Whatever!

It's the last day of November, which means tomorrow is the first of December, which means you have 23-shopping days left until Christmas and don't think for a minute the stores will let you forget it!



The less-than subtle brainwashing of millions to 'give the perfect gift' is well underway and I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get a little nauseous.



I use this bit every Christmas to try to suggest a new way of thinking for our mass-consumer culture. I'm quite guilty of it, but also see a deep need for us to give back in some kind of way, because we live in a world of plenty, and then some.



If you don't give the charity any other time of year, this is the perfect way to do it.



There are loads of worthy organizations out there that can do lots of wonderful things with your hard-earned money, and instead of buying another sweater, toy or gadget that will only be used a couple of times, you can actually change someone's life.



There's one organization in particular that you might like. Oxfam Canada has an amazing website where you can point and click on some really great and affordable things to help out needy people on the other side of the world.



For as little as $15, you can buy a family a live chicken, which doesn't sound like much, but to someone with nothing, they'll be trained in poultry production and learn how to care for the animals so they can sustain themselves in the long-run with food and a means of income.



How cool would it be to buy your uncle a goat this year, or your spouse a donkey? Instead of getting that person on your Secret Santa list a bunch of bath beads, you can pay for programs to teach men and women how to break the cycle of domestic violence and workshops on how women can become more empowered.



If you want to find out more, just log onto www.oxfamunwrapped.ca and see how you can truly make a positive change in someone's life on behalf of a friend or loved-one.



You might also be surprised how honoured that person is to receive such a thoughtful gift this year.



But Whatever!

50 Smartest People In Hollywood

Here's an "Entertainment Weekly" list of the 50 Smartest People In Hollywood.
Among other criteria:
1) Every person on the list had to be smart not just in general, but smart right now. They had to be leading the industry forward in some way, today.
2) The list would be about the movie business only. (We'll do a Smartest People in TV list, too, next year).
3) The list would represent a broad range of intelligence in the movie business – not just the suits and the stars, but the composers and the costume designers, too.
4) "Smart" could mean many things. It encompasses books smarts and street smarts, financial genius and emotional intelligence. We weren't interested in IQ

1. Judd Apatow, director/writer/producer
2. Steven Spielberg, director/producer

Mr. Skin's Top List

MrSkin.com has released its annual list of the Top 20 Nude Scenes of the Year.

Here are the top 5 . . .

#1.) MARISA TOMEI, "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"
#2.) (British model) KEELEY HAZELL, "Cashback"
#3.) NATALIE PORTMAN, "Hotel Chavalier" . . . (--A short flick that acts as an intro to the new Wes Anderson movie, "The Darjeeling Limited".)

Worst Cars of the Year

It's NOT a good day for the people at Chrysler. "Forbes" just put out its
fourth annual list of the WORST cars of the year . . . and Chrysler
manufactures every single car in the top FIVE.

The rankings are based on four main factors: The number of recalls . . .
"Consumer Reports" reliability rankings . . . deprecation . . . and crash
test ratings. Other factors, like cost and fuel efficiency, are a smaller
part of the rankings.

The five worst cars of the year are, in order: Chrysler Sebring, Dodge
Nitro, Jeep Liberty, Dodge Caliber and Dodge Magnum. Chrysler, Dodge and
Jeep are Chrysler's three brands.
The Sebring finished as the worst car mostly because of SIX recalls this
year . . . from things like malfunctioning airbags and poor engine cooling.

Overall, eight of the 10 worst cars are American made.
After those five Chrysler-made cars, the rest of the list, in order, goes:
Ford Crown Victoria, Chevrolet Aveo, Nissan Quest, Hyundai Entourage and
Pontiac Grand Prix.

Today's Survey

A new whitepages.com survey reveals 31% of people would feel slighted if
they did not receive a holiday card from someone they sent a card too. Other
findings:

- 43% of people have trouble finding cards they actually like
- 39% of people have a hard time getting motivated to tackle the project
- 35% of people cannot think of something to write
- 34% of people struggle to mail them out in time

Judging by your response yesterday to our conversation about a recent Toronto District School board study, this topic is far from over.



To bring you up to speed, the TDSB asked grade 7-to-12 students questions about themselves and what they think of their schools and the education system.



On the positive side, most students said they feel safe in their schools, but with 7-in-10 students being non-white, they felt ethnically left-out of the curriculum.



Most of those students said if there was more cultural programming they could identify with, they'd probably do better in school and like coming to class more.



I haven't been in high school for quite some time, so I'm not sure what's going on these days, but I do remember history being quite generic and forgettable, even though I loved the topic.



And talking with morning show super assistant Renee, who's only a few years removed from high school, she brought up an interesting point. The problem isn't necessarily the curriculum, which I think we can all agree needs an update, but more the teacher and how they present the topic.



Some people naturally love and get math and science, while others get and love history and English.



Being someone who never fully comprehended math, I found it incredibly frustrating and failed several times. That was until I went to summer school and found the best math teacher ever who presented all the equations and long division in a way I got.



The same thing goes for history. If a teacher is just going to stand-up at the front of the class and spew a bunch of dates without putting them into context of how they relate to us today, who cares? Students don't get why it should mean anything to them.



I firmly believe there's room in Canadian history lessons to include the many things immigrants have contributed to this country over generations.



While I'm all for getting to know each other and everyone's culture, the simple fact is we are in Canada and we need to know about this country before anyone else’s.

So, I came into work on Monday, proud of myself and bragging to everyone in the studio about how I downloaded music from the internet, all by myself.



You may recall several months ago when I tried doing this for the first time, paid money for songs, downloaded them, but they weren't compatible or something with my MP3 player.



Well, instead of quitting, I gave it another shot!



I was so pleased to find a website over the weekend with all kinds of tunes on it that I could easily point, click and download into my MP3 program.



Everyone in the studio laughed at me like 'this is nearly 2008...We've been doing that for years!"



But for me, Little Miss Technophobe, it was a big deal.



So imagine how totally heartbroken I was to rush home yesterday to listen to the newly transferred beats, only to find they were not the real songs, rather an impression of them, as in muzac or versions of the songs sung by background singers. Some of them were actually quite good and I'm amazed there are people out there paid to sound like Timbaland, Alicia Keyes and even Bruce Springsteen. Even so, I'm like what the hell!



Why must I be continuously chastised, ostracized and brutalized by technology? What did I ever do to it? I never made fun of it in elementary school! The whole concept of technology is to improve things and make people's lives easier.



But still, I continue to get the short end of the electronics stick! I tried coming out of my shell for it, tried getting to know it, tried to understand its needs, and all it wants to do is keep me down!



So all I got to say to that is &^%$ you!



We're done. You're lucky if I ever go online again! Outside of work, I'll never visit your selfish ass again and if I didn't need you to do my job everyday, you'd be dead to me! Hear that technology? Dead to me!

There are so many unsolved mysteries about the opposite sex that continue to baffle scientists and laymen alike. Some generalizations are true and others aren't, like shoes, for example.



Men constantly call-out women for their affinity for footwear, but I know plenty of men out there who have dozens of pairs of sneakers and worship and care for them better then their own wives and girlfriends! Guys will even cough-up over $200 for the hottest pair of new kicks, so I think both sexes are tied in that category.



For me though, I'll never understand why some men who don't bathe and wash their clothes regularly, still expect to get action. I'm thinking maybe they're taking the whole phermones thing overboard, because while it's true I want to smell you, I don't want to SMELL you.



But then we women do weird things like have a different set of underpants for different occasions. Like the daily underoos, ones for that time of the month, ones for a hot date and one's that you reserve for only the most special celebrations. When you add it all up, I've got 40-pairs of drawers, easily!



For Renee, her pet peeve about men is when they don't take care of their feet. I'll have to give her an Amen on that one because if women make sure our toes are polished and looking good, the least you can do is tend to yours once a week as well!



And JJ loves all kinds of things about women, but when you have a heart-to-heart with him, make it snappy! Us ladies tend to go into too much detail when dealing with emotional issues. That can get confusing for men sometimes and it seems as if they'd prefer the Coles Notes version on the whole ordeal.



Boogie has a long list of issues with women's behaviour. The biggest one centres around the toilet seat and how he thinks he doesn't have to put it down. I pointed out that when you buy a toilet, the seat is in the downward position, hence, that's the way it's supposed to be. And maybe if men aimed better, there would be no need to move the toilet seat in any direction.



Just a thought...

It's the day after our first big snowfall of the season and we made it! Though it's a bloody miracle considering how totally ill prepared so many people across the GTA were!



You couldn't go anywhere on Wednesday without hearing or seeing some news-person or meteorologist talking about the loads of snow to come and yet so many of you ignored it!



I guess it's the mentality that if you don't acknowledge something, it doesn't exist. Well what a cold and brutal wake-up call you must've had yesterday! Hmmm?



There were hundreds of crashes across our glorious land and why? We warned you about the rain turning to freezing rain, mixed with ice pellets and then soon to be followed by at least 5 centimetres of snow.



But noooo, you had to go ahead and disregard the warnings of putting on your snow tires, properly cleaning off your car, waking-up extra early for your morning commute and driving much, much slower.



So if you were one of those hundreds of people involved in mostly single-car crashes yesterday, I'm sorry your insurance is about to go up. But it's not like we didn't tell you so!



And I also have to make a quick note about winter fashion, or a lack thereof. For the love of God, I will never understand why teenagers, mostly girls, particularly the ones who have to wear uniforms, insist on running around half-naked in this weather!



Here's a tip kiddies, if it's below 10 degrees, your skin should be covered up. If your bare legs are turning a reddish-purple from walking outside, that means it's cold and you need to put some damn stockings on and for crying out loud, stop hiking-up your skirts! It's unladylike and honestly, less attention-getting tactics, is more.

10 Most Germiest Places

THE 10 GERMIEST PLACES

From Health.com

After hearing this, you may want to consider serving your meals in the bathroom and bathing in the trashcan.

10) Your bathtub. With about 100,000 bacteria per square inch, your tub is actually more germy than most trashcans. Once a week, scrub the tub down with disinfecting cleaner. Don’t forget to dry the tub, since germs are less likely to thrive on a dry surface. If someone in your house has a skin infection, wipe down the tub with a solution of two tablespoons bleach and one quart water.

9) Mats and machines at health clubs. At high schools, antibiotic-resistant-staph infections have been transmitted through wrestling mats. The same thing could happen at health clubs. Wipe down everything with disinfectant before and after using it, or use a towel as a buffer. Also, take a good hot, soapy shower after working out.

8) The playground. There’s just no way to put this delicately: Children tend to ooze bodily fluids (blood, mucus, saliva, urine) and then spread them around. Plus, kids tend to put their fingers in their mouths and noses more than the rest of us, so it’s easy to understand why Junior (and maybe his mom or dad) has the sniffles. Make hand sanitizer your new best friend. Also, pick warm, sunny days to be outside since the sun is actually a very good disinfectant.

7) Your handbag. Or makeup bag, guy’s wallet, personal digital assistant, etc. Whenever possible, hang your bag on a hook, not the floor. Leather and vinyl purses are best with fewer porous surfaces. Try to wipe it down with a disinfectant wipe every few days, and never set your purse on the counter.

6) ATM buttons. These tested worse than public restroom doorknobs. And the money that comes from the machines isn’t a whole lot better. Best advice: use hand sanitizer after using an ATM.

5) Shopping cart handles. Saliva. Bacteria. Fecal matter. Those are just a few of the choice substances found on shopping cart handles. Carts rank high because they’re handled by dozens of people every day and you’re putting your broccoli where some kid’s butt was. Bring along disinfecting wipes, and put things like raw meat into a separate bag.

4) Public drinking fountains. School fountains are the worst, as are cafeteria trays, sink handles, desktops and computer keyboards. Teach your kid to wash hands before and after lunch, after going to the restroom and after using the computer keyboards. Send along hand sanitizer and plenty of their own beverages from home. If schools were to use an antibacterial wipe on each desktop every night, they could cut absenteeism by half.

3) A load of wet laundry. Anytime you transfer underwear from the washer to the dryer, you’re going to get E. coli on your hands. Just one soiled undergarment can spread bacteria to the whole load and the machine. Run your washer and dryer at 150 degrees, wash white with bleach (the real stuff), and dry for at least 45 minutes. Wash your hands after handling laundry and run a cycle of bleach and water between every load to kill off lingering bugs.

2) Airplane Restrooms. No surprise here, but in addition to the many germs that lurk, the volcanic flush of the toilet spews all kinds of unmentionables into the air. Best advice: handle everything you touch with a paper towel and keep your back to the toilet when flushing.

1) Kitchen Sink. There are typically more than 500,000 bacteria per square inch in the drain. That sponge you use to clean the counter? Crawling with bacteria, as are the sink’s basin and faucet handles. What to do? Run your sponges through the dishwasher’s drying cycle and wipe down the sink basin, handles and drain twice a week with a solution of one tablespoon bleach and one quart water.

P.S. SNOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY But please drive carefully...

Whatever!

I don't know about you, but I love reading! It's fun! It expands your vocabulary, it keeps your mind working and it’s usually a great way to kill time.



I've read good books, bad books, great books and trashy ones too. I've started reading novels and only made it halfway through because they were so boring. I've started and stopped reading books because they just weren't working for me.



And when you find a book you read cover-to-cover and can't put down, even when it's already half-an-hour past your bedtime, you know you've got a hit in your hands.



And that's when Hollywood rolls in to ruin everything you imagined!



How many times have you said, "Wow, that movie was better than the book!"? I'm guessing probably never.



So why do producers continue to rip our interpretations of a book from our minds and try cramming their formulaic, uninspiring dreck in its place? Their versions leave nothing to the imagination and never fail at omitting the best parts or the most dramatic interactions and build-ups in the novel.



I've seen it happen to recent big-budget movies like Memoirs of a Geisha, The Da Vinci Code and The Devil Wears Prada.



I think the The Color Purple is the only successful book-on-film that easily comes to mind. Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet was pretty hot. I'd say the whole Bourne action series as well, except, I've never read the books. And I guess the X-Men series too, but sorry J.J., comic books aren't exactly fine literature.



But anyway, the latest attempt producers are taking, is turning a fabulous and totally hilarious book called JPOD, into a TV series. If you've read the book, you probably share my befuddlement at how the hell it's going to work.



Though, I suppose we should leave it to the professionals, since they know what they're doing. I'm just really hoping this isn't another stab in the dark that lands in my eye, because I've already had my senses dulled by too many adaptations that make me want to poke my own eyes out to find some kind of relief.

Whatever!

WHATEVER!!!



Everybody's got their favourite TV show and one of mine happens to be The Mercer Report.



Being a fan, or foe, of politics, I really enjoy it when anyone takes a bite out of over-paid, spoiled-rotten politicians who think they're too good for just about everything. And for some reason Rick Mercer does it so well and most of the time, we agree on things, which is always a plus!



So on last night's show, former Prime Minister Jean Chretien was on, plugging his memoirs. You may have heard several weeks back when some excerpts from his book were released to tantalize the public to buy, buy, buy!



One of the leaks included Chretien bashing his replacement, Paul Martin. He never did much for me, nor did Chretien, and its a well known fact these guys did not like each other, back-stabbed on another and split the Liberal party in at least two-warring factions over their mutual spitefulness.



I understand in an autobiography, you tackle touchy and controversial topics that sprouted-up in your lifetime, but something has got to be said for good taste.



In now scandal-plagued former PM Brian Mulroney's book, he bashed Pierre Trudeau, another former Prime Minister, who's been 6-feet under for years and clearly unable to contest Mulroney's claims.



Such a move is so clearly lame and beyond embarrassingly gauche, but you have to give some points in this unsportsmanlike game to Chretien, for at least talking trash about a man who's still alive and able to defend his name.



Granted, honour isn't something most politicians have, especially the high ranking ones.



But you'd think these one-time leaders of our country, high-powered men and their millions of dollars and fancy life-styles would have some kind of class. And yet here's another example of how money can't buy everything.

If you ventured out of the house on Sunday and into Toronto's downtown core, you were either as happy as a pig in pooh, or irritated beyond belief.



Unfortunately for me, I was not the former.



I was rushing to meet Flow's fabulous afternoon traffic goddess, Samantha Mitchell, at the Argos game, when dozens of ‘little people’ slowed-up my progress and goal of getting to the Dome on time.



Now, you'll have to forgive me for my attitude. I'm not a parent. I don't plan on being one in the very near future and it's not that I don't like kids, it's just sometimes they get in the way, which I find is the fault of their parents more times than not.



When it's an incredibly busy day in a large city like Toronto, it's imperative you watch children like a hawk. They have a habit of wondering off in their cute, little way. And sometimes they dart into pedestrian traffic when their parents should be keeping them on a tighter leash.



And when I say leash, I don't actually mean a leash. Though I have seen some parents strap on those harness-thingies on their small children, which is weird and no doubt emotionally scarring in some way.



But I digress.



The point of this is the commute on the TTC was much more nerve-wracking than it should've been because it seemed like 3/4s of the people riding the train had never been on it! They didn't get the concept of putting their kids in a seat, or moving their strollers away from the door so people could get on and off, or even organizing themselves and their gear so people could actually stand on the train in relative safety.



Again, I'm sure I'm angering a lot of parents out there, but too bad! I used to baby-sit and have taken care of quite a few children in my day and gone on trips with them and such. I know it's a chore to get kids around on public transit. Even so, you've still got to show some consideration for the people around you.



And that especially includes the mall!
