Growing up Gotti.

Ok so the show premiered last night on A&E. How many of you watched it and what do you think? I am getting a lot of searches for Victorias bra size.
I'm gonna be honest with ya.
I don't know but I am guessing that it's huge.
I am also getting a lot of comments on the Gotti boys. You can find quizzes and other stuff relating to them here at their own site, Hotti Gotti.
I am not going to get into which boy is cuter etc because well, they are only slightly older than my own boys and to start talking about them in a who's cuter sense is well, just plain creepy for me cuz I'm too old to be crushing on teen boys.
But please feel free to discuss them here and the show and things you liked, didn't like etc.
Go ahead, tell me which Gotti you think is cutest. I won't mind.

I think they're trying to kill me.

I see this commercial today for this show, Dance 360
coming to UPN this fall and I immediately start retching.
WTF???
A hip hop dance contest on tv?
You got served my kids start teasing and laughing.
That's just great. I can't believe this shit honestly.
Kel Mitchell is funny. I used to love him on Nick with the whole good burger thing but is this all his agent could drum up for work for him?
They couldn't land him on SNL or a movie?
Gah.
The only way I see this house watching this is if there is absolutely nothing else on at all and we can't decide on a movie.
And then it will be for laughs

I received another promo tape for

Growing up Gotti.
It was unedited segment of episode 1 and I gotta tell you, Victoria is like every single mom I know.
Loves her kids to death no matter what they do, wants to move on with her life despite the kids objections and can't find a decent guy to move on with.
The house is a mess, the kids are throwing parties and she's yelling at them but at the end of the day, she loves them more than anything.
I am not a fan of reality tv at all but this looks interesting.
It was very interesting and highly entertaining. I wanted to keep watching more but the tape ended.

It's really sad when you

would consider renting 2 full seasons of x-files just so you can see Jose Chungs From Outer Space and Home.

Heart is playing live on the Today show.

Sebastian says to me: Are they from the 80's?
Me: Sort of. Mostly late 70's and 80's.
Sebastian: They must be old if they're from the 80's.
Me: Thanks Sebastian. All us people who were alive in the 80's are old geezers now huh?
Sebastian: Well not you mom. *followed by big hug*
Me: Nice save buddy.

It's like a train wreck.

I watch Maury every single day and every single day for months and months now, it has been shows about who is my babies daddy.
3, 4, 5, sometimes 9 men are tested for paternity.
I laugh and the boys laugh because the people get so upset and screaming at each other and shit and the guys calling the girls sluts and hos and the girls calling the guys bastards etc for not being there for the kids.
It's entertaining but also very, very, sad.
These girls don't all appear to be from some bumpkin towns where no one talks about birth control and the guys know they should be wearing condoms but for real, why are there so many of these types of shows?
How come there are so many girls just spreading their legs to guys they don't even know and the numbers of guys in some cases, blows my mind.
I don't understand this.
We all know that teens are having sex but how come no one is sitting their daughter down and saying hey, this is the rest of your life we are talking about here. This isn't just about one night of fun, hell no sweetie, this is about possibly getting pregnant and having this baby to raise for the next 18 years of your life. Your hopes, your dreams, your goals, are now on the back burner if you get knocked up. Why aren't mothers and fathers dragging their kids to the gynecologist for birth control and the drugstore for condoms?
Don't tell me that you believe that if you tell your kid not to have sex that they are actually going to listen. They are having sex. They are getting pregnant.
They are having sex with so many partners that they don't know who the father is and the guys don't even remember the girls names.
It's just very sad this is going on and no one is seems to want to help stop the epidemic.

Did they forget this was already a movie?

TNT (which I don't have because I don't have cable) has made an 'original' miniseries about Stephen Kings, Salem's Lot.
Not once in the description of this made for tv movie on their site or on TVguide.coms
click for large screenshot of the review

review of this miniseries, is it mentioned that a movie was already made about this book.
Salem's Lot starring David Soul, directed by Tobe Hooper, filmed in 1979, was in my opinion, a great scary movie.
The kid tapping at the window of his best friends house after being turned into a vampire, was downright scary.
The big, huge, bluish vampire that shows up in that kitchen, scared the beejezus out of me when I first saw this movie.
It still does.
This was originally shown as a miniseries on tv back then and did a damn fine job of condensing that 400 page book down.
I don't care that they got Rob Lowe to play Ben Mears. Big whoopdie doo.
When are tv stations and movie makers going to start writing their own new material instead of having to remake movies that are good enough the way they were when originally made.
I have seen the original Chainsaw Massacre and the new one and they are both equally good but the first Chainsaw was in my opinion, more menacing, more creepy, more frightening.
I'm glad I don't have cable.
This way I can remember movies the way they were before someone decides to ruin them in all their campy and menacing goodness.

I'm not a huge fan of hockey.

But I did watch the double over time between Tampa and Calgary last night.
Was that not the most kickass double over time?
Holy shit! They were knocking the crap out of each other into the boards, the ice, I saw a few high sticks. That was a fight.
It was just back and forth and back and forth and no goals.
Exciting and tense.
And we won.
So now we have to do it all over again Monday night.
Great game last night.

June 01, 2004

I love commercials.

Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea, yay Pepto Bismol!
I love the little dance.
C'mon everybody now!
Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea, yay Pepto Bismol!

It's a HOT dog.

Am I the only one

who didn't give a shit about American Idol?
We watched it cuz the boys always want to watch who wins but I could have cared less.
I stopped giving a flying fuck when Reuben won over Clay.
I think Fantasia has a nice sound but she will be limited in the type of music she can do because of that sound.
But who cares.

May 24, 2004

You know the FCC has gone too far when...

The Today show on NBC had to block the statue of Davids penis from the cameras view by making the reporter stand strategically in front of it.
It is a sad day when we have to block a statue that has survived lightening, a war and a crazy man with a hammer, because someone might get offended.
Stop the FCC, sign the petition in the sidebar if you haven't already.

May 16, 2004

I didn't care for friends,

I haven't watched Frasier in ages, but this, this just makes me sad. The Practice has it's series finale tonight.
I have watched this show from day one and loved it. It made you think, laugh, cry. It had excitement and tense moments.
I know that there is a spin-off coming this fall with James Spader (yes) but I will really miss Ellenor and Eugene and Jimmy.

May 12, 2004

Ok I need your help.

My OCD is in overdrive and if I don't figure out the name to this show, I will go crazy. I can't help it. I know it sounds nutso but it's just driving me nuts and has been since watching General Hospital this afternoon.
Ok.
The girl who plays Carly is named Tamara Braun. But I swear she was on a kids show as like a superhero kind of thing like power rangers in the early 90's.
Just like power rangers but there were only 3 of them. Two guys and a girl and they had like antenna on their heads and shit like that.
Help me here people.
I am going crazy. If Tamara isn't the girl from that kids show, the girl who was on that show was on GH at some point because I remember seeing her.
Nevermind.
I figured it out. It was VR Troopers and the girls name was Sarah Brown who did star on GH.
I can go do something else now.
Phew.
Oh, and I was wrong. The 3 with the antenna on their heads, that was big bad beetleborgs which aired around the same times as Power Rangers and Vr Troopers.
I watched a lot of superhero shows, no wonder I'm confused...lol

May 11, 2004

Why do we have tv shows about tv shows ending?

I don't understand why we have to have a special explaining that the show is ending and all that blah blah blah.
Just let it fucking go already.
Geez.

May 03, 2004

I love disaster movies.

So 10.5 is kinda cheesy but it's kinda cool too.
They always say the big one is coming.
Wouldn't it suck if it was like what they are showing on this movie?
Gah.
I'll take hurricanes thanks.

May 01, 2004

Cool. Cartoons are on this early.

I really hate it when I can't sleep but at least they start saturday morning cartoons at the butt crack of dawn. Yay! for Poochini

So Tom Wopat is at the

Van Wezel doing a performance of Chicago.
And darn, me without a dime to my name for a ticket.

He was doing an interview at the hokey tv station, the one where the female newscaster announced live, on air a few months ago that she needed to pee. Like 5 times. They make hokey jokes. They are just so unprofessional, it's hard to take them serious as a news team.
So I was flipping through, I see Tom Wopat and stop.
It's not like I like him, it's more of a knee jerk reaction.
Oh! Stop! It's a Duke boy.
Yeah, I watched that show. Whatcha gonna make of it?
So he says to the male newscaster (thank god they didn't let the lady do it) what a beautiful setup they have here and the studio and the city is just gorgeous.
Which it is.
Sarasota is just beautiful.
And the newscaster just goes "uh-huh".
I hate them.
Where the fuck did they find these people who work there?
They laugh all the time about stupid jokes and say pee and now uh-huh.
Idiots.

Dear Days of our lives writers,

I have been watching your show off and on since about 1979 or so. My grandmother used to watch the show and I would watch with her.
I have stuck by you faithfully for many years even in some of the most lamest plot lines.
But I will be leaving you now.
I simply cannot sit here and watch this drivel any longer.
Marlena has been in love/married/divorced possibly more times than Susan Luccis Erica Kane character.
She has been possessed by demons and all kinds of crap and now, now she is a serial killer and a really shitty one at that. Or maybe everyone else in town is as dumb as a box of rocks.
Or maybe you think your viewers are.
You are killing off all of the good people. The staples of the show.
The people who made your show what it is and have been good, strong characters.
You chose not to renew contracts and kill everyone off.
You are leaving us with the boring, bland acting skills of Hope who has been killed, raped, married, divorced, evil twinned to death and is so fucking over the top, I want to put my fist through the screen and beat her head against the pavement. Belle is so goody goody and dumb, that I want to hurt her. Her character is how old and she acts like that? Puhlease!
Please kill off John. He was never sexy. He was never good looking. He was just icky and reminded me of a porno star with his big sloppy, overdone kisses. Eww.
Actually, I don't care what you do with John or any of the crappy actors/actresses you have on there now.
I'm serious, I'm leaving you.
You have ruined the once great show of DOOL.
It's cheesy, campy, crappy, shitty and you must think that the fans are going to stick around forever.
No, sorry, we are dropping off faster than Dr. Marlena could kill Tony Dimera.
We have had it with bad plot lines and the amount of screen time you give Deidre Hall.
You brought Jack back and then killed him.
What the hell were you thinking?
You certainly weren't thinking about your viewers.
I'm finished.
Sincerely,
Victor Kiriakis's biggest fan.
Yeah, you killed him too you, you Bastards!

Brr-rrrriiiing yip yip yip yip

Sesame Street is 35 years old.
It's hard to believe isn't it?
That show has been around since I was born and I find it just amazing that it keeps going and going when so many other children's shows disappear over time.
I loved Sesame Street. I still do.
Whenever I have babysat for friends with small kids or heck, even some days when there is nothing but crap on, I'll tune in to Sesame Street and just remember all the fun and magic of being a kid.
It's just such a wonderful show. Bright colors, catchy songs that actually teach something rather than just be annoying (Miss Mary Mack, if I never hear that song again it will be too soon) and get kids excited and learning.
Sebastian knew how to read the words pull and a few others thanks to that show.
When he entered kindergarten, he saw the words pull and did just that.
To the fire alarm and was suspended for 3 days because he caused a panic.
I understand the thinking of that but they put the alarms at eye level to 5 year olds in the kindergarten classrooms and while the other kids said dog, cat, spot, Sebastian was reading and doing and got himself suspended and it's all thanks to Sesame Street.
Just kidding, it's not the shows fault.
I actually found the whole thing funny and he and I spent 3 glorious days at home watching movies and the street.
My boss at the time laughed her ass off over suspending a 5 year old and told me to just take the days. I had 2 days off that week anyway, she just gave me another one. Not a big loss.

All the spanish I know, I learned from Sesame Street. Uno, dos, trés,cuatro,cinco,séis...
Now, where I live, I should really know more.
For instance, just this morning at the still sleeping in because we are on spring break hour of 7am, someone who spoke spanish called my house.
Mumbled off something in espanol and I asked him if he spoke english. He mumbled something again. I asked again. Do you speak english?
He said no, the first word I understood. So I said, no speak english, no can help you. Click.
Sure, maybe it's a little mean but uh, dude, how you gonna get a job no speaka no english?
Oh, wait, you probably have a job not speaking english because the places can pay you minimum wage and you won't argue about it will ya?
For all I know, he needed to call a doctor or some shit.
But really, I can't help him if he doesn't speak the language I speak.
My kids might have been able to help him cuz learning spanish is mandatory here due to the massive explosion of hispanics here but I wasn't about to wake them up to do that.
The longer they sleep in, the less time they will have today to get angry at each other, tell me how bored they are even though they have a N64 and a PS2 and movies and board games and a pool right up the street.
No, no, I let them sleep and then I think I will find some more work for them to do around here.
Idle hands are the devils playground.
Idle hands tend to annoy brothers with a flick to the ear and then a run away and then a charlie horse to the thigh and then it's an all out war.
No thanks.
Sleep little angels.
Get rested so you can work later.
Wait, what the hell was I talking about?
Oh yeah, Sesame Street.
On April 4th, that's this sunday, check your local PBS listings for the 35th anniversary special.

It's Oscar night.

That is what I am doing.
Just finished watching The Missing right in time to see Billy Crystal do the opening number.
The movie was ok. Not great but ok.
Had some tense moments.

So I am bored sitting and watching the Oscars already.
I don't even know why I watch it.
Do you?
I mean, yeah, we will get to see if LOTR takes it finally but other than that, why do we watch this?
Later days.

I have been watching

Third Watch since it began and it is one of my favorite shows.
Tonights was incredible.
I knew it was coming.
You could tell Doc was a little off and I thought perhaps he would harm himself after last weeks party. Giving stuff away, making amends.
I didn't see a 'postal' situation at all.
His character will be missed.
