OMG I was already loving this film because of the Opry and the music and all the Hall of Famers, but then suddenly she went back in time and wow! Might as well just put it in my top slot right now.

I can assure you seeing this name in any opening credits makes me very excited and certain there will be at least one thing that is perfection! And I was right. Now watching: Champagne Problems. “Like most Germans I learned that Krampus wasn’t real in my mid-20s. It was a dark day I can tell you.”

The CTV app on my Google Chromecast is so terrible tonight. I've been watching a movie since 7:30. But I'm still only an hour into it.

Fresh christmas tree acquired from the folks at Church of the Apostles (St James Anglican for the old timers in Guelph). It is now slowly unfolding its boughs so I can decorate it tomorrow.

Watching Melt My Heart At Christmas and the opening scene is obviously being filmed in the real winter of Ontario and it's hilarious how absolutely frozen these actors look wearing the typical Hallmark holiday movie outfits since they are all usually filmed in July. #hallmark #CountdownToChristmas

We’re so sorry.

If a large portion of households went down from two cars to one car, it would be transformative for walking, biking, and transit in the city

Getting started on the holiday season reading!

Taking a page from my dad’s book and made myself an old fashioned while starting a beef stew and baking cookies.

I love how bright the snow makes everything. Reading in the morning by my big living room windows is so much nicer in the winter than any other time of year.

@profanity.accountant How many swears do I have?

Just started watching Christmas Above the Clouds and I'm talking back to the TV so much I figured I'd feel better sharing it with others who may feel the same! I refuse to believe anyone in the 21st century would work for this woman. She is a workplace harassment suit walking. #HallmarkChannel

One hundred and thirty four emails in my Promotions inbox so far today since 12:15am. Not to mention the 104 which came in yesterday. Ah commerce.

I am against this. If The Thing is classified as a Christmas movie then what will I watch in the middle of January? Winter is a whole season people! (I’m actually more likely to watch this one in the middle of July because I’m desperate for a break from the oppressive heat and sun)

I started the holiday movie watching this week on Wednesday and a friend said they were surprised I’d held off so long. But I just looked back at last year’s viewing schedule and my first holiday movie was November 23rd. It felt early this year, and it is! I’m already 3 movies in!

Ugh, annoyingly it is also migraine day. I hope this breaks before I head to Toronto for the Rheostatics concert tonight. I've been looking forward to this since August.

Leaving Twitter/X is a lot like leaving a toxic relationship. The more time passes, the more you realize how correct that decision was, especially when you learn what that person/site continued to do after you left. "Oh, they're even worse now? Yeah. Glad I got out of that one."

We’re live!

Good morning. It’s new Rheostatics album day!

Today is the day I officially flip the holiday switch. A christmas playlist showed up on my Tidal homepage and I thought, why not?! I need to get watching the new movies since my annual movies appearance at Breezy Breakfast is coming soon. First Hallmark movie is A Royal Montana Christmas.

Pot of Bengal Spice tea and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. Friday night sorted!

I just put a sticky note on the door of my apartment to remind myself to check my mail after work, and one in my kitchen reminding me to bake banana bread. I've either finally gotten a handle on this adulting thing, or I'm failing miserably.

Vancouver has the most beautiful maintenance covers. Some of these cast iron medallions cover public works (drains, sewers) and some are purely decorative 😍 This design is by Musqueam artist Susan Point (1995).

Listen live! I hear there are still some people who own devices that stream terrestrial radio!

We live in a representative government, where the elected are supposed to represent our opinions... but they don't bother asking us for that opinion. Shame.

I don't get it. The Ford family has run Toronto and now the province like they are in Casino, and I think the reason people keep electing Fords is because they too wanna be a Goodfella. www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

I know I’m done the horror movie challenge and can watch other things, but if you thought I wasn’t going to watch the schlocky remake of The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, you don’t know me that well.

I was a coms staffer at PSAC when the Harper government slashed the public service — a miserable time for everyone. All it led to was layoffs, followed by the fed govt hiring more temps and expensive consultants. And then eventually hiring back even more people. It takes humans to run a country 🤷‍♀️

Look, Hallmark's Finding Mr. Christmas is peak non-toxic masculinity, which is wild for a show which is basically a beauty contest to find the hottest man. I love that this show doesn't go negative and showcases positive feelings. And never makes the competition less than healthy.

I'm working from a cafe with a liquor license and I just heard a local student aged person order an espresso martini to go with the work she is doing at her table... and I think she's got the right idea of how to get school work done on a Monday at 4pm.

But why did our rates change? Oh wait here it is: “The Ontario Energy Board issued a report last week saying the price hike is due to the province’s higher-than-expected nuclear generation costs and higher-than-forecast conservation program expenses.” Nuclear and punishing us for conserving energy

Moved on to Home Turf, and we get it Warren Christie, you can do at least 3 pull ups in a row. Also, this movie has revived my need to mark all the coffee carts Hallmark seems to think dot the land. This time a table in a walking path with an espresso machine on it, but clearly no power nearby.

Okay, now that my horror movie challenge is done I can catch up on the Fall Hallmark movies. But Finding Mr. Christmas season 2 just started last week so you better bet I'm watching that first. My spoiler free thoughts about 20 minutes in - Drake has real Himbo energy.

Recovering from my flu and covid shots yesterday, which has meant a lot of couch time, tea, and Advil today. Exactly why I planned my shots for the day before a complete day off.

Now sitting down to a viewing of Halloween III: Season of the Witch with about ten of my friends.

Feeling a little burned out on narrative film and I only have 1 day left of #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days to watch two movies. I've switched to documentaries. boxd.it/a0JY

Ugh, who changed the font on Youtube? Maybe this is just a weird caching problem for me and it will go back to normal tomorrow.

Want to hear about dozens of horror movies? Tune into End Credits Radio live today at 3pm on CFRU, or the podcast version on Friday. I joined a roundtable with all of us co-hosts and shared 6 different movies in different categories. You are sure to hear about a horror movie you haven't seen yet.

Thank you for posting this. I just went and opted out. Not that I use LinkedIn for much anyway. It's nice to have the option to opt out.

I would love it if my eyes would stop streaming. What am I even allergic to right now? Is this the mold on the leaves? It doesn’t seem fair to deal with the same issue twice a year, before the snow covers it all and again when the snow melts in Feb/March!

This morning my Tidal Daily Discovery playlist has Killing In The Name by Rage on it. Tidal is NOT good at algorithms yet, so I'm sure this is just a wonderful coincidence after having sang along with this song last night at the Tom Morello show. #VolumeUp

Just got home from seeing Tom Morello doing a speaking gig, with music, at the River Run Centre. What a show. He sounded great, the songs he chose were so good, mostly his solo stuff, and his stories were captivating and inspiring. I recommend others Canadians go see his show - www.tommorello.com
