HAPPY BIRTHDAY ... YOUTUBE?

by Heather the Jane

TADA! Youtube is six this month. The first time I clicked in to watch some videos, it was just my son, Conor, and me and at home. It was close to Christmas, we hadn't a lot to do, but we had an absolute blast viewing Christmas songs together. Oh, oh, oh you've never experienced Jingle Bell Rock till you've seen/heard the Billy Idol version. :-) And watched it with my happy Conor-the-kins!

OSCAR PICKS - PART DEUX

Okay, Heather’s had her say. Now it’s Norah’s turn to pick the Oscar winners.

Best Movie  I’m predicting The Social Network will snag Best Picture. I have to admit my personal favourite was Inception (OMG, I completely forgot one of those layers until the film jerked me back up!), but I don’t think it’s going to take the prize. If The Social Network gets derailed by anything, I think it’ll be by The King’s Speech.

OSCAR PICKS

We know you've been waiting for it, so here it is! Wilson Doherty's Oscar picks in a few of the main categories. Today, we present picks by the Doherty half of this writing team. Tomorrow, the Wilson half will weigh in.

Heather's picks:
 
Best Picture
I'm picking Inception. Over and over again! I loved this movie. Top to bottom. I didn't take my eyes off the screen for a moment. (At least I don't think I did. May have been dreaming....) That was a thrill ride extraordinaire, and well, not a smidgen of romance! Which I kind of like. Oh oh oh and any movie that puts the line, “Dude, check your totum” into popular culture just has to win.

LONELY DOLLS, UNEARTHED

By Heather the Jane

No, I didn't buy one of these little dolls. But oh, had I only found them in time for Christmas ... stocking stuffers for everyone on my list. (I can now picture every one on said list, breathing a sigh of relief.)

From the Etsy item page for these beauties: “These dolls are dug up from the bone yard of an old doll Factory in Germany and are original...they are not whole...they are broken from mistreatment and dirty from living underground.”

I got a serious chill when looking around the Etsy website and I came across these dolls. There really is a feel to them – lonely, searching, calling-out even. Check it out ... maybe one is calling out to you. Can you hear it weeping? Or whispering your name again and again on the darkest night of your life? Edging every so closer, until you turn on the light, and then .... Oh God, and then!

Okay, okay! Now I do have to order one.
