Big Brother With Kate & Jenny

I am a Big Brother addict. I have been since I was in Grade 12, way back in 2007. It is what I look forward to summer evenings, it actually makes me excited for Sunday night to come around. I talk about it a lot, so it is super annoying for anyone who does not watch the show. So when you spend as much time together as Afternoon Drive Host Jenny Fines and I do, your bound to be forced into watching at least one episode.

Here is Jenny's take on her first episode (ever) of Big Brother. Keep in mind she has not watched ANY reality TV since the very first Survivor.

My Face on Meth

Jenny Fines posted her photos using the 'Rehab.com' app called 'Your Face On Meth'. I thought I would give you a sneak peak into why I will never do meth. It is truly disturbing, kind of like a cross between a the "tanning mom" and a zombie.


You can give it a try here... let me know how it works out for you.

Remember That Time Jenny Went Away? Kate Does...

I absolutely love my job.

But, the last two days have been tough. Moving and filling in for the amazing Jenny Fines, Mountain FM’s drive host has been a deadly combination. But, it is over now (thank goodness). I liked doing Jenny’s show, but I LOVE my own show. All you listeners from 10am to 2pm I think of you like my children, I am so excited to be giving you my full attention again starting Tuesday. I think you can tell just how tired I am by the bags under my eyes in that photo.

One cool perk of taking over Jenny’s show while she was away was getting to do her ‘Paws and Claws’ segment with our local SPCA. Boy was it fun! Thank goodness I do not do it every week; I would have a house full of animals. Today’s feature was on Rocky a two year old cat who has suffered from head trauma; it was hard to see him leave after only knowing him for about half an hour. He is such a nice, unique cat; I hope he finds an amazing home. From the moment he was let out he was cuddling me, it was such an amazing feeling!

As much fun as it was, I am so happy to be back on the four hour show track starting tomorrow. I much prefer a sprint over a marathon! 

The Conjuring with Jenny & Kate

When I was a child I loved horror movies.

As an adult, horror movies make me feel old and silly.

Why? Still not 100% sure. I think it has to do with a feeling that I was invisible, as an adult I have realized I am SO totally vulnerable. Also, pretty freakin’ co-dependent, watching a horror flick melts my mind. I live in fear of shapes and shadows until the sunrises. I can't even watch late night TV without my remote close by, every time a creepy trailer airs I have to change the channel. 

As a child, I would hide my eyes and wait for the shocking part of the scare to be over and then look up at the screen. As an adult, I do the exact same thing… longer. So long in fact that I scared myself more than needed, catching the most terrifying moment of ‘The Conjuring’ when I saw it Saturday night. I missed an entire scene of the movie and popped up at the worst possible second. I was so scared a full scream escaped my lips, making me look (and sound) foolish; giving the entire theatre a laugh.

On the plus side, I have not lost a minute of sleep yet (it has only been two nights since the viewing). But, I have a feeling that will change living in the basement (the most haunted part of most houses, as horror movies have taught us) of an old house in Nelson.

My little scream at Kootenay Centre Cinema is one of the most shameful moments of my life. It has been a long time since I have been so embarrassed. Thank goodness Afternoon Drive Hostess; Jenny Fines was beside me, screaming at the exact same time.  

Give the following sound clip a listen to hear our ‘The Conjuring’ experience! If you love to be scared (or to watch people be scared) you need to go see it!
