Learn New Skills from Mahalo

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can learn a ton from Mahalo's incredibly useful how tos. And I don't just say that because I write them, in fact, I did not write any of the following how tos, but I do know that they are all marvelous and informative!

For instance, if you've ever wondered how to become a mystery shopper, this detailed look at the process will have you on your way to mystery shopping in no time.

Under current economical circumstances, a lot of people are no reconsidering their current career choices. If you happen to be one of them, maybe you'd like some information on how to become a dentist or a lawyer. Maybe you've been considering a career as a physical therapist or a certified nursing assistant, but couldn't find enough information about what the training entailed. Well, look no further. The how tos mentioned in this post are incredibly detailed on the process and training, with some great tips to help you on your way to realizing your career dreams.

Oh, and if you have a passion for cooking, and have been considering becomeing a chef, check out the link. I did write that one, and just writing about it made me want to sharpen up my knives and get to work julienning every vegetable in my refrigerator.

America's Next Top Riot?

I haven't blogged over here in days but I did want to take a moment to reflect on the crazy America's Next Top Model Cycle 13 Casting Riot. What the hell is up with that??? If you watch this crazy video footage, it would suggest that they've either seen Tyra or the Beatles...



According to news reports, the cause of the freak out was an overheated BMW (?? yeah cos that's scary...) Apparently they thought the car was going to explode. To make matters worse, three cuckoos started throwing around barricades and provoking the people to riot. Those nutjobs were arrested, and six people were injured.

Thanks to Target, I missed last night's episode of ANTM, so I have no idea who was sent home. I should get my google on and find out. In the meantime, five crazy chicas stand before me, but I only have four pictures in my hand. The name that I don't call must immediately return to the apartment, cry for awhile, and then go home. Oh, wait... sorry. I got lost for a second in Tyra land.

Resident Evil 5 is HERE!

Sometimes I wish I had all the time in the world to sit around and play video games, seriously. If I did, I would master and make this game my slave before dawn tomorrow morning, because that's how I roll! My husband, little brother and I used to stay up until the crack of dawn playing Resident Evil when we got our Playstation way back in the day. We were fond of running around shoving each other and moaning the word, "STARS, STARS!"

While I tend to like Silent Hill just a tad bit more, I would definitely be content to check out the new Resident Evil 5, which comes out today. Supposedly it's filled with tons of gore and zombie action (MY FAVORITE!) If you happen to pick this up today, and you need a little hand holding while you're playing, be sure to check out Mahalo's incredibly informative Resident Evil 5 Walkthrough. The video games team at mahalo has also taken some time to create helpful pages on BSAA Emblems, unlockable costumes and unlockable characters.

Superficial TV Watching...

I have watched some lowdown and dirty things in my life simply because I am attracted to shiny things... like a moth to a flame, if you will. For example, the movie Babylon A.D., which starred Vin Diesel, looked like a great sci-fi action flick, and turned out to be one of the most ridiculously plotless films I've ever seen. That's Hollyweird at work, ladies and gentlemen. Vin Diesel, big boom equals box office blowout... NOT!

Now based on an obsession from the last two years, I have been scouring the IMDb for unseen Callum Keith Rennie films and series because one: Rennie is a phenomenal actor. The proof is in the pudding, people. This last year alone he had pretty significant roles in Californication, Battlestar Galactica and The X-Files movie.

Chances are you've never heard of this Canadian hottie, and really that's a shame. He's had minor roles in more televisions series than you could imagine, like Smallville, Painkiller Jane, Supernatural and even the recent Bionic Woman remake. While there are several things I like about Callum Keith Rennie, one of the things I like best is his diversity. While he seems to get cast quite often in detective/cop roles, there's something about him that makes me like cops more...

And for those of you who like to paint... I know I'm going to spend more time in Canadian Home Depots waiting for Mr. Rennie to come and shake my paint can like he did to Katee Sackhoff in this video clip:



Wait a second... do they even have Home Depot in Canada???
