Marti and Frizbee Have An Unnatural Love...

This is my first YouTube video. This is the first time I have been able to catch this behavior on camera. I'll try to catch more of it in the future but, for now, enjoy!

Wassup?

I usually try to stay as clear of any political crap as I can because people don't play nice when it comes to politics and, I don't like to play with those who can't play nice. But, I liked this video. These are the "Wassup" guys 8 years later and, they happen to be pimping my candidate of choice so, here ya go! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! And if you don't, I am sorry but, I am as entitled to my opinion and to my vote as you are! God Bless America!

Has The Holy Spirit Entered These Cats or What?

Cat Antics and More Cat Antics...

Hmmm...where have I seen this behavior before? Could it be from my 3 silly cats? Perhaps!

He's Carrying The Entire Show...

His name is Bradford Anderson and he plays Spinelli on General Hospital. I remember watching GH with my Mom when I was younger and seeing it now and then growing up when I would have a day off from school or a sick day. Then, I watched it every other day in my dorm room in college on my soap day...we traded off every other day since my room mate and I each watched different soaps. Anyway, for what seems like longer than not, GH has become the Sonny Corinthos mob story and I have wavered between fast forwarding through most scenes to letting it play but barely paying attention to it. But there is one saving grace on this show. Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) is one of the only reasons that I still watch this show. Him and the fact that I feel like I have invested an hour a day of most of my life, 5 days a week, to watching it and to give it up feels like I would be walking out of a long term relationship without at least putting up a good fight to save it.

Bradford Anderson brings a lot of light, humor, and a breath of fresh air to an otherwise long since stale show. I all but ignore the entire show these days. I do other things while I am watching it. Sometimes I am cooking. Sometimes I am blogging. Sometimes I am even talking to my hubby. I even tinker on my computer. But, no matter what I am doing, whenever Spinelli has a scene, I will drop everything and pay attention. He's quirky and adorable and he carries every single character he is on the screen with. I can even tolerate Sonny Corinthos when Spinelli has a scene with him. As a matter of fact, I used to pretty much despise Jason Morgan as much as I despised Sonny Corinthos. That was until Spinelli came on the scene and now, I actually like Jason Morgan again.

There is really only one other character that I like on this entire show. I like Claudia Zaccarra as played by Sarah Brown. And, in the few scenes that she and Spinelli have had together, I was overjoyed. Frankly, I think they are the only 2 people in the entire cast that are keeping me interested. I do have other characters that I don't mind watching but, if they were to go bye-bye leaving only Spinelli and Claudia...General Hospital would finally be giving me a show worth watching.

So, here's the question...is one person capable of carrying an entire show? I guess so as one person is the only person who is keeping this girl from breaking up with a show I have watched nearly my entire life.

My Own Personal Heck...

I was watching "Samantha Who" the other night and Samantha provided me with visual imagery that gave me chills. She was set to go to Africa in an effort to better herself by giving to others but, she was stopped cold by the size of the needles needed for her shots and, she found out about the wildlife in Africa. In relating her reasons for deciding not to go to Africa, she started talking about the Scorpions. And, as if Scorpions aren't a little scary enough, she described them as "spiders with knives". Right...because I needed that imagery. I needed to picture the one thing that scares me most with sharp blades. Ahhhhhh! I hate spiders!

'I've Been Re-Hymentated'

Ok...not me! LOL! Dean on Supernatural has been re-hymenated. At least, he thinks so. Allow me to explain. In last week's episode of Supernatural titled "Monster Movie" he came to the conclusion that, after he was raised from Hell he was basically reborn. He doesn't have any of his old scars, aches or pains so, he figured that he is probably a virgin again. "My virginity is in tact. I've been rehymenated." I know! He cracks me up too! But, not to be out-shined...Sam retorts with, "Please. Dean maybe Angels can pull you out of Hell. But no one can do that." LOL!

And, as usual, the one-liners just kept on coming.

I'm going to back track a little bit here. "Monster Movie" was done in black and white. But modern black and white where everything has more detail without actually having any color. I wasn't sure what I would think about it. I was skeptical at first thinking that Kripke took things a little too far but, it didn't take long for me to get into it and to stop being distracted by the black and white and start enjoying the pure entertainment value of it. As usual, Kripke and crew did us right.

So, back to another favorite one-liner from this episode. Dean was being held captive by Dracula who was obsessed with old movies. So, of course Dracula dressed Dean up as Hansell from Hansell and Gretal. Sam finds Dean just in the nick of time, frees him, gives Dean "Elevator Eyes"...you know, up and down. And says, "Hey there Hansell." Ok..I don't do it justice. So, watch it and see for yourself!

I love this show! Everything and everyone is always so on cue! And, even the quirkier, potential Jump-the-Shark things seem to work somehow! That is true talent!

V Formation...

I just want to adopt them both.

It Pains Me To Say This...

But, I don't hate the new Britney Spears song "Womanizer". And, I don't even hate her new video for it either. What is the world coming to? Granted, I still think she sings through her nose more then through her lungs and vocal chords and, true to the typical Britney we all know and love to hate, it is trashy, slutty, trampy and, God help me...SEXY!

So, giving credit where credit is due...Well done Britney! You may just make a comeback after all. Furthermore, giving more credit where it is due...Good job Papa (Jamie) Spears for getting her head screwed back on straight and getting her back on track and on a better path. Keep her away from that wreck of a mother of hers and be the good Dad that she needs. Keep up the good work Daddy Spears!

Exercise Those Acting Chops...

Wow! So, last night's episode of CSI on CBS was number 1 in William Peterson's final 10 episodes as CSI Gil Grissom and he knocked it out of the park. The first few minutes had him devastated over the death of Warrick Brown and Peterson's acting tore my heart out last night. I am not the biggest fan of Gary Dourdan who played Warrick Brown, but, the grief that Peterson displayed towards Brown's death was nothing short of breath taking and heart wrenching and I felt that grief as well.

I have always adored Peterson as Gil Grissom. I love his quirkiness and wittiness. I love the way he is both soft at heart but gets the job done and leads his team with both fatherly and detached authority. I am not sure what the future of CSI will be once the heart of the show is gone. I can't promise to be loyal to the show once Gil Grissom is gone. I have read that he will be back on the show again in the future but, not in a permanent role...at least for now. But, that isn't enough. If the way he said good-bye to Brown (Dourdan) is a glimpse into what his exit will look like, I think I need to buy stock in Kleenex because I barely held it together during last night's episode.

I am not looking forward to 9 more episodes from now when I have to watch one of my favorite characters on TV ride off into the sunset. I feel almost like it is a slap in the face to be losing him.

Will I survive it? Will CSI survive it? Who knows? Certainly not me.

Going Too Far...

When we are kids, we plaster our walls with pictures of whatever celebrity we have devoted our young hearts to but, as we get older, our tastes change and we start to tear down those posters and go a little more minimal with our wall coverings. But, some adults are still prone to excess and fanaticism. As I was headed out of my subdivision this morning, I passed the adult version of fanaticism. In front of one of the houses was no less than 10 Presidential/Vice Presidential candidate signs. I am all for you supporting whomever you believe will make the best leader of our great country but, really? 10 signs? Is that necessary? Just one tells us who you will be voting for and what side of the fence you sit on. 10 tells us you are ridiculous. 10 signs in such a small surface area tells us you are tacky and probably a bit unreasonable. 10 signs tells us that we need to stay far away from you in any political conversation because you will likely be the person who starts yelling and who can't hold a civil conversation. 10 signs is very much like standing in your front yard and screaming your candidates' names at each car that drives by.

You are a big girl and boy now. Moderation is key.

All that being said, I have asked myself if I would be as offended and annoyed if the signs had my candidates' names on them. And, I have come to the conclusion that, yes, I would be as offended. In fact, I would be embarrassed because that many signs makes me think they and their party are pushy. I like to think of my side of the fence as a reasonable group of people. There is passionate support and then there is overbearing, in-your-face obnoxious support. Stop embarrassing yourself and your party by throwing it in everyones' faces.

I'll Do It But I'm Naked...

Sometimes a sentence is said that, when taken or heard out of context, can be quite amusing. And, sometimes, even taken in context, it can still be quite amusing.

So, here is one such sentence: "I'll do it but I'm naked."

Allow me to unravel this story.

The hubby and I were in our room. I was getting ready to take a shower and he was getting some stuff ready for tomorrow for work. The hubby had the TV on tuned to CBS and he noticed that their programming was running late...as usual. He said that we would have to reset our TiVo to record our programs for a little longer to make sure the end of the shows weren't cut off. I asked him if he had done that yet and he said he hadn't. I then said "I'll do it but I'm naked". To which he responded, "That's a good name for a show." Then I said, "Or a band".

So, after a good giggle about that conversation, Hubby said, "Why do I have a feeling I'll see this on your blog?" How could I resist that challenge?

Glad I Gave it a Shot...

I might have missed out on one of my new favorite shows of this fall season if I had gone along with my initial wavering of interest in this show. I am so glad I decided to just give it a shot. The Ex List on CBS (Fridays at 9) is outstanding. From hair-down-there jokes to trying to turn someone off in an effort to avoid a nasty breakup, The Ex List is witty, charming and hilarious. I can't believe I almost didn't tune in.

What is The Ex List about? I will gladly tell you. Bella takes her soon to be married sister to a psychic during her bachelorette party and ends up getting a reading herself. The Psychic tells her that she will be married inside of a year but, it won't be to a new relationship. Bella has already met and dated her future hubby. And, according to Bella, she has dated a lot of guys so, that list isn't at all a small task to get through. The Psychic also tells her that if she doesn't figure it out, she will never get married so, she must find that guy soon if she is to be married inside a year, or ever.

So far, her first potential future hubby was a disaster. He was a cry baby musician when they dated 7 years ago and she dumped him on his Birthday leaving him bitter. When she seeks him out, she is instantly attracted to his hot new look and attitude but, it isn't long after they consummate their new found re-love that he is back to his old cry baby, smothering ways. But, just as she is looking for a way to turn him off from her and get him to break up with her, she realizes how very much she likes him and how sweet he is. Until he turns the tables on her, embarrassing her publicly at his next singing gig, by singing a song about how he has had his revenge on her by getting her to adore him and now he is ditching her and she will always be alone.

I can't wait to see what's next. How much worse can her re-dating get?

SciFi Feels Like Home To Me

This season is the final season of Stargate Atlantis. I will miss it but, I am comforted by a new show that may just take its place in my heart. Sanctuary is fun, mysterious, supernatural and everything I love about the SciFi Channel. Amanda Tapping, from Stargate SG-1, plays Dr. Helen Magnus and she fits in the role like your tired feet in cozy slippers. And, let's not forget the rest of this magnificently hot cast. Robin Dunne plays the nerdy but sexy Dr. Will Zimmerman and Emilie Ullerup plays Ashley Magnus, Helen's freeze dried miracle daughter.

Dr. Helen Magnus is over 150 years old and has made herself a champion of the monsters in the world. She captures them, gives them a home in Sanctuary and both protects them from the rest of the world and the rest of the world from them. She has enlisted her daughter, Ashley, and Will as a part of her team. As Ashley says, she bags them, Helen tags them and now, Will helps study them.

So, as I prepare to say good-bye to Stargate Atlantis, I happily welcome, with open arms, Sanctuary into my home inside my home...the SciFi Channel.

Dr. Seriously Inappropriate

Gross! That and a few other terms that I would call "of endearment" are ones that I would chose to apply to one of the doctors on Dr. 90210. First of all, he really has a very high opinion of himself. Then, there is the creepy way he talks to and touches his patients. Although, they don't seem to mind, that is just not my idea of a good Doctor/Patient relationship.

Then, just when I think he can't be anymore inappropriate, he goes ahead and refers to the unfortunate problem of being less than well endowed as far as breasts go, as a "Handicap". Are you freaking kidding me? Really? Allow me to clarify. One of his patients was very, very small. She even said she had a negative A cup. She was a nude model and wanted a breast enlargement so that she could finally feel comfortable in her chosen career. So, the doctor's response was amazement about how "flat" she really is and then, he said some unthinkable things. Especially to the ears of someone who is also not well-endowed. He said that she has been lucky to do as well as she has in her career despite her "Handicap" of small breasts. Handicap? So, does that mean that I can get a Handicap license plate, a handicap tag for my rear view mirror in my car, and park in handicap spaces from now on since I am not that well-endowed either? Wow! I never really thought of my lack of massive chesticles as a "Handicap". I'll have to work this angle and see how far it can take me!

What a freaking Tool! No wait...a tool implies he is useful!

The Butt Bite...

I love this commercial. Especially near the end where the girl on the bus bites his butt. This is possibly one of the best commercials ever!

Making Decorations

This is my crafty side. I made this a few years ago. Just take an empty jar...Mason jars are great...get some primer and cover the outside in it. Let the primer dry and then paint the jar with whatever color and kind of paint you chose. I use a spray paint because it is easier. Let that dry and then paint your face on. I free-hand drew the face with a pencil and then painted it in. Finally, I bought a miniature straw hat from a craft store in my area (Michael's) and I cut a hole in the top of it, then I slipped it over the lid of the jar and, what you can't see is that there is also a tea light candle on top of the lid. It makes a cute little decoration and, for those Green people out there, it is a good way to recycle some of those jars.

Happy Halloween!
