It's only getting better....

I always dread the end of the television season. the few weeks following are terrible and nothing is on tv to watch. but its slowly getting better.

the summer shows are starting and tv is slowly getting better again (at least for me and hubby).

so far we have: So you think you can dance. there have been 2 episode so far...the auditions. like Idol these are the best and a laugh riot on how delusional some people are on how good they are. i do feel bad for some of them on how clueless they are and seem like they have never seen the show themselves and no clue what calibur of dancer they are looking for.

last night one of our favorite summer show started: Hells Kitchen. oh my gosh this show is harsh. all i have to say about Gordan Ramsey is he would me cry at the very first word out of his mouth towards me. i cant handle someone yelling at me like that.....i guess thats why i know i will never be on this show. lol the contestants this season are lets just say "interesting". after only one show i have no clue who im going to root for...but oh my gosh there are a few (not saying who yet) i feel shouldnt have even been put on the show. i guess you have to have those to make a good show.

there have been a couple other shows that have started that im not a fan of. the pirate one....or should i say the "summer survivor" show. its ok....not for me.....but hubby likes it.

hope you are having a good week so far. mine is ok. knee has been really killing me since i had to stop the meds due to the stomach problems that i have to get under control before he will let me back onto them. so its just tylonal #2 for me and thats it. *sigh* so my depression is trying to get the best of me even though im taking my meds like im supposed to....its so hard.

big hugs to you.....

A new obsession of mine....

a few weeks ago while watching Oprah she had on Criss Angel and I watched only due to nothing else being on. I had known about him for sometime now but never was a real fan. but after seeing him on Oprah I saw him in a different light. not sure what it was but i really enjoyed him.

well....to my joy ...this weekend on A&E there were several hours of Mind Freak being played and since again nothing else was on tv and we were having a very lazy sunday at home i watched about 4 hours of it. IM HOOKED! i totally enjoyed watching his slight of hand tricks. the one thing that im not a big fan of....and this goes for all the other magicians/illusionists are the "big" tricks. i can watch slight of hand and mind tricks all day long.

im now a new fan of his and im looking forward to watching the start of his third season of Mind Freak.

today on the A&E website he is having a live webcast of his current escape (cement block) he's doing in new york city. it just started over a hour ago and will go until tomorrow morning. im planning on keeping an eye on him.

have a good monday...hugs

Are you on the list?....

HEROES IS BACK!!!! im so excited that i have something else to look forward to watching on tv.

my absolute favorite Hero is Hiro Nakamura. i cant explain why other then he is accepting of his special power and love to hear him speak japanese. plus he is adorable! see.....how cute is he? i have always had a thing for japanese men since i was school age.

my question about the show right now that has me wondering is: Is Mr. Bennett and the Haitian guy good or bad. i totally cant decide on this one. im leaning towards Mr Bennett on being bad but the haitian guy helping him is really good and is there to keep things from getting out of hand. *shrugs* im so confused...lol

we were so excited after the show that we both sat there letting out sighs as if we had just had the best sex ever and didnt want it to end. WHAT A GREAT SHOW!! thank you NBC for having this show in your line up. just dont F&ck it up like ABC did to Lost.

What the *bleep*??.....

I love awards shows and even more the pre-award show red carpet show. I love love love them. but it seems the past year stations have been cutting them shorter or not having them at all. last week was the Peoples choice awards...and NO red carpet show.

so tonight i was looking forward to the watching some preshow red carpet stuff and all i found was one station "STAR" (canada's E!) had a 2 hour pre show thing listed in the schedule. BUT... there was nothing. there were other shows in the place of it. GRRR! I had no pre show red carpet fashion show prior to the Golden Globes...im totally disappointed and feeling like im missing out on the best part of the night.

i really do hope that the Oscars dont let me down or im just going to give up all together watching the awards shows. its so sad that im missing out on something that i have been enjoying since i could remember when i was a kid and have never missed. its always great to see all the pretty clothes and who is showing up with who and without who.

BOOOO to the tv stations not showing the red carpet fun!!!

....and have a good week :) hugs

a little bit of everything....

I have to say last night I laughed more at a tv show then i have in a very long time. we were watching the Saturday Night Live. hubby taped this past weekend for me since Justin Timberlake was hosting and thought i might be interested in it (he is so sweet). if you missed it you have to see if you can find it on youtube...(here is the link to one of the skits)...it was consistantly funny and OMG i almost peed my pants a couple times laughing. oh....and we also watched that new game show on nbc...Identity. it wasnt bad at all. we had fun playing along guessing the identity of each person.

we have a few flurries this morning...but nothing much to give us a white christmas. funny how four winters has changed my perspective on what a white christmas really is. it feels very odd for us not to have snow right now (from what i know).

all my shopping is done and i've wrapped a few things. going to finish up the wrapping today. HO HO HO!

im reading a new book for the holiday season....i bought a series of books only cuz the one that is out currently now is the 3rd in a series so i had to get the other 2 and start from the beginning. its Deck the Halls by mary and carol higgings-clark. im really enjoying the book since the series of books revolve around the christmas time.

an update on the knee....its just ok. still hurts but not a 10 on the scale. it peaks around a 7 now and not as often. the pills im taking can take up to 2 weeks for them to be in the system full stregnth and im a week down tomorrow. im having to take a tylenol#2 to sleep at night ...i tried going without it for 4 nights but the knee just wouldnt let me sleep so i took on last night and slept a little better...but not great. one day at a time.

so are you done shopping? wrapping?

have a great day today and hugs to you.....
