Being Erica

My Uncle Stan has been on a trip that sounds absolutely amazing and finished it off in London. So my parents hopped on a plane and spent the last week showing him around. They're excellent tour guides. My mom just called me a few times and the calls kept getting dropped so we went on to Facebook and she got booted, probably bad internet. So I went on to her blog to have a read and wanted to leave a comment but for some reason her latest blog isn't posted properly so I can't comment on it, just read it. So I guess I'm not suppose to be communicating with my mom right now. hahaha.

We were talking about the show Being Erica. For a Canadian production, it's really darn good. It's about a girl her has regrets (don't we all) and meets a therapist who can make her go back in time, to those moments of regret, so she can do things differently. The moral of the show is this: Life is about choices. Some of those choices leads to regret. However, if given the opportunity to do things differently, would you and would the outcome be any different/better? So in each episode, something in her current life happens, she then see's Dr. Tom, goes back to fix a regret but each time she goes back, it applies to the conundrum she's in today. Awesome concept and it really makes you reflect on your own life and choices. Plus the character Erica Strange, is a fantastic. She draws you in (the actress's real name is Erin).

Anyway, mom, if you're reading this, you can watch the complete season 1 and most of season 3 (the current season) on CBC's site. I bought season 2 yesterday so when you're done with season 1, I'll lend you season 2. Maybe we can have a "Being Erica" day and watch season 3 together.

Well, time to get back to work then off for a run, pick up the dog from daycare, eat something then meet some friends for a glass of vino. Tomorrow I think I'll take pups for a hike then spend the evening watching season 2. :o)
