Global warming is having it's affect

Just heard on CKNW that B.C. Hydro has reported that 200,000 customers are experiencing power outages. Yikes!

If I didn't have a back-up alarm called "Dad" - & yes, I know it's quite sad that I still live at home w/ the parental units - I would NOT have made it into work on time today. What a crazy morning... getting abruptly waken up by my father, getting dressed in the dark, waiting for the bus in the dark, my bus almost getting into a head on collison w/ on-coming traffic as it attempted to maneuver the fallen tree branches on the road, and the bumpiest train ride I've ever experienced.

This weather is absolutely crazy, but of course, it doens't even look like downtown Vancouver has been affected at all. Hell, it's sunny right now!

update: Oh gawd help me... look at what I just got from CKNW...

B.C. Hydro says 240 thousand Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island customers without power.

Lower Mainland customers may be without power until Monday.

Let me introduce you to...

some shows that you probably aren't watching *&* should be!

I've finally caught up on all my television watching after missing a full month from my travels in Asia & I've gotta say, this yr is probably one of the most satisfying television seasons I've experienced. & yes, I'm addicted to TV.

So, what are some of the best shows out there right now? Well, rather than using my brain power to come up w/ a list, I'll let Maureen Ryan from the Chicago Tribune do it as she gets paid to do so (can someone tell me how I can get a job like hers and/or Whitney's!?)

Maureen's recapped her top 10 shows of this yr, along w/ the top 10 runner ups.

The only ones I don't necessarily agree w/?

Deadwood, The Shield, The Wire & The Closer - mostly because I haven't seen these shows. But really - they're all cable shows, so htey must be good!

LMFAO

So, I don't blog for a couple of days and this is what I come up w/? Simply put, I don't have to put any energy into this & just want to share the lil gem that I came across. Love him, love him, LOVE him!

Are you kidding me!?

Weird...

Rage and Fury

Rob Cohen is not done getting his Bruce Lee fix. The director of 1993's Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story will next work on Rage & Fury. The film will interpose a digital Lee into the story who will speak dialogue from old films. The script is written by Gustin Nash and Jesse Cale.

Loved Dragon - a lot - but can't say that I'm jumping up & down for this one... But from experience I'm sure I'll be eating my words after it actually goes into production and hits the theatre. ;)
