My replacement exercise, since I haven't been surfing for 4 months and 1 day, not that I'm counting, is walking really fast on the Nordic Track. Actually, I consider it running, because I do work up a sweat. I'm certain NO ONE works up a sweat walking, hence the running, but if anyone saw me they'd probably call it walking.
"Yep, she's walking!"
Whatever.
Anyways, in my perpetual endeavor to keep myself entertained without the Pacific Ocean's aid I have struck Canadian Television gold! I found an AWESOME show on hulu.com, "Being Erica."
Internet you can actually watch all three seasons of Being Erica on Hulu! And you best hurry because episode 1 of season 4 premiered last night!!!!!!
Let's time travel back to the first episode of Being Erica, which introduces Erica Strange, a 30-something whose life hasn't turned out the way she hoped it would. Erica's in a dead end job, and relationshipless. She's just not living up to hers, or anyone else's, expectations. Erica's in the fast lane to Nowhere.
"Vrooooom to Crash!!!!!!!"
Enter Dr. Tom, Ph.D in Metaphysics, specializing in time travel psychotherapy.
When Erica commits to "working on her life," with Dr. Tom, she gets more than she bargained for. Dr. Tom's version of therapy is sending Erica back in time where she gets a do-over on all of her biggest mistakes and greatest regrets.
It turns out, time traveling is hilarious. Erica hurls between present time, the past and the future, spilling coffee, wine and cocktails, crashing cars, and looking feverishly insane as she casually plays off her follies.
Unfortunately, for Erica fixing her life is more complex than making a different choice here and there. Through her time travels, Erica learns being true to herself is challenging, and she can't fix other people's problems, only her own.
Being Erica is captivating, humorous and insightful. Internet, it's like free therapy!!!!
I read this is the fourth and final season of Being Erica. :(
"Say it ain't so!"
Though rumor has it there's a U.S. version in the works. It's hard to imagine the U.S. version of Being Erica being better than the Canadian version.
There's something AWESOME about Canadians. Erin Karpluk, who plays Erica Strange, is amazing, brilliant, hysterically funny and fully girl and guy crush worthy. I especially adore her slapstick "I Love Lucy," inspired humor.
Erica Strange is surrounded by plenty of hot Canadian co-stars, who frequently take off their clothes. :p Read: Erica's leading men, to which there are plenty, walk around topless.
Canadians make television with women in mind.
But don't worry guys, Erica and all her BFF's are hot!
While "Being Erica," tackles heavy topics such as loss, grief, and betrayal, it does so with the perfect blend of humor and tender hearted-ness to form an entirely entertaining package. Read: Every episode has me laughing and crying.
But don't take my word for it, watch the first episode of, "Being Erica," right here and judge for yourself.
