Summertime

Hello!

What a wonderful week of sunshine and happiness! This past week was filled with BBQ and pool-time fun. Definitely made for a great start to what I hope will be a fun-filled summer.

Here are some summer tunes to get you in the mood:

Bryan Adams: Summer of 69

DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince: Summertime

LFO: Summer Girls

I may not wear Abercrombie & Fitch as per request by LFO but I definitely cannot wait for the rest of this summer! Lots of fun ahead.

Victoria Day

What better way to celebrate a national holiday than with an 11 year old girl playing YYZ on a crazy rock organ:

Happy Mother's Day!

For all the moms out there, Happy Mother's Day! I hope you know how much we love and appreciate you!

I wasn't sure which video to post for this blog, until I remembered this one created especially for Mother's Day by the geniuses at SNL:



Happy Mother's Day!

Graduation

Well the time has FINALLY come. In three days I will officially be done cegep round 2! Even though I graduated from Concordia two years ago, I'm an adult for real now because I have no plans to go back any time soon.

Here are some awesome, loosely themed graduation songs:

Vitamin C -> Graduation (Obviously number 1)      
 

 

Kanye -> Homecoming 

That ending song from Grease when everyone's happy

The internet offered many sappy, emotion and wonderful graduation songs but as I don't feel sad only a sense of relief I will leave you with these. Hopefully next year I don't Billy Madison and end up back in high school.  Fingers crossed!

Law and Order

After my last awkward humiliation post 3 weeks ago, I can't believe I almost forgot to blog again this week!

This week's episode of Community was a new level of awesome reminding me how much I loved Law & Order.
So, here are some random facts about Law & Order:

The distinctive typeface used for all titles, credits, and on-screen "scene change" cards, for "Law & Order" and all of its spin-offs, is named "Friz Quadrata." The typeface used for "Starring" and "Created By" in the opening credits, the lone exception, is Eurostile

The "thunk-thunk" sound effect used in between scenes was created by combining close to a dozen sounds, including that of a group of monks stamping on a floor. The sound is intended to be reminiscent of both a jurist's gavel, and a jail cell door slamming.

This awesome thing happened :


When the show began airing in re-runs on TNT, new digital technology was used to insert "product placements" (paid appearances of name-brand products) into the show. The easiest to spot is for Coca-Cola; any time you see a Coke can sitting on a desk, it has been added digitally.

Everyone has been on that show!


That's enough for now,
Diana

Here Comes the Rain Again

Hey Friends!

I hope you had a great weekend! My weekend involved shopping for new glasses and eating lots of food with great friends :) Waffles with fresh fruit? Yes. Steak on a charcoal grill? Also yes. But right now, all I want to do is curl up on the couch and listen to the rain fall - that is, NOT go outside in the rain. Thanks Weather for making it rain every day this week! That means I will likely have this song stuck in my head for the whole week:



Time to bust out those rain boots! Have an excellent week :)

Memories

Hello!

So last night, I'm not quite sure how it happened, but I took a little trip down memory lane via youtube.  Mostly looking at the different intros to the awesome shows that I used to watch as a kid.  I'd like to take that time to remind you guys of some of the best TV shows of our childhoods.  

Take Part! I'm pretty sure this show has a direct influence on why I'm an early childhood educator.  This was one of my favourite shows EVER! Come home from a long day of boring school and make kick ass puppets of old margarine containers! Come on! 

PJ Katie's Farm! This show was by no means a good show.  I think I watched it because I thought "Hey Katie kind of sounds like Kathy, maybe one day I could be a PJ".  It breaks my heart that YTV doesn't exist anymore and that my dreams of being a PJ can never be real.

LAMB-F-ING-CHOP'S PLAY ALONG! Not enough good things can be said about this show.  Not only did it occupy us all as children but it taught us things like "Betchas!" and "The Song that Never Ends" which gave us HOURS of torturing our parents.  Thank you Shari Lewis for hours of my childhood entertainment.

Have a good week, take a trip down memory lane cause it's more fun than doing school or work!
