Say it Ain't So!!
Feb. 10th, 2017 01:18 pmI'm dying over here--my Olympic TV boyfriend, Bob Costas, is stepping down as the host for NBC's Olympic coverage. WTF??!! No one else can be as witty, effortlessly charming and as knowledgeable about sports. DAMN!!
So it’s January 4th of 2017 and I decided that I need to vent. So brace yourselves for a completely random bit of complaining and belly-aching.

Covering the stupid job
Jul. 25th, 2016 07:16 pmSo, I have to cover the hateful and stupid job that I abhor beyond measure, today and tomorrow. I am happy to say that it is now 1 day done, 1 more to go. Wish me luck--I'm going to need it. :):)
And it's only the first day of the Democratic Convention and I'm already sick of the over the top news coverage and the "Philadelphia's so awesome" crap the media is trying to spew. I guess the people in Cleveland had to endure all of that hype last week at the Republican Convention--too funny :)

Why must my TV show annoy me?
Mar. 21st, 2016 08:29 amOkay, the bright boys at CBS decide to move Elementary to Sunday night at 10pm. Yes, that annoys the crap out of me because that means if a game/sporting event is running long, my dvr won't be able to record the whole program. And that means I'll have to watch it On Demand but you can't always fast forward through commercials, so you have to just sit there waiting for the show to resume. UUUGGGHHHHH!!!
So much to talk about regarding my favorite TV shows but I would like to take a minute to talk about how impressed I am by France’s reactions to the Parisian terror attacks. I am proud of them for rallying so quickly and acting so decisively against the bad guys. Good for them and Viva la France!
( My squeeing over Hamlet and ice skating--What? :) )
( My squeeing over my super-awesome TV shows: Supergirl, Blindspot, The Flash, The Blacklist and Elementary )

Peter Pan Live! and other Randomness Ahoy
Dec. 5th, 2014 09:52 amI adored Peter Pan. I though Allison Williams did an excellent job as Peter—unlike a certain country music star, Allison can actually sing and act which is a must for a musical theater production.
For the most part the Darling family were wonderful—the parents were pitch perfect as were the young boys playing John and Michael but the actress playing Wendy was trying too damn hard to be earnest. Christopher Borle in the dual role of Mr. Darling and the pirate Smee was particularly a revelation. He stole every scene he was in and did you see the muscles on that man’s arms? WOO HOO!!
The dance sequences involving The Lost Boys, pirates and Tiger Lily's tribe were excellent and definitely Broadway caliber.
I’m worried about Christopher Walken because he looked quite ill. He was strangely pale and he seemed almost lethargic in his scenes.
Overall, it was a lovely presentation.
( Now onto the bad: )

Death Comes to Pemberley
Oct. 26th, 2014 10:19 pmHas anyone else seen this? Holy crap but I can not get past just how horribly unattractive the actors are who are playing Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy amd I know that's shallow but it's disconcerting to see the pretty and sparkingly Elizabeth played by such an older and drab woman. And the characaterization seems wrong--since when does Elizabeth call her husband "Darcy?"
I think I really am a heretic--GO ME!
Aug. 7th, 2014 10:27 amSo, last night was the second to last meeting of the scary and backwards women's bible study group I've been attending, and I have never felt more alienated which really ticks me off.( Freaking out behind the cut )
Parish insanity
Jul. 16th, 2014 09:56 pmWell, I made the mistake of talking about one of my many viewpoints that differs with church teachings at my parish bible study group ( Tell off behind cut )
Well, the season finales have been hit or miss this TV season and now my community theater is letting me down.

Hannibal and Rosemary's Baby--OH MY!!
Apr. 18th, 2014 11:30 pmI love this show and I must talk about it :):)
( Hannibal squeeing behind the cut :) )
But what the hell is up with NBC and their need to remake already excellent movies with crappy remakes? Let me count the ways Rosemary's Baby will be horrendous:
( Ranting behind the cut to spare you all :) )

TWOP to be shut down?! Say it ain't so!
Mar. 27th, 2014 01:37 pmI just read this article: http://www.thewire.com/entertainment/2014/03/end-of-an-internet-era-television-without-pity-gets-shuttered/359733/
and I am stunned. TWOP is where I went to snark on TV and to laugh about the absurdity of certain shows--Smallville--or to squee about the excellence of others--Sherlock and Elementary. What a sad commentary on our society that a site this awesome doesn't have a place on the Internet.

Waste of my time--UUGGHH!!
Mar. 11th, 2014 09:40 pmI just came from this stupid stress relieving class at my church that has actually given me more stress. I thought it was only going to be an hour and it was almost two—YIKES!
I realize that I am not a person who enjoys philosophizing on life or talking about feeling your breath or any of that other stuff. I don’t get anything out of it and it winds up just annoying the crap out of me.
And then as we’re leaving, I hold the door for the person behind me, and the chick just starts breezing through without holding the door. I’m like, “Bitch, I’m not holding the door for you. FRIGGIN’ GRAB IT!” so I let go of the door and it started to slam on the person behind her. The she realizes what she’s supposed to do, she says, “Oh sorry about that!” Seriously, hold the door for the next person—it’s not that difficult.

The Deep Freeze...
Jan. 26th, 2014 10:51 amand getting low on heating oil. We are down to about a quarter of a tank and while we won't use that all in one day, we definitely have to call the oil company on Monday for a fill-up. And on Monday we are supposed to have temps in the 30's but Tuesday and Wednesday are supposed to be back in the teens and single digits. Now is not the time to get low on heating fuel.
I hope everyone who is suffering through this horrible cold weather is doing alright.

The Polar Vortex and Snow
Jan. 21st, 2014 09:12 pmAnd here we are again with horrible arctic temperatures: it is currently 14 degrees F and I just had to shovel about eight inches of snow. Now the snow was powdery, so it wasn't too heavy but the cold wind from the polar vortex which is now evading the East Coast is making it horrendous to be outside.
I can't wait for Spring.
