i'm not George Bush

so lately at work there's been a lot of shit rolling down hill.
when i'm not wrong...i'm still wrong.
honestly it's getting old and frustrating beyond belief.

so calm down...take a pill...go get laid, honestly whatever it'll take and get the fuck off my back already.
i get it. the economy is shit right now and we're slow.
don't take it out on me. my name isn't George Bush.

ok i think that's enough bitching for now.

It's MTV funded...I'm sure they'll deliver!

why do i watch the hills? to vicariously live my life through the characters of course. sure my life is now where near the riches, drama, style, single life, engaged life, blonde flowing extensions, rock n'roll talent finding, birthdays on yachts with aggressive confrontations....but there are those 30 minutes a week or in last nights case a whole hour that take me to that place.

i know to some the show is considered a reality tv show but i think that if we were to properly name shows such as the hills they should be called....not your normal reality reality show. they've taken everything and made it bigger. the opinionated person you have in your life now all of a sudden is Kelly Cutrone, beers have turned to crystaal and petrone and we all have a beach house for the friend to live in.

I am fully hooked with the season of the hills already....what will happen?
-will Lauren & Heidi reunite and really become friends again?
-will Heidi & Spencer get legally USA married?
-will Bolthouse have to fire or demote Heidi again?
-will Lauren move to NYC to be with Whitney?....it could at least make the City more interesting
-will Audrena & Brody fall in love?
-will Justen Bobby be in this season much? I hope so!

So this is the last season with Lauren and Audrena...honestly it's time for them to move on. I'm hoping however this religiously watched 30 minutes on a monday doesn't turn into a shit show with no drama, no good characters and nothing interesting happening. I want the drama! I want the smut, the plastic surgery, the catty friends that will never be friends again! It's MTV funded...I'm sure they'll deliver.

Yes...I love this show. Don't mock. Don't laugh or point your fingers at me. We all have our own guiltly pleasures that we watch and listen to.

Until my next inspiration.....

ps. I love Brittany

the talk talk talker

ok so how many of you know the talk talk talker?
it's that one person or many people that no matter what the subject is they've got more than enough to say about it and all you want to do is turn around and say shut the fuck up!
come on friends....we're dealing here with starbucks customers, eager students, brides, BRIDEZILLAS, phone sales, professors, past people....all those people who wont stop talk talk talking....

i myself am tired of this listening to the talk talk talkers bit eventhough it is a vital part of my job.
sure i've had the .... THIS IS CANADA SPEAKING over and over again....yes ma'am / sir /boss / son...YOU'VE REACHED CANADA!!! this morning was a case of the man who calls and wont stop talking at all or listen to a response you may or may not have...at some point he did mention he left a message for a sales person...poor guy who'll have to listen to that message. so no i didn't write anything down...he was an auctioneer leaving a message on this human answering machine.... i zoned out and after a few mins realized he was finished and hung up. if it's important they'll call back...

tell me about your talk talk talker

shift it up

all right it's been a little stagnant around here lately so for a bit we'll see how long i'm changing this blog format up.

there may be theme days
well there will be...lets be honest with easy targets such as hump day & wineo wednesday how could any one resist.

so yes... i want your opinions.

i'll probably grow up to be like my mother

so it's pretty proven that we all become more and more like our parents as we get older. this last weekend my mom was down to visit and i will say its epic. now my mom and i like most mothers and daughters are so strong willed and could really fight with eachother all the time about anything and everything. but before she came i made the choice just to really let whatever disagreement came up go. i figured it's 4 days and then she goes home. it was pretty successfull. we had a great time. had a lot of laughs. we talked about a lot of the hard things that have happpend in our family in the last year. it was just really good.

so my mom truly brings new meaning to the word blinging. she's got her furcoat, fur and leather scarf (ok this is probably offending a few right now) haha....she's blinging with the rings and jewels and earrings and lipstick to the max. it's ALL out there. here she is this little 5 foot nothing fiesty red head really ready to take anyone down if she needs to. anyways she's cute. i mean for the first few days i looked at her and kind of made fun of her....mom what the hell are you wearing? etc etc etc... then i'm thinking well she's givin 'er. she's alberta money...looks a lot different than bc money.

i would confidently say that alberta is the texas of canada....we love those albertans but have no clue what to do with them. haha. anyways for years my grandma watched this daytime soap show called the young and the restless. my grandma Katie would always call my mom Mrs. Chancellor. because i forgot to take any pics of my mom when she was down here in all her dolled up glory i've include a visual of this Mrs. Chancellor. Put red hair on that woman and it's my mom.

So if you're looking for me in 40 years but you see something like this....you know what happend

the ban on Brown

so i'm driving home from work yesterday listening to the trust radio and i hear this announcement. Kevin whoever his name is says his boss and the head of communications or something are going to come on the radio and comment on the Chris Brown situation....geeez. ok so here's what i'm thinking about at this point? what freaking Chris Brown situation. Yes it's true. i'm lame and listen to the radio in my car....two reason...i don't have a cd player...i know i'm ancient and my ipod is broken and thus my transmitter has nothing to hook up to anymore. anyways....so the reason this whole Chris Brown "situation" perks my attention because a few days back i saw a little flash on tv about how he grew up in an abusive household. so yes....sad. but a lot of people do i'm thinking so to really publicize this i'm not sure why. I don't pay any more attention and just go along. then i'm in the car listening to the radio and this man with a lovely monochromatic voice comes on saying that they'll no longer be playing Chris Brown music on the radio until this situation is resolved. WHAT? now hear me this isn't about me being a Chris Brown fan or not. it's about a few things here. there's speculation that he abused his gf (famous Rhianna). the reason i'm saying speculation is because not too many of the stories i've heard or read match up at this point.

this is what i'm getting to...they're not playing his music because he beat up his girlfriend. wow. so now by not playing his music...all of the songs he's collaborated with another artist aren't playing as well. i think people should 100% be punished for their actions. but i also think there are so many things we turn a blind eye to because they're not the young and the famous.... there are tons of these things happening everywhere and they're going unnoticed. Chris Brown is loosing money from this... the last guy i knew who hit his gf went to work every day and pulled in great cash.

so is this a lesson to speak out? does it say it only matters who's speaking when it comes to speaking out? i don't know. I don't listen to Chris Brown anyways. I do however think the radio should be consistant with who they're "punishing" for what. what if we said....hey everyone driving a big ass truck or SUV we wont play your music until you stop because you're destroying the earth. or you don't recycle so we wont play your music....or you're amy winehouse....enough said.

and in conclusion i would really appreciate more lindsay lohan drama. way more interesting than this.

thinking about it doesn't do any good

a few things i've done and will think twice about doing again.....

1. leaving my gym clothes in the car while i'm at work all day. when you finally get off work and really unmotivated to be at the gym..putting on freezing cold clothes doesn't help the cause. for a second it wakes you up and then you realize i'm freezing cold and you know what the does to the nips and sports bras...damn nothing to hide there. soo...no women in spandex you're not turning me on i'm freaking cold and can't warm up. thanks anyways.

2. avoiding cleaning out the fridge...because it has to happen and the less things growing in the fridge the less smelly they are when you have to throw them out.

3. the constant breaking of wine glasses. dammit! i've mastered how to wash them without getting them to shatter but the whole just living in the same room as a wine glass hasn't worked out so well.

4. continually hitting the snooze button to be rushing out the door and realize....why the hell is there someone parked behind me?!?!? and be even more late

5. try to rub someones back or be there for them in the same room while they're barfing doesn't make them feel better...cause when i throw up too it just gets worse.

there are many things that could be added to this list. the saddest part of it all is that they've all happend more than once....why? cause i procrastinate and i'm forgetful. so much for next time

unmotivation & celibacy vows?

so lately i'm finding that i have no motivation to do anything. i don't know what it is. even the things i loved doing. not really loving them anymore. it's becoming frustrating but there's not too much i can do about accept keep on going.

on another note:

Katy Perry Was Just Kidding

BE interactive
Katy Perry says she was just joking when she made her vow of celibacy.

Katy Perry got a good laugh out of rumours circulating that she made a celibacy vow for the year.

In fact, she'd rather die than abstain from sex.

After her December split from Travis McCoy, the singer declared a vow of celibacy for a year and said wouldn't be kissing anyone but her cat.

"I am not going to be celibate. That was a joke, and any fine journalist would have got that. Please, celibacy for the whole year? I'd rather die," she stated to People.com.

well that's food for thought. i myself would probably be able to be celebate for a year rather than die. maybe thinking about all the celebacy rumours is where her dark dark lyrics came from

take a pill

so yesterday again i forgot my lunch again and rather than eating most things in the close area around me...which aren't healthy at all (yup i'm trying this health thing...we'll see how long it lasts), i jumped in my car and drove to what i thought was the nearest grocery store.. Extra Foods! i enter the parking lots and truly people....even though there is a right side and left side on the little streets...there's one lane. that's it. driving in the middle. and then when you try to turn and the on coming traffic is in the middle barly able to see over the steering wheel but still landing to you send you a nice glare....that's a good time. so i go in. its been awhile since i've been in this mall but you know what... i need a salad..anyways.

i get in the mall and no word of a lie it's a sea of almost dead people...just walking around like zombies. it's kinda like a two step shuffle and then freeze for a bit. so after dodging a few slower moving people than i've ever met before i make it to the check out. the lady in front of me has one of those voices...you know what i'm talking about...old lady screatching trembing voice...so she's going on complaing about how much pain she's in. "when i get home dear i'm gonna take a pill" i'm nosey so i look down at what she's buying....maybe 3 trays of cookies, bottles of pepsie, cheezies, pepperoni sticks, tang, ice cream....basically pure shit! and this lady wonders why she has pains. good lord.

then i think for a moment. how will i be when i'm older? did this woman diet all her life and now she's living it up while she can? all i know is that i really don't have any more sympathy for old people. if anything i'm more terrified than i ever was. my advice to the elderly....stay off the road...yes that means your gigantic cars, scooters, walkers...anything, take some vitamins, stay hydrated and maybe order meals on wheels. if i get old like this take me out the wilderness and leave me there

may the dark force be with me....

ok so after a few months of having our wii and really not playing it that much i bought phil a war game for christmas. you had to buy a gun to go with it and if you know phil...that just fits. so gun. check....war game check. hours upon hours have gone into him playing this game. i mean i thought it was alright....shooting things...you know. but then we're in Walmart and he spots the star wars Jedi - welcome to the dark force game. i can't quite describe what happend that moment cause i think i'm still processing it almost a week later. on sunday...all hell went out the window. our plans of doing anything. plans of him helping me do things..plans. gone. of course i'm getting frustrated because to me this all seems rediculous and the TV our wii is hooked up to has the HD cable box with it. so after 7 hrs straight of the dark force i'm pissed. i'm freaking out. and rather than turning it off or getting mad back he looks at me and says...hunny don't you understand that it's every guys dream to be a Jedi??? WHAT? ok so i'm not sure if he's just generalizing or what. but to him....as close as it ever will his dream of being a Jedi was coming true. so i'm not sure if this means if i've lost phil to the Jedi's, if i'm now married to a Jedi or a Jedi as well, or if i get myself a lightsabre and put my hair in buns if it'll make a difference.

regardless - starwars....enhancing or killing relationships one geeky Jedi at a time?

ENJOY MY $1 ASSHOLE!

ok so the gossip column will have to be put on hold...
i'm pissed
i woke up this morning and had zero motivation to get out of bed...this means i reset my alarm clock probably about 3 times
so finally with 10 mins left before i have to leave i jump out of bed and start getting ready.
i'm forgetting things everywhere....
such as now that i'm at work i realize our puppy Chico doens't have a training pee pad left out for him to pee on while we're at work. see the people upstairs do let him outside to pee but when he's gotta go he's gotta go so instead of going on the floor or the mats he uses the pad. i like this invention. however today in my hurry there isn't one put out for him and now when we get home there will probably be pee everywhere!
so i'm rushing around and get a few things together and leave for the day already knowing i'm going to be late for work....
really now being late for work for me doesn't matter much because my boss is almost always 30 mins late which gives me a lot of slack time in the AM.
anyways i go outside to my car...open the door and it's a disaster.
my glove box has been torn through...so there are all my little papers everywhere. everything has been rummaged through. the ash tray etc.
conclusion - my car was broken in to last night. i'm pissed. i go and call phil...he's shocked and asks me if i remembered to lock the house and i didn't so i go back in to lock the house and notice the people's SUV from upstairs' door is open....i look in and it's been broken into as well. i lock the house and call them to let them know. They're quite casual about it...which makes me wonder....am i over reaccting and paranoid now or are they suprisingly calm...suspcion. anyways. they come out and see nothings missing. they have like a $600 watch in their car and the idiots didn't take it.
i finally get into my car...really knowing i'm late for work now and i'm looking to see if anythings gone. now i notice it. i'm pissed. my cart loonie is gone! you know the loonie you have for when you go the grocery store and get a cart. it always lands up back in the same place... it's gone!

so person who broke into my car and stole my loonie this is what i have to say to you. You're an idiot! you're going to break into peoples cars and steal a loonie?!?! BIG SCORE!

so as always another shit thing happened to me. if it wasn't for bad luck i wouldn't have any but as always it could've been worse.

MTV & TMZ - what

alright well for those of you who i am completely honest with i love MTV, i love TMZ. i mean there may be some of you who are like WTF katie....really katie really. here's the thing, we've all got our own vices and this is mine. sure i love sitting down and aimlessly watching whatever crap is put before me. why do i love reality tv so much? because it's incredibly unrealistic. wanna depress me and suck me in?..turn on CSI, Greys Anatomy, Ugly Betty.....all these admittedly scripted shows that are just shit. ok that's a little harsh i know. but what i'm getting too with this is that i don't want to watch tv to have to figure something out or emotionally get involved in a made up characters life...Do I really want to care if Meredith lands up with McDreamy? Do I care if Horatio finds the rapist in the end? NO! i want mindless entertainment. and i get it.

so if i land up at home every night or i could here is my current tv line up...

Monday - Bromance (Brody Jenner making boys cry and let out there emotions ) 3.5 stars
- The City (Fashion and the hills isn't on. I need another Spencer or Justin -Bobby so thank you Jay for being the emotionally stunted, musician, confusing ass we knew you would be)

Tuesday - The After Show (because they're as opinionated as I am... I wish i could get paid for my opinions too)

Wednesday - Parking Wars (wow....Americans! Pretty much your plain stupidity can keep me busy for hours)

Thursday - nothing yet. i'll keep you posted if that changes

Friday - What not to Wear (well who wouldn't want to watch people cry when their clothes get thrown away & learn how to tweeze their eye brows)

Saturday & Sunday - usually all of the above will probably be on a rerun at somepoint. this time is also reserved for Specials such as some uncut brittany or documentaries aired on 'E'


Ok so if you're sitting there reading this right now and thinking i'm retarded you should think about you're watching....let me know and then the conversation can go from there.
