Top 5 Movies I'm Excited to See
2. Little Miss Sunshine - I just watched it last night. This movie is absolutely brilliant! When Sara-Lynn and I come down to abbotsford and any of you haven't seen it, we'll totally go watch it again. Steve Carrell is breathtakingly good in this movie. http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/littlemisssunshine/
3. The Last Kiss - I am a tiny bit disappointed that this movie is a remake of an italian movie. But it still looks really good.
http://www.apple.com/trailers/dreamworks/thelastkiss/
4. The Science of Sleep - A film by Michael Gondry, this is enough reason alone to watch the movie. If you don't know who Michael Gondry is, he also directed Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. Watch the trailer I'm positive you will like it.
http://www.apple.com/trailers/warner_independent_pictures/thescienceofsleep/hd/
5. Old Joy - I think I am the most excited about this movie. It stars Will Oldham and Daniel London. Will Oldham happens to be one of my favorite musicians, and he looks as unacceptable as always in this movie. The movie just looks beautiful to me.

Top 5 Memorable Quotes Read or Heard This Past Week
(Poster on a message board.)
2. Asked what he would do first, if he had won the forty million dollar lottery last week:
"I'd buy a pony."
(A guy at work who must be 55-60 years old--and said with a straight face.)
3. "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there."
(The Go-Between, L.P. Hartley)
4. "She knocked me out. I mean it. I was half in love with her by the time we sat down [from dancing]. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls...They can drive you crazy. They really can.
(The Catcher In the Rye, J.D. Salinger)
5. "I also find it funny how time chisels at the once monumental and detailed events of our lives, such as relationships and their end, and after some years you are able to concisely and dispassionately summarize something that once consumed your entire being. Just for that, time is my friend, not my enemy."

Top Five TV Shows I Thought Would Suck But Actually Don’t
(The Clincher: Kramer. And the Soup Nazi.)
2. Alias: I flipped to it one day, watched about 1 minute, and thought, “What the crap is this? Crap. That’s what it is.” Then not too long ago someone told me I needed to start from the beginning—Season Uno. So I went and rented it. Within a week and a half I finished four seasons of it. Great show. Mucho addictive. It’s like one gigantor movie.
(The Clincher: Jennifer Garner. Momma Mia.)
3. Firefly: Why this show only lasted 12 episodes I will never understand. I was dragged kicking and screaming to see the movie Serenity, but turned out to really like it. When I found out it was based on a TV show, I went and rented the episodes. I’m not big on science fiction tv, so I was skeptical. But holy geez, batman. This was a quality show. Well written, well acted, believable, funny.
(The Clincher: No hokey aliens. In fact, no aliens at all. “Whaaaat?! Science Fiction without aliens?! Is that allowed? Can it be done?!” Indeed. Oh, and they swear in Chinese. And it’s real swearing—apparently they hired a translator to translate the most ridiculously bad English swear words into Chinese and teach the actors how to say them. That tickled me.)
4. Battlestar Galactica: This fell under the “Oh Yeah—Like I’m Ever Going to Watch That Show” category for me. In fact, I knew nothing about it except that it had people in it and the name sounded incredibly dorky. But, as seems to always be the case for me, someone told me to watch it, so I did. Now I rank it in my “Top Five All-time Favouritest Shows”. It has a lot of the same strengths as Firefly, which includes no aliens. Top quality all around. This show has my 2.6 thumbs up. (I’d give it 3, but I’m not that freakish.)
(The Clincher: I’m about 98.9% sure it’s all filmed in
5. Late Night with Conan O’Brien: What can I say? I had never really watched the show until I happened to find out a band I like was playing on it one night. So, having nothing else to do at
(The Clincher: The Walker Texas Ranger Lever. Not to mention the time Chuck Norris beat him up in the hallway.)

Top5 Coffees at Starbucks
4. Terraza. This a refreshing citrussy coffee with the big tones and body of the bold coffees while lacking their earthy bitter taste. We use it for iced coffee all year round and are currently selling the beans whole in 1lb bags. Awesome with sugar and cream.
3. Bella Florentina. A combination of coffees from two of Starbucks' biggest coffee growers in Costa Rica and Panama. We have a contract with them both to buy their entire crops every year and decided to celebrate that relationship with this Special Blend. Refreshingly juicy with big floral hints, it pairs well with any kind of berry pastry.
2. Organic Shade Grown Mexican. If you're one of those people that usually has to put cream and/or sugar in your coffee because you don't like it plain and you think Starbucks coffee is too "burnt" tasting, this coffee will change your mind. Nutty with a hint of orange, sip this black while sampling the Tangerine Bundt Cake. It'll make you happy.
1. Arabian Mocha Sanani. This is an amazing blend of aged African/Asian beans that will blow your friggin' mind, dude. Heavy, rich, thick, steaming with cocoa and spices, laced with juicy berry flavour and hints of wine, this one is probably my favourite right now.
Remember, if it's not fresh, it's not Starbucks. He he.

Top 5 Fantasy Trades This Season:
2. Verlander, Pujols, Ramirez for Santana, Young and Vladdy. I still can't believe that Bryan accepted this trade.
3. All of Shagens trades with Donkers. They worked out really well for Shagen. Donkers might have gotten the short end of the stick.
4. The recipient of an Ortiz trade. I would have a hard time justifying a trade for this guy. I think Monte might have traded him to Zenon for something.
5. Any Andruw Jones trade. I think he has been the trade whore this season.
Top 5 Moments in Josephine's Life

Top 5 Cool Things to do In Toronto
2. Go to Jo Mamas... A little Jazz bar. On Friday nights they have the best Jazz ensamble in the city. Stay for every set. Get a seat at the bar and drink just enough to maintain your need for that seat.
3. Go to the Piano Lounge in the Maz... I just did this last night. Nobody I was with really wanted to stay in the Piano lounge, they just wanted to drink on the patio. I went with my cousin's friends. But man. Dan Donkers.... you should be this guy. He was just playing whatever anyone wanted to here. And like everyone was singing along. Just great. Songs sang last night... Sweet home alabama, some johnny cash, Keane, Coldplay, livin on a prayer. wicked.
4. On Queen in the east end, near Carlaw, is this sweet Cheese store that opened last month, run by these 20 somethings, that shine of committed humble coolness. They make the best grilled cheeses, and well the whole ambiance of a store making money almost completely off cheese sales is awesome. A starbucks is about to go in accross the streets and I am so happy for the people, cause they are gonna rake it in.
5. Pick up chicks. I don't know how to do this.... but I see it done and am amazed.

Top 5 Drives in BC
1. The Sunshine Coast. I always heard people talk about it, had never done it. It really is nice. Especially when it's not busy, and when you have some time to stop along the way.
2. Yale to Cache Creek (The Fraser Canyon). This is just a classic beauty of a drive. The Canyon has always been one of my favourites.
3. Hope to Princeton. I don't know why Princeton exists, but driving to it through Manning Park is pretty awesome.
4. Golden to Kimberly. You're sandwiched in between two really impressive mountain ranges all the way there, yet the scenery in the valley reminds me of the prairies. Really grassy and kind of swampy.
5. =with a bullet= Terrace to Prince Rupert. Follow the Skeena river the whole way there. And Prince Rupert is one of my favourite coastal towns.

5. "I wonder how much a vacation in Hell would cost?"
