Another dancer is crowned...

...and I am SO glad it was NOT Mario Lopez! SO happy that Emmitt Smith won - that's two years in a row for Cheryl Burke not too shabby. You can't not love Emmitt, Mario Lopez just bothers me - it's hard to take him seriously knowing he's really AC Slater, and the puss on Karina's face said it all. hehe.

Well, that's another show off my already skimpy DVR list. The season finale of Laguna Beach was also on last night, so once I get around to watching that, that's even less tv for my DVR. I might actually have to start watching some of those movies I keep recording.

i hate mondays

I am have a terrible start to my week for a variety of reasons I will spare you the gory details of. Because of the bad mood this has caused, I'm protesting work (even though work only accounts for a tiny portion of why I'm cranky) and opting to vent here instead. Figure maybe if I can distract myself by talking about tv, that lessens the risk that I take out my crankiness on someone at work, because nobody needs that. Unfortunately, I hardly have much to talk about. Love, love LOVE my new tv, but have spent most of my time utilizing it to watch football rather than tv shows. I have only watched one episode of last week's OC doubleheader, so I can't comment much there aside from the fact that Adam Brody continues to steal my heart episode after episode, season after season. I'll reserve the rest of my commentary on that until after I watch the second episode from last week, since I have a feeling whatever happened in that episode may make my commentary irrelevant.

Other than that, I have been a terrible tv watcher in terms of anything other than sports. Football in HD is mesmerizing...

kiefer!

Got my first taste of Kiefer in season 6 of 24. INTENSE!


Oh man it's gonna be SO FREAKIN GOOD!

HDTV

Didn't I say I was going to start blogging again once I got my HD tv and cable all set up? Hmm, I've had it about a week and a half now, and am finally getting around to writing about it. I have been too busy basking in the glory of my super cool HDTV. I don't even know how I watched tv before this - everything just looks bigger and better now. I have taken to watching football games I don't really care all that much about for the sole reason that they are in HD. Sad, but true. In fact, I'll watch almost anything in HD now. I haven't really gotten around to building up a huge inventory on my DVR list yet, but am working on it. I did watch Desperate Housewives last night though - intense! I don't care what anyone says, Lynette is a badass. What a crazy episode, and especially intense in HD!

HD is good times, I tell you!

3 more days...

...til i return to tv. Time Warner shows up saturday to hook me up with some bad ass HD cable service. Combined with my super cool double recliner leather sofa, I may never leave my apartment again. ever. I will have cable in time for the season premiere of the OC on November 2nd! wooohoo! Life after Marissa is the storyline for season 4, and it'll be totally fascinating I'm sure.

Life without regular tv (aside from what I've been catching on the DVR that still resides at my old home) has been strangely refreshing, but I gotta tell you, I am SO looking forward to having it back in my life, as it will be bigger and better. And there will be FOOTBALL! Good times.

pathetic, i know

Okay, so I have deserted both tv and this blog. You don't know how much it pains me to not have been in possession of television for the past two weeks since I have moved into my new place. But, I am finally getting my act together - I ordered a bitch ass tv that will be arriving this evening, and Time Warner is showing up next week to hook me up with some HD cable service. I CANNOT WAIT to watch football and my shows on my new HD flat screen. SWEET. So, now I will be not only a homeowner but the proud owner of a super sweet 40" LCD HDTV. Life is good. I totally PROMISE that my blog will be back to its regularly scheduled programming once I've got things set up which should be by next weekend. Then I can watch and write about my shows again. And football! In HD! Woohoo!

and done.

My tv watching habits have died a slow terrible death in the past week or two due to the Big Move. That's right kids, I've officially occupied my new place of residence and have been completely absorbed in doing "homeowner" stuff. And so I'm at least two weeks behind on tv with no end in site. Well, okay I take that back. I'd like to think that eventually I'll get settled in and then once the bad ass tv I am buying shows up, tv will be back in full swing! Until then... Penn State this weekend! Cafe on Friday! Tailgating on Saturday! Michigan-PSU Saturday nite! Ohhhh, it's going to be a bad ass weekend. Just like the tv I don't have yet. bad ass.

melting pot

Okay, so much for Racist Survivor. I'm still terribly behind in my tv, but managed to sneak in a few shows last night anyway while continuing my packing chores: season premiere of Desperate Housewives, Dancing with the Stars (okay fine, I only actually watched the last five minutes of the elimination episode to see who got booted), Laguna Beach and Racist Survivor. I have lots to say about all three, but since I am somewhat limited in my time here with lots going on at work, I will confine my comments to the last one, because I just want to express my EXTREME disappointment that Racist Survivor is racist no more! They went ahead and mixed up all the tribes to make two big tribes of all different ethnicities, so now it's not NEARLY as ignorant as it was in the first couple of episodes! How disappointing. All the hype about Racist Survivor for nothing. Nothing! Now it's just Survivor: Cook Islands, and that's just not nearly as fun. hmph.

i have nothing.

Well, I have nothing tv-related, that is. What I do have is a condo and a mortgage! Yay! I am officially a homeowner, but in the process, have fallen days and days and days behind in tv because I've been busy doing condo-related stuff. So I have absolutely nothing to report in the tv arena, and probably won't for a bit while I try to get my act together with my new home. Will try to play a little tv catch up soon, but between the condo stuff and my niece's birthday, and then the playoffs starting next week, and then moving in to the condo over my birthday weekend, it's just not looking very promising...
