greatest show on earth

Okay, so I just said I was going on blog vacation til after the holiidays. Well, I decided that I just had to comment one more time before that about last night's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. In HD. It was SUPER. Love Alessandra. Love Heidi. Love Justin Timberlake. I don't think it gets any better than that!! I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- it's the one time of the year I think I was meant to be a lesbian. Except this year, because I have a crush on Justin Timberlake, so getting to see him reminded me why I'm straight.

And yes, as if the show itself weren't great enough, I got to watch it in HD!!! Totally fabulous. Some highlights for those of you that were unfortunate enough to miss it:

Okay, I'm out. See you in '07!

happy holidays

So as I'm sure NObody is still reading this blog anymore, and I don't even have much of a reason to write anyway due to the lack of decent tv, I think I'm going on holiday hiatus. I have officially kicked off my holiday season, complete with holiday parties, christmas lights and a poinsettia (which I am trying very very hard not to kill) in my apartment. I've starting my christmas shopping and have begun circulating holiday cards, candy canes and other assorted holiday items. I have even fallen victim to the overpriced holiday drinks at Starbucks -- the peppermint hot chocolate is to die for.

And so... until the new year, and season six of 24 starts up with the 2-night 4-hour premiere on January 14-15, this blog is on vacation. Happy and safe holidays to all!

...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.
