Breakfast




My breakfast this morning consisted of M&M’s and a hazelnut coffee. It was pretty good. I eventually ended up adding some M&M’s in the coffee…Some people at work thought it was gross but it wasn’t. The coffee just looked darker and the taste was extra chocolaty. Good way to start the day I tell you.  Also, don’t you like my M&M's bowl? It’s made of a large post it note….soooo creative.

Oatmeal with a Colourful Twist


This morning I finally got the chance to try the mixed berry oatmeal from Tim Horton’s. I had previously tried, but they didn’t have it (even though they had signs all over Timmy’s promoting it…sadness!) Anyways, I got my oatmeal and it looked good given that it had mixed berries, but the taste was blah - It was pretty bland. I decided to add sugar and it was so much better. I know that it wasn’t not healthy choice since I overdue the whole sugar thing, but it made a big difference. After I had eaten the top part, with all the berries, the oatmeal looked extremely boring and dull, so I decided to add some M&M’s that I had at my desk (bad influence from the coworkers I tell you). The oatmeal looked colourful and alive. The taste was really good – very chocolaty and the crunchiness of the M&M shells was a nice touch. I will mention that after a while the M&M’s start melting and when you mix it all together the oatmeal looks a little a gross…haha… but it tastes good J 


Next time you have an oatmeal just add some M&M’s and enjoy.

This movie looks good. I'm sure it will get lots of buzz during award season and will do well at the Oscars.

Trailer for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo



The latest book I read was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the book was awesome!! I strongly recommend the book for everyone to read. I am not a fan of reading, but I read the book pretty fast. The story is really interesting – the crime and mystery makes you want to keep reading and reading. If you haven’t read it, go read it!

Read the book before the movie comes out on December 23, 2011.




Here is a look at the trailer:

Returning Shows for 2011/2012


On Monday I made an entry listing the some of the new shows I am interested in watching for the new TV season. Today my post is a list of returning shows that I will be watching and recommend for everyone to watch.

I like all these shows so I will be listing it in order of the season premier night.

Sons Of Anarchy - An outlaw motorcycle club dealing with guns, drugs, gangs, family issues, & the law.... Awesome show!! The first two episodes of this season that I have seen have not been disappointing - they are really setting it up for another great season. (FX Tuesday at 9pm)





Modern Family – Winner of multiple Emmy’s this past weekend, including Best Comedy. It’s a really funny and entertaining show. If you haven’t seen any episode that is fine, just start watching the show…now!! I do recommend watching the pilot; it’s one of my favourite episodes. (ABC/CTV Sept 21 at 9pm...Tonight)





The Big Bang Theory – Another funny show! I have been watching the show since the first episode and still remains as one of my favourite shows. The crazyness the nerdy guys do on the show is hilarious. Plus, Kaley Cuoco is on the show….bonus points there. (CBS/CTV Sept 22 at 8pm)





The Amazing Race – The best reality show on TV for sure. And it won that title again this year at the Emmy’s….it has been winning everyone single year! You get to travel all over the world from the comfort of your own home. (CBS/CTV Sept 25 at 8pm)





Boardwalk Empire – Golden Globe Winner for Best Drama. It has the drama, fighting, killing, and other illegal activities that make the show stand out. The visuals are also pretty cool to see. It’s a well written, produced and directed period show. (HBO Sept 25 at 9pm)





Dexter – Crazy awesome show! The major story for each season has always been good! Season 4 and 5 definitely stand out for me and I am sure season 6 will not disappoint. (Showtime Oct 2 at 9pm)





The Walking Dead – A great post apocalyptic horror TV show. And if you are into zombies, you will like it even more. I like the whole fighting for survival aspect of the show…who knows, that may actually happen in real life….scary! (AMC Oct 16 at 9pm)





Other shows:

Glee – I still like it but not as much as I did back in season one. Season two was just all over the place and it had too many artist episodes, which were pointless and annoying. I hope this season is better and gets back to what it was in season one. (FOX/Global  Tuesday at 8pm)




Nikita – A good action show and it reminds me of Alias. (The CW Sept 23 at 8pm)
