Hello, Television!

Today I took my broken DVR to the Comcast place and traded it in. I have no idea why I didn't do this a long time ago. So, I spent part of the afternoon setting the new one to record all of the up and coming shows. "The Office", "Dancing With the Stars", "Top Chef", and yes, even "Survivor: China". I'm pretty sure there is TONS of other stuff I want to record.

I finally finished up all of my reviews today. I technically only had one left, but I had to get them all proofed and printed out and stuff. There are a couple more things I want to do before I leave this store, but at least now I can cross this off my list!

I also got a new phone today. Well, really I ordered a new phone today. It's pink and I really really wanted it. Plus, it was free when I renewed my contract, so there ya go. I had to get a better texting plan since apparently I'm a texting fiend now. I was only allowed 100 messages, and that just WASN'T enough!

I wanted to get my closet cleaned out today, but that didn't happen. At least I got SOME things accomplished!

"The Pick Up Artist"

Has anyone besides me and Jennifer seen this show? There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this show, and it is NOT helping ANYONE! I just saw a preview of the next episode, and this Mystery guy (whatever!) gets the boys to make out with a peach. An actual peach. He's trying to teach them how to make out or something. It made me think of that episode of Sex & The City when Charlotte starts to date the guy who loves to give head. You remember, the scene where he basically demonstrates his "abilities" on a mango. It was icky then, and it's icky now. The only difference is that Sex & The City was funny.

I can't even laugh at this show any more. It's sad there are men out there who are THAT scared of women. Of course I'm sure these guys are all womanizers in their own right, so maybe they deserve the humiliation of being forced to kiss fruit and be degraded by men who wear more makeup than Brett Michaels.

Something else I can't understand...What's up with Mystery's "Wingmen"??? Now THAT'S a sucky job! It reminds me of the different cliques in high school, where a select few hung out with the popular kid. It was a pleasure just to be associated with THAT KID, I guess. To me, it just screams "I'm too insecure to go out on my own and meet my own women. I'd rather hang with you and take the ones you're not interested in."

You know what show I'd like to see? I want to see one of these "wingmen" rise up and tell that eyeliner wearing Mystery that he can get his own women, thank you very much, and he doesn't need to learn sleazy pick up lines to get laid.

Note to boys who are genuinely scared to talk to girls: Dude, just BE YOURSELF! If she's not into you, then move on! There are plenty of single girls out there (like myself) who are LOOKING for a REAL GUY. And please stay away from the makeup and the peaches.

Now, if you'll excuse me, the next episode of "Rock of Love" is on. :)

Well, It's No "Puttin' On the Hits"!

So, I'm sitting on my couch, TRYING to write yearly reviews for work, and I've been distracted for the past hour by this show called "The Singing Bee". I've watched a show and a half so far, and I'm mesmerized. They are showing re-runs on Bravo right now.

This show is hosted by Joey Fatone, and basically it's people getting on stage and singing lyrics from songs for money. Big money! Like, $50,000!

Here's a little clip:



Of course it's kinda like watching a train wreck in progress. It's pretty funny, in an awkward sort of way.

I think a new one comes on tonight on NBC.

Yippie! Something else to distract me from review writing!

Flipping Out!

I know that you guys gave this show a go and it didn't work out. But please, for the love of all that is holy, GIVE THIS SHOW ANOTHER TRY! It's not that it's really a GOOD show, but this guy is fucking insane! There are just no words to describe him!

However, I've also been watching "Rock of Love" and "Man-band" on VH1, so maybe my taste is slightly skewed. :)

One of My Favorite "Coupling" Moments...

This time, for Ken...

Just a teaser...

Flipping Out

Okay, right now I'm watching the new Bravo show "Flipping Out". It's about this guy who renovates houses and stuff (from what I gather), and the people who work for him.

This guy is NUTSO!

Damn.

You know, I had hoped to go the rest of my life as a Posh and Becks hater. Well, maybe not so much as a "hater".

"Idon'tgiveashitaboutthosepeoplebutbygodhe'sreallyhotandsomeoneneedstogiveherasandwich-er" is more like it.

Tonight, this ALL changed.

I watched part of the new Victoria Beckham reality show on Bravo, and once again, Bravo came through for me! So far, I. Heart. Victoria. Beckham. And I love her hair!! At the risk of sounding like all the twenty-something chicks on the Dear Life, blog, I think I have a total girl-crush on Posh.

You know, I haven't watched a single Bravo Reality show that I didn't like on some level. I mean, even way back to "Blow Out".

Yay Bravo! Yay Victoria! Yay England! Yay asymetrical haircuts! Yay Hot Husbands!

I'll Have What She's Having

"Exhaustion" my ass. Paula Abdul should lay off whatever she's on.

I just finished watching the first episode of "Hey Paula", the new show on Bravo. It made me so uncomfortable I almost had to partially shield my vision. Partially. Almost.

Oh Paula. I'm just at a loss for words.

Saddest. Kathy. Griffin. Ever.

Any show that begins or ends with "In Loving Memory of..." is gonna be a tear-jerker.

Watch at your own risk.

Obviously, I'm Cooler Than Jennifer.

So, Jennifer left me a comment regarding Corbin Bleu. Basically, the comment read something like "I am much, much cooler than you, Tiffanie. I watch the hip, new shows. I introduced you to the joys of the mani/pedi. I knew about The Rock's impending d-i-v-o-r-c-e before you did. I was the first to see Brit-Brit's coochie (online, that is)! I AM POP CULTURE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!! So, the fact that you know who this Corbin Bleu person is and I don't really disturbs me."

OMG I can't believe I know some sort of pop-culture related crap that Jennifer is unaware of! Sure, "Corbin Bleu fucking ROCKS!" isn't something that I necessarily want to scream at the top of my lungs in a crowded building, but still...

Okay, okay...for those who DON'T know, Corbin Bleu is this guy who was in "High School Musical". And he's very popular with the the Disney crowd. And was in a double-dutch-jump-roping movie called "Jump In." And he has an afro.

So, there ya go. Now you know what I know. Oh! And his song, "Deal With It" is awesome although it sounds like some other song I know.

All of a sudden I don't feel as cool anymore.

Corbin Bleu : home

Sigh.

The following conversation JUST happened:

Me: "Hey, Stephen, you remember that Disney thing we watched last night with Corbin Bleu on it?"

Stephen: "Yeah."

Me: "What was that song called?"

Stephen: "'Deal With It'"

Me: "I love that song."

Stephen: "Me too."

Stephen is 9 years old. I'm 36.

So, I just downloaded my first Corbin Bleu song. Don't even get me started on Hannah Montana.

But Does She Dance With A Cartoon Tiger In This One?

OMG I can't wait until the new Paula Abdul reality show starts on Bravo. I mean, can you say train wreck?? Of course, I'm not expecting "Being Bobby Brown" levels of reality greatness, but I'm so looking forward to this show! I'm thinking that somewhere in the first episode she'll break down and complain that it's "not easy being Paula Abdul." Hope she doesn't make Whitney angry. Well, Paula....two steps forward, two steps back.
