Rent “It’s Complicated”

How gigi-lala is this… I was invited to The Hazelton, Toronto’s only 5-star hotel, to eat white chocolate popcorn and see an advanced screening of It’s Complicated.  Not to be all braggy, but it was sick.

Top left is the screening room, click here for proper photos.  Cel signals are blocked in there, smart eh.

I adore Steve Martin, he’s on my ‘Top 5 Funniest People List’.  When I first saw “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” two summers ago I went around for weeks going OooookkkkkllllllhomaOklahomaOklahomaaaaaaaaa (link to 0:08 video).   It annoyed everyone.

Steve killed it, so did Alec Baldwin (I <3 Jack) and you just can’t stop looking at Meryl, eh.  It really is LOL funny and I predict a sequel, the ending just reeked of one.  I’ll be seeing it.

There’s a Facebook Widgit to see what kind of date you are (I’m Easy Peasy), and here’s the IMDB page.

Then I felt I had to even it all out by posting this TwitPic.

Hi, Good to See You Again!

You didn’t miss much, holy crap I crashed hard, zombie me and all that.  Still, not till a week ago was I 100% back to myself I can’t believe how long it took.  I won’t keep going when I get home from an event again, and I’ve decided to save our hockey gold episode to be released on Canada Day.

I have so much to tell you!  All in good time, I’m trying out a slower-and-steadier-pace thing.  It was really great to live like a normal person there, not documenting, no list in the back of my head everyday.

Grandma’s doing well, thanks kindly for the get-better wishes.  And if you have a couple minutes this week you could maybe call the oldest person you know to say hi, they’d like that.  I know sometimes they talk too slow and stuff, but maybe they’ll surprise you too. 

About the state of my show:

I’m very very glad I waited as long as I did to pick it up again because it’s genuinely fun again – blogging, producing videos… it wasn’t at all fun there for a while.  I completly shut it all down eh, like, for the first time in 6 weeks I scrolled to the bottom of my blog, was slow on email, slow at everything online. 

I was often asked, “is this the end of The Canadian Explorer” but not at all, opposite.  I kept the back-end going since I got home just not the front end, the stuff you see (videos and blog).  And if ever you wanted to cross your fingers for me it’s now.

For the past two weeks I’ve been building this secret project, including 15 videos, some photos.  If everything goes awesome you’ll be able to see it one day soon.  Sorry for the shroud of mystery but I must, plus you know how jinxy I am.

Most importantly now, thank you for the comments, emails and messages while I was gone; I didn’t realize that many of you cared for real; I was touched.
