Summer TV Preview

It's time for me to talk TV. With the season finales of all my shows it's time to look ahead at what the summer will bring us.

  • Pirate Master: I'm totally excited about this one. It could be cheesy... of course. However, it could be the perfect marriage between Survivor, the Amazing Race and Pirates of the Carribean. Fun! Starts May 31st
  • Big Brother: Starts in July and I can't wait. I LOVE BIG BROTHER! Titty wood!
  • National Bingo Night: hmmm. I don't know about this one. I guess I just don't get it. Bingo is fun though... so I guess it's got potential. Also, isn't that bald, British host guy a carpenter from Extreme Makeover Home Edition? Random.
  • America's Got Talent: Oh David Hasselhoff.. you magnificent you. I didn't watch this at all last year, for obvious reasons. However, this year they have really raised the bar by replacing Brandy with Sharon Osbourne. lol THEN they raised the pot by tossing in some Jerry Springer. Folks... that's got good times baked right in. lol This is your favorite show.
  • So You Think You Can Dance: Starts May 24 and I CAN'T WAIT! I love this show! Mom and I even went to the tour for last season's cast. It was so awesome! Fuck Dancing With the Stars. These kids are real dancers and it's so much fun to watch. Although this season I'll miss Cat Deeley saying "Bunji" lol If you watched it then you got that. If not, too bad. :D
  • Top Chef: Starts June 13. Anyone who likes cooking or eating should enjoy this show. I really love seeing the different dishes these talented chefs come up with each week. Now, they are artists and that means that they are all usually big time drama queens, and that can get old. I really can't wait though.
  • Traveler: I watched the pilot and it was pretty good. I think this is a show I could get into. I'm hesitant only because I hate getting into a show that is mystery/answer based and then the show gets canceled and you never get your answers (Threshold, Kidnapped, Jericho, Invasion, etc.) airs May 30.
  • Kid Nation: "will take 40 children and set them up in an abandoned New Mexico town. Cameras will follow them as they try to set up their own society without adult supervision." I just found this online... this could be pretty cool. Interesting.

My Sweet Country Buffet Seranade.

So, I had a really great birthday this year. It ended up being a week long celebration, as it should be. I got to spend sometime with my cousin Travis and he got me Year Zero. (sweet!) Mom, Gma and I hit the Cinco De Mayo festival downtown, and that always kicks ass. I had the BEST tacos ever, then that night my, my mom and some friends hung out at Buffalo Wild Wings for some food, beer and to watch the Oscar DelaHoya fight. My mom and I loves us some Oscar (so we were pretty disappointed that he lost. good fight though.) My mom and I went out to dinner and of all places for my to pick where I wanted to eat for a birthday celebration dinner... I picked the Country Buffet. lol Don't judge me! It's just what I picked alright?! Anyway, as we were walking in I said to my mom that she must be pretty dissapointed that we went somewhere were she can't have anyone sing to me. ...can you feel it coming yet.... So, later we're to the dessert and coffee phase of eating and suddenly (out of nowhere suddenly, like they acutally scared me) our section waitress and section busboy appear singing Happy Birthday to me and present me with a piece of cake that even had a candle in it and some icing "decoration". Now, to help set the scene it's important to note that this particular busboy didn't speak english, and had to keep looking to the waitress for what to say(which was good times). Also, the Country Buffet was rockin' this particular night so I don't think anyone else even heard them sing it. It was the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen. Big props to Mom for pulling that together. Touche. Mom got me the new Joss Stone cd, a starbucks gift card (which is always nice) and tickets to Champions on Ice this coming wednesday. (by the way closet figure skating fan Jake is going with me, my mom and my Gma. lol) Justin got me a NIN dvd, Jake got me a Casino Royale box set. Wow... what a great birthday. Thanks to all my friends and family for making it such a great birthday year.

Monday, May 14

This time...it's for Amurica!

So, I'm at the library using their computers (by the way the Library kicks ass! It's been awhile and I forgot how cool they are. You can do anything here....it's totally tits.) So, I've got 26 min. left at my station. Let's do this:

A: Movie Reviews

  • Spiderman3: At the end of the day it's still a Spiderman movie and that means it kicks ass. However the title of this post refers to the WORST scene EVER in Spiderman3. Spidey lands in front of a giant American flag! GAG!! They might as well had him say "This is for the widows of 9/11!" lol Still, I liked it. Did it rock my face off? No, but if you like Spiderman you should see it.
  • Grandma's Boy: I've got 2 people who told me to see this movie and both lent it to me to watch. Jake has been the one telling me it's not good and not to waste my time. Watched it. My verdict? Totally funny, Jake is dumb. It was funny.

B: My friend from Rhode Island is coming out twice this summer and I'm so excited to see her. It's been a long time since I've seen my Donkey Lips. :D lol

C: OMG! I could not be more excited about the summer ahead. Why? Well this is going to be one of the best soap opera summers I've ever had. There is some major shit going down in Salem and I am SO HAPPY. The new writer has really settled in, and you can get a sense of where he wants to take the show now... and that means bringing back A LOT of people that have been gone for awhile. YEAH! Interested? Check it out here!

D: I finally heard from the DNC about volunteering at the convention in '08. I should be hearing back again soon about what kind of help they need. I'm really excited to be volunteering for this. I don't know... I guess it just feels good being involved somehow. I just want to party with that many people who dislike W as much as I do. Good times.

E: I get to go see McDreamy (my brain doctor) this week. It's been about 7-8 mos. since I was last there so I'm hoping that there will be good news. I'm hoping that he tells me I'm all good and I can quit taking my meds. I think he'll probably want to do another EEG though. We'll see. Wish me luck on that.

F: Regarding the winners

  • Amazing Race: Fuck that! I wanted the Barbies to win, but would rather have seen Mirna and Charla win over Eric and Danielle. Whatever.
  • Survivor: I wish that Yau Man had made it to the end and won, but since he didn't I was glad that Earl won. congrats Earl. (I still can't believe that Cassandra made it to the end)

Ok, time is almost up on my computer station so I'll say Goodbye for today.

Next time we'll discuss my birthday, DORK becoming Animo, and I've got some thoughts on Dustin Diamond. See ya later.

P.S. Christoph has a web page now, I've added links to the right. If you need any video work done he's your guy so check out his site.

Unfortunately that's all there is time for today.
