January sales driving me nuts

by

I keep getting emails and flyers from local companies about huge January sales. Usually I try to ignore these kinds of things, especially since we don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on things that we don’t really need, but as you probably know, the sales at this time of year are well, spectacular, so it’s hard to ignore some of the sales that I’m seeing!

I really want a flip camcorder so I keep drifting over to websites to check out prices on the one that I want … then for some reason I look at the video games like psp and xbox kinect. I don’t know why .. I mean, I already have a wii and I don’t use it as much as I should so why am I looking at other video games? LOL

Do sales attract you? By this I mean do they make you look even if you know you probably won’t buy anything?





If Canada has an oil well blowout it’s going to be very bad

by

This evening I’m taping a documentary on CBC about the Gulf Oil Spill. Apparently the documentary questions whether we here in Canada are about to have our own Offshore Accident off the coast of Newfoundland.

The Doc Zone documentary is called Blowout: Is Canada Next? and I’m sure we’re going to find it very interesting. I didn’t know this, but if there is an emergency on the Chevron (Canada’s deepest well off the coast of Newfoundland) it would take 11 days for ships to reach the spill. Now that’s scary isn’t it?

Here’s a quote from the Doc Zone page for the Blowout Documentary:

Just weeks after the Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf, Chevron began drilling Canada’s deepest oil exploration well off the coast of Newfoundland. Located 430 kms from shore, the Chevron well is twice as deep as BP’s Deepwater Horizon well, six times further out to sea, and in much rougher seas. In the event of a blowout, it would take 11 days for emergency response ships to even reach the spill. An oil blowout off the coast of Newfoundland would decimate the world’s last remaining Atlantic cod fishery, along with several species of whales, seals, turtles, coral habitats and seabirds that feed in the basin. These rich and fertile seas are the backbone to Newfoundland’s tourism industry. An oil spill would create dead zones within the ocean and potentially devastate this economic mainstay that brings in over 1 billion tourist dollars annually.

The documentary is on CBC News world at 10 pm if anyone is interested in watching.

Just a lazy Friday night

by

I’m feeling lazy tonight. I’m watching TV with my husband and as you can probably tell if you read my last post I’m feeling a little lazy .. I don’t want to cook dinner.

I taped the movie The Runaways last night and we’re watching it now. It just got to the part where the band was in Japan and Dakota Fanning as Cherie came out in lingerie on the stage. It’s the beginning of the end for Cherie I think. Good movie so far.

I grew up with the music of the Runaways and Joan Jett so the movie is bring back some memories.

Survivor is getting interesting – sort of

by

Have you been watching Survivor this season?

I have and I’ve just been shaking my head at how all of the alliances change from one episode to the next.

I don’t know why, but this season – Survivor Nicaragua- is one where I really don’t have a favorite character. In fact, I don’t really like any of the people in this season’s Survivor.

Everyone is just back stabbing every one. I don’t know … I just don’t like it when people play the game that way. I keep waiting to see if one of the two individual immunity idols will get played – they’re kind of like cheap life insurance in survivor. I Know Brenda was hoping that Sash was going to give her his idol in tonight’s episode to save her – but of course he didn’t. I knew he wouldn’t.

So for those of you who are watching Survivor .. what do you think? Is the winner going to be another woman? It’s been a female winner the last several seasons.

Do you believe it when Celebrities endorse products?

by

When I’m not feeling well in the evening I tend to stay up late watching TV and doing things on my computer.

Usually I watch TV channels that play either old comedy shows or animations like The Simpsons and South Park when I’m late. I guess the humor and perhaps the familiarity of the reruns makes me feel a little better when my body is not making me feel so good.

One thing I’ve noticed is that sometime after midnight the channels that play all these old rerun shows tend to have a lot of mini-infomercials and acne treatment commercials. Of course each acne commercial sweats that theirs is the top acne treatment and they always seem to have a celebrity endorsing the product.

I have to wonder if the celebrities endorsing products like acne and skin care treatments really have ever tried the products. I mean, their skin is so clear. I suppose they do use something, but I’m sure they all have dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons giving them special skin treatments as well. What do you think? Do you believe celebrity endorsement of products?
