One Week

After much hassle and tassel I finally got a week off from work. Mind you it is unpaid but hey it allows me to get my creative juices going. Lately I have had very little time to just sit and either work on Photoshop or edit. This week I'm going to clean the house, spend some much needed time with friends, read, edit, apply to school and work on my new Calendar entrepreneur business.

As I have mentioned before I love Photoshop, and was originally going to school for graphic design, but I didn't agree with the school, so in the end I didn't end up attending. However that doesn't mean I still don't dab in it a bit. In high school I created a 'Chuck' calendar and was astonished at how many people wanted one. The problem is the shows creative department won't attend to the needs and wants of the fans. So as a fan myself I have decided to create calendars, t-shirts and sweater ideas. Of course however apparently I have to get my ideas copyrighted. My only question is the fact that the show is copyrighted, so if I copyright my idea based on the show can I get slammed with a law suit? Either way this week I'm contacting companies such as FOX, NBC and ABC to ask them about legal issues as well as

copyright companies to figure out the cost. Some of the shows are Chuck, Fringe and Castle. So far in my blog I have mentioned both Chuck and Fringe, however just two weeks ago I finally cracked of boredom and decided to check out this show Castle my friends were talking about, and believe it or not its FANTASTIC!

"He’s famous. He’s gorgeous. He’s smart as hell. He is mystery novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), and he’s hot on the trail of real world criminals. ‘Why,’ you ask? Because he’s got nothing better to do.

Bored with his own success, Castle shadows the every move of NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic). She’s an aggressive detective who keeps her investigations under tight rein, and her feathers are oh-so-ruffled by Castle’s presence (in spite of the fact that she’s secretly a huge fan.) Amid incessant sexual tension and constant close talking, this flirtatiously-charged duo builds on their mixed-up relationship as they look to solve strange homicides in New York. Kids, this is as much fun as one can possibly have with death and murder!" The show is filled with the right dose of creative humor, sexual tension, and action to keep any crowd happy.

Here is my Castle Calendar so far:

With this week off there are endless possibilities.

Long Time

Its been a LONG time since I have written on here. But I don't want to bore you with unimportant nonsense of my life. So I write when things that are AMAZING and important to me happen.

Today was the People's Choice Awards and after voting for the past couple months I was actually quite happy with the winners this year. From the amazing show Dexter winning favourite TV show obsession which it truly is with Michael C Hall and Julia Styles making this past season the most emotional and suspenseful season so far. Toy Story 3 winning favourite family movie, bringing back all those amazing childhood memories with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Also House MD which had a terrific time this year as always winning favourite TV Doctor, TV Drama, TV Drama Actor and TV Drama actress.

Although there was several awards that I did not agree with such as Grown Ups winning over Easy A. Poor choice. I mean who doesn't love watching Emma Stone sing Pocketful of Sunshine all weekend.

Lie to Me winning over Bones. The most astonishing however, although it really shouldn't be is that Twilight Saga: Eclipse won so many awards! Yes it was a good movie, the best out of the three, but Inception was way better with its editing, graphics and actors not to mention the storyline! Although I adore Kristen Stewart for he horror movies and shy personality but she IS awkward. Don't let her speak again on stage it makes ME feel embarrassed for her.

Now saving the best for last. As I wrote in my last blog post Fringe is my new Star Wars, LOST, Chuck, Superman, Mario, all my addictions x10, and if you know me you know this is HUGE. My main purpose for voting was to give Fringe a chance, which I had my doubts would win, but it seems the fans succeeded once again for FRINGE to win the 2011 PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS FAVOURITE SCIFI/FANTASY SHOW! Over everything that has happened in my life these past couple months this is my biggest and most exciting news. Now mind you I didn't see them win the award unfortunately I was pushing carts in -10 degree Celsius weather, but I was sooo stoked to hear about the news, and so extremely proud of the actors who seem so down to earth and caring about the fan base. Not to mention Joshua Jackson is Canadian. Have to support my Canadians, sorry American readers.

On a side note as I normally do I will put a little whisper in your ear about a new show, much like J.J Abrams Alias series, but with more humor I have currently found and watched this past summers new action/comedy series. From the producer of the Bourne Trilogy come Covert Affairs on the USA channel. Its full of comedy, action, romance, and instantly won the hearts of its viewers with great reviews and Golden Globe Nominations. Its the perfect new action series.

Well that's all I have for you. But I promise I'll visit more often to update you on the production of my short film 'My Retributions'

Legen wait for it.... DARY!

Lost, Star Trek, Alias, Cloverfield, Mission Impossible 3. Who is the director, creator and writer of these terrific accomplishments? Well obviously someone with great talent, which narrows my list down to about 3 people. If you guessed J.J. Abrams then your CORRECT! This 44 year old mastermind just so happens to have created some of the best media creations in our time. With his twist and destiny for everything he does he has now come upon his 3rd season of in my opinion one of his best creations yet. Hint: Its teleportation, reanimation, mutation, astral projection, etc.

The answer is (drum roll please) FRINGE! This Sci-fi extravaganza has taken people off their feet and dropped their jaws into a parallel universe of something called Fringe science. Where nothing is ordinary but extraordinary. 'The story revolves around three of the most unlikely allies- a young, beautiful and determined FBI agent, a brilliant scientist who has spent the last 17 years in a mental institution and his sardonic and roughish son - as they investigate a series of bizarre deaths and disasters known as 'the Pattern.' The three begin to suspect that someone is using the world as a laboratory. And many clues lead them to Massive Dynamic, a shadowy global corporation that may be more powerful than any nation.'



As your reading your probably thinking that this is not your type of show. Now I come from a christian family but my parents still like a little action and mystery too their lives. This is a cop show twisted with science and everything you have never seen before. Relax one night, watch it online or even on Saturday nights at 11c on Fox. This show will blow your mind, just as it has for millions of viewers.

Twitter School

So recently I been really getting hooked on Twitter, and its so addicting especially when you are getting contacts in the film industry. My method? I am going to continuously tag them in my tweets and hopefully they will get the point. However with my decision to not go to school this year (which was quite heartbreaking) I know feel like I'm doing nothing with my life. I researched schools only a year long too save time and now I am on my 2ND year off from school, go figure. However in the end it came down to my trust in the school, unfortunately Toronto Film School was not very organized or in my opinion qualified. Changing the start dates without telling me, course description but I guess you can do that when your not government funded. As of now I am leaning towards Humber or Sheridan college here in Ontario however the courses are 3 -4 years. If I knew what I was doing last time I could be in my second year and almost done if not half way through. I just learned however that New York Film School, which apparently celebrities send their kids there for a degree, is coming to Toronto this Sunday and Monday for a question and answer period, I am thinking about going. The problem is the school is so expensive.

Any ideas?

Chuck Season 4!

Its the time of year again when my favourite nerdy yet epically fantastic show comes out with its 4Th season! It comes out Today!!! Monday September 20Th 8/7c on NBC! Here is a season 4 promo to get you interested and excited!



Also here is one of my fan-made videos. It just shows how overly school girl crazy I am about this show



Watch! And see what my fantasy's are all about.

Check In

As always its been a while since I have written, but don't get me wrong I've been reading..... lots.
About a month ago I finished a 2 book series, currently a third one in the making by Maggie Stiefvater with her fantastic creative skills in her brilliant novel Shiver and its follow up novel Linger.

Shiver: "For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human... until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human—or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever."

This novel you may mistaken for another rendition of Twilight, without the vegetarian vampires. However I found it too be much more interesting, with no connection to Stephanie Meyers transformation and existence of werewolves. The existence of these werewolves in Shiver makes you think that if there really were werewolves in existence this is probably how they would have come about.

To take a turn of events now I am reading The Bad Place by Dean Koontz, and although I love all of Dean Koontz' books I must say this one is oddly weird. I am only about 100 pages into the novel but so far I have found a cannibal, a man who has no idea who he is but always finds blood on his hands when he wakes up from sleep, and two twin girls who has an odd way with the animals. To make this book even crazier apparently they are all related, with some kind of super powers. When did Dean's books become all about the supernatural?

To add in a little interesting facts, yesterday about 50 celebrities went up for bidding to raise money to build houses for the less fortunate. So far the highest I've heard is $6,600 and that was this morning for my favourite actor Zachary Levi from 'Chuck.' The prize? Believe it or not the only prize is to be followed on Twitter by the celebrity you buy for 90 days. Is it worth it? I don't think so, but then again if your rich and have $6600 to spend, why not waste your money.

What are some of the books you have read recently? And whats your view point on the crazy celebrity bidding?

Random Workings

Hiddy Ho there neighbour! Its been a while, but hey what can I say I just don't find anything inspiring anymore. I guess that's what happens when life gets in the way. These past couple months have been stranger than usual. I'm finding I don't have my same bounce as I once did, which in a way is startling me. What does that mean? Am I maturing?!! Never. Mature people don't become boring, they just stop talking about things that once they thought funny, but really is juvenile. It almost feels like I just pass through the days instead of living them. I mean I am hanging out with friends, but for some reason that just doesn't do it. I keep thinking back to this past winter, when everything was peachy! I loved life, I was happy at work and with everyone at work. There was no problems in the world. It was truly great! Why did it stop?

Today things seemed brighter......I thought, but a friend just came back to work and noticed I wasn't myself. Hmmmm I thought I was doing better. If he noticed that, what has everyone else been noticing? We were just talking and he got me thinking. What is it that has changed? Is it the fact that I have to go to school soon? That my future is not in focus? Or that I will be losing my best friends to school again? It almost feels like at this moment in time that when I do go away to school that everything and everyone that I met this past year will just disappear and seem like a figment of imagination. Who knows right?

On a happier note, I loved my stay in Newfoundland and every morning when I get up I keep wishing that when I step outside I would be smelling salt water instead of freshly cut grass. However if I get what I want in life I should be moving down there in a few short years. Give me time to get my career started and on its way.

This weekend I will be going to the Fan Expo here in Toronto. I'm excited! It should be a blast! I will make sure to keep you posted. Also there is a photo contest at work that I am going to enter into. Send your good luck vibes!!
