A fact about me: I don't binge TV. I just can't stay interested in a show for more than 2, maybe 3 episodes at a shot. The best part of that is that once I find a show I can extend it out for months. And I'll take time off in between seasons, too. (The worst part is that my viewing habits are completely incompatible with WM.) I just finished season 1 of Welcome to Wrexham and I really enjoyed it. Think Ted Lasso, but real. This series made my opinion of Ryan Reynolds go from "ugh" to "eh, ...
Ted Lasso Season 3 predictions & episode 1 thoughts
As I write this on Wednesday night we are watching episode 1 of season 3 of Ted Lasso. This is supposed to be the final season, so I want to write my predictions down just to see if they happen. Thoughts on Episode 1 are at the bottom of the post. PREDICTIONS Keeley ends up leaving her PR firm and returning to Richmond to work. Keely and Roy break up but reunite by the end of the season. Sam and Rebecca's past relationship is leaked to the press. (Nate digging up dirt by Rupert's ...
Currently, rainy edition
Listening to the continuing rain. It started Saturday afternoon, but I did manage to get some time in at my personal "swim club." The handiwork at the top right is WM's effort to keep Murphy and Jack (the boxer living on the other side of that fence) from meeting. None of the fences that surround our yard are our own, but we do what we can to reinforce them. :) Murphy is on the mend. WM's been up with him every night for the last 3 nights, making sure he gets let out when he has to go. ...
My Celebrity Freebie list, 2015 edition
Like almost every other blogger out there, I've been crawling through Friends on Netflix. Like years ago, my favorites are Phoebe and Chandler. Rachel annoys and Ross can just pound sand. What a jerk. I just finished up season 3, a season I originally boycotted because I was mad that Monica and Richard broke up. Once I got over my grief I caught most of it in reruns. One of my favorite episodes in Season 3 is "The One with Frank Jr." which had the gang's Celebrity Freebie list as a ...
Friday Five: Mother Goose, May I?
Happy Friday! I watched The Sound of Music Live last night on NBC. I think Carrie Underwood did a great job singing the songs. Her acting wasn't great. I was VERY excited to see Stephen Moyer (aka Vampire Bill) as Captain Von Trapp, but his accent was slippery and he never looked like he had feelings for Maria other than "MUST PUNCH ALL THE THINGS." Most of the kids were okay. Usual garden-variety big lunged and creepily-precocious theater kids. Realizing (unlike many others) that this was an ...
Would you be mine?
I have reason to believe the ghost of Mr. Rogers visited my car not long ago. Just another day at my dee-luxe apartment in the sky. ...
an evening with Grey's Anatomy
Isn't it grand to get a sterling letter of recommendation from an ex-husband? Divorce can be done right. Also, commenters? I love you all. Anyway, I was sleepless last night so I watched the last episode of Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy. I don't think there's anyone out there further behind in this show than I am...but I'll put my reaction after the jump. ...
WTG Taylor!
I don't start following American Idol until they're down to fewer than 10 contestants. Then I turn it on in the living room as I play on the computer, and I listen to the performances. I much prefer good songs to the atrocities in the auditions. And I watch the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of the final show. Because I don't need that much Ryan Seacrest in my life. A while back, I decided I liked Taylor best. Why? Hard to say. When he sang "You Send Me" it drew me away from the ...
loving the Martha Stewart Kool-aid
I like Martha Stewart. A lot. I subscribe to her magazine. I make her mashed potatoes and her macaroni and cheese. I dressed as her for Halloween last year. I was bummed when she was arrested, convicted, and imprisoned. I was happy when she got out. So it was with part morbid curiosity and part joyful glee that I recorded her new "Martha" show that is on in my area weekdays at noon. I'm 100% sure that this show is an effort to rehab her image. No more "evil, bitchy" Martha. Nope. This Martha ...
Sobering
I make less money than Homer Simpson. Sweet merciful crap. ...
Voyeurism
(now...what was that pic I was supposed to post again? I can't seem to recall...) This TV season I only watched 3 shows: Survivor, The Amazing Race, and The Apprentice. They're now finished, and I was pleased with the results on all three. Tonight I was hurting BAD for some television. So before I drove to the new library (I am so much in love w/that place that I want to become a librarian) with Mom, I set the DVR to record "American Idol" and ... and ... another show I'm too embarassed to ...
aieeeeeeee!!!
For the first time EVER...the Survivor I wanted to win actually won. AND, he was the most deserving! Congratulations, Fireman Tom. You rocked my world and can carry me out of a burning building any day! And after 16 weeks of my rooting for the 'older guy' to win, I learned tonight that Tom is 41. Only 8 years older than I am. Younger than Madonna, Michael Jackson and Brad Pitt. I also learned that someone with the same amount of athleticism and cunning as me can make it to the final two. ...
