andy samberg is a genius. i love snl, and i love andy! i hope to one day bear his children. he doesn’t know it yet. but one day he will.
i think i’ve been watching snl since i was little. i can vividly remember sleeping over at my cousins house when we were about 8 and staying up late to watch it! we were pretty bad kids clearly. and while the cast has changed a lot (obviously) it still manages to stay so fresh (and so clean-clean). i think this has a lot to do with the god that is lorne michaels, and my love for all things canadian. i can’t believe its in its 33rd season! (i just learned this whilst perusing the site).
what is your favourite late night show?
i can’t believe i’ve gone thus far without mentioning my favourite tv show of all time- arrested development!
the intricate story lines, the wittiness of it all. its really like a half hour of wonderment. why it was cancelled is beyond me, maybe people aren’t smart enough to follow it.
i remembered it because its on cbc right now! another reason i love the cbc a lot. really, i love anything canadian related (and michael cera aka george michael on arrested development is from brampton- woot woot), but the cbc is pretty much amazing. you can’t really get through canadian communication thought with andrew herman and think otherwise.

looking for a sick new band? you should look no farther.
in fact, they aren’t even new. i would even go as far as to say they are well-seasoned. why more people don’t know about them is beyond me.
i love the stars. a lot.
canadian indei music at its best my friends.
so dramatic. and intense. i think the best comment i ever heard about them was when my friend said to me, after listening to their newest cd in our bedroom after the war “i am so depressed and i don’t know why.” aren’t you ever in the mood to be beautifully depressed? that is what i would say the stars are to me. insightful lyrics, accompanied by somber music. female and male vocalists whose voices mesh so well together- its all something beautiful i can’t even describe.
(do yourself a favour- listen to the night starts here, take me to the riot, midnight coward, and don’t be afraid to sing. if i could have torquil campbell’s love babies i would. repeatedly)
what are you listening to? what is your favourite under rated band?
