more tv to watch...

i've been watching the new show Homeland on showtime for 3 wks now & i must say that it's a really good show.  they started showing previews during the big brother after dark shows & i wasn't too intrigued but they pimped it out sooooo much i thought it was at least worth watching the first show to see if it's good or not.  omg was i surprised at how good it was.  this is definitely a show to be watching.  i love claire danes & she has come a long way in her acting skills.  did i mention she was temple grandin?  you have to watch if you haven't already, temple grandin that is!!  anywho, Homeland is about a war veteran found in search of the bad guys in afghanistan or where ever they are looking & he is a pow.  well, carrie (claire danes) is very suspicious from minute one & does some pretty shady stuff to keep an eye on him.  that's about all i'm going to say but i did want to mention that they are doing a marathon of the first 3 (all the ones i've watched) episodes on saturday at 8 central time.  SO PEEPS, LISTEN UP!!!  IF YOU HAVE SHOWTIME SET THAT LITTLE DVR OF YOURS OR MAKE A MENTAL NOTE TO WATCH LIVE!!!  you will not regret losing 3hrs of your life like so many other junky shows out there.  then on sunday you can watch the 4th episode & be completely caught up & we can chat about it.  :o)

here is the link to the showtime Homeland page if you want to find out more about it.  so many questions, i can't wait till sunday again.  :)

can't wait to watch this again next week....

last night was the pilot episode of american horror story on fx.  when they first started showing previews to the show i was like, what the hell!  then they started showing better previews & i couldn't wait to watch.  i was skeptical that it would be cheesy but with creators behind glee (not a fan) & nip/tuck (super fan) i was hoping for greatness!  i was right but it's not for everyone!  if you are a horror fan & you don't mind seeing man-ass you will love the show.  it's really weird & i'm not for sure, other than the family, who is real & what the non-real people are.  let me just say on the whole man-ass comment, if you love Dylan McDermott, you should watch, he shows his ass at least 2-3x during the pilot.  he's not my cup of tea, he really needs a tan.

here's the first few minutes of the show...

any new shows you are a huge fan of?  i'm loving new girl, it's such a refreshing comedy.  i love zooey d. (not for sure how to spell her name but she was in my fave xmas movie, elf)

hopefully i will have an fof tomorrow.  i have been slacking on the crochet updates!  :(  but i have started on hopp's poncho. 



this is round 4, i think i got all the way to round 6 before i ran out of yarn, going to use my 50% off michaels coupon tomorrow!  :)

i'm hoping to have this done by this weekend.  we are having her party next friday, can't wait, i have lots of plans...

we watched a brand new show :)

we have been seeing the previews to Ridiculousness for quite some time & if you are a fan of Rob & Big you know rob dyrdek, if you don't know rob he is a pro-skateboarder turned reality show funny man, he is also part owner/creator of the dc clothing/shoe line.  he is HILARIOUS!!!  i would love to spend just one day to hang out with him.  he keeps me in stitches, his personality is great!  let me just say before you see the trailer, i'm not a huge fan of watching people do stupid stuff so they can eventually get hurt & i'm not a huge-huge fan of when they actually hurt themselves but rob does his thang & makes this shit super funny!!!  so watch the clip & set your dvr to catch this super funny show!

oh, i forgot to say that i have not laughed this hard in a while, seriously i was in tears i was laughing so hard!  it just started on monday so it is showing throughout the week on mtv & then the new shows will air on monday evenings.  go ahead, i dare you NOT to laugh!!!

UGH! why do i even care?!?

why do i let a show get to me?  i love reality shows but i really DISLIKE all the fake people & then you have the worst category of people ever on there... BULLIES!! 

i have been watching big brother (bb) & they just let one of the previous evicted peeps back to fight for a chance to get back in the house.  lawon is such a non-player & they voted him out but they should have made ugly-ass rachel get kicked to the curb!  do you remember how much i described you how much i dislike her?  anywho her man got kicked out of the house the previous one before lawon & he was picked by fans to come back!!!!  WHAT?!?  are you kidding me?  do you remember how much of a bully he was in telling people what they were going to do?  it would have been a better game had rachel been evicted & she had to fight for a chance to win against her man to see if she would have played or just let him win!  we don't need these two back in the house!!!  please tell me none of my friends (carissa & candi, i'm calling you out!) voted for him to come back!  i didn't vote but i thought for sure it would have been dominic coming back! 

again, why do i even care?  i may not watch anymore & just watch after dark on showtime, it's the bb version that is better anyway.  it's uncensored & they are more real on there. 

well here's to hoping the newbies actually band together & kick those 2 out of the house!!  :D 

what we watched last night

 our night started off with dinner (sausage/baked beans/corn on the cob & homemade gf bread) & some mtv's the challenge: rivals.  let me just say CT is a BEAST!!!  i'm really liking the show & i think the top contenders in this game are for the boys: CT & Adam and Kenny & Wes and then you have the newbie team of Leroy & Mike.  i think they will make it to the final challenge but i really think CT & Adam will take the win for the boys.  for the girls: i'm thinking Caramaria & Laurel and Paula & Evelyn are looking good.

then we watched insidious, the movie.  it was pretty good, it's a scary movie & it scared me in parts.  nothing like a good old fashioned, jump out at you, type of movie.  i did figure out a part of it but i was ok, with it because they did a pretty good job of the storyline.  however, i didn't like the ending, i don't like being left hanging.  i guess it's just a way to make a sequel.  i would say if you like scary movies then you need to see this.  :)

what do you have to say about hoarders?  it's a great show.  so sad these people live like this but luckily they are getting help with aftercare & seems as if a lot of the people carry on with the organizing that they are showed during the clean-up process.  if you haven't ever watched this show you must start watching, unless you are a neat freak & then you might end up with a nervous breakdown.  ;)

we also watch big brother.  i can hardly watch it & the only reason we watch is because we watch the better version of big brother...  big brother after dark on showtime.  i'm sorry but i really, really, really want to HURT rachel.  she is annoying as fuck & why is it when she is in the confession room or whatever they call it, she is YELLING?!?!?!?!!!!!  i don't get it.  she is the ONLY one that yells while taping her confessions.  oh and the drama she has going on.  the fake crying is super annoying too.  someone needs to just GROW UP!!!  she isn't even pretty, not that she would still be allowed to but at least if she was cute it could be a little tiny bit more tolerable!  ok, i will quit talking about her.  the show is ok, i do a lot of crocheting during the show & don't really look up too much so i have to get my updates from the man.  :)

the shirt explains it all!!!







what i watched this weekend

movies/documentaries we watched this weekend...

we watched Monica and David, it's a documentary of two downs syndrome adults that get married.  now, not every downs couple could do this because some are not at the mental capacity of these two or the family support either.  sometimes i feel for them because the mom is a little overprotective of monica that they don't get much freedom.  i think, that if they have the money i think they do, they should hire a part time person that can take them places & do things with them.  this story is so sweet & they are so cute together.  this is definitely a MUST SEE!!!  it was weird, one day i came home for lunch & this just happened to be on during the middle of it & the only 2-5 minutes that i watched of it, i knew i had to watch it so i recorded it & finally got to watch it.

i'm really like documentaries as you can see, this is the second one i watched on saturday.  jess & curtis, the new bf, watched this one with me as jason had already watched it & i happened to catch the last little bit with him.  it was so heartbreaking i knew i needed to watch it from the beginning.  it's call Man vs Ford, it's about the dumpings in this town that ford did back in the 60s & 70s that caused all the kids/adults & future kids in that town to have major medical issues.  i can't say much more because i don't want to give anything away but i just want to say ford should be ashamed of themselves & i don't think i will EVER buy a vehicle from them EVER!!!  this is another MUST SEE!  so check your dvr schedules & add them if you haven't seen them already. i think hbo is showing both of them.

omg, now that i just went & looked at the mvf, not to be mistaken with man v. food, trailer i'm outraged!


we also watched our usual tb on sunday & then we watched Entourage.  this is a great show but it's the final series so unless you have invested time in the show i wouldn't watch it unless you watch from season 1 (on dvd) & then you should watch it.  :)  it really is a great show & i'm going to miss watching the gang, it was a little dark last season with vince going into a downward drug spiral but i think this season is going to be lighter & funnier.  can't wait till sunday to watch the next show.

the sandwich king, jeff

we also watched next food network star & i'm guessing Vic Vegas, "mama's boy", is going to win it this year or maybe jeff the "sandwich king" guy.

vic vegas

stuff i watch on tv

last night we watched some of our shows off the dvr & this is what we watched last night...



i wonder if he knows he's on fire??

Rescue Me, this is the last season ever!  so unless you have watched before i wouldn't start watching.  i haven't been too impressed with the last season or two, the first 2-3 seasons were awesome but now unless they really surprise me with the next couple of episodes, i'm bored with you!  but i still watch cause jason still likes it.  :)

masterchef, the guy on the left is a dick, the guy on the right needs bigger shirts!  just sayin' if you are a big person, i'm one too,  i don't care to see your heart beat through your shirt.  :]

next we watched MasterChef, i loooooove all things gordon ramsey!  he is pretty tame in this show, the real dick chef is the bald guy, i-don't-know-your-name-&-don't-care-who-you-are chef.  :)  he did get on this one guy's (christian) ass last night for he was being an ass & disrespectful to the other contestants.  christian thinks he's this bad ass chef & has this nasty ego about him.  i like when people are confident but not jackass arrogant!  anywho, it was funny.  :)  there are still 10 contestants left on the show so you can still catch on if you want to watch. 

"you DONKEY!!!"  ;)

 we then watched Hell's Kitchen, this is where the foul-mouthed gordon ramsey is at his best!  i love this show!  it just started last night & we have watched every season!  last night was the first night they went & visited the previous winner, probably because she stayed in la to work in his restaurant there.  you should watch if you aren't watching now.




 we then started watching Camelot, starz came out with this which is about, you guessed it, king arthur.  i'm not too impressed yet.  GOT was so much better in the first 10 minutes than this was in the first 2hr episode.  i'm hoping the rest of the season is better! 

see i told you i was a tv junkie, i love it!  nothin' better than a good couple of shows & some crochet to make my night complete.  :)  i love my dvr, on regular network shows it only takes 35-45 minutes to watch an entire episode!

stuff i watch on tv

luckily me, my hubby works for a satellite company as tech support, not so lucky for him because he hates being griped at all day because someone else's stupidity causes them to be rude to him.  a big majority of his calls are people that can barely turn on their tvs & because they can barely do that, they can't work their sat. box either.  :(  so remember the next time you call in for your satellite service the caller will be very appreciative if you are nice to them.  it's not their fault when the REAL PROBLEM is the satellite/cable service, they just are trying to help you get it going again.  :)  so anywho on that note, we get every channel you can think of!  we still have to pay for pay-per-view stuff but we get the nfl sunday ticket & any major sports ticket type thing for FREE!!!!  so the benefit out ways the shitty people anyday! 

ok, so this is what we have been watching on tv.  we watch most of our stuff on hbo, food network, A&E, history, discovery, mtv & some of the network channels. i'm sure there are other channels but i can't think of them right off hand.  i will remember more shows/movies as well & as i remember them i will talk about them.

first off, True Blood!  i'm a horror fan, i don't care how cheesy or gory it is i LOVE horror movies.  hubby does too & even my q watches them with us!  now we don't watch the nude ones with her, we mainly watch old school stuff with her.  so saying that true blood is out of the question, we don't even let jess watch with us when she is home, just not age appropriate.  i love true blood, vampires are so cool.  i think i would like to be one if they were real.  they are up all night & have that oh-so-cool swagger about them!  if you don't watch TB i highly suggest you vod, netflix or borrow the dvd series.  a friend of mine calls them hillbilly vampires but that's because i make fun of her twilight jacob fantasies.  ;)

next, the season is over but should be coming back sometime next spring, i can't wait, Game of Thrones, another hbo series.  hbo truely puts out GREAT shows!  i miss OZ, Six Feet Under & The Sopranos!  GOT is about medieval times, i'm not a fan of this time period really, but geez it got me from the first 10 minutes!  not many shows, that i'm not a fan of the genre, do.  but wow!  great storyline & you will not believe how the story ends at the last couple of episodes, truly shocking!  so go out & do the same with this one so we can chat about it next season.  :)

ok, i'll admit it, i'm a true reality show whore!  not just like the bachelor stuff like that, i like the super trashy stuff like Jersey Shore, coming back on soon, can't wait to watch!  i loved all the VH1 & MTV love shows with flava flav, bret michaels, new york & even frank's from the i love new york first season.  :)  i say they make me feel better about myself as a person.  these girls, even if they are coerced with alcohol & acting, are hilarious!  it's mindless entertainment i tell ya!  so now we are watching The Challenge on MTV where the old road rulers and current & old casts of real world team up & compete for money.  this year is super interesting because they have rivals teamed together in teams of 2 to see if they can put their bitter pasts aside & work together to win the ultimate goal of $50,000 or whatever it is.

there are so many other things on our dvr & as i watch them i will talk about them but this is what i can remember off-hand about what we are watching.

now for the movies i can remember

Prom Night in Mississippi is a documentary.  absolutely astonishing that people are STILL segregating themselves & their communities.  this is a story about a mississippi school that up until 2009, i believe, have separate proms.  it's a MUST SEE!

i've also talked about on fb & am before the Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia.  jaw dropping & entertaining!  you just have to watch, you will not believe the things they do & stuff they get away with.  you so want them to better themselves & root for them but sometimes things never change!  this is another MUST SEE!

i also just got through watching Cinema Verite, it's about the first reality tv family.  it's a little slow but it's still a good one to watch.  it's sad how the producer/director changes the views & the things he says about them when the show actually airs.

tonight we are going to watch Rango & Lincoln Lawyer so i will let you guys know what i think about them.  :)
