Relationship advice says: "You have given tips for job interview. That would really help me when I will go for job." (June 24,2010)

Murder in my House: This is a TV movie that came out in 2006. It stars Barbara Niven. She was in Emma Caulfield's (Anya from Buffy) TV movie A Valentine's Day Carol. BN plays Lauren, and her kid daughter died. She is a children's book writer where she writes stories about her daughter. She's divorced and moves into a new big house with her dad who's a college professor. He was a lawyer prior to it which is important to the story. At the beginning of the movie, the guy who lived there was having an affair and then he gets stabbed in the back, and Lauren and her dad moves in.

When L finds out that there was a murder in the house, and wasn't told about it, she was upset. L asks her dad that it should be required by law that they would know about a crime occurring in their home before they bought it. The real estate agent was following law because she didn't have to tell them.

15 min into the story, the audience knows Brian the neighbor is a crazy stalker. His ex-wife shows up. Then the ex-wife shows up again, 30min in it. I realize that his ex-wife is really a figment of his imagination before it's revealed a min. later. 40min in, it confirmed he killed his wife through flashback and that he's a murderer. I didn't like it because the audience was way too ahead of the story, no mystery. There is tension and suspense as we wait for L to figure out he's a killer.

Reminders: This TV movie reminds me of Desperate Housewives where Angie buys a home and the real estate agent tells her that a woman committed suicide in the house. It also reminds me of Marge Simpson becomes a real estate agents and sells "the murder house" to Ned Flanders. There is also Cordelia getting her own apartment which is haunted on an episode of Angel.

Look alike: I noticed that Barbara Niven looks like she could be sisters to the actress Maurgerite McIntyre (sheriff on Vampire Diaries.)

Allison Mack (Chloe from Smallville) looks like Kristin Miller (DD on She Spies.)

Reading: Here is something I haven't done in a month: read 16 and Pregnant thread on twop.com. It's probably because I saw that Bristol Palin clip on Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Or maybe because all I've been doing is job searching, and reading Robert McKee's Story and I needed to shake things up a bit. I also read the "Tired TV dialogue" thread about cliches.

June 26 Shipwreck Marine: Have you ever heard of this store on 50st? It was in the Edmonton Journal's classifieds and they're hiring students for FT/PT. They sell boats and it's really far away.

Dust Queens: I also found this maid cleaning service that hires $22/hr. The website looks good and there's a 5 day training program. A vehicle is an asset, not required. Maybe, I'll call them. The pay's good, but I have to take 3 buses to get to their office on Ellwood Drive.

I would go there for an interview, but then I imagine that one of them will have a car. I looked at the FAQs and 3 people go to clean a house. 1 of the 3 of us will be taking someone's car. I'll keep searching.

Proeco.com: This is a very green company that helps the environment.

West Ed mall: I haven't been there in months. I was there earlier this week and there are ring tailed lemurs leaping around trees by the big ship. It was fun to watch. There is a Pho Hoa Fusion Noodle House in T&T.

The video arcade used to be called Circuit City and is now called New Play. Urban Behavior and Hakim Optical opened in the food court. There's a Crepe works that sells deserts in one food court, and is now selling in both food courts. Did you know that Hot 107.9 radio station is in this mall?

There is a new store called Triple Flip that sells expensive little girl clothes. I have heard of Anthropologie by seeing their stuff in Metro. It's a store that sells clothes, furniture, and dishes. Kind of like Urban Outfitters. There is a Sorrentino's in the mall. I knew there was this cafe/kiosk, but it went by different name. I guess Sorrentino's took over. There's no fish in the T&T pond. I used to work at Roots in West Ed back in 2005. There used to be fish then.

Neighborhood: In other news, the MacEwan Arts Campus is in a bad neighborhood that's by West Ed. I see that it's improving. There used to be a porn store, but is now replaced by a furniture store.

Friends: I bumped into these customers from the Soup place. They are two old ladies Lucy and Hazel. Lucy gave me a couple books to read. I then bumped into them today. Both times at City Centre.

The Mentalist: This was from the first season, but I think I only saw the last bit. The episode was called Red-Handed. The character Patrick Jane says what I saw on W-Five. In casinos there is dim lighting, and no clocks. Jane talks about this memory card trick he did in his mind. Think of how one card represents something unusual like the king of hearts is a devil dancing. I saw that on 20/20.

It was a good ep. There was an Asian woman and she's a dealer. She cheats so you think she's a bad guy. She does it so she can buy her mom a new liver. Now she's a sympathetic character. Jane shows that he's a generous guy, because he uses his money that he won to buy gifts for his friends, and then donates it to a charity. At the end, he gives money to the dealer.

Comparisons: I did like the surprise of finding a dead body in a freezer in The Mentalist. That reminds me of the movie Ginger Snaps where that happened too. It also occurred on Desperate Housewives with Mrs. McKlusky putting her husband's body in there.

Actors: I was watching In Plain Sight, and they're in their 3rd season. They managed to get Donnie Wahlberg on. He's from New Kids on the Block is much more successful in acting. I did like the episode about DW being in a gang and a single dad.

He goes into the witness protection program to protect his son. I could use it for my script in the first scene. DW and gang pulls out this road spike, and the truck stops. They open the truck, and it's empty. The goods have already been stolen.

Edmonton actors: I went on imdb.com and I see that there are 277 actors from Edmonton, AB. That's great.

Kismet: I learned that this word means fate and destiny.

June 27 Rubicks Solver: I was on postsecret.com and there's a secret: "No, I'm not some sort of mathematical genius. I learned to solve it by reading directions. You might be surprised by how well that works in all areas of life."

Go to www.rubickssolver.com. I remember on there were these 2 Asian guys from MIT. Guy 1 was able to solve one in 10.3 sec and Guy 2 taught him how to do it that fast.

It's one thing to solve a rubick's cube, but it's another to do it really fast.
