Okay, I know the reason: I didn’t eat a big dinner, and I was feeling rather peckish, so I decided to make some apple crisp at 1am. I’m a night owl, I know. Didn’t eat it until 2am, and I had it with a little bit of low-fat ice cream. Afterwards I felt guilty that I ate so late.
So I popped in my Turbo Jam DVD and did the 20-minute workout (what a burn!). I feel much better now. Just showered and now I’m off to bed.
Oh, and sorry that I can’t post the recipe for the apple crisp as of yet. I kinda ate it all before I could take any photos to post. :)
Personally, I don’t think her body looks that bad for someone who’s a young mother of two… but put some more damn clothes on, please! And what was with her weave? She needs to fire whoever put her extensions in after her head-shaving incident. Why make a come-back when you’re not even performing? It would have been nice to actually hear her sing since she obviously wasn’t doing any dancing. She almost look like she was gonna pass out at the beginning and end of her performance. Sigh… poor thing.
I won’t even get into Kanye’s cry-baby antics as to why he was throwing a hissy-fit over not performing on the main stage and opening up the show, or not winning in any of the categories he was nominated in.
Okay, I will. Here’s the video from backstage at the awards show:
When West was performing at a pre-MVA concert he freestyled:
I can’t believe she would perform / She hasn’t had a hit record in years. I gotta get my money right / Or maybe I gotta get my skin white.
Quit complaining and grow some balls, Kanye! You probably have more money than all of the 3rd world villages combined, so be a man and be grateful for what’s been given to you!
Oh, and lets not forget the fight that broke out between Pamela Anderson’s ex’s Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. I tell you… some of these so-called celebrities really need to get their act together. Can’t wait for next year’s awards antics!
Michael Davis’ Shoot ‘Em Up has got to be one of the most ridiculous films I’ve ever watched–and I mean that in a good way. Shoot ‘Em Up is like Die Hard meets Loony Toons. Clive Owen‘s carrot-dependent character Smith is Bugs Bunny-esqe, cleverly avoiding the grasps of the Elmer-Fudd-like crime boss Hertz (played by Paul Giamatti). And then you have the beautiful Monica Belluccci adding some feminine wiles to the film. The film was shot in Toronto and they didn’t do much to hide that fact, although it’s supposed to be set in an American city (you can see the base of the CN Tower in one seen and a large “Yonge St.” address in a building in another).
In Shoot ‘Em Up The mysterious Smith is reluctantly marked to be the protector of a orphaned newborn and partners with his lady-friend Donna Quintano (Bellucci) to keep the baby out of harms way from an army of gunman led by Hertz. Okay, so the plot isn’t some deep and meaningful concoction, but when you have non-stop action, impossible stunts, witty dialogue, comedic moments, and eye candy, what does that really matter?
If you’re looking for a film that is fun and entertaining, and not looking to take itself seriously then Shoot ‘Em Up is it.
The 2007 Toronto International Film Festival is underway. This used to be one of my favourite times of the year, because for seven years straight I was a volunteer with TIFF and got to see some free films, meet interesting people, and be thisclose to talented actors and actresses.
Alas, ever since I got a “real” job, I couldn’t find enough time to devote to the festival, especially since they now require all volunteers to work a minimum of four shifts. But I enjoyed it while it lasted.
Being a self-professes shop-a-holic, I obviously ran out of funds to purchase advance ticket packages. I didn’t realize that tickets were almost $20 a pop! Regardless, I am going to have to fork over some cash to buy tickets to the Midnight Madness screening of Wilson Yip’s Flash Point starring Donnie Yen (Hero, Iron Monkey).
Visit the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival website for a list of all films, schedules and box office info. If you don’t have the funds to watch any screenings, you could always head down to Yorkville or the Galas to catch a glimpse of your favourite celebrity. :)
Wow. This has got to be one of the most delicious Mexican dishes I ever cooked up to date! I never made burritos this way before, but thought I’d give it a try last night and they came out tasting great. I tried to make this meal as healthy as I could by using extra-lean meat and fat-free refried beans.
450g/1lb package of Extra Lean Ground Chicken
1 can of Refried Beans (approx. 400mL)
8 8″ Flour Tortillas
1 1/2 cups Shredded Cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mixture)
1 Onion (chopped)
1 Tomato (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon of Cajun Seasoning (or a blend of salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper)
2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon of hot sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large saucepan on medium heat, brown the ground chicken for about 10 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain off the excess liquid from the pan
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the ground chicken, then sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning and cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are soft.
To the chicken mixture gradually add the refried beans, chopped tomato, hot sauce and lemon juice, blending well with a large spoon. Cook on medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the chicken and bean mixture simmers, line a 9 x 13″ baking pan with parchment paper (or just lightly oil a casserole dish).
Line the center of each soft tortilla with a large spoonful of the chicken-bean mixture. Carefully fold up the sides into a roll and place in the baking pan. Continue until each tortilla is filled and lined up next to each other.
Sprinkle cheese on top of the rolled-up burritos, and bake uncovered in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted.
I’ve been there a few weeks ago and I’m from The Netherlands so i should know how it would taste and I got a apple crumble pie and it was the best I’ve ever had little expesive but okay it was delicious!
Yes, I know this is probably old news by now, but I was busy the last couple of days! I’m sure most of you have already seen the sub-par performance by Britney Spears at the
