Breagh MacKinnon - White Picket Fence

This is a local Cape Breton artist. I first came across her last semester when my friend lent me her debut CD. It's fantastic and I highly recommend her music. Her is one of her new songs White Picket Fence. Also here is her website if you want to check out some of her other music.

Well that was Exciting!

Last night something exciting happened. I bet you can't guess what it was. Give up? Ok ok I'll tell you. I went to a Cape Breton Screaming Eagles hockey game last night!! Many might think nothing of that but I had never been to a hockey game before. The most exciting part is that after only one game I'm hooked. I really enjoy the game of hockey. This coming from the girl who up until a week ago didn't know there were 3 periods in hockey and not quarters.

Eagles warming up

I enjoyed it for a couple of reasons.
1) It's fast. - The players move fast and the game doesn't stop and regroup after every play like it does it football. Or at least it didn't take forever.

2) Fights!! - Very few other sports have this. In the game last night there was 2 fights within the first minute.

Oh and the Cape Breton team won! 9-4

CB WON!!

Happy Travels!

Snapshot Friday

I'm hoping to start a new series to be called Snapshot Friday. So here's my first try at it.

All the books needed to write 2 different papers and season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the ever so rare study break. Can't you tell it's going to be a fantastic Friday? Wish me luck in my paper writing endeavors.

The Legend of the Psychotic Forest Ranger

"The Legend of the Psychotic Forest Ranger is a horror-comedy set in the 1980’s based on iconic slasher movies like Friday the 13^th. Like any other classic horror movie, it involves partying teenagers in the woods. Inevitably, the Forest Ranger finds them and kills them off one by one."

The film was shot over 23 days in Cape Breton, with an all Nova Scotia cast giving great performances as the stereotypical teens.

Here's an interesting article about it off of the CBU website. 



The Legend of the Psychotic Forest Ranger is even in the running for TIFF’s Top 10 Canadian Films of the year!

Skyfall

 

For the people who have not been fallowing MGM financial crisis, it put many of MGM films on hold.  Some films were put on hold for well over three years.  A year ago MGM came out and stated that the first films that  they would be making would be Bond 23 and The Hobbit.  Well it has come time to put the wheels in motion on the first phase.  Bond 23 which has been titled Skyfall will be reseeded in the November of 2012.  Daniel Craig and Judi Dench have been confirmed to be coming back to their rules.  For the people who missed the press conference, I hope you enjoy it.        

We share a Lot

This is a short film that aired on NBC, prior to the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
