I was in LA during the days of June 18 – 22.  The trip was all about spending time with my god-grandmother so I mostly stayed in the house with a few random visits to the local areas.   Her house has a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean which I spent hours looking at.

So You Think You Can Dance is starting again! I have been a fan since season 4. They completely changed up the format this year. Instead of having 20 new members, they now have 11 newbies teamed up with 11 all-stars (previous season’s best contestants). The new format is a very welcoming change! The show was starting to get stale and this breath a new life into the program.

So Lady Gaga’s new video Alejandro was released not too long ago. It’s very strange and Madonna-ish. I still like Telephone and Bad Romance much better, but I guess you can still call it “artsy”. Side note, I think crazyDiva should try on that gun-bra, it will be a good look for her!

I know the song is getting really old now and that this post should of gone up months ago, but better late then never I guess:

So it has been many months since I blogged, where did I go? Addicted to MMORPG’s of course! 

It first started with a FREE online game called Allods Online.  The game is basically like a free version of WoW… which kind of forces you buy their in game items once you reach the higher levels.  Still, for the $50 I put into the game, it provided me with countless hours of online fun which was totally worth it.

What? Another blog you say? Yes… I am about to start a pure food blog just about the baked goods but don’t worry, it’s just a side project.  Nothin Crazie will still be my main home.

Water that reacts to your emotions?  Say it ain’t so!  It sounds very magical, but it is an interesting topic neverless.  While I do question some of the research presented in the documentary, I do think it’s possible to believe that water can have a “consciousness”.  Watch it yourself and tell me what you think.

As part of my New Year’s resolution to become more compassionate and not as selfish, the first act towards my goal was the donation of $25 to Canadian Red Cross to aid the Haiti earthquake victims.  Lets all try to help and donate!

One of the things I like to do in my free time is to dig up interesting documentaries to watch on youtube (especially scary ghost ones).  I found this interesting documentary (don’t worry, it’s not scary) regarding how the environment affects our genes which are then passed down to future generations.  The lesson of the story?  Take care of your genes, at least until you are finished making babies.

So this holiday’s Boxing Day was quite eventful to say the least.  Even though the deals weren’t as good as previous years (they seem to get worst and worst each year), there were still lineups all over the place.

The original plan was to first stop by Best Buy to enter the $500 draw and to buy a large TV, then stop by HMV to pick up the $10 ipod headphones and the $20 Modern Warfare 2 video game.
