I hope you all watched Jake in Paradise City: Degrassi Goes Hollywood, the Degrassi Movie, on CTV last night. I’m not sure if it aired in the US or not. It was great. Also, the soundtrack from the movie is in stores now and on iTunes. There are two songs performed by Jake on it.

I missed a few parts because I’m at my grandparents right now and my Grandpa was asking me questions about the software that you can get when you order a new iMac. He has a really old one and he’s looking at getting a new one and since I’m the Mac expert in my family, I get asked all the questions.

Anyways, I’m still don’t have a lot of time for really any of my sites right now. I haven’t moved in to residence yet. We got to Hamilton on Sunday and we’re staying at my grandparents. I move in to residence in Oshawa on Wednesday. Once I’m settled in and get stuff sorted out, including work, I will be able to sit down and get some things organized.

I have gotten one application for a helper for the site and I will probably make a decision in the next few weeks. So if you are interested, please apply now! Thanks.

That’s all for right now.

I’ve added some screen caps of Jake in Charlie Bartlett. Credit to hellisbreaking.com for these images.

Unfortunately, because the owner of hellisbreaking.com posted these pictures as part of the Tyler Hilton fanlisting, there aren’t any caps of the scene where Dustin (Jake Epstein) and Charlie (Anton Yelchin) are talking at the party. That’s the only scene where Jake actually has shots that are focussed on him. Since, I haven’t been able to do any screen caps on my computer, except on videos in iTunes (if anyone knows how to go about doing that on Mac OS X Leopard, I would greatly appreciate your insight!) I cannot add them myself. If anyone has any other caps of Jake in Charlie Bartlett, where he is the main character in the shot, I will give you full credit if you donate them to the site.

Anyways, enjoy the caps that are currently uploaded to the gallery!

For those of you who haven’t seen, or even heard of the movie Charlie Bartlett, I recommend that you rent it, purchase it, or borrow it from a friend. It’s kind of an odd movie, but it’s also rather amusing. It’s about a kid, Charlie Bartlett, trying to fit into his new public high school, after being kicked out of multiple private schools. It’s funny, and yet serious at the same time. I just purchased it today and just finished watching it.

If you’re like me, and you have a bit of an obsession with Canadian actors/actresses, then I will tell you that you should definitely go out and purchase this DVD.

Fans of Degrassi: The Next Generation will be please to know that four of your favourite Degrassi stars appear in this movie: Jake Epstein, Lauren Collins, Aubrey Graham, and Ishan Davé. *

Other Canadians I am aware of who appear in Charlie Bartlett are Mark Rendall, Dylan Taylor, Megan Park, Jonathan Malen, Derek McGrath, Stephen Young, Sarah Gadon, Michael D’Ascenzo, and David Fraser. ** That’s close to half of the cast. But, as I said these are Canadians who appeared in the movie. Most of them were only in a couple of scenes.

Anyways, I will try to take some screen caps of Jake from the movie to post in the gallery. I have scanned the DVD and added it to the gallery already because Jake is actually on the from cover of the DVD as you can see in this picture:

I haven’t actually figured out how to take screen caps of DVDs on my iMac, but If I can’t figure it out, I know how to do it on one of my other computers. At this point I don’t know when I will have them posted but I will try to work around my schedule at work to get some done. I have yet to do any screen caps for Degrassi too. That might be longer before I get that done.

Oh, don’t forget to apply for one of the posted positions here on the site. I currently have two positions available. See the staff postings page for more information.

Anyways, that’s all for now.
