Second Week of September TV season review.

So…  So far I have watched, America’s Next Top Model, Hell Cats, Vampire Diaries, Tori and Dean, The Real Housewives of DC, NJ and NYC.  So here goes.

Along with Kate Plus 8 and Quints by Surprise, Ice Road Truckers and Pawn Stars, Some new shows have started like Hell Cats.  Originally a CW Network Original, but somehow we have it playing on A-Channel and Much Music.  Rather liked it.  Wasn’t sure at first, but I have to admit I am fond of Ashley Tisdale!  I have been ever since I saw Picture This!  So I gave it a chance and well I actually liked it.  Think it will be a watcher for me.  There is just enough drama and teenaged softness about it that it is one of those that you can watch and forget your troubles.  Give it a chance!  It gets a 4.5 outta 5 from me! 

Well then ANTM, Tyra needs to therapy but I always watch the beginning and then taper off towards the end.  It’s cycle 16 and how many times can you watch the same thing…….?  Really!  However I keep tuning in… 

I cannot tell you how happy I was about the following shows.  Vampire Diaries.  Oh how I have missed you my friend.  I have waited with anticipation beads of sweat on my heaving chest.  Ohhh sorry!  I was getting a little carried away.  I am so happy this is back, it was one of the shows that started last fall that I truly enjoyed and never missed.  Damon is so sultry and brooding and so broken that you just want to hold him but you know that wellllll…..  He is just a trap, he will bite you as fast look at you but still he has that lure, that, I need you so badly look that you can’t….  What I am supposed to be writing about the show….  Ha!  Well the addition of Katherine.  The changing of (or is he changed) Jeremy….  Ohhhh!  Let see what happens.  And what the heck is up with the Lockwoods?  Tyler?  Vampire?  Wolf?  Something else?  Hmmm!  Gonna be a good season!

So Saturday was the best day of my life!  Tori and Dean.  I love them.  It is so nice to see that Stars are actually real people!  Liam and Stella are growing up and T and D are trying to make their marriage work.  Wow it does happen in Hollywood.

Then After that was The Real Housewives of DC.  Not too sure about this right now.  Like Cat a lot!  Like Mary too (is it me or does she look just like Natasha Richardson?)  Lynda is just a big BEOTCH and Staci is too self-righteous for me.  As for Michaele she is something else.  This show doesn’t seem to have the spunk that the OC, NJ, NYC, Atlanta ladies do but it is the first episode so lets see. 

So then came the Jersey Girls, I love them I think they are my fave after the OC.  Teresa is the best.  However I love Dina.  I have been watching all the Tweets over the last few months and I pretty much know what is going to happen yet we have just seen the first episode of the second season here in Canada and well I can’t wait for the rest of the season.

Then TRHoNYC.  Let me start by saying Jill is a horrible harpie!  She used to be my fave but man is she ever happy?  “If I was having a boating day I would have a gift for everyone!”  “If I was her friend she should have taken me on the Today Show with her.”  Last year she couldn’t stand Kelly this year she Luanne and Kelly are best buds.  Ramona is distancing herself I don’t blame her the way that Luanne was after her for something Mario said!  Really!?  Get a life!  It ain’t the worst and it ain’t gonna be the last!  Sorry Countess, but give it up now!  Alex I have to say after following her on Twitter I have gotten to like her and Simon much much more!  Bethenny “You go girl!”  Really, love, baby, business.  Anyone who is negative is just jealous of you! 

So, this week is Parenthood!  EXCITED.  Life UnXpected, Survivor, Outlaw and The Apprentice.  Okinowa!  (I have no idea what that means but it makes me laugh) I have some much to watch and so little time. 

Anyone ever watch The Haunted on Animal Planet.  It is starting over again this week and it is pretty enthralling!  Well I love it! 

Annnnnd on Thursday we are going to see Roger Waters at the ACC and I am taking the day off!  YEAHAW!!!!  He is doing The Wall this time, we saw him three years ago when he did Darkside of the Moon!  It was phenomenal!

See ya next week for my take on  the rest of the shows.  CAN’T WAIT TILL CRIMINAL MINDS COMES BACK!

Be Kind to Pets Week and Mental Health Week, intersect.

Be kind to be kind to animals week is May 2 – 8 and Mental Health week is May 3 – 9, 2010. 

As well there are two days till Friday which is April 30th, ot onlythe day you have to have filed your taxes by but the day that Brindi\’s mom finds out the fate of her beloved girl.  I really wish her well.  Although I am not a religious person I will be seeking good energy for her.  Positivity.  Some blue for her life! 

Please all stop and think about what you would do, how you would feel, what lengths you would go to, if someone took your beloved pet and threatened to kill it….  You hands are tied, you can only see her two hours a week, supervised….  What would you do.  I KNOW I would do the same as Brindi’s mom has! 

I KNOW I could not ask anything of others except some positivity! 

So tonight is Tuesday which means that 19 Kids and Counting is on so I will be watching that.  I am boycotting Dancing with the Stars since Kate was voted off.  I am sooooo bored with American Idol I have stopped watching that too!  I skip to the end of Survivor and ANTM now aswell!  It is the same ol’ same ol’ all the time.  Hmmmmmmmm!  I do however reallllyy love High Society and I am soooooooo excited that  The Hills is coming back but  that it is actually ending!  I have watched this from the first epi of Laguna Beach!    Wooo Hooo!  I can’t wait. 

Ok so going home with my new iPhone!  See you soon!

Well Howwwwwddddyyyyyyy!!!! I’m back!

Seems like forever since I last wrote.  Well it has been over a month.  With the holidays and work being busier than ever and school taking up a big part of my free time…  Something had to give and well this is it.

So here I am coming back at ya.  So TV since January has been OK!  I really like the new Life Unexpected.  It is a cute, funny, little show that seemed to catch me right from the first minute! 

Now that Vampire Diaries is back I am even more hooked than I was before, I actually referred to it as my Second fave show after Criminal Minds.  I am still hooked on Ice Road Truckers 2 and Ice Pilots, have to admit I have a little crush on Scott!  http://www.icepilots.com/profile_scott.php 

I have also started watching The Deep End which I am also quite liking… 

I hate to admit that even though I swore I would never watch it, I started watching Grey’s Anatomy with my Grandmother at Christmas and now I am hooked.  Of course I am watching American Idol,

and the rest of my faves, House, NCIS, Criminal Minds, The Metalist, Brothers and Sisters, Bones, Fringe… 

Survivor starts this week Woo Hoo should be good.

America’s Next Top Model is starting in March… 

What else!  Oh ya!  Those Housewives, OC and Atlanta are running at the same time, I really wish they would put the new NYC and New Jersey seasons on, I like them the best.  Mmmm mmm!  TROUBLE (in the words of Travis Tritt!) They are all trouble! 

I miss Tori and Dean.  I REALLY miss my Kate and her Eight and Table for 12

However with the Duggars back and the show being renamed 19 Kids and Counting, with the birth of little Josie Brooklyn I have something to fill the void!  I wish them the best with the journey they have ahead of them with their newest little one who was born at 1lb 6oz.  http://www.examiner.com/x-24089-TV-Examiner~y2010m2d3-Duggar-family-reveals-intimate-details-of-Josies-birth-on-Special-Duggar-Delivery

Also I am a little bit addicted to CAKE BOSS!  Did you see the full sized NASCAR cake they built, if not here it is!  http://blog.zap2it.com/kate_ohare/2010/01/the-cake-boss-takes-on-nascar-in-a-big-way.html

AND dear Jesus I miss EASTWICK!

Now as for everything else (yes TV takes up a really big part of my life) Brody and the cats are well.  James and I are trucking along better than ever.  My boss is retiring so work is kind of up in the air right now, however REALLY over the top busy!  School is also keeping me busy.  I am in the throws of completing my last course in Criminal Psych.  I have one assignment, eight profiling cases and one paper to write, before the exam and well them that’s it that’s all folks.  On the other hand, I have to complete my PMP course load and write that Provincial Exam.  I learned my lesson last semester while working full time.  Being James’ girlfriend, Brody and the cats’ Mom, a daughter, sister, a grand-daughter and friend doesn’t make it easy to complete five courses…  So this semester I took two and it is easier, so I think I will stick with that! 

Well that is about it for  now!  I will try to write more often and bring back some of Brody’s funny stories! 

Thanks,  for stickin’ with me!

So it’s been a while…

I have not watched Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) in a while but this time I started watching late in the season.  I love the Osbournes and routed for Kelly the whole way.  Until I watched Donnie Osmond’s first dance on Monday night.  Well I fell in love.  He won, Kelly came in third.  I am happy and well I will see how it goes with Season 10…  Watch or not to watch that is the question!?

Went to see New Moon this past week-end…  Not impressed.  I loved the book it was my fave of all four I read it in one day at the cottage.  The movie just didn’t do it justice!  Jake all the way for me peeps!  Not contest in my mind!  Love me some werewolves! 

Have been skimming through blog roll here some really good blogs and writing you should do the same when you have some time.

Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man’s hat if you haven’t got a penny a ha’penny will do if you haven’t got a ha’penny then god bless you!  Picture Miss Piggy and John Denver!  I love it.  Gotta break out the CD!!!!  I am so very excited, I am sure it is going to be a good year for us!  I have done most of the shopping only about two more to go! 

Work have been good nothing too much to report.  I for the first time actually enjoy coming to work. 

 Cell phone is busted.  Every timeJames calls it hangs up on him!  LOL!  I think it’s hilarious and it just really ticks him off!  Oh and I busted my Parking break in my car and with a manual trannie it ain’t a good thing!

 Love, happy to be in it! 

Was going to do a pic of the day but found this on YouTube instead!  And they say dogs are dumb!

Here’s a quick recipe too!  They have a new Budget wise section on Kraftfoods.com and a big Potluck section for Christmas and US thanksgiving coming!

http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/chicken-parmesan-bundles-107338.aspx

So, I am going to the One of a Kind show with  my Mother-in-law and Grandmother this Sunday!  I have not been in years, should be fun! 

Along with the One of a Kind we used to go to the Sugar Plum Fair every year at Casa Loma, it was the National Ballet of Canada’s major fundraiser.  Kinda miss it.  We always got these chocolate and caramel covered apples from a place called Treemendous apples.  I don’t know if they still exist!

I am really very sad that  Eastwick has been cancelled it was really the only new show this season that I liked. 

Jon and Kate plus Eight signed off on Monday night!  I am really sad!  I am going to miss that show quite a bit.  STOOPIT  Jon.  Criminal Minds and Vampire Diaries have moved into my fave show category although I am really leaning towards Table for 12 as a replacement and in the end I still have 18 (soon to be 19) Kids and Counting! 

It’s kinda funny that this season I didn’t watch too much of the reality TV, I have not watched Survivor, missed a few of the Hell’s Kitchen, got board with ANTM to the point I PVR’d it and skipped to the end every week so I could just see who got kicked off!  I am getting back to the dramas except when it comes to TLC.  Oh who am  I fooling, still watching the Housewives and Tori and Dean.  Still watching Canada’s Worst Driver!  I love it!  My newly discovered Rescue Ink is GREAT too!

Had lunch with an old friend and her puppy last Friday!  It was nice!  This time of the year is always good to reconnect!  

I miss my best friend we don’t see nearly enough of each other.  Lives are too busy!

A shout of Sympathy to my long time friend MAB.  You have an angel watching down over you know.  Just know that Snoopy is with Tiny and Mowhawk now!  You will always have him in your memory! 

The loss of a loved and cherished pet is devastating especially when they are nearing their 20s.  Here is a website that helps with this…  http://www.pet-loss.net/index.shtml However you need to remember that you have to go through the stages or grief the same as you would with a Human being!  Don’t let anyone tell you any differently!  http://www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm

Well that is me done!  Going to sign off now!  Have a good one!  I won’t leave it so long in between next time! 

 

Meerkats and Lemurs and New TV Seasons… These are a few of my favourite things……

So…  Jon and Kate Plus 8 is coming back on Aug 3^rd.  I cannot wait.  I don’t care what anyone says I love her, I always have this is not just sympathy because she was married to a jack-a$$.  I will watch and support her till she decides that TV is not where she wants to be.

 BUT…

 I found a site that has announced the premier dates for the Fall Season and well I had to call Rogers and order a few channels!  James is gonna kill me!

 So on September 8^th, the new 90210 is coming back but believe it or not the new MELROSE PLACE is starting!  Yeahaw!  Had to order the CW, CTV just pre-empted 90210 too many times last season!

 I noticed that Mental, Psych, The Listener, The Philanthropist, In Plain Sight were not listed at this time.

 On top of that we KNOW that, American Idol will have new shows and then there will be other tantalizing shows I know I will have to watch that have not been added. 

 Why do they do this to me?  I am getting anxious as we speak!  How in the hell am I ever gonna see all of this?  Oh I love my TV….  Thank-you Mr. Philo Taylor Farnsworth for inventing it….. 

PEOPLE Magazine and Fairwell to the Man in the Mirror! Oh and people there is a Garabage STRIKE!

So today I bought PEOPLE because my fave Kate Gosselin is on the cover, it was the only publication that was not depicting her as a monster or as having a total breakdown.  So I flip through it. 

Page 2 an ad for A NEW ABC FAMILY ORIGINAL SERIES….  10 Things I Hate About You!  Why, why, why, why, why, why?  Do they do this.  The movie is one of my faves why do they have to spoil it.  Why are they remaking Flashdance and Footloose?  WHY!!!!!!!  For a new generation.  NO!  Let them watch our generations…..   http://www.tv.com/10-things-i-hate-about-you/show/76282/summary.html

Page 6 There is a snip it about a Marquette Michigan man who’s wife passed on hours after giving birth to their son Moses and how 25 women in the town have banded together to either nurse (ahhh that makes me shudder) or pump their breast milk to feed this baby because of the benefits of breast milk.  I am sure that this baby would have been OK if he was given a bottle!  Really this disgusts me!  http://www.miningjournal.net/page/content.detail/id/528296.html

So then I read the article about Kate Gosselin.  I really am not getting what happened.  They went to Hawaii to renew their vows and now they are getting divorced.  Jon really needs to go to therapy!  He really is having a mid life crisis at 32.  Those kids deserve better!  Marriage is forever! 

So Rachel Griffiths (Sarah on Brothers and Sisters) had a baby….  Don’t really even remember her being pregnant!  So she has an older son get this his name is BANJO!  What the hell….?  So this led me to look up some other crazy celeb baby names!  Bono….  We all know how I feel about Bono…..  His kid is called, Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q?  Reeeaaaalllllyyyyy?  Coco, Apple, Trixiebill, Satchel don’t these people like their children?  What happened to Kim, Mary, Jason, Todd? 

Pamela Anderson is 42!  Wow she is gettin’ old! 

Haggen Dazs has a new ice cream falled five.  It is crafted with just five all-natural incredients.   http://www.haagendazs.com/products/five.aspx

Baby bump!  CRAP I hate that damned saying!  There is no need for it.  Just like a onezie!  IT’S A SLEEPER FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!

Sonic!  Why can’t they come to Canada!  I am going to start a petition.  Well maybe I will just move to Alaska like I decided to anyway to escape this damned heat! 

Did you know that Roma Downey the star of Touched by an Angel is married to Mark Burnett the producer of Survivor?  I sure didn’t.

So apparently the full 80’s fashion resurgence is in swing.  Plastic bracelets, lace tops, crocks replacing jellies, short skirts long shirts,  long fake pearls, skinny jeans, neon (ohhhhhhhh nooooooooooo!)  According to PEOPLE’s stylewatch section it is showing no signs of fading.  I should be happy.  I grew up in the 80’s I have done this before.  It took me a long time to get used to not dressing like that, but to tell you the truth it is hard for me to go back.  Hmmm!  I guess I have to face it I am growing up!   

Garbage STRIKE means that no matter how long you leave your rubbish out by the curb there are no special faries that are going to come and get it.  Don’t put it out! 

Gonna close it for now.  So many things to talk about.  However I think the Gloved one, the moonwalker, the Thriller needs to be mentioned.  RIP MJ you were so much to so many!

What do I watch!?

Thanks to the inventor of the PVR and Time-shifting!  I don’t know how I would ever survive without them.  If this was the same person that is two miracles should they not be Sainted?  I was going to try digital cable for three months because it was free, that was back in about 1999!  Here we are 10 years later and I have every channel there is a PVR and Time-shifting.  Can you say addiction!?
