I Want Jim Kosek To Be My Local London Weatherman!


Jim Kosek went ballistic when it came to telling the weather of future snow storms surrounding the Baltimore area. Reporting for Accuweather.com, I want to pool a bunch of money together to get him to tell local weather for the London, Middelsex, region of Canada, so I can never forget how my daily and weekly weather will be.

Mr. Kosek screams passion when it comes to epic forecasts. Enjoy his craziness, below!

Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock App for iPhone!


Having trouble sleeping? Do you find you are super tired when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, even though you had a full 8 hours of rest?

Did you know that this iPhone application can detect your sleeping patterns so well that it can tell when you are in your deepest sleep and when you are essentially sleeping lighter, allowing the alarm to wake you at the perfect time for you to feel good?

You set it within a 30-minute window when you would like to wake up and you place your iPhone on the bed between the mattress and the sheet, while letting it charge - and voila!

Did you know that if your alarm wakes you at your most deep sleep, you are actually tired and off the whole day? Crazy!

Here is a graph of a normal sleep cycle. This application does adjust to all different sleeping patterns!

"The Sleep Cycle alarm clock is a bio-alarm clock that analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you when you are in the lightest sleep phase.

Waking up in the lightest sleep phase feels like waking without an alarm clock - it is a natural way to wake up where you feel rested and relaxed.

Sleep Cycle has become a huge success with a #1 paid app position in many countries, including Germany, Japan and Russia

"It just works. Period. It does exactly what it advertises which is absolutely amazing."
- 5/5 star review at 148apps.com

Since you move differently in bed during the different phases, Sleep Cycle uses the accelerometer in your iPhone to monitor your movement to determine which sleep phase you are in."

You can get this application at the iPhone Store for .99 cents! I would invest in this if I didn't get up so often to go to the bathroom at night. But if you are having a hard time this might be for you :D

Happy Birthday, Alice Cooper!


Alice Cooper, also known as Vincent Damon Furnier, turns 62 today! I remember because it's 2 days after my moms birthday.

He has those awesome power songs that I can't get out of my head, like "Poison" and "Billion Dollar Babies", that just remind me of Guitar Hero so much! There is a huge list of awesome songs that Alice Cooper has serenaded us with over the years.

This guy has to be the most normal family dad and regular, avid golfer! Apparently he is pretty amazing at the sport! That is something I would love to witness :D

Last year we stayed at this beautiful hotel up in the Norwegian mountains called "Utsikten", where Alice Cooper had stayed a couple of months prior. He apparently loved the golfing opportunities there too, even if he was in the area primarily for a rock festival!

If you are ever wanting a little get away, my Norwegian friends - I suggest checking out this hotel! They offer relaxing spa days and it's such a beautiful view! Maybe next time when I stay there, I might luck out and see the rocker on the green!

My parents have actually seen Alice Cooper live, way before all of his lovely makeup and awesome costumes, playing in a super small town in Canada. Again, I would have loved to have been born to see that too!

Alice Cooper is a genius and I want to post "Poison" on here because I seriously want to cover this tune as well one day. It's that good!

I hope to watch him live one day! :D

The video is bad quality, but close your eyes and enjoy!

This Cat has a Cat Room?


So, this is how my parents treat my cat king Krang while I am out of the country! This guy has quite a spiffy bedroom setup if you ask me. He even snores like my little Kranger! I miss him, but I'll see him soon! :) No idea who made such a room for my cat look-alike, but I am in love with it!

Ellemusic | Did You Ever Acoustic Video!

Here is a super rough video of me playing my song "Did You Ever" today. I was inspired to play some guitar and sing :) I wrote this song a few years ago, and it is still up there as one of my favourites :D

You can check out other stuff I have produced at http://www.ellemusic.com

It's an oldie, but hopefully a goldie to you too!



Super Snowy Stavanger, Norway!


Waking up this morning seemed a little brighter than usual. I got up, looked out of my bedroom window and exclaimed; "Oh my! The snow...there is so much!".

Stavanger isn't really known for getting a lot of snow, even last year there wasn't this much, and this is the second big snowfall this winter! As you can see, I took a picture out of the front, out my kitchen window, and of the back, through the balcony door. I had no means to open the balcony door because all of the snow would have tumbled in ... it's too early for that!

If you arn't currently covered in this fluffy, white stuff - enjoy this winter wonderland through the window too!

Susanne Sundfør : The Brothel


This is one of the most beautiful and simple songs, with a very strong subject matter. Susanne Sundfør is from Haugesund, Norway, and is a super-talented 23 year old with quite a mature take on things. This song actually gets better and better as it goes. You can read a little more about this angelic voice here.

She just posted this song today. We have been waiting all weekend after first hearing a pre-listen of this track on Lydverket on NRK P3 radio.

Play the first song called "The Brothel" on her Myspace. I guarantee your soul will be inspired and in awe. I promise!

Marina And The Diamonds & Gonzales | Hollywood!

Gonzales conducted a really cool "Hollywood" inspired orchestral version of Marina and the Diamonds fantastic and super catchy song. I love this version because of the bleeding of on-screen colours, it's very 60's, glamorous and enchanting all wrapped up in one video! This was filmed for an Eastern European television show. I love!

Enjoy!



Rihanna Shows Off In Viktor & Rolf!



Although I didn't watch the Grammy's last night, I got to see a couple of outfits and photos/videos here and there. But, let me tell you how excited I was to see RiRi rocking one of my favourite dresses from Viktor & Rolf's Spring 2010 Ready-to-wear collection that I wrote about here. That girl can carry off anything! Beautiful!
