I’ve always been choosy in joining international fan clubs and being halfway across the globe, it was always a question whether it was worth it or not, and looking back now, it was. Since the release of the LOTR movies and now “The Hobbit” trilogy, I have been taking my …

I am someone who enjoys a good read. I like literature too, ranging from translations of the classics of both Ancient Greek and Roman writers from Xenophon to Procopius and, in later writings, from Alfred the Great’s translations to the Brontes and all points in between.
What I am driving …

Comedy sketches using action figures is not a new concept. I remember in the early 1990’s, Jon Stewart (later the host of The Daily Show) made a short using Barbie dolls to parody the survival film, Alive. Probably the most well known example of this comedy style …

On the internet, there is no shortage of resources for fans of professional wrestling. There is a majority that are distinctly American in their perspective, often marred by nostalgia. Save for the UK’s WrestletalkTV, the viewpoint of wrestling fans outside of the US is minimal. Fortunately, …

Rush Limbaugh is a conservative radio host. He is certainly the most successful conservative radio host out there. I agree with a lot of his views on certain issues but I believe that he is way to controversial and divisive. He is a conservative but I …

I watch Fox News sometimes but I don’t watch it a lot. I consider myself somewhat of an independent and most of the shows in my opinion do have a conservative bias. Some of the main anchors include Sean Hannity, Bill O’reilly and Greta Van …

With the rain pouring outside and two kids inside complaining about being bored and having nothing to do, I scooped up my car keys and said “Lets go”. I had no clue where I was going to go, but I knew I wanted out of the house and the …

I like when summer rolls around because it means some good outdoor cooking as well as fresh fruits; however, I didn’t really the Food and Family Magazine: 2003 Summer Issue because it didn’t have an abundance of summer recipes I was hoping to read about.
The front cover of Food …

These magazines, Canadian Living, always look so appealing, so last year, I got a one year subscription. While I do occasionally enjoy the magazine, to be honest, I don’t think it was worth it to get a subscription. Part of my reason for feeling this is that you end …

I have been watching this channel for years and I would certainly recommend it to anyone that’s a fan of the NFL. This channel provides 24/7 news and updates when it comes to the NFL. I love being able to turn to one channel to find all …

The Price is Right is a game show that runs on CBS. In my opinion The Price is Right is the best game show. Drew Carey is the current host of The Price is Right and he is always very energetic which makes the show a whole …

Last December 2, following a visit to my mother’s grave in the province for her death anniversary, I got the greatest shock of my life. While I was still in the bus, my cellphone began beeping and ringing like crazy. For a moment, I thought my employer needed me …

My family and I listen to the “British Broadcasting Corporation” or BBC a lot, and one of the things which I like about it is the BBC World News. Over the years that I have been listening to it, I have realised that both the one that is aired …

Whenever I can’t get to watch the news programme “Prime Time News Headlines” or, there is some major newsworthy event I want another perspective on, I watch the “CVM News Watch” programme. It is a news programme that starts at eight in the night on one of our local …

usually airs on weekdays in the evenings after either the five …

I switched channel in our television on ETC last night and watched Glee 2. I did not see the first part; the only part I saw was when the glee cast was feeling sorry for what has happened to Kurt’s father Burt. I hardly know what specific type of …

After decades of watching commercials on TV, I’m tired of them. I tend to zone out, multi-task, or change the channel when a commercial comes on. Sometimes, though, an ad campaign does capture my interest. One of those is the Subaru Dad and Kids campaign. …

Brown/Whitman: Face to Face was the first TV debate between gubernatorial candidates, Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman. The two debated at U.C. Davis in California on September 28, 2010.

I have always thought that Jamaican radio on Sunday, and especially Sunday evenings could be quite monotonous for a young person, even though after coming to listen to my parents talk about what it used to be like, I realize it is much better now. These days, and even …

The Target chain has added groceries to its aisles in 2010, and apparently, that has made its way into my area as well. I can tell because in my mail today was a large pamphlet full of images and information designed to get me to shop there.
