Might be the coolest product ever

Today, while doing some online research about energy drinks, I stumbled across the COOLEST product in the universe. It's called the Ex knife holder. Designed in Italy by Raffaele Iannello, these bad boys supposedly retail for about $120. I want one so badly! I think I would name him... I would have so many possibilities!

They also have other products like the Ex skewer set with unique holder and tray. Imagine a voodoo doll of your ex that is used to serve cubes of fruit or cheese! GENIUS.

I feel like this would make a great gift for a friend who's down or even as a joke gift for a couple. What partner doesn't want to stab his/her mate at some point... Not for real of course, just in their mind!!!

You can see the full product listing at: http://www.ricsb.com/us/products/.

I have some movie reviews coming up in the next couple of days.

It's hot!

Everyone in Montreal is sweating. Even those with a/c are finding it unbearably hot. I feel like a sloth. I am a slow moving human being. The water isn't cold enough. The house isn't cooling down. I want ice cream.

Interesting websites I've stumbled upon

Lately, I've taken to clicking on next blog from my blog page. Sometimes I stumble onto weird blogs about parents homeschooling their children (not that homeschooling is weird, just that the blog itself was kind of strange), I've landed on blogs about makeup, hair, pills, and today, I stumbled upon:

http://www.thestickypig.com/

I got to the sticky pig from someone's blog about choosing the best hairstyle. He stumbled upon this little gem at a bridal show.

Then I was having trouble turning Word mailing labels into an Excel document and this website saved me:

I have to do some cleanup, but it's really not that bad in comparison to what could have been the ultimate result.

I can't take any credit for the next one as a friend of mine told me to check out:

Just go check it out.

Like an accident by the side of the road - I keep watching.

While unemployed, I started watching the show "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." This is an ABC Family show. The tagline of ABC Family is "A new kind of family." Indeed.

This show is just so unbelievable. Do teenagers really behave like this? I don't remember being like that when I was a teenager. The problem with this show is that I have a sick need to find out what happens and find myself on episode 15 of Season 2.

How is it that in one high school, in just a matter of minutes (or possibly a period or two) a complete marketing plan, including the printing of stickers has been created around the idea of masturbation as a means to keep teens from having sex? This show must send Christians screaming all around town on a regular basis. The good Christian girl has sex, but the TAG group lets her stay a member. Her mother (who has lost her husband and is now dating a much younger Jewish guy), encourages her young daughter to masturbate (which she now seems to do regularly making her boyfriend think she's cheating) and TADA - the "Just say ME" slogan is born.

Now, I am all for masturbation. I just don't get this show!

The main character is pregnant on the first episode. Will she keep the baby, give it away, keep it, give it away. Just make a decision! Everyone makes this poor kid crazy...

I put completion of this post on hold in the hopes that MAYBE something normal would happen, but no... The Christian (who masturbates) widow is now engaged to her younger, Jewish boyfriend. I must have missed something, fallen asleep... I don't remember them getting engaged!

Add to that the school "slut" thinks she might be pregnant with the teen mom's ex-boyfriend who she slept with to get her boyfriend (the baby's daddy) jealous.

Only 10 minutes and I'll have finished the second season.

Why didn't I just start watching Mad Men?

You can't fool me coriander

For those of you who know me, you know that I detest Cilantro. It is a vile, disgusting, awful herb. I can't stand the taste or the smell. It sends me fleeing for my life.

It looks so innocent. Parsley-like. Put it in food and some people are ecstatic. They rave about the joyous flavour it adds to food.

I disagree.

Try having it shoved up your nose. That flavour stays there for hours. I was going to say days, but that's just an unfair exaggeration.

I went to an Afghani restaurant on Friday night for dinner. Decor was quaint. Was BYOW. No amount of wine could take away from the fact that every menu item except for the fried eggplant (that wasn't really fried) and the pumpkin had coriander. It was so sad!

My SATC2 review

Last night, I saw SATC2 with 5 other women. The vote was pretty unanimous. No one hated it. Critics sure are being harsh with the reviews, but I think that's unfair. Were they expecting Scorsese to have put this masterpiece together?

You have 4 longtime friends who are all in a rut. Enter opportunity to go on vacation. Camels, camel toes, harem pants (who looks good in harem pants? - no one), spices, Aidan. Sounds great? Sure, some of the jokes are lame and the clothing is ridiculous, but anyone who watched the show came to see just that. The porn of this movie isn't Samantha having sex all over the world, it's seeing Carrie's new closet that she shares with Big.

Liza Minnelli - I hope to dance like her when I'm her age.

Won't ruin the film for anyone who's excited to see it, but I enjoyed almost the entire thing. There's one scene (spoiler alert) - a really terrible karaoke scene. Of all the songs in the world, why on Earth did they choose "I am Woman." How cliche is that? And that's coming from me - a woman who can quote cliche's for fun.

My purse has a secret compartment

Apparently I knew about it enough to put my keys there yesterday.

That's where they were when my boyfriend showed up at the office with the extra set.

Yikes.

Just needed an excuse to write.

I've been wanting to hop back on the blogwagon for sometime now, but just wasn't sure what I would write about. Dating, been there. Movies, haven't seen one worth writing about in a while. Stupid things I do - now there's an idea.

Today, as I was getting ready to leave the office, I reached into my purse for my car keys and realized that I didn't have any. I honestly thought I had them with me, but somehow I think I left them under my portfolio in the car, but I can't see it.

I wondered if maybe someone came into the office and took my keys... But my car is in the lot. Who would steal keys without taking the car?? It's not like my address is on them... No one knows where to find me unless they get into the car. Then they would know that I have purple leather gloves, a bunch of MAC makeup to return for their recycling program and an amazing pair of high heels that I am supposed to wear to see SATC 2 tonight. Thank goodness the tickets are for the 10:05 show.

I'm back.
