>Sweet lord, I didn’t realize how much I missed Jimmy Ray until I stumbled upon this little jem of a song.
What a perfect tune to pump up your Friday, the last of November.
Hope you guys all have an amazing weekend and don’t forget that if you are going to some xmas parties, please don’t drink and drive. It’s not what Jimmy Ray would want.
Oh and don’t forget to vote for the Canadian Blog Awards!

Look, I’ve been pretty quiet about the crappiness that is Peachtree TV. You know, the shitty replacement of TBS for those of us on the West Coast, with the shitty graphics and annoying commercials about going to college to a secretary. But tonight while I was watching the Friends thanksgiving episodes marathon, I decided that I had enough. This horrific station makes OMNI and the A channel seem like HBO. And not even HBO Canada, like the real HBO. That is some quality television!
So what finally pushed me over the edge?
Twister. No not the semi-erotic board game, I’m talking about the equally semi-erotic tornado movie starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton from 1996.
During my Friends marathon (the show, not my actual friends, we both know I do not have enough friends to hang out with me that would resemble anything close to a marathon), Peachtree TV started off every commercial break with the big news that Twister would be making it’s Peachtree TV premiere this weekend with a showing this Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. They kept advertising it like we all hadn’t seen it 15 times and seemed to ignore the fact altogether that the movie came out 12 years ago (the same year Dolly the sheep was cloned).
Look peachtree tv. I have put up alot with you. You took away my Dawson’s Creek early morning marathons, you are the only network still showing the horrendous Still Standing, My Boys is nowhere to be seen and you play Seinfeld at every possible opportunity. But acting like showing Twister three times this weekend like it is something to be proud off?
No, no I can’t accept that. No one needs that much Bill Paxton in their life.
Screw you Peachtree TV.

I’m hearing grumblings that Britney might be making a stop in Calgary for her new world tour on April 4th, 2009.
Nothing confirmed yet…….

Christmas is getting closer and closer, which means that over the next couple of weeks your company will hopefully be hosting their annual Christmas party. The yearly ritual is a time for you and your co-workers to get together and celebrate your companies success and hopefully dance the night away.
I’ve actually been lucky (and in some cases unlucky) enough to have worked the Christmas party business the last three years and I have seen the highs and lows of many of Calgary’s biggest and best parties. Which is why I thought I would help everyone out by coming up with a list of the things you shouldn’t do at your staff Christmas party. No matter how risky your financial portfolio has become over the past couple of months.
1. Respect the Open Bar. Many people think an open bar means drink as much as you can, as fast as you can. Pace yourself. You are not teenagers and your parents are not out of town. An Open Bar is a think of beauty that is to be enjoyed all night long, not just until you start throwing up before dessert is even served. Also important, don’t start doing shooters until the bosses leave. Don’t worry, they know to not overstay their welcome.
2. If your Christmas Party has a professional photographer, get your picture taken as soon as you can. Because after a night of drinking, dancing and eating, you will never look as good as you do the minute you take off your coat.
3. It’s work party. Nobody wants to talk about work. This is however the perfect time to talk to that co-worker you’ve always shared the elevator with but never said hello.
4. When your server asks you if you have any dietary concerns or allergies, the correct answer is not: “Yes, I can only eat steak and lobster.” That is an annoying answer, especially because servers will hear it 27 more times that same night.
5. When your bosses announce at the party to “relax, have a great time and celebrate this festive season.” What they actually mean is that this isn’t really a party to them, more like a meeting with wreaths where they can see how you really act. Don’t make an ass of yourself, your boss is watching, they are always watching.
Follow these simple rules and not only will you have a great Christmas party, you will also have a job to go back to on Monday.
>I don’t want to tell you what I had to do or how long it took me to figure it out, but I am finally getting some of my Breakfast Television clips online!
Phew!
This is the one from this past Monday. I’m hopefully going to get the rest up over the next couple of weeks!

For the love of god. Who the hell would buy a Knight Rider GPS?!?
>LOST=Awesome
The Fray=Awesome (except in concert)
The Fray + Lost=
This promo rivals the famous Grey’s Anatomy season 3 promo that also featured The Fray. Remember that one? I think this new LOST promo might actually be better because the show is on such a hot streak. And with only 32 episodes left, this season is going to be, well, AWESOME.
The Fray’s new song is called You Found Me and can already be downloaded on Itunes!
UPDATE: In case you can’t see it. Click here.

Look, I love me some How I Met Your Mother, but does it ever creep anyone else out how much Ted (Josh Radnor) tells his kids about how he actually met their mother?
Take last night’s episode for an example, could you imagine your dad telling you that he once hooked up with a random girl by waiting in her living roommate naked?!
Maybe there will be a spin-off, How my kids ended up in therapy.
>Very Exciting News!
The premiere date of the third season of the BEST SHOW on Television, Friday Night Lights, was announced today!
It’s already been playing on the pay channel DirectTV, but starting on January 16th, the rest of us will be able to watch it on peasant-vision
That means that you almost two months to go out and buy the first two seasons and fall in love with this practically perfect Football drama.
Need more proof?
I just said that a football drama was practically perfect.
Also, I am due for a little respect for the title of this blog alone.
Check out this sex-tacular promo for the third season.
