Nov. 5 News: I read in the Metro that guys like girls who laugh at their jokes. Girls like guys who make them laugh. That's interesting. I remember this time way back in 2005, I was working at Roots.
Jordan: So what do you think of that new guy (Jason)?
Me: He's cool. We worked a shift together and we talked the entire time.
J: You should go out with him.
Me (burst out laughing): Yeah right!
J: No, seriously.
Me: No.
J (stomps his foot): No, I'm serious!
Look, Jason and I didn't really click because I told him all these jokes, and he didn't laugh at any of them. Sheesh, even my sister laughs at the occassional one here and there. I guess I'm like a guy who always tries to make people laugh with these jokes I hear.
In other news, I was reading in 24 that bike messengers make 30-40 deliveries a day, and can make $150 in a day. Good money, but I don't know about respect. You're athletic to do that, and it's fun to ride a bike all day, but no one is going to say to you: "Wow, that's really good."
Cold: I had a really bad cold yesterday, but now it's gotten better. I went to work and stayed there for the whole shift. My voice is very hoarse and raspy, but I still managed to get two completes.
I was kind of in a bad mood about how there are a lot of things lost in lustre. Like how I used to like working in retail like Roots, but then didn't like Urban Planet. How I liked working in a call centre like Ipsos, but Malatest isn't that good. The pay is well above min. wage. Throw in how Tosh. O isn't that good, and Heroes isn't as good either, though I watch both of them.
James Frain: In other news, it seems this actor James Frain is making appearances everywhere. I first saw him in In Plain Sight where he's a good guy, but then turns out to be kind of shady. Then he's on Lie to Me playing a bad guy. Then I saw him on Law and Order: SVU playing a bad guy again. Of course, the biggest name guest- star is often the guy who did it.
I did get this random flashback. You know how I said I liked The Listener ep where they caught a rapist? I then remembered way back when Las Vegas came out, and I liked the ep where they caught a rapist too. Very Law and Order: SVU.
Unintentionally funny: I was watching The City with my sister, and she says: "You know, this is what The Hills is missing. Showing people at work, and having their bosses yell at them." Come to think of it, on The Hills this season, I didn't see anybody work.
Funny: Here is something that is supposed to be funny. I checked out Comedy Network, and South Park was on. They did a parody of Patrick's two favorite reality shows Whale Wars and Deadliest Catch about two boats out at sea. In the first one it's about Greenpeace trying to stop the Japanese from killing whales and dolphins.
In the second one, it's about fisherman catching fish. These two boats bump into each other out in the ocean and start a fight with each other and the Japanese.
Nov. 6 Analyze comedy: You know how I said earlier where Michael Phelps said: "I used to get picked on a lot when I was in school. Actually it's kind of funny, when I go out to dinner with my mom, the people I used to go to school with are now servers there." The audience laughs.
I am trying to write a joke. What if MP had said: "This girl used to pick on me a lot when I was in school. And then she got pregnant as a teenager, and then everybody picked on her." I don't know if the audience would laugh at that. People will want to know what happened to the baby.
If M said: "Then she got an abortion." Well abortion's not funny.
If M said: "Then she miscarried." Well that's not funny either.
If M said: "Then she kept the kid and raised it as her own. Now she lives on welfare and we're all wasting our tax money on her." That's still not funny.
I was like: "C'mon, I'm sure you've heard teen pregnancy jokes before." Yeah, there was sketch on MadTV where they had Jamie Lynn Spears appear on the Dancing with the Stars show. Arden Myrin dressed up like her, and was dancing around with a huge baby bump. Not really funny, at least to me. Or the one with comedian Daniel Tosh talking about the TV show 16 and Pregnant: "I'm sure all the episodes are shot in Utah." Well that's more of a shot at Utah than pregnant teenagers.
I just went and typed into Google "Teen pregnancy jokes" and here's a link: http://www.unwind.com/jokes-funnies/sexjokes/teenpreg.shtml
I find it mildly funny because of the stupidity and misinformation about it. Here's a joke: "Make sure all your teachers know you are pregnant, so they will have reduced expectations for you, allowing you to skate through junior high."
Dark jokes: I then thought about how I heard jokes about statutory rape and pedophilia and that can be funny. It's weird that you can make fun of something illegal and laugh at it. Remember the joke:
Ed the Sock: So you're 17 right?
Avril Lavigne: Yeah.
Ed: Yeah, well I guess you're a little too old for R. Kelly.
I told this joke to my friend Jessica way back in 2005. She had to cover her mouth when she was laughing at it.
Or the MadTV sketch where they made fun of Maury and his wife Connie Chung on the TV show A Moment of Truth.
Maury: When I'm with Connie, I imagine I'm really with Dakota Fanning.
The audience says: "Ohhhh."
Crazy news: I was watching 20/20 and it talked about the massacre that occurred yesterday at that military base. The killer was a military psychiatrist of Palestinian descent. There were signs that he was suicidal because he gave away all his furniture and things to this woman who lived in his apartment building.
In August he legally bought a gun. He got poor performance reviews, and he got a lawyer to try to get him out of the military. He started dressing more in his traditional religious garment. He was being bullied by the military because of his race. I would have suggested he get as much money as possible, and run away or fake his death to get out of the military. Sure, that may sound stupid, but he isn't hurting anyone that way.
They talked to this military woman Kira who had a bullet graze the top of her head. She showed that there was blood on top of of her head. The killer is in a coma at the hospital.
Nov. 7 Rihanna: The other half was about Rihanna and how she got assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown way back in Feb. I'm not really a fan of either of them, but I learned a lot. R did grow up with domestic violence. She saw her dad hit her mom. I did know that CB grew up seeing his stepdad hit his mom.
R didn't stay with C, because she thought about her fans and other girls would see that to go back to their boyfriends who hit them. It was kind of interesting this one part:
Diane Sawyer: You know the average statistic is that it takes a woman 7 times to leave her boyfriend for good.
R: Actually it's about 8 or 9 times.
Compound W: In other news, there is this product called Compound W that removes warts. I tried it on my finger, and it wasn't very effective. I showed this product to my doctor, and he said the same thing. I just wanted to make sure so he won't say: "Yeah, it is effective if you have a small wart" or "Stay away from that product, it makes it worse."
You guys should go to the doctor to have the wart frozen and removed. That product is like $12.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart. Not worth it. Or my sister says use duct tape on the wart. She said she got them from reading Ann Landers.
Oct. 8 Stupid criminals: I read on Yahoo that this 23- yr- old wanted criminal didn't like the Wanted pic in the newspaper of himself. He then sent the newspaper a better mug shot. They printed it. However, he still has not been found.

dating/ job tips/ safety tips
Nov. 2 Dating: Since the route with J didn't work out, I'm back on the online dating circuit. Yeah, it is work and does take effort. I have to look at pictures, read profiles, tailor emails to people. I'm going to put about half an hour into this. I need to make this fun by listening to music, and making myself think by doing this I can prevent writer's block.
Charity: Today the Children's Leukemia Research called me for donations. We did the same song and dance of the "dream donation" which is $97 or as the guy on the phone said: "A week's worth of groceries." Then he goes and asks for the $10 I donated last time. I told him I donated a lot of money to other charities which is true.
Also throw in the fact, that I had given a substantial amount of money to somebody that I won't get back. At least it helped his rent. I did tell them that I'll tell my friends about it. So go donate to them if you want.
H1N1: It's weird. Back in May, my sister was traveling and she said she was scared of it. Now it's November, and now I'm feeling the fear. I can't get the shot because all the clinics are closed, and when it does come back it's for pregnant women, children are under 5, people with chronic health conditions. 400,000 people did get the shot.
Job tips: I read this in 24: "Do not bring your friends or parents (yes, this actually happened) to sit in the lobby while you are having your interview because you have plans afterwards." That is so bad. That reminds me of the old TV show Street Cents where it said don't bring your family or friends to cheer you on during the interview.
Do not exaggerate on your resume that says you're "the sole proprieter of a landscaping company" when you mowed your neighbor's grass.
When asked why you want this job, don't say: "because it's good company."
Don't say you like your past job because it wasn't too much work.
Nov. 3 Happy: I was thinking about Degrassi: The Next Generation where Anya was talking to Holly J.
Anya: You can never be happy, can you? You're student president, you're a local hero, and you got a guy and you're still not happy.
Well it's something to think about.
Rant: Here's a mild rant. I was thinking about Kanye West at the MTV Music Video Awards about how Beyonce should have won, and not Taylor Swift. This is from 1999, but I still want to say it.
It was for the same award show, but the category was best dance choreography. Ricky Martin won for "Livin' La Vida Loca." The dancing was good for the video with the energy. Ricky wasn't doing the same dance moves as his dancers were. RM was 28 at the time now that I checked imdb.com.
Who should have won was old New Kids on the Block member Jordan Knight's video "Give it to You." I loved the dancing to it because it was so creative, and to the beat. I was really impressed with it. JK also did the same choreography as his 20- something year old back dancers were doing. JK was like 30. I had to check to make sure.
Well check out the videos and go compare it.
Teen pregnancy: Here's my favorite topic again. It's interesting when I asked Ray this question: "Which is worse? The teen girls who want to get pregnant on Maury or the ones on Tyra?"
Ray: The ones on Tyra are good because they actually get to the issue, and stop them from getting pregnant.
I have deliberated a long time on it. The girls on Maury are misbehaved, but at least they're smart enough to know that they're going to live on welfare. The girls on Tyra are well- behaved, but they aren't smart enough to live on welfare. I'll give it to Tyra, because she can prevent these teen girls from getting pregnant. It could be as simple as a girl watching herself on the show and realizing how stupid she sounded.
Writer's block: I've been reading the newspaper, and doing other forms of writing like email. It's kind of funny, I was watching The Mentalist and they did an episode that reminded me of something I wrote way back in 1997. In the ep, the CBI team have to figure out who murdered this person or is it a ghost. It occurred in an old mansion.
I wrote a TV show about a family moving into this old mansion. The show was called The Ransom Mansion. It was a mystery about finding a treasure in it, kind of like The Mentalist ep. However, I never really developed the story.
I haven't had these kind of flashbacks since the summer when I was watching The Listener. In one ep, Toby and Oz have to get $100, 000 to save Oz's parent's restaurant. They decide to solve a murder mystery to win the cash reward.

Nov. 4: Wait, I know what my favorite Listener ep is. It's where they catch a rapist. It was like Law and Order: SVU.
Safety tips: I read in the Journal where they go more in depth about how this 16 year old girl was kidnapped and raped by a guy who posed as a cop. She said she watches CSI, and she tried to leave as much evidence as possible.
She went and touch everything so she could leave her fingerprints for the cops to find it. She pulled out strands from her hair and left them everywhere. She also made herself seem more human by telling the captor about all the good qualities of herself like how she was on the honour roll. Eventually after 3 days he did let her go. She called her dad and now the guy is behind bars.
News: Today I read about the Calgary Flames getting H1N1 shots and they're not the high- risk group. What's weird, is that I'm not really annoyed. Maybe because I don't care about hockey. What annoys me more is teen girls who get pregnant so they could live on welfare. That's an ongoing thing. As for this, the hockey players did this for one pandemic. It's bad, and somebody did get fired. A lot of people hate them and everybody knows about it, so it's taken care of.
Cold: In other news, I have a cold. I had gotten a sore throat at the end of the day at work. This morning, I went to work. I was coughing. I even asked the supervisor Rob for medicine.
Rob: I don't have any, and even if I did, I can't do that.
Me: Because it's illegal to give drugs to your employees?
Rob: Yes, go ask your co-workers.
I asked Mary, and she gave me a couple Tylenols.
I thought I could tough it out because it isn't like working at the restaurant where I have to move a lot. I'm sitting and calling people. However, at 12:30pm, I was allowed to go home. I took some more cough medicine like I did when I woke up at 3am this morning. Then I called the local doctor's clinic, but they were booked solid. I went and slept for a couple of hours.
Took some Cold FX. Drank some chicken noodle soup and mushroom soup. Last month I did have a cold, but I took some Chinese medicine and everything worked out in a couple of days.
My sister did say if I have a shortness of breath, that's when I go to the hospital. I didn't get the H1N1 shot yet because I have work and I'm not a high- risk group.
My sister did say if I have a shortness of breath, that's when I go to the hospital. I didn't get the H1N1 shot yet because I have work and I'm not a high- risk group.
I'm also using the old computer, because Patrick doesn't want me using the new one because he doesn't want to catch a cold.
Good: In good news, Malatest is the only call centre that doesn't require everybody to work a weekend shift. At Ipsos, you have to work on a Fri., Sat. or Sun. At Leger, you have to work on a Sat.
Tosh.O: It was kind of weird on this show. They showed a clip where 2 Arab guys are rollerskating, and they're holding onto a car as the car is driving down the highway. That's really dangerous. I thought it was weird, because I've seen teenage boys do this on TV.
Daniel: I thought they rode on magic carpets. Send in your videos doing that same thing too. No, I'm just kidding, don't do that!
Enzo: This name seems to be popping up. I see a 6 yr old boy on The Hills have that name. I then was watching Law and Order: SVU, and a teen boy had that name. I looked it up, and Enzo is Italian, and it's short for Lorenzo.
Enzo was the name of a character on the old kids TV show Reboot.

costume/ kidsploition/ cathexis
Oct. 30 Costume: Today I was on the bus, and I saw a guy dressed as the Kool Aid jug. You know he's pink with a smiley face. He was on the street. lol.
Joke: I was thinking about that online dating guy who asked me sexual questions. It reminded me of a joke I heard on the TV show 2gether about a fictional boy band. Chad (Noah Bastian) and Mickey (Alex Solowitz) in a scene together.
Chad: I never kissed a girl before.
Mickey: But you've had had sex right?
lol. That was stupid, but it gets a pass because it's fictional and it's trying to be funny.
Stupid criminals: I read in 24 yesterday about how this guy was dressed up like a clown, and he was driving drunk. Then he hit a police car. Stupidity.
Unintentionally funny: Today I did a survey for MacEwan. I did one a couple of weeks ago, but this time this a different survey. It's kind of funny. I go to work, and I get people to do surveys, and now I'm on the receiving end of one. lol. You should all do surveys. Maybe it's because I've done call centres, so I do feel sympathy.
Nickelback: It's weird, I never really liked this rock band since they came out in 2001. I remember writing in an email back in 2005 and just talking to Justin about it last weekend. It was about how I like 91.7 The Bounce radio station. In 2005, there was the radio station 96X and then it changed from Top 40 to country. 96X always played Nickelback.
I had changed to the Bounce because they play Top 40, but more dance, R&B, and no rock. 96X changed, and then the Bounce started playing Nickelback. It's like I can never get away from them. Well I don't hate them, I'm not interested.
This morning I was checking what's on TV tonight, and then Nickelback came on. I decided to stay. The vid was "I'd Come for You." I liked the vid because there's a good story with it. You got drama, tension, and action. You can look it up on Youtube or I'll spoil the story for you in the next paragraph.
Cut to a teen girl leaving her house, and her dad is at the door. She says goodbye, and he asks "Who's that?" She doesn't answer, so she just enters the car. She and the guy are driving and then they pull over. They kiss a bit, but then he pushes her to do more. She then calls her dad's cell phone, he picks up. There is no answer. Then he hangs up, and gets a text that says 77. I thought it was really creative, because then the dad looks at the framed pic of the daughter, and the guy. They're both wearing baseball jerseys that have 7 on them. Dad gets into his truck and drives and pulls up to the car.
The dad pulls out the boyfriend, and punches him in the face. He pulls the key out of the ignition, hugs his daughter. Boyfriend comes at him with a tire iron, dad turns around, blocks the bf's hand with the tire iron. Dad then punches him again in the face, and throws the car keys away.
Dad takes his daughter home. Simple story, but I liked it. It kind of reminds me of 3 Doors Down video "Let Me Go." I told you about it, because Ed the Sock made fun of it. How a guy finds out his gf is a stripper, and he acts like he's not happy about it. Well then it turns out the gf is doing this, because she has a baby to support.
Kidsploition: I was reading an article about "Kidsplotion" about kids being exploited for TV. It's because of that balloon boy. They talked a bit about Kid Nation. I only saw one ep of the reality TV series where you get 50 kids living together on this small town and see how they run things.
People like to watch kids, because they're cute, funny, and unpredictable. But they don't know about being exploited. In the article it said something about some kids were recruited so they could get exposure because they're actors and models. Some kids were recruited from private schools because they're smart and were told they could change the world if they do this kind of show.
I remember watching Jay Leno, and sometimes they have kids as the guests. I don't feel the kids were exploited. They were in for a short time showcasing talent. They had one 9 yr old boy who wrote a short book and got it published. They interviewed this 6 yr old Asian boy who plays the piano beautifully. The interview was kind of funny.
Jay: So I heard you recently graduated out of kindergarten?
Kid: No, college! Uh, just kidding.
It's so cute how he had to quickly add "Just kidding" in case anyone believes a 6 yr old can really graduate out of college.
Jay Leno: I read in the Journal that his show is doing 30% less ratings than his competitors. However, it's okay because his show is cheap to produce.
In other entertainment news, I read that the Flashforward supervising producer has been fired, and now they're going with more of Heroes- esque show. Make it more sci- fi instead of a soap opera.
Russian Road Roulette: I read this in 24. It's where people bet on cars to speed through red lights in busy intersections and not hit other cars or pedestrians. That is really bad driving. It kind of sounds like a good idea for a movie, but it has been done: The Fast and the Furious.
Recession: Burger King isn't doing really well during the recession. However, McDonald's is good with their $1 menu. Though I have read all 3 locations in Iceland is now closing. The newspaper the National Post hasn't been making a lot of profit since it came out in 1998 and may have to lay off 277 employees.
Dance: Remember in So You Think You Can Dance season 4? The runner up was Twitch (Stephen Boss.) He's in a movie playing the antagonist Taz in Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming.
Oct. 31 Unoriginal: I was watching Flashpoint yesterday, and Gina Holden was in it. She played a woman who tried to leave this cult. GH has been on many Canadian shows like Blood Ties, Flash Gordon, and Harper's Island. I felt this ep was unoriginal with the cult leader going to murder everybody by putting them in a building and setting ammonia in it.
I've seen this on Dollhouse, but where they were setting the place on fire. Also on Criminal Minds where everybody drank this poison. Well it's probably based on real life story of Waco about a cult and the place was set on fire. Though I will say Flashpoint, Dollhouse, and Criminal Minds are all very well- written shows.
The Listener: During the commercial breaks, I watched The Listener. Then it occurred to me that I don't really have a favorite episode of this show. I was talking to my friend Ray about it and she says it's "well- written." It's on Fridays at 5pm on Space.
Nov. 1 McDonald's: I told you earlier that all 3 McDonald's in Iceland are closing down. Well I read that everybody is rushing to get their last Big Mac before it's gone forever. lol. It kind of reminds me of when I bought the last British boy band Five cd. They had three in total. I always liked them when they first came out.
In light news, I read that the TV show Trauma has gotten canceled. I did in read the Journal when it first came out, it got a bad review for their stock characters.
Cathexis: I learned a new word today. From dictionary.com, it means "the investment of emotional significance in an activity, object, or idea."
Pook: There's a new store at City Centre. It sells everything made of socks, like monkey stuff animals. It sprung up overnight this week. Maybe it's only temporary for the holiday season. I don't see how it could last longer than the holiday season.
Joke: I was thinking about that online dating guy who asked me sexual questions. It reminded me of a joke I heard on the TV show 2gether about a fictional boy band. Chad (Noah Bastian) and Mickey (Alex Solowitz) in a scene together.
Chad: I never kissed a girl before.

GH has been on many Canadian shows like Blood Ties, Flash Gordon, and Harper's Island. I felt this ep was unoriginal with the cult leader going to murder everybody by putting them in a building and setting ammonia in it.
I've seen this on Dollhouse, but where they were setting the place on fire. Also on Criminal Minds where everybody drank this poison. Well it's probably based on real life story of Waco about a cult and the place was set on fire. Though I will say Flashpoint, Dollhouse, and Criminal Minds are all very well- written shows.
The Listener: During the commercial breaks, I watched The Listener. Then it occurred to me that I don't really have a favorite episode of this show. I was talking to my friend Ray about it and she says it's "well- written." It's on Fridays at 5pm on Space.
Nov. 1 McDonald's: I told you earlier that all 3 McDonald's in Iceland are closing down. Well I read that everybody is rushing to get their last Big Mac before it's gone forever. lol. It kind of reminds me of when I bought the last British boy band Five cd. They had three in total. I always liked them when they first came out.
In light news, I read that the TV show Trauma has gotten canceled. I did in read the Journal when it first came out, it got a bad review for their stock characters.
Cathexis: I learned a new word today. From dictionary.com, it means "the investment of emotional significance in an activity, object, or idea."
Pook: There's a new store at City Centre. It sells everything made of socks, like monkey stuff animals. It sprung up overnight this week. Maybe it's only temporary for the holiday season. I don't see how it could last longer than the holiday season.

Blake McGrath/ funny and weird/ lookalike
Oct. 28 Blake McGrath: You know Blake McGrath? The guy who rejected me when I auditioned for So You Think You Can Dance Canada? lol. Okay, well anyway, his first new single "The Night" off his debut album is on his myspace page: www.myspace.com/blakemcgrathmusic
It's dance/ R&B. That's great. He has songs like "Runway" up too. I've known he's been working on an album since 2006. I have been to his page and he had songs like "The One" and "Dance with Me." It's good that after a few years of working on music, his album will be released by the end of the year. His video is to debut on Muchmusic on Oct. 30.
You can't say that he's lazy. You're like: "He's been doing this album for 3 years?" Well he was judging, and choreographing for SYTYCDC and teaching dance. It's good to know that some people who are really talented, it still takes time for them to become a success.
Funny and Weird: This was back on Oct. 17 and this guy who I pitched my script to emailed me a email that is very unconventional. A lot of rejections are: "We're busy for the next few years, we're doing 3 projects, and we don't do films anymore, etc."This is what Aaron James Sorenson said:
Tracy Au,
How the heck are you? Kind of you to contact me. I don't think I know you. Or do I? I went to university with a Tracy who's last name had only two letters. But I think they were "Ng". She was very nice. I wonder what happened to her.
I hope you survived the professional writing program at MacEwan College. Bunch of crap, I'm sure. You must forget it all as soon as possible. None of your teachers have ever made a movie or they wouldn't be there. None of the how-to-write-a-screenplay books they made you read were written by people with a real writing credit. Crap. Forget it as soon as you can. Especially try to forget things like "character development", and "exposition", yelch... makes me shudder.
If they made you read McKee you can remember most of that, and if they made you read Goldman you can remember all of that. Chances are you read Ackerman and Blake and Field and the bunch. Poor woman. Congratulations that you made it out.
Forgive me. It's late and I'm in an especially truthful mood.
Now as for me, I hate mixed martial arts. And I can't even say "cage-fighting" out loud. Are people still doing that? Not in my world. I really don't want to read that script. And I don't know anything about making movies for TV really anyway. But what can I say, because I like you Tracy Au. Personally I think you are great.
He choses to fight of course or you don't have a movie. But it can't really be about money, it must be about what the money means to him. No one really whores for money, unless they are a whore - and we don't really care for whores, but we care for people who HAVE to whore - for what it is they need the money for is so important it justifies whoring. Did that bad sentence make sense?
It just dawned on me that you might be a man. No problem. I like you all just the same. Well maybe not quite as much, but nearly as much. Either way.
Alex Donovan is too nice a name for a bad guy. Stiller is badder (sic) than Donovan. Might want to think about that.
There is much interest right now in mixed martial arts, you're right. I have an angry and fearful man on Gattis School Road, trying to get me to join something called Krav Maga or something like that here in Texas. I went to the free orientation. He tells people what a dangerous place the world is and they must immediately learn how to gouge out the eyes of attackers. They are all simply mad Tracy. Simply mad.
Peace Country Films is not really a production company that you could be very serious to work with, but it is kind of you to reach out just the same. We are just finishing my/our second feature film. Like the first it is a touching and charming comedy full of heart and affirmation and love. I wouldn't know what to do with a MMA movie anymore than I would know what to do with a doberman if someone left him on my doorstep.
But it was nice chatting with you. I wish you all the best and if I can help in any small way I'm happy to try. I did like the Wrestler a great deal, but that movie had nothing to do with wrestling. Beautiful movie though, didn't you think?
I must go. Nice to hear from a fellow screenwriter and a fellow Albertan.
Cheers,
ajs
Writing: I realized that I haven't been doing much with the script pitching. I did check up on a producer who said she was going to read it in mid- Oct. I also reread an old email about this producer who does documentaries. He offered to give me feedback of the script though no promises. I sent him Rain, the one that I'm working on.
News: Did you know that the Church of Scientology in France has been convicted of fraud? They're fined $900, 000.Did you know that there used to 100, 000 tigers at the beginning of the 20th century. Now it's 3,500 -4,000.
In light news, NBA player Caron Butler admitted that he was addicted to Mountain Dew. He drank like six 12 ounce drinks a day. He quit cold turkey, and he lost 11 pounds that way. Well he could become diabetic if he kept it up. There is lots of sugar in that drink, so I guess that's how he lost the weight. Good for him.
Oct. 30 Writer's block: Well one producer emailed me back on how to fight writer's block. Go to this site and read a screenplay a week. They got new ones out like The Stepfather and Surrogates. Well I watch so much TV, I should be able to fight it.
Vampire Diaries: I saw a really good ep today. Vicky is Jeremy's crush. There is this love triangle between them and this other. In the pilot, Damon attacks V. Later on V is healed. Some eps later, D is weak, and attacks V to gain his strength. V almost gets killed.
D then decides to make her into a vampire because he was stuck in the house all day, and can't leave. V is transitioning. Stefan is trying to help V because he's a good vampire. Then in tonight's ep, V attacks the lead Elena, and Stefan stakes V. V gets killed right in front of Jeremy.
V remains to be a sympathetic character because she can't control her urges. D comes to get rid of the body, and hypnotize J so he won't remember anything and be so hurt by her death. Props to Steven R McQueen who plays J. He was crying and upset, and I really felt for him.
Flashforward: Flashforward was really good. What stood out for me was the lead FBI agent Mark finally meets the guy who his wife Olivia will supposedly be with in 6 months time. Well the flashforward, that's what O saw. It turns out the other guy's flashforward was him in that house. The other guy has an autistic son, and he saw that he was in the house too in his flashforward.
It was weird. There was really good tension and drama written into that scene with that love triangle. There was a good suspense, tension when Mark was trick-or- treating with his daughter, and he sees three guys wearing masks. The same masks that he saw when he was attacked in his flashforward.
Good chase scene where M is running, and climbing over fences, and running through the cemetary looking for him. Of course because it's Halloween. M has his gun and flashlight.
Me: It could be nothing. I don't know.
M rips the guy's mask off and it's a teenage guy.
Teen: I didn't throw the eggs. I only threw toilet paper. Are you going to call my dad?
lol.
Lookalike: I was watching a promo for the TV show White Collar where a FBI agent teams up with a criminal and they solve mysteries together. This criminal looks familiar. I looked it up and it's Matthew Bomer. He played Luc on Tru Calling. Here's a pic:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1640466688/nm0093589
When I saw him in the promo I thought it was Gabriel Olds. Coincidentally, GO was also on an ep of Tru Calling. They have the same wavy, dark hair style, facial features, body build.
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4152399616/nm0646192
It's dance/ R&B. That's great. He has songs like "Runway" up too. I've known he's been working on an album since 2006. I have been to his page and he had songs like "The One" and "Dance with Me."

Hide and Seek/ inspirational/ Scream 2009
Oct. 25 Hide and Seek: Last night I saw the horror movie Hide and Seek. It stars Robert DeNiro as a dad who lost his wife, and how he moves his daughter (Dakota Fanning) and himself to a new home outside of the city. The good is that it had good acting, story, and the big plot twist at the end. The plot twist was so good, it was like the one in The Sixth Sense. I was impressed with it. It was very creative.
The bad is that there is too much drama, and not enough scares. There are a few good scares here and there. This movie kind of reminded me of White Noise. Both horror movies with lots of drama. I still recommend you watch it for the plot twist.
Postsecret.com: I was on this site reading secrets and one person said that he is writing his secret by sending an email because he can't afford a stamp and a postcard. He and his family are living in a storage unit illegally and it gets very cold at night. He says he knows it's his fault.
I guess I need to think of this the next time I feel angry. I could be worse.
Tosh.O: Hey guys, one of my favorite summer shows is back. It came back at the beginning of this month. I was like: "Damn, I missed the first 2 eps." Well at least I get to watch it now. Daniel Tosh had cut his hair, and it's more of a shaved look. I don't know, now that two months have gone by since the last time I saw his show, the show seemed to lost it's lustre.
As in, it doesn't seem that funny anymore. It's interesting to see Dan wear a cardigan instead of a hoodie like he always wears.
Oct. 26 Job: Today I went and actually worked at Malatest. The first hour was frustrating because I didn't know what to do. Then I did training by listening to this Asian girl Mary interview. After that, I was then able to actually get a complete in the morning. Afterwards, I got 2 people who did some of the survey, and a lot of people refusing to do the survey.
Analyze: This job seems to have lost it's lustre. The last time I worked at call centres were Ipsos and Leger in 2006. Then I did that one day of training at Malatest in 2007. Basically it's been a few years since I have done call centres. After the initial frustration was gone, it was pretty boring. At least I'm not angry and I don't feel overworked.
Banks: I read in the Metro today that 106 US banks closed down this year. Dozens or hundreds of banks are still open even though they are really weak, so expect some more to close down.
Dance: I was watching some of the American So You Think You Can Dance. They have a new stage for their 6th season and it's in Hollywood. This is the first time they have this show on during the fall, it's usually in the summer. There was one last summer, but if they want more money, the fine do two seasons this year.
Oct. 27 Writing: I remember reading Metro where they talked about the hoax of the balloon boy. It said: "There is an anti- climatic ending when the boy was hiding in the attic."
Me: Yeah an anti- climatic ending is like "it was all a dream."
When I told this to Ray, she laughed.
Goods: Today at work, was better. Yesterday I only got 1 complete. I got 5 completes. One was kind of freebie because it was half completed.
Then my dad and I talked about it, and how you should think right now I'm saving a lot, but you have to think of the future and how to survive on wages.
Inspirational: I was reading about Hilary Swank and her movie about Amelia Heart. She says: "I guess what I took away is- you only live once so you might as well be doing what you love. I think if Amelia was alive today she'd still be ahead of her time. My life's just richer walking around with her in my heart."
Swank actually learned how to fly: "You can't be Amelia Earhart without flying a plane. When you're a kid, there are so many firsts that you are experiencing all the time, like how to read or how to ride a bike, and they are euphoric. But when you're a grownup, there's not a lot of firsts anymore. I learned how to fly for the film and it was euphoric because it took me back to that feeling I had learning how to ride a bike. You are completely immersed, and it's dangerous, it's adventurous, it's all of the things that I love that I think Amelia loved."
Rant: Here's a mild rant. The new computer wasn't working, and it deleted all our bookmarks. I was annoyed that it deleted my Secret Life of the American Teenager twop.com thread. I watch the show on Youtube, and then read people's comments dissing it. Now I don't know what page the thread is on. Maybe twop will kind of still have it if I log on, but I don't know.
H1N1: I read in the paper that it's like 3-4 hr wait to get the H1N1 shot because there are only 5 sites in this big of city. There should be way more.
Now I got this weird flashback of Scary Movie 3. In the beginning, Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy are making fun of The Ring. The phone is ringing on the wall.
JM: Wow, that is so weird. There is only 1 phone in this big of a house.
Dream: The other rant is that my dad's alarm went off when he wasn't there, and it woke up my sister so she turned it off. Then it went off again, and then I had to turn it off. There were two alarms on that one clock. It woke me from this dream. Something about trying to put out a fire on a bus, and then there was another fire on a second bus. I then left because I realized I couldn't put out the fire.
Something about Sylar (Zachary Quinto) from Heroes in my bed. Well I was watching that show last night. lol.
Oct. 28 Psychic: I was talking to my dad yesterday, and he said a call centre is one step above than working at a restaurant. That brings me to think of that psychic Nadia. Well she said I would get an office job Feb. or Mar. 2010. A call centre is kind of like an office job. So did I prove her wrong? Well this job isn't bad.
Zillions: In other random thoughts, I thought about the old kids magazine called Zillions. It was a kids magazine, and it was educational and fun. I learned a lot. I remember way back in 2000, you can submit comments on their website about these fall TV shows. I wrote a comment about Dark Angel, and they put it up. lol.
If I remember correctly, the other kids reviews were average about it. I do remember reading reviews of Noah Knows Best. It was created by the Ken Lipman who also did the show The Secret World of Alex Mack which I really liked. I gave the Noah show a good review. I found it average. It was a comedy, but I remember only laughing once. The lead guy Phillip Glen Van Dyke was cute.
Coincidentally, Jessica Alba from Dark Angel was also on Alex Mack playing a mean girl in the first season. I remember way back in 2002, I saw some Alex Mack on Realplayer. JA is 13 years old on the show, but her voice is the same. Zillions.org then went online which is how a lot of magazines kind of stay afloat even though it folded.
Scream 2009: Patrick was checking out what's on Spike, and Scream 2009 was on. It's an awards show for mainly horror flicks. It was fun like Teen Choice Awards and MTV Movie Awards. The award is a stake, but like made of a black stone. There are Best Horror Actor, Best Horror Actress. The nominees and winners were like Taylor Lautner from Twilight, Anna Paquin from True Blood. In the audience, I saw The Vampire Diaries Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley.
There were a lot of people dressed up in their Halloween costumes. One of the best parts was when they said farewell to Battlestar Galatica. They had the cast there, and it was good to see one of my fave actors Michael Trucco there. He didn't say anything in the mike. I don't watch BSG, I just like MT.
The bad is that there is too much drama, and not enough scares. There are a few good scares here and there. This movie kind of reminded me of White Noise. Both horror movies with lots of drama. I still recommend you watch it for the plot twist.
Postsecret.com: I was on this site reading secrets and one person said that he is writing his secret by sending an email because he can't afford a stamp and a postcard. He and his family are living in a storage unit illegally and it gets very cold at night. He says he knows it's his fault.

It was created by the Ken Lipman who also did the show The Secret World of Alex Mack which I really liked. I gave the Noah show a good review. I found it average. It was a comedy, but I remember only laughing once. The lead guy Phillip Glen Van Dyke was cute.
Coincidentally, Jessica Alba from Dark Angel was also on Alex Mack playing a mean girl in the first season. I remember way back in 2002, I saw some Alex Mack on Realplayer. JA is 13 years old on the show, but her voice is the same. Zillions.org then went online which is how a lot of magazines kind of stay afloat even though it folded.
Scream 2009: Patrick was checking out what's on Spike, and Scream 2009 was on. It's an awards show for mainly horror flicks. It was fun like Teen Choice Awards and MTV Movie Awards. The award is a stake, but like made of a black stone. There are Best Horror Actor, Best Horror Actress. The nominees and winners were like Taylor Lautner from Twilight, Anna Paquin from True Blood. In the audience, I saw The Vampire Diaries Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley.
There were a lot of people dressed up in their Halloween costumes. One of the best parts was when they said farewell to Battlestar Galatica. They had the cast there, and it was good to see one of my fave actors Michael Trucco there. He didn't say anything in the mike. I don't watch BSG, I just like MT.

crazy/ late bloomers/ nice
Oct. 22 Crazy: Today during my break at 1pm, the fire alarm was pulled and some guy starts yelling "Fire!" Everybody gets up, and the restaurants start closing up. A lot of people left, but then 3 fire fighters came in. These rumors were being spread that someone sprayed pepper spray around McDonalds and people couldn't breathe.
Then someone pulled the fire alarm because of it. I respect the security guards who work here. I see them escorting a lot of people out of the mall. It was crazy because yesterday the alarm was pulled too because of that gunman some blocks away.
Rant: Everything goes back to normal, but I'm annoyed that it did hurt our business because no one really bought a lot of food afterward. I'll then add my co- worker was then telling this couple to get a room when they were ordering food. Then the next couple over, I was helping, the guy there starts talking to the co- worker.
The guy got so angry, he left and his girlfriend shrugged and followed him. Couple 1 did stay and eat the food they ordered. Well I'm very annoyed. This is the 16th month I'm working here. When I was at Malatest sitting by this woman listening to her do the interview, I felt really bored.
I hope this call center job does work out. I think I'm annoyed at the Soup place because not everybody shows up for work everyday. I know they can't be like me and have perfect attendance, but I do feel overworked. I want them to hire more people.
Happiness: You may be thinking: "Oh what Tracy? How come you're not happy today?" Maybe because I rushed home and The Vampire Diaries and The Mentalist only to find out they were reruns. Well I did see a new ep of Flashforward. It was so cool, at the end, the good FBI agents look like they're done for when the car they got in exploded.
Then the four agents are still alive, and are shooting at the bad guys. They kill a couple of them, and then the 2 of them get away. The female FBI agent gets attacked, but fights off the bad guy in a good fight scene. Then she gets shot, but at least she shoots the bad guy. It's a cliff hanger if she will live.
I did see some of The City and checked out 90210. It seems I only like to watch these shows with my sister.
Writing: I'm hitting some writer's block because I only did some editing today, and wrote a scene yesterday. Though Conni Massing's questions are good: "Why do your characters do these things?" It's a lot to think about. I can find inspiration by reading about TV. I'll admit a couple of weeks back I was reading people's comments about Full House and Boy Meets World.
Oct. 23 Late Bloomers: I was reading in The Globe and Mail about late bloomers. Did you know that Tina Fey lost her virginity at 24? Chris Martin from Coldplay and Brooke Shields lost their virginities at 22.
There are forums called "I am a Late Bloomer", "I'm Still a Virgin and Don't Want to Be", and "48- year- old Virgin." It's on www.ExperienceProject.com where people share "Personal stories about Life Expereinces." One woman who is a 24- yr- old virgin said she scared away 2 guys.
Me: I scared away one guy.
At the end of the article, Jessica O' Reilly, sexologist says: "Choosing to postpone partnered sex until a later age can be a healthy decision, as long as it's motivated by personal choice and not negative sexual repression. There can be a host of benefits around masturbation, learning about your own sexual responses, your own likes and dislikes. With age comes an improved ability to communicate and express yourself."
Funny: I did put that IM chat I had with that guy who asked me those sexual questions into my script. I turned it into a conversation between two characters, face to face. I have another character overhearing the convo and laughing at them. I did think: "What kind of message am I sending to young viewers out there? That being a virgin is bad?"
Also what is the point of this scene? It was to be funny. It was to lead in a direction for the lead character to go to. As I analyzed Rain, I realized that how the script begins seems similar to how the other script I'm selling begins too.
I thought this other thing was kind of unintentionally funny too. I was watching Flashpoint, and then I checked Space Channel, and The Listener was on. It was a repeat. I thought it was funny because both shows are shot in Toronto, and they used the same cameras and same blue/ green tint. I know they're both shot the same, but to see it back to back was interesting.
Kingsway: I went to Kingsway mall today and the mall has greatly improved since August. All the renovations are done except the food court. Arby's and that Ukranian restaurant closed down. It will be replaced by Kim Chi and Thai Express. Aerie, the spinoff from American Eagle is the only store under renovations.
The mall looks so good. It's more sleek and put together. There's a new store that sells Halloween costumes. There's also the usual Calender Club that popped up.
Job: I got my schedule from Malatest and I'll be working Mon.- Fri. 9:00- 4:30. Then I can be home and watch my prime time TV.
Actors: Today I was watching Dollhouse, and the actor Vincent Ventresca makes an appearance again. He was on last season. I first saw him back in 2004 on the cancelled TV show Invisible Man. He plays a guy who is part of an experiment ran by his brother. He was then able to become invisible and works for the govt. It's more of a comedy.
Saying: I was watching Dollhouse and there was a line that said: "You can't always predict or control the consequences."
US5: I decided to watch some live performances of this boy band US5. Wow, they can sing and dance. I've seen their videos, but now I can see their full choreographed dance routine and I am impressed.
Oct. 25 Nice: I asked a guy out, and he turned me down because he was in a relationship. Well now he knows and I know. At least he was very nice about it.
For the record, I got thick skin. I experienced a lot of rejection. Mainly from the past two years of trying to sell my script, and so many people have turned me down. I got rejected from Nait's TV and Radio program. I applied twice, and at fall and winter intake, but I didn't get in. Well academic and creative rejection are different from dating rejection.
Well it's good to be straight forward. I remember way back in gr. 7, this guy in my homeroom Nick Slade told me he liked me. It was towards the end of the year like June. We never really dated. Maybe because we didn't ask each other out. We were also really young, like 12 years old.
I then looked him up on Facebook, and I can't find him. I could look a bit harder.
Then someone pulled the fire alarm because of it. I respect the security guards who work here. I see them escorting a lot of people out of the mall. It was crazy because yesterday the alarm was pulled too because of that gunman some blocks away.

rant/ hoaxes/ crazy news
Oct. 20 Rant: I was thinking about that Tyra episode and her "Panel of Haters". There are these people who make mean comments about these other people, and then those people confront the haters. I then went on twop.com and read the Tyra thread that one of the "haters" is really an actor. In fact, all of the haters were actors.
I find that really annoying that the Tyra show would like play a trick on the audience and do this for ratings. Well I understand that it's easier for producers to hire actors than go out and look for haters. Well you can go on the internet and maybe Tyra has a forum. They'll find someone who wrote a mean post, and then get that person on the show, but that would be too much work. I posted the above on twop.com.
My imagination runs amok. I see the producers reading the forums and there is a topic that says "Teen pregnancy." One person posts: "I feel sorry for them." Then they read a post that says: "I hate pregnant teenagers. They all drop out of high school and live on welfare." Then the producer would get that hater, and bring them on the show. A woman who was a pregnant teen will then confront the hater by saying: "I graduated out of high school, I have a college diploma, I'm happily married. Don't judge me."
I'm a writer, I imagine a lot of stuff. However, the above paragraph doesn't seem to be good written TV. I can imagine the Tyra show doing that, and I probably would end up watching it because it's about my favorite topic. lol.
Microsoft Word: Here's a mild rant. A week or so ago, I was working on my script and it seems Microsoft Word doesn't recognize the document titles "Rain1" and "rain1." I accidentally saved "Rain1" on a disk with "rain1", and it override it. Stupid mistake, but at least it's not a big one. The lesson is call "Rain1" to "therain."
Let that be a lesson to you that you have to name your documents way more differently than with capital letters.
Job: Here's another mild rant. Yesterday I had to come in half an hour earlier because 2 people didn't show up in the morning. My co- worker's ex- boyfriend dropped by, and I thought: "It's a good thing she's not here today." Then I talked to her, and it turns out she didn't come to work because she was afraid he would show up.
Then he did show up today. Do the whole threaten to call the cops, security, get a restraining order, press charges against him for stalking and harassment. I got this flashback of 2005 when I was working at Ipsos. During training, they told us to wear your tags to show that you work here. He told us about how there was a guy, who was in the lobby without a tag, and he was dirty.
The Team Leader then asks if he could help him, the guy says in broken English that he was looking for his wife. TL then goes and talks to other Ipsos people, and it turns out that the wife hasn't been showing up for work in the past few days for fear that she will run into her husband. Security then gets him out of there.
News: I read in Metro that Wal- mart and Amazon lowered prices on books to $9 US. It said that some discounts 60% or more off the cover price, which means they're selling it at a loss.
Hoaxes: I'm sure you all heard of it by now, about that boy supposedly floating in that balloon, but he wasn't. The Heene family may have charges on them for wasting all these police and volunteers looking for a missing boy when the family knew he wasn't missing. At first, I didn't think it was a hoax. But now, it probably is. They were trying to get publicity for themselves to get a reality show.
That kind of reminds me of something that happened in like 2004. I remember Jay Leno doing a joke about it: "Yesterday was April Fools Day, and I totally fell for this one. This young woman told the cops that she was kidnapped, and then it turns out she wasn't. They figured it out when she said that she was driven around for hours. Yeah right, with these kind of gas prices." lol.
I do remember that the woman pretended she was kidnapped so she could get her ex- boyfriend back. She was trying to get him to care about her. Also recently I read about Egyptian police arresting this 20 yr old woman who pretended she was kidnapped with her 4 yr old cousin. She was trying to get her aunt and uncle (the cousin's rich parents) to pay $50, 000 ransom so she could use the money to pay her bills and her wedding expenses.
Actors: I was checking out this actor Eddie Cahill on the days of 2002 when he was on the short- lived show Glory Days. He was like 23 years old when he did this show. It shows some range where he plays a writer instead of a cop on CSI: NY.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CsFXBrHBNk
4: 18 into it, I see this woman, and she looks like Jennifer Carpenter from Dexter. I checked JC out on imdb.com, and it's not credited. You can compare the pics of JC and this woman. They have the same arch in the eyebrows and the same nose.
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2835322880/nm1358539
I also remembered this character Zane played by Ben Crowley. He was cute and pretty back in 2002. He was also in Britney Spears video "Slave 4 U" as the guy who sees the rain first. Now I found his new pic, and he's 29 now. He has certainly grown up. For some reason, this photo reminds me of this guy I used to go to jr. high and high school with Liam Boyd.
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4186933248/nm1082873
Fun: I was checking out my myspace page to see if anyone emailed me. I see that the comedian Daniel Tosh actually read my email, but he hasn't replied. But that's okay because at least he read it. My email subject line "I love you and your show (but my sister doesn't)." It said this:
Hey Daniel
I added you as a friend on Myspace yesterday, but you didn't confirm it. I just wanted to tell you I love you and your show. I've seen you on Comedy Network in 2003, and saw you on Jay Leno back in 2004. I remember you did a joke about Newlyweds back when Nick and Jessica were still together.I write about you in my weekly emails to my friends and blog at www.badcb.blogspot.com. Here's an excerpt of it and what my sister was thinking when she saw the first 7 min. of your second ep.They showed a clip of this deformed young woman tap dancing with an umbrella.
D: Pull up your sock. You should lose the umbrella if you want to get on Dancing with the Stars.
S: That is low.
S: How long has this show been on?
Me: Since last week. This is the second ep.
S: This is the kind of show that makes people dumber.
Me: Then get out of here. This guy was on Jay Leno before.
S: Doesn't mean that he's on Jay Leno means that he's good.
Well ignore the haters. I am continously laughing throughout your entire show. Maybe if it gets really good, it will be extended into an hour.One question: It says you're expecting a child on your page. Is that true or is that a joke?
Keep up the good work.
Oct. 21 Crazy news: Today there was a hostage situation at the Worker's Compensation Board. I went to work at 10am in City Centre, but the fire alarm was ringing and everybody was evacuated. I then was able to find my co- workers and we all went to Second Cup at the Stanley A. Milner library. At 10:30am, we were allowed to go back in. We then passed CBC and on the big screen TV it talked about a gun man in the downtown area. I was like: "Whoa. This is just like Flashpoint." Then later some guy came in and said there was a hostage situation.
Then I got home and I discussed it with my family at dinner, and read it on Yahoo. It turns out the gun man was disgruntled with the WCB. The doctor said he was ready to go to work, but he didn't think he was. He had a custody battle with his ex- wife over his kid which caused stress.
After 10 hours of hostage negotiations, the man finally surrendered. The hostages are all safe.
News: In other news, this Briton, Mohammad Patel, 24 staged 100 car crashes to win fraudulent pay outs. Patrick says that it's dangerous. I also find that it is ridiculous that one person made this huge amount of car accidents.
