Friday Favourites: Funny Women

My favourite genre of movie is comedy. I just love to laugh. So here is a list of the women who make me laugh the most.

1. Tina Fey - From Weekend Update to Thirty Rock and her always funny photos shoots. She's the best.

2. Sarah Silverman - Sometimes I am baffled by how politically incorrect she can be, but she is hilarious none-the-less.

3. Amy Poehler - Great teammate with Tina, but also funny on her own. She has a very interesting comedic timing...she sometimes reminds me of William Shatner...and her facial expressions are priceless.

4. Anna Faris - She hasn't done as much as the other ladies no this list, but she knows how to play to her strengths and she plays the dumb, ditzy girl in a way that always makes me laugh. I like that she isn't afraid to look foolish.

5. Elizabeth Banks - She had the line in $0 Year Old Virgin about "putting it in her trunk", she was very funny in Scrubs and she was in a Kevin Smith movie about making a porn and she was on Role Models, which is one of my favourite comedies from the last year...love her.

6. Ellen Page - She is witty and sarcastic and CANADIAN!

So, who are your favourite funny women?

Movie or Music Mondays: Best Live Bands

I go to a lot of concerts, and I love pretty much everyone I see, but this is a list of my top 11 (in no particular order, cause I don't know if I can really put them in order).

1. Hawksley Workman
2. The Hives
3. Bloc Party (twice)
4. Gob (three times, four after next week)
5. Coheed & Cambria
6. The Tragically Hip (three times)
7. Bedouin Soundclash (twice)
8. Eric Clapton
9. The Offspring
10. The Wet Secrets
11. Stone Temple Pilots

There are several honorable mentions, but then that just makes the list even longer than the 10 it was originally supposed to be.

As a sublist, here are bands I'm totally stoked about seeing in the next few months

1. Billy Talent
2. Franz Ferdinand
3. Pearl Jam

I <3 Summer

So, I've been totally negligent with my lists. Here's a list of the reasons why:

1. Camping - as often as possible in the very short Alberta camping season
2. Concerts - usually at least once a month, more whenever possible
3. Birthdays
4. New awesome movies

I haven't spent a weekend at home in over a month, so it's difficult to sit down and come up with a list. I'll try harder though.
