of great help - being erica

being erica has been a lifesaver this week. such a good show! it's canadian and is now showing on soapnet in the us (and hulu, which is where i saw it:). i was staying late at work watching but after download opera have been able to watch video from home, thank god.

basically erica gets to time travel into her own life in an attempt to change moments that she regrets. it's fun without being cheesy and is described as being "My Name is Earl meets Pretty in Pink meets Back to the Future meets Sex and the City". surely you must like one of those!

i love that the main character is jewish. she's veers between normal-looking and incredibly gorgeous and reminds me a lot of jennifer aniston. her wardrobe is a little too perfect, but it's a tv show!



i watched a few interviews with her today. poor thing, she must get so sick of the question 'what regret would you change in your own life?'

lots of degrassi guest stars, which is fun. canadian tv rules! she's apparently on life unexpected on the cw, so maybe i'll check out an episode... if i can get over my shiri appleby hatred for an hour. we'll see.

i love the building her office is set in - beaux arts maybe? surrounded by glass towers and the interior is open, airy & modern. can't seem to find out anything about it online.

it's set in toronto, although not very accurately according to torontoist:

her apt building, which reminds me of houses in jamaica plain:

together and broken again

we got back together for two weeks but broke up again. didn't talk for three days, but taled yesterday and are now back to 'normal'. i'm getting mixed messages from her that fuck with my head but i'd rather have that than silence. this will probably just be dreadful till i move out.

in brighter news - i got into rutgers! so there's hope for my future. i have to write my hunter essay this weekend... it's so hard to get back to writing an essay - hope i can handle school again :)

3 more weeks at work, unbelievable. i'm going through files at work but not getting nearly enough done. maybe if i had been treated better i'd care more, but they'll just have to deal!
