LIFE is Good

OMG. I am so in love with Life right now. It's my appointment television for Wednesday nights. Lost is still on my radar but I watch that whenever now. I still haven't even watched last week's episode yet. I'll get to it tomorrow. Maybe I'll even write about it. First, let me clue you in to what I find one of the most refreshing hours on television every week. I'm going to admit that one of my favorite parts of the show is the music. It's awesome. It's not the hip indie song of the week like they play over the end of every episode of Grey's Anatomy. It's inspired. Of course every now and then a show will play a song you either love or will start to love, but this show pulls some of my favorites regularly. I think I want to be best friends with the music supervisor Tricia Halloran. If you're out there please get in touch with me...I believe we'd hit it off.

The cast is entertaining and I'm actually involved in the story line. It makes me wonder if it's actually going to survive the cuts at the end of the season. With Jay Leno coming on at 10pm every night there's not that much room left for actual television. I don't care for Jay Leno and having him on an hour and a half earlier isn't going to make me like him any more. I hope it makes the cut. I honestly watch a lot of NBC, I watch it Sunday through Friday but something tells me Jay is going to put the network in a tailspin. Who's going to want to watch him 5 nights a week? Remember when Regis did Millionaire all the time? It got old, and Jay is nowhere near as funny as Letterman...I only watch him to catch his guests and Ross the Intern. I can actually tune in to Letterman and be entertained by his banter. Basically, Jay sucks but Life rules. Watch it before Jay runs the network into the ground.

A Hot Piece

DUDE! Stringer Bell just walked into The Office! I love this man. Seriously folks. I love him. He makes me happy. I hope he's a recurring character. I could watch this man read the phone book, he's jut that good. I was a die hard fan of The Wire and was crushed when he bit the dust. There's really nothing else I'd like to add to this so I'm just going to leave it at that. I could look at this picture for hours...maybe you could too.

Idol Top 13

Susan and I wrote each other back and forth for the entire two hours of last nights top 13. In lieu of commentary solely by me, I've decided to include our conversation in its entirety. Lucky you.

Susan: Whoa wait til you see Paula tonight. She talks like she is on crack.
Me: What's with the bird on her neck?
S: She's Channeling bjork minus the artsiness. It's so great they're doing MJ. They're all gonna massacre his songs.
M: Probably but maybe Anoop will surprise us.
S: Maybe. I didn't really like lil rounds' version. I guess I'm more honest than the judges.
M: True. I agree with Simon though. I hate what she's wearing too.
M: Paula's had some work done on her eyes. I'm convinced that's what's different about her.
S: This Kris Allen is cute but I hated when he sang man in the mirror. John Mayer better watch out. God I hate John Mayer.
M: Haha. This is my favorite song from Dangerous! He can never replace Michael.
S: I just though he sucked during that week. Girls are gonna be mad that he's married to that blondie.
M: Whatevs. People can get divorced. That's what they're all thinking.
M: Did you see his wife's face after Simon said he should have kept his wife hidden? Classic.
S: Dude Simon just said something about the wife and she was pissed. Alison should win this whole thing.
M: We're on the same wavelength...awesome. She should win. So don't forget to vote.
S: Well he's totally right. Don't these contestants know who votes? Simon is just giving strategic advice.
S: Omg. If you're gonna do a classic like Beat It, you either do it totally different or don't do it at all.
M: Well, I suppose Anoop is out.
S: He sucked ass before he even began singing. don't these people have brains or advisers?
M: They have stylists for the clothes but i guess not for anything else.
S: You know everyone during rehearsals was telling him it was a good idea and then making fun of him two minutes later.
M: You are so mean. I actually didn't think it was so bad.
S: He was awful. How dare he even try to sing Beat It! is he gonna do thriller next week? How about Bad?
M: Wait, I wasn't talking about Anoop anymore, he wasn't great but I was saying Jorge wasn't so bad.
S: This Megan girl is gorgeous. Simon like her because of that. I hope she's good.
M: I don't love what she's wearing. She seems so happy. Why?
S: She's probably high. Her brother just turned 21. She never dresses well. That song was so bad.
M: You summed her up perfectly.
S: I love this guy because he's like Liza Minelli meets Fallout Boy. just so funny. He sings every song the same.
M: Haha. Liza and Fall out Boy. True. Aww, Simon's gonna make him cry.
S: Paula is having an attack. I love that song. I danced to it in 6th grade. I'm surprised Simon loved it though.
M: He had to pick something to all out love tonight. I still remember watching the video premiere while we were eating dinner. We all stopped moving.
S: Haha. Totally. I mean Macaulay Culkin was in it. Those were the glory days of music videos.
M: How are they going to get through two people in 12 minutes?
S: It'll be a duet. Haha. No idea. This Matt guy is the really poor man's JT. And JT is a poor man's MJ.
M: Seriously. But I like him. Likability goes a long way with me. Plus he's not ruining the song. Couldn't the world use another JT?
S:Yeah he's good just really nervous. And just not good looking enough but he can't help it, I guess. I'm still pissed about Anoop.
M: You know I hear they couldn't use the regular #'s with 13 at the end because it's a sex line. I'd be pissed if I was 12, especially if I was cut.
S: Yeah that sucks. I do love the song Matt just sang. I'm gonna have to dig out my MJ cds after this.
M: Do half the people have kids?
M: Ok. Who are we voting for? I'm voting for Danny and Allison and possibly Kris cause he's cute.
S: Yeah. It's for pity votes. I will vote for Danny, Alison, Matt, Adam and Alexis. Is that too much?
M: Nah, I was gonna vote for baby JT and someone else who's name I've already forgotten.
S: Haha. Well I got all my votes through except Danny. He was number 3 right?
M: Yep. Yay, we voted. Now who do you think is going to get kicked off? I pick Anoop and either Megan or Alexis with a small chance of Lil.
S: I Liked Alexis. I say Anoop and hopefully Megan or Jasmine. Why oh why am I now addicted to this show?
M: Because it's awesome and we have the power to kick people off. Sometimes I wish we voted for who we wanted kicked off. That would be sweet.
S: Yeah I know. That would be more American.

What. The. Hell

DISCLAIMER: I wrote the first two paragraphs last Tuesday afternoon the day after the finale of The Bachelor...everything else I wrote today. I will be a good blogger this week. I'm going to blog everyday. Too little too late perhaps but whatever, I'm going to try.

I haven't blogged in ages and on top of that I think the last time I blogged about The Bachelor was the second or third episode. Quick thoughts on episodes past. For the longest time I did not remember that Jillian was the hot dog girl. I seriously didn't. Plus I also couldn't remember anything else about her nor cared enough to do any research to find out. That's really all I wanted to share. Now on to last nights $#!!-storm of a 3 hour couch tour. I cannot believe I sat there and watched all that crap last night.

I watched the finale but didn't start watching it at 8, I was finishing up a rewatch of Far From Heaven. I hadn't seen it in ages and for some reason it just seemed like a good idea to watch it again. It was and Julianne Moore is sublime. So, I started around 8:30, I watched it from the beginning thanks to my DVR and since I started late I got to fast forward through all the lame commercials. Score. What happened next was so weird but I didn't catch my mistake until the commercial break. The Finale ended and my TV went straight from Melissa splashing around in the pool with Jason and Ty to Melissa in the back seat of the limo crying her eyes out about Jason dumping her. I watched for about 4 minutes and then the commercials came on. I pressed fast forward and my DVR said it was at the 10:30 mark. Whoops. When the finale finished my DVR went straight to the live airing of the after the rose special. Basically I stumbled in 25 minutes late. Not so much of a disaster because it all seemed to work out in my head. Oh well, I rewound and started from the beginning.

Everyone on the planet has already gone into depth about the douchiness of what Jason did to Melissa so I don't really want to get into it. It pissed me off and after a week to cool off while it still does I'm going to let it go. Jason proved to me that no matter how sweet and caring and loving a guy may be he's still going to be a total ass at some point. He ruined my faith that somewhere out there good guys still exist. He said on Jimmy Kimmel last week that he was kind of obligated to put it all out there on TV but damn, I would have found a way around it. Melissa is coming off well and last night's Dancing with the Stars only helped. She looked good and could possibly be there through the end.

Molly though, the only thing I could think when they brought her out to be re-wooed by Jason was...Molly you in danger girl. She bought into it though. She fell for him all over again. Totally fine, I just wish they hadn't kissed on the couch 10 minutes after he told her he kicked Melissa to the curb. Shame on you Molly, c'mon, not just yet. This is all last weeks news though so I'm going to end it here. But wait, Jillian was picked as the new Bachelorette so I'll be back in May when it premieres because I'm for sure going to blogging about that. Definitely.
