I am sticking with sitcom heartthrobs this week...
It is hard to imagine that this...
Grew up into this...
Follow Neil Patrick Harris on Twitter - he doesn't post much, but when he does he takes full advantage of his 140-characters.
This week's Hottie of the Week is dedicated to my BFF... who I really need to be a little closer so I have someone to go and see chick flicks with...
Channing Tatum with clothes.
Channing Tatum without many clothes.
You can thank me all later.
The Olympics are starting in a few days (I have mentally blocked out the countdown clock that everyone talks about so I really have no idea exactly how many days it is until the Olympics - please forgive me) in Vancouver.
But I am having a hard time with the whole concept of Olympic legacy.
Don't get me wrong - I am the most patriotic Canadian that there is (well - except when we lose at international hockey - then I denounce my citizenship for a couple of hours while I pout and whine and blame everyone from the Zamboni driver to the play-by-play commentators for the loss) (and no worries - I am a dual citizen with Great Britain so it's not like I won't have a back-up nationality) - I will cheer on our athletes like there is no tomorrow... heck - I even stand and sing O Canada when our athletes win gold.
But I just don't see how the Olympics benefits the "regular" person living in Vancouver and Whistler (well - and a few other random rants thrown in for good measure).
For example:
- the tickets are amazingly expensive and you had to have a Visa to buy them
- the IOC won't allow the women to ski jump. Fuck 'em... I'm sorry but I will be boycotting men's ski jumping just because of the double standard (I will be doing the same for baseball in the Summer Olympics since they cut women's softball)
- THE DEBT! The damn debt. You can't tell me that there isn't a correlation between the BC Government's debt and the Olympics... not to mention that they are cancelling surgeries because of the Olympics.
- I am not quite sure how Vancouverites will be able to get around during the Olympics because VANOC seems content on shutting down every major artery. While I agree that it safety is important - Vancouver already sucks ass when it comes to traffic. Good luck anyone that needs to get to work during the games... let the force be with you.
- the fact that they seem to be pushing the homeless aside as opposed to dealing with them. Do I agree that homeless should just "get" new digs? No... but I do think the rightful thing would be to offer affordable housing to them once the games are over and I somehow doubt that will happen.
Again... all the ranting aside - I will be cheering for our Canadian athletes like there is no tomorrow. It isn't their fault that the governments and VANOC are asshats.
PS... I hope you'll all excuse me now because I will probably be sued any minute now for putting the Olympic rings on this post... kind of like the poor guys at Olympic First-Aid in Vancouver.
PPS... I still don't get why an inukshuk is in the logo for the games. The games are being held in southern British Columbia. Where they are making snow hills out of hay. Trust me - there are no inukshuks in a 1000 mile radius of Vancouver.
Blogging.
There once was a month that I posted every day. And lately - well - I have a lot to say (you can just follow me on Twitter @carmenincalgary)... I just can't seem to put it together into a coherent blog post.
But I can tell you one thing.
That going to Target when I am in Seattle on business next week is so important to me that I have researched three different bus routes to take me to one.
Yeah... that is all I have for now.
Hopefully my next post has more substance - or at least a half-naked Hottie of the Week.
Today is Sunday... which means tomorrow is Monday (duh)...
Which means that tomorrow is the best night of sitcoms of the week. I love How I Met Your Mother, Accidentally on Purpose, and the Big Bang Theory.
And I especially love Sheldon...
I {heart} nerds.
I was struggling to think of a Sunday Hottie of the Week today, when I saw a couple of tweets from the lovely @brandyismagic and @racheliza... and they put a picture of this wonderful specimen in my mind...
Feast your eyes on Bradley Cooper.
Oh, to be Renee Zellweger these days...
And yes... I know he's been a Hottie of the Week before... but when I found this half-naked bathtub picture I thought he deserved another appearance!
I am starting off the new year with a vow to get back to my Sunday Hotties of the Week... it honestly seems like every time I watch a movie with Colin Firth in it, I think about starting up my weekly posts again. And since I happen to be watching Love Actually this evening, I thought it was only fitting to post another British hottie for you all to ogle (yes, I just said ogle).
Introducing Matthew Goode.
His new movie Leap Year is coming out on January 8. Anyone want to see it with me? You'll have to understand that I will probably swoon the entire movie though and perhaps even giggle like a schoolgirl at times...
