04 days to Comcast!

Well my friends I had the unpleasure of watching DWTS, or as my husband likes to now call it Crapping With the Stars. I am so sorry but when I see gay men groveling over Pamela Anderson it is like seriously guys are we that stupid? And all she does is giggle put her finger by her face play with her hair and lay her head ever so slowly on her partners chest. Oh come on some one vote her off please. I seriously doubt that she is getting a lot of phone in votes since I suspect it mainly women who watch the show and would do that and I am sorry no self respecting woman would vote for her. (In my opinion of course)

Aiden Turner - oh Aiden I had high hopes for you and yes you have improved but the way I see it well the show plans on giving it to Derek and his partner unless the skater steps in the way. That seems to have been decided before the show even started. Don't get me started again on hiring stars who are dancers and professional skaters to a dancing competition.

In other wonderful news it is gloriously hot here in Miami. A few tiny sprinkles here and there but during the day there is the humidity we have all come to love. I suppose that season we had in the beginning of the year that last for like 3 months is over and summer is starting to creep in.

Now just to remind everyone tonight is DWTS and its the elimination show. So here is my prediction. Bottom two will be Kate Josselin and Aiden Turner and I suspect Aiden will be gone. How right am I?

oh PS

04 days to Comcast

Will Comcast deliver?

Oh what a great start it is. Yes I am anxiously waiting for Saturday and my appt with Comcast. I have high hopes that this will be the start of a great relationship because if Saturday comes and Comcast does not show up well there will be no reschedule. If they come and I am not provided all 3 packages that they said I will tell that tech sorry we wasted your time was wasted but I am not going through this game again. But I am positive I am sure they will come through.

On another note. DWTS what kind of crap is going to happen tonight?

The Saga Contnues

The story of my telephone/internet/tv services I feel will be a whole chapter in itself because the saga continues. To recap AT&T sold me this wonderful 3 package deal on the latest and greatest and I was hey lets do it. So I said YES ok give me all 3 items. Well we remember the installation appt nightmare and when the guy finally came he was only able to do 2 of the 3 and said hey just call to reschedule for the telephone. Ok fine sounds good he made a note in the system and I was ok fine I will do that. So time went by and I sort of got caught up in life until I received my regular AT&T phone bill and it was sky high! Mind you this is just the bill for the land line phone. So I called them up and said hey buddy lets set a time up for this new digital phone and the lady goes no sorry we cannot do that. Ah why? Oh because it's not available and then she added be glad because I am hearing many complaints about it, but it does become available it will cost you $149 to get it installed? I am like WHAT! Wait a minute first of all you sold me all 3 bundled package you never said hey only 2 are available and then this telephone installation I know will take 10-15 minutes max because that is what your trusty technician said - and for that you will charge $149? She said yes we have to charge that. Oh heck no. So I hung up and the man and I discussed this and yes Comcast was mentioned again as an option.

So I compared packages made a phone call or two and email or two and Comcast came with a very attractive bundle package. All 3 items including my current hook on DVR and high speed internet for a price that well lets just say I am saving $50 a month! Ok now this sounds like a plan I can live with. So I made the appt. Lets keep our fingers crossed that this will be the one and only appt and I won't have one of these oh let me reschedule or worse not show up at all.

I am sure that if these companies talk to each other I must be on the list of "fickle" customers. But AT&T made me mad. They lied, broke promises and lets not get into the several appt made where they never bother to call and say sorry something came up and we just are not showing up. I now suspect I know why they never showed up. They knew that they could not do all 3 items and somewhere along the way they must of all went "ops" which explains why I would call and I would get someone to look my account up and then I would go on hold for a long time. They were like ah lets just schedule her and maybe she will forget we are suppose to come. Oh no she didn't forget she is hounding us ok lets just send someone there and then he can give the excuse oh just call to reschedule and we can hope she forgets. Yeah I think thats what happened. So if I cannot trust them then why give them any of my hard earned cash. Comcast you all better be good otherwise well I don't know but I don't want to know..

Ok am I rambling on? Well not rambling just venting. So do you think Comcast will disappoint me?

Good Friday

Happy Friday folks! It is Good Friday and whether you celebrate the religion or not Friday ( in my opinion) is always good. Tonight is time with the fam night.

Remember the story about AT&T a while back and how close I got to moving to Comcast? Well I still have Internet and U-Verse but I was on hold for the digital telephone service. They had told me to call back and reschedule. Well after receiving my regular phone bill and after the circulation came back I said ok time to call and schedule this digital U-Verse thing they wanted me to do. Well of course I call and they are so very happy to help me and then I am put on hold. Oh yeah I remember this and she comes back and tells me well no I am sorry we cannot help you because it is not available BUT when it is we will charge you $149 installation fee. WHAT! Wait a minute it will take maybe 15 minutes to install (that's what the technician had said) and you are going to charge me $149!! When Originally I was told nothing because I was buying the complete package??? Yes ma'am that is the charge. Well gee thanks but NO THANKS. So I basically stripped the phone of all it's thrills except for voice mail (and once I get an answering machine that will be gone too) and said dude you are so wrong so very wrong.

The other night we had such a beautiful full moon it was large and bright and just one of those for making wishes. I wish we had more of those. Yes I did make a wish and no I am not going to reveal what the wish was for. Silly people you are. ha ha ha

A few more days before the new episode of DWTS and I can't wait to see what stupid blond the current stupid blond (Pam Anderson) will play. Lets see she did Anna Nicole Smith and Marilyn Monroe. Who else is left? Maybe she will go brunette and do Betty Boop. Oh no you don't thinks she would mess with the Boop do you? I want to see how long the 2 gay guys will continue drooling over her. Because I just have issues over gay men drooling over Dumb-Blonde-Boob-popping women. I am sorry but that is wrong and how much extra did the show pay you to do that? Seriously because she isn't that good at dancing! But one good piece of dirt I heard is that Pamela Anderson just cannot stand one of the other contestants - Kate Josselin. Yep she cannot stand the reality star with 8 children. And why not you may ask? Well because Kate is not in it for the right reasons? AH??? HUH?? WHAT??? It is a dancing show you are being PAID to compete and dance. No the money is not for charity unless you decide on your own to give it but otherwise you are being paid. So what's the right reason? Ok I am may not like Kate but to say she is not in it for the right reason? Give me a break...Now you see why I call her a dumb blonde.

In other celebrity news..

By Ryan Patterson
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
“She’s seen lots of pictures of me at that time and she’s like, ‘Oh my God, Mom, you used to dress so cool!’” Madonna laughs and admits that 13-year-old daughter Lourdes is very opinionated when it comes to what her famous mom wears.

Used to dress cool? I still think Madonna has amazing taste (with the exception maybe of that Louis Vuitton outfit with the bunny ears), but Lourdes is on to something. Her mom’s unique style back in the day rocked… she was such the trendsetter.

Now, the style icon and her hip daughter are teaming up for a new junior clothing line appropriately called Material Girl.

“It’s got lots of different connotations. First of all, the word ‘material’ is fabric, so we’re talking clothes and Material Girl is a name that everyone associates with me and associates with that specific style I had at that time with my career.”

Material Girl, which will be sold exclusively at Macy’s, is very accessible and affordable with prices starting at $12 and topping out at just $40. Madonna says she and Lourdes, or Lola as she affectionately calls her daughter, are “extremely involved” in the creation of the line.
“The most fun is when Lola comes into the room and takes over and pulls out all of her favorite stuff and starts going through the racks and just takes over. I just sit on the conference table and watch and let her do the work, it’s nice, it’s refreshing.”

Described as a “fast-fashion junior collection,” of apparel, footwear, handbags and jewelry, Madonna says she and Lourdes were definitely inspired by the early ‘80s for Material Girl.
“It’s weird because my closet doesn’t really have that much of that look, so she’s somehow figured out a way to do it on her own, thrift shops and taking bits and pieces from her favorite stores and stealing stuff from my closet and she creates this look that is her own, but also influenced by the early ‘80s and the way that I used to dress. So I think it’s in the DNA.”

Must be something with girls named Lola.... :-)

Have a great weekend...Will I make it in one piece?

A little rant

Good day Miami! It is in the 60's right now and a ton of fog all around. I have to admit I love seeing the fog on the lawn it just reminds me of clouds and makes me wish I could walk on the cloud. Yeah I know I am a little girl at heart. Had dinner with a friend from work last night one of those last minute things she asked I accepted and it was nice to exchange some idol gossip. So I started watching last night my regular daytime soaps and I was watching what is usually my favorite one (All My Children) and I found myself blue. That show was so hot and on fire a few short years ago, I mean there was Palmer, Adam and Stuart, Erica and well pick a man any man. Those were the times I loved attending Super Soap Weekend at Disney's MGM Studio. The show filmed in New York and every so often they would do an outside location shot which was cool because it was funny to see the fictional town of Pine Valley have a New York flair. Then occasionally one of the characters would take a shuttle to New York and you would see the usual NY places.

Well now we are in present day and Super Soap Weekend is no longer happening, at least not in Florida. James Mitchell who played Palmer recently passed away he was not seen much because of his ill health. The powers that be hired a head writer who just destroyed the core characters. We fans call him Pratt Falls because he just made everything fall down and die. The one up side the powers that be finally opened their eyes and listened to fans and he is no longer employed there but the damage he has done is done. One of the most beloved characters Stuart was killed - a casualty of Pratt Falls era. Stuart being killed left Adam helpless and alone because Stuart was the good brother who always saw the best in Adam and well Adam was not a very nice guy. David Canary plays/played the parts of Adam and Stuart. He is awesome because he and Stuart are twins and you could see a scene and go wait that is Adam pretending to be Stuart. Seriously he was that good.

Why am I going on about AMC? Well the show recently relocated to Los Angeles. Oh yeah from NY to LA? They claim it is to save money but the loss that is coming (in my opinion) is huge. David Canary does not like LA he likes NY he is a New Yorker so he decided not to renew his contract so as a result some time this month he will no longer be on the show. Yeah that's another core character leaving. Joe Martin who was with the show when it started 40 years ago was written off they moved his core veteran character to Florida. Great another core character gone. Susan Lucci who plays the memorable Erica Kane said she is a New Yorker and will always be a New Yorker so she does not want to work as many hours so she is doing (for now) 2 weeks of filming and off for 2 weeks. Yeah she can do that because the day they lose Erica Kane that is it buddy head for the hills and shut it down. So who is left? All the young characters. It is sad when you see shows no longer honor their vets and push them away and bring in the new young kids. Am I watching it? Well yeah because I just can't cope without my soap!

Ok that is my rant. Now for some idol celebrity gossip courtesy of Naugthy But Nice Rob Shuter

Sandra Bullock is going through torment dealing with the Jesse James cheating scandal. Heartbroken Sandra Feels Like She Failed. She is blaming herself saying things like maybe she should of not worked and stayed home to be a full time wife? (Seriously Sandra? Come on the dude cheated with a tattoo bimbo it is so not your fault!)

And now on to the weekend...oh what will it bring

DWTS - Crap or fiction?

Oh boy a whole week has gone by and it only seems like it was yesterday I was swearing I would write more often. It has been a pretty decent week. Had some family fun times and some friends fun time. One sad note my local Tony Romas unexpectedly closed for business. Yes I am sadden for that because I almost found it as my public private lodge. I would go there on a Saturday night or Friday night for an after dinner drink or more for the conversations I would have with the bartender there and some locals that would come. It was nice it was not overly crowded, clean and everyone who worked there were friendly and did the "HI!" when they saw me. Yeah when you go there once or twice a week they tend to know you. So I went there Friday night and Renee (bartender) and I are talking and she is all excited because they had asked her to head local marketing and PR relations. She was having plans on going to the area businesses and my Moose Lodge. We even were discussing on setting up a Twitter account for them and start offering tweet specials. She tells me there is an upcoming meeting and she will know more. Well next thing I know 2 days later she sends me a text saying they closed the place. Apparently everyone came in to work that day and were told today is your last day we are closed. Very sad to hear about this.

Now I begin with DWTS. Oh where to begin where to begin. If you read my previous entries on the first dances you know how I feel about some of the "stars." Now the results and who got kicked off. The way it works there are points the judges provide and then text and phone in votes. I have always had my concerns on phone in votes because sometimes I find it hard to believe Americans are that stupid. Ok fine not stupid but makes me say "Seriously????"

First I think we have already seen the possible winner and that is Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough. First Derek is just once of the best dancers out there. He truly is excellent and his routines are top notch and on fire. Nicole is just really good. But of course she is good she was part of the dancer grop PussyCat Dolls. The show tends to do this they throw in obvious front runners and she is one of them and paired with Derek well they should make it to the finals.

My wishful contestant/dancer is Aiden Turner. Oh Aiden I so like him. He was (until recently) on All My Children and well now he is here struggling. He is struggling to learn to dance. I hate to say it but he has no rhythm. But all I can is "Aiden, you can do it!"

Then we have the Great Grandpa generation representative Buzz Aldin. Lordly help us all. Look I respect the man he is a great leader and awesome American, but he has no business on the dance floor.

Now we lets get to Pamela Anderson who decided on her first week she was going to play the role of Nicole Anna Smith (hee hee ha ha kiss kiss ops there goes my boob) and this week she decided to play Marilyn Monroe. (Do I see a trend here?) Can she dance? Ask the 2 gay guy judges who are drooling over her and the supposedly straight female judge who pretty much wants to make out with her. Oh they love her. Noticed I said THEY love her. Sorry I have seen better. And, the stupid dumb blonde act (it is an act isn't it?) is just well annoying. SO I was happy to see her in the bottom two.

Now I come to the other bottom two dancer Shannen Doherty. Well I like Shannen I certainly do. I liked her on Melrose Place and I liked her a lot on Charmed. Actually I liked her more on Charmed. Was she an excellent dancer? No but she was better then Pamela and certainly better then Buzz.

So who left? It is with deep regret I must say Shannen Doherty has left the building. Now you see why I have issues with the phone in votes?

What other crap will happen in this season?

The Day After

Well it is the day after the debut of Dancing with the Stars and well it proved interesting. First of all I am a soap fan so when my Aiden Turner from All My Children was a dancer competing I was like oh yeah this is cool because well recently he got kicked off the soap. A total shame how they made his character go nuts. Well they paired him with my faveorite professional dancer Edyta Sliwinska. She is pretty awesome and I think some years they really screw her by giving her less then memorable celebrities as partners. She has had 2 good ones (Jason Taylor and Cameron Mathison) but all the others have been like oh come on really. Their first dance was the Cha Cha Cha and they danced it to Hungry Life the Wolf. Yeah not sure it was the best song choice but for someone who is not a dancer I thought it was fine. The judges were hard they did not particularly care for it.

So who did they care for? OH let me think oh yes they were going all stupid nuts for Pamela Anderson who they have billed as "the sexiest woman on the planet"? Really? Pamela Anderson as the sexist woman on the planet? Oh she played the stupid blonde part well. She had her super low cut dress and short short short dress. Then the helpless breath and oh so girlish giggles. OH yes wait this is a dancing show so did she even dance? Oh yes they ah hem danced the Cha Cha Cha to Gimme All Your Lovin'. Yeah I expected that. Now her partner was new to the show and he was very good he truly was but I am sorry she got the 4th highest score and I if I am wrong well I am wrong but I saw the performance Buzz Aldrin did better.

Speaking of Buzz I wish DWTS would stop putting on older then Moses people on the show. But the man made an excellent point and this is most likely why they do it; he said it is to show people who are that age that they can do whatever they want and give them inspiration. So for that alone sounds good to me.

There are the typical skaters who will do really good and pussycat dolls singer who also dance who will be really great too (yawn I see who ABC wants to win). Then you have Kate Gosselin mommy of 8 of the Jon and Kate series. I found her well unmemorable. Sorry I only speak it as I see it.

How will this season turn out?
