All about the music....

I am a bit behind the times when it comes to buying music. Most of the music I have on my MP3 player came from CD's that I have. I don't really buy it online. Until today. I finally went on iTunes to find music. Mostly because it was from some cool routines from "So You Think You Can Dance" and didn't know where else to find it. I have decided that I actually like iTunes and may be more inclined to use it in the future. So yay!

Do a little dance...

Tonight was the season finale of "So You Think You Can Dance". To honour the occasion, I thought I would post my favourite dances from this past season (mostly because this is the only season I actually watched). So today's favourite things are the following dances from SYTYCD Season 5:

• Kayla and Kupono - Addiction: She is an addict, he is the addiction. Choreographed by Mia Michaels.


• Brandon and Jeanette - Ruby Blue. Choreographed by Wade Robson.
• Jeanine and Jason - If It Kills Me. Choreographed by Travis Wahl.
• Randy and Evan - The Butt Dance. Choreographed by Mia Michaels.
• Jason and Kayla - The Zombie dance. I have posted about it on my blog before you can find it here.

There are probably a bunch more but those are the routines that really stick out in my mind as being my absolute favourites.

Something that appeals to the TV addict in me...

Way back, when I first got into "The Office", I started visiting a website called "Give Me My Remote". I really enjoy it. It has got me into a bunch of shows that I may have never watched without it. The recaps amuse me and the writer has access to a lot of background info that really interests me. One of the things that she does is a podcast with another TV blogger from "Ducky Does TV". I had listened to one of their podcasts last year but that was pretty much it. They then started podcasting regularly this past season of "So You Think You Can Dance" which I tended to listen to more regularly. I enjoyed hearing what they thought of the particular dances. I also started to listen to their regular podcasts particularly if they were going to be talking about "True Blood". So today's favourite thing is the "TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky".

Bye-bye Bella!!!!

Today, my mom and my niece went home. It was nice having them visit but in some ways I was nice to have the house back to myself (oh, with Colette too of course). We dropped Bella and mom off at the airport quite early this morning. On the way home from the airport, I received a phone call from Bella saying that she missed me already. It was very sweet. I miss her already too. So today's favourite thing is how sweet my niece is (and knowing that I am one of her favourite aunties).

Downtown, everyone's going there.....

Today, we went downtown. Because it was a holiday, we didn't have to pay for parking so that was nice. The Busker festival was going on so we got to see some street performers. I nearly got a Henna Tattoo but didn't feel like waiting in line. We ended up walking over by the parliament buildings. We didnt' go on a tour because they were mostly sold out for the day but we got to see some of the architecture and statues that were around the buildings. I learned that my niece doesn't want her cousin to become Prime Minister because she would have to move to Ottawa and Bella would have to take a plane to see her. Shucks....Anyway, today's favourite thing is sightseeing (even though I have seen many of the sights before).

Chit-chat!!

Today, at work, I really managed to hurt my hand. I made a bit of a fuss about it when I got home and managed to wake up 2/3 of the house. My mom sat with me while I iced my hand and we had a good talk. It was nice to chat with her one on one while she was here rather than over the phone. So today's favourite thing is talking with my mom.

Sleepover!

My niece wanted to have a sleep over in my room before she leaves so we decided to have one tonight. It was quite interesting even though we never got to the sleep part before she decided to go upstairs to sleep with Grandma. I learned that her mommy supposedly has a crush on the guy that sold them their dog (and the Jonas Brothers!). I also learned who Bella has a crush on (Bella calls them her Loveboys). I am not supposed to tell anyone else because I crossed my heart that I wouldn't. It was nice to hear what Bella had to say and see how she views the world. So today's favourite thing is talking with my niece.
