Spring Fever!

I'm starting to get into that spring frame of mind. The home and garden show this weekend at the convention centre is probably part of the reason. When I start seeing ads for show like this, I just want to get into my back yard and start putting a shovel in the ground and start re-organizing my gardens. Then I have to stop my self and realize nobody plants anything till Victoria Day weekend. I'd to thank the many listeners and facebookers who have sent us their Oscar picks, their facebook habits and more. This morning, Matt and I are talking proud about this great city of ours. Yesterday's Toronto Sun had a great article about spending time in Hamilton for March break. So if you and the kids think just staying in town is boring next week for March break think again because Hamilton is a happening place!!!

Great Weather on the way out!

What spectacular weather!!!  Don't flip out when the temperatures start to come down to normal and we start to see showers. That's normal for this time of year. These last few days have just been a chance to try on your spring clothes form last season (don't they look great!!!!) Look for my book review of Sandra Browne's "Rainwater", a book Sandra wrote in between writing other books under contract but once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down.  This is my first read by this author and it won't be my last. I wish I was as talented as these writers at creating a story that can keep you engaged in the book till the last page .This book did for me. By the way don't forget Monday, March 15th the night, CBC's Hockeyville airs and hopefully Dundas (we all know we did right?) make it to the finals!!!

Are you Hollywood Hot?

What length would you go to look 5 maybe even 10 years younger? Matt and I were mulling this over yesterday after the show when we were discussing how great Oscar winning director Kathryn Bigelow looked at the awards. She's been making movies for over 30 years and is 58 years old. She's currently dating a 36 year old and was one of James Cameron's ex wives. How does she do it? She looked perfect and so natural. Could she have had a little augmentation along the way or is she just a natural beauty? Hollywood does pressure these stars to take some sort of action to look younger but what about the rest of us? What would you do to look younger? Plastic surgery? Botox? Augmentation? We want to hear from you this morning ... call us: 905-645-5483.

Hollywood's Biggest Night

Well I tried to stay up as late as my eyes could stay open which is around 10pm last night for the academy awards. I really wanted to see Steve martin and Alec Baldwin who were good but I think Alec would have been great by himself. I just think he's hilarious and quick on his feet. Having said that, as a team they were pretty good together and especially funny poking fun at themsleves when very young actors and actresses were introduced. Today is International oman's day and what better way to honour it than to see director kathryn Bigelow make history with her Oscar wins last night for The Hurt Locker. How about Sandra Bullock winning a Razzie award (for a rotten performance in All About Steve) and winning an Oscar for fabulous performance in The Blind Side!!! By the way, way to go Dundas for looking so cool this past Saturday for the CBC cameras. We have our fingers crossed that Dundas has made the finals for Hockeyville!!!

Great Weather for a busy weekend!

I can't believe how nice it's been outside.  I was walking around yesterday with a light jacket on my way to Billy Green School. It was a career day where a group of staff spoke to the grade 7 and 8's and about what a career in radio would involve. I gotta tell ya, these students were attentive, engaging and very polite. I was very impressed!  This Sunday I'm the emcee for "3 cups of tea" put on by the Zonta Club of Hamilton over at Chedoke Presbyterian Church on Mohawk Road West.  It's a fundraiser and it's only 35 dollars.  I was going to rent the Hurt Locker last night (an Oscar nominated movie by one of James Cameron's ex wives) but I was exhausted and I want to be fully awake to see this compelling movie. I can't wait to see Alec Baldwin Sunday at the Oscars, he's hilarious and that's what the Oscars needs!!!!!!!

Biggest night in movies this Sunday

We're getting closer and closer to the weekend and the Oscars on Sunday night. I'm a huge fan of Alec Baldwin and i predict he'll be so funny and entertaining that he'll decide he's not going to retire from showbiz and finally get offered that big role he so deserves. This guy is so full of talent and has been so underused until 30 Rock and many memorable big screen movies. But he's never gotten the big one; you know the starring role in a big time movie. I'll also be enjoying 3 cups of tea on Sunday afternoon with the Zonta club of Hamilton. This is happening at the Chedoke Presbyterian Church on Mohawk Road and trust me this will be fun and it starts at 1:30. For more info just call 905-648-8783. You'll be home for the Oscars!!!!!

They should have won!

Matt and I were chatting about the Oscars yesterday and we started thinking about past Oscar movies and performances that may or may not have been nominated that should have won Oscars. I know this Sunday's broadcast will be no exception because there have been some great movies and not all those performances can win.  I've put together my top 5 Oscar performances or movies from the past that should have won.

1. 1962- To Kill a Mockingbird-got 3 Oscars but should have won best picture

2. 1979-Kramer vs. Kramer-Dustin Hoffman was nominated but should have won.

Gold Canada Gold!

Well, I'm back from a quickie vacation in Florida where I was obsessed with the Olympics. My hubby and I went with friends and I'm not lying, we planned our week around almost every Olympic event! I have to say this was the most exciting Olympics!! I know it's because of its Canadian connection but it was truly an unbelievable finish!! We were in Orlando airport with a bunch of hockey fans both American and Canadian and we were glued to the TV till the announcement came over the P.A. that the game would be on TV on the plane so we dashed to get our seats and technical difficulties caused us to miss Sidney's winning goal! I thank the Grimsby boys for watching ESPN and yelling out to everyone on the plane that we'd won the gold. Man do we have so much to be proud of this morning!
