It's the end of the world as we know it...

It's TV blog time! Here's what we'll be discussing for this installment...

The Amazing Race
ANTM
Grey's Anatomy
LOST
Hell's Kitchen

The Amazing Race
My heart certainly went out to Margie and Luke who had an amazing head start on the last leg of the race. Luke got so frustrated and that slowed him down to the point that they came in third! :( Oh well, I was glad Cara and Jamie didn't win because of how arrogant and condescending they could be while in cabs, in airports, or just in the streets. I didn't mind that Tammy and Victor won, they were a good team from the beginning.

ANTM
Every season I always know who's going to win based on who is Tyra's favorite... it doesn't matter who's most improved or who worked it out. Tyra had a problem with Allison from the start and cut her down for always looking the same, then because she wasn't a good walker, then because she was shy... it just went on and on. Maybe it's better though because now Allison can go out and do her thang without being represented by Trya's company.

Grey's Anatomy
SIGH ... Well I didn't see THAT one coming! For those of you who haven't seen it and have avoided news articles and people talking about it, read no further and go watch!!

... everyone still with me? Good. I, personally, think that Izzy and George are both going to make it. There have been RUMORS of both actors leaving the show but there isn't really any evidence that they will for sure. Katherine is much happier with her story line this season and has said she wants to stay. We shall see!

LOST
OMG... that's all I have to say.

Hell's Kitchen
I was routing for Paula in the end but you know what... it was down to 2 really great chefs and I'm glad that for once I liked both of the finalists. I kinda want to go to the Borgada now... anyone want to come with??

Anyone going to watch the Bachlorette? I'm still deciding.

Alright, my next post will be a real post... promise!

Rewinds and Reruns

Things here in the Mile High City are going good... good enough anyway. Things keep rolling along as they always do. All you can do is roll along with it and hope for the best. April means 2 things... Amy's birthday and taxes. Amy's birthday is tomorrow and I hope, for once, she has a good one. Amy has a perpetual streak of having a bad birthday on the actual day of her birthday but good celebrations for her birthday on other days. I hope tomorrow is wonderful and breaks the bad streak!

Taxes, on the other hand, are always bad and this year sucks more than normal because, you see, my dad's accountant does my taxes (they are a little complicated actually) but the accountant had to go to the hospital last week because of heart problems so there was a delay in getting them done!! Therefore my dad is UPSing me my taxes over night. I have to get them all signed, checks written, and in the mail tomorrow!! I DO NOT want to have to deal with other last minute tax doers at the post office... I don't like going to the post office on a normal day let alone the busiest day of the year!! That's why I want to get them out tomorrow as opposed to waiting until Wednesday, the actual deadline.

Work is going alright. Our team is actually almost completely done with our region and as we finish up we will be sent to other regions to help them finish. I was asked if I would be interested in going to Wyoming to help there because they don't have enough people! It's still tentative but I would love to go just for a change of scenery for a little while. Besides, I've never been to Wyoming!

Well, as most people know, I LOVE reality TV so here is my take on my favorites this season as we grow closer to the end of many of them...

Celebrity Apprentice- By far one of the weirdest things I've ever seen was Joan Rivers getting mad... she looks exactly the same as when she is happy except she narrows her eyes a little bit. I'm glad Brian was gone; let's face it, he was just plain boring. I'm rooting for Jesse James because, unlike Peirce (last season's winner), he's not a complete douche but is super good at what he does.

Amazing Race- Still in love with Margie and Luke. Looks like some serious drama is going down next week with them so that'll be interesting. I was really pissed the midgets didn't get eliminated this week, they bug the hell out of me.

America's Next Top Model- Allison better thank her lucky stars she looks like a Madame Alexander doll because that's all that's saving her from going home. I think she's fabulous and am rooting for her to go all the way but wake up girl and give us a smile or something!

Hell's Kitchen- Now that they are down to the final 5 I am rooting for Robert. I hate Ben, Paula is boring, Andrea's a bitch, and Danny just doesn't do it for me (he is, however, my second choice). Honestly though, I've never seen a shittier season as far as service goes so it's been a bit painful to watch.

Survivor- I only have one thing to say now that the merge has come and gone-- If you don't kick Coach off soon I'm going to start banging my head on the floor everytime he comes on the screen!

So there's my reality catch up but seriously, if I only had to pick one show to watch a week it would be LOST. I love that show!! I know it's either a love it or hate it show and I used to be the former beleive it or not! ABC put all the seasons online for free so over the summer, when everything was between seasons, I started watching it from the very first episode and was hooked! For those of you who watch, can you beleive that origionally Ben Linus was only supposed to be a minor character on the show for a few weeks?! The response was so good that they turned him into arguably the most important character in the show!!

Alright, I suppose that's enough for now.

~HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!~

Thank God For TV

It's been a while since I posted, so sue me... do you really want to read about my boring life anyway? Apparently so! I've been going to the gym, looking for a job, and making sure I don't miss ANY reality TV.

So here's what I've been watching lately since they put everything online now I don't have to miss anything...

Celebrity Apprentice- I'm SO glad they finally put it back on! I love the Donald and I love watching has been stars argue with each other about anything and everything!! I was actually really sad that Scott Hamilton got kicked off last week... he was so adorable!
Amazing Race- I love Margie and Luke! They are so nice but so competitive and I like that even though they are a mother/son team they get along so well (oh yeah, and if you don't watch, Luke's the first deaf competator). I know people were pissed that they used the blind Uturn, but it's a competition people, they don't put it there NOT to be used. I was getting nervous when Luke couldn't figure out that the letters spelled Checkhov, but he guessed it right finally and they weren't eliminated.
America's Next Top Model- Yeah, I know... but it's like a car accident, even if you don't want to look there's something oddly facinating about it. I don't know exactly who I'm pulling for yet, it's too early to tell but this week is the makeover episode so that should be fun (in the previews someone is throwing a fit!) It's a guilty pleasure, my bad.

Hells Kitchen- People screaming, crying and swearing... how does it get any better than that?? Add food! I love cooking and although this show does very little to increase your desire to cook ever again for fear of being yelled at, I do like the reward challenges because I think they really are meant to make them better, smarter cooks. The yelling? that's just to see them cry :) We are getting deeper into the season and I've yet to pick a real favorite. I'm rooting for LA until someone else proves their worth.

Survivor- It's an old classic. Not that I don't like the new stuff but Survivor has staying power and was the original. It's like, I love the new Disney movies but watching Alladin always gives you a warm nastalgic feeling inside. I love the secret cross tribe alliance they have going on but I have a feeling it's about to get discovered. I am rooting for Taj all the way becuase she is chill and I like her personality. The next to go? I hope it's Coach, he's a douche.

On top of all the reality shows I watch, I also watch Grey's Anatomy, LOST, Lie to Me, and House on a regular basis. There are some other reality shows I watch on a less regular basis like Super Nanny, Homeland Security USA and Extreme Home Makeover. I know it SOUNDS like a lot, but when you're unemployed... you don't have time to not have time.

I AM looking for a job you naysayers, but it's literally impossible to look for a job 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I applied for 8 jobs today and watched 3 TV shows... not to mention that I got up later than normal, went to the gym and also ate 2 meals. SEE... it's hard not to try and fill your time with something!!

Completely changing topics, my birthday was Sunday and we (me, Giggles, Mr. Giggles, Bear, and MattyK) all went to Sing Sing and had a great time getting drunk and celebrating. I will post pictures soon, promise, I just hate the process it takes to get the pictures on my computer.

I know I know... but I'm not doing it becuase I'm lazy, not becuase I don't have the time :) Until next time... peace!
