will ever even look at this)!!

April handed me all the necessary details for getting back on the blog train (drop it like it's hot yo), so here I am. I am pleased to see that April gave Rent a little nod in her blog. I saw the same touring cast she did and it was AMAZING. If you have not seen RENT yet, you truly have not lived fully enough. Especially Roger in that cast. All I can say is this - who else can make horrible purple plaid pants and a baggy green shirt look that HOTT?? I'm not normally one for boys in nail polish but DAMN! So good. Plus he had a fantastic voice and coveyed just the right amount of anger and gentleness to play his part very convincingly. If any of y'all are keeping up with American Idol, you'll know Constantine, who just so happened to play Roger when I saw RENT with my awesome cousin Nate-o. Nate didn't like him so much, I dug, but this year's guy was way better. Too bad his band Sugardust supremely blow. Meh well that boy was made for Broadway anyway. Besides the fact that Roger was jump-worthy, I also completely and totally love the story contained in RENT. It has such a wide variety of characters and situations and the writing is absolutely genius. I think if I could have dinner with 10 people dead or living, Jonathan Larson would be right there with Jesus. RENT definitely has a place in my heart, and with good reason. SEE IT. Just trust me on that one. Oh, and for those of you who think you could 'never be a theatre person' a la Joannne, you'll be happy to know that a movie version is in the works with many of the original cast members. I only hope it doesn't royally suck and that they do this creative masterpiece justice. Ine question April . . . what's wrong with the trecaly ending (or whatever it is you said)? What does trecaly even mean??
