Me? Press/Media? who knew!

Ah yes the time goes by like the wind blows and before you know a new season has started. In Miami a new season has begun it is summer. Oh yes I know you are saying ah hello missy we are entering Spring. That may be for the rest of the world but here in Miami we are entering bruttle heat and humidity better known as summer. Because as hot as it is now it will be just as hot in the summer. Yeah paradise what can I say I live in it.

So what has been happening? Well I upgraded my writing venture. I recently became an Examiner/writer for Examiner.com and more specifically an Examiner assigned to Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. At first I thought oh no I certainly picked something off but then I realized the Arsht Center has tons of things going on all the time. I have written and published quite a few articles already and that is pretty exciting. Recently I was preparing an article on an upcoming show under the Broadway Across America series titled Spring Awakening. Well this show is hot to say the least. It has won 8 Tony Awards and provides tons of dancing and singing and along the a story on sexual awakening. Out of the blue I came across an email for someone associated with the show and I asked for a telephone interview with a cast member. The press agent was so kind that they did! I did my first interview and I tell you at first I was very nervous but then once I started talking to them it was pretty darn cool. The press agent then sent me an invite for opening night (tomorrow night) and I am so excited about it. I mean opening night! I have to go to the "Press/Media" table to pick up our tickets and that in itself is very exciting!

I cannot wait to see this show I have heard such great reviews and seen some of the numbers and well it just looks great.

I will certainly let you know how it goes.

Still excited about DWTS! Final 5 and the ones left are good. I think Niecy will be the next one off but she is not going down without the fight because she is good and her partner is awesome too.

So will she make it?

The Bachelor has left the Building

Well the Bachelor finally left the building with no rose in hand. Yes I said finally, I am sorry but there is just something I did not like about him he had this ego and he hated to adjust and listen to anyone. The first 3 weeks he was having disagreements with his trainer because OMG she was telling him what to do?? What didn't someone tell her that HE is the Bachelor and HE makes the decisions? I guess when he saw that the public was voting he decided he needed to suck it up and play nice - too bad he can't dance. That's all I have to say on the subject - except I was right on picking who was leaving ----again.

On other news, work is work is work is work it is a wee bit busy but that is fine because it makes the days go by fast. Canada trip is fastily approaching and I am totally looking forward to it!

The weekend is almost here - well half way down to the home stretch and one thing is certain that it will be the quickest 2 days.

Have a great week and lets see what happens over the weekend..

DWTS my prediction

Sorry it has been a little since my last posting, there has been much to do and little time to do it -well sort of. Daddy dearest came to town last Thursday and I for one love when the old man comes to town mainly because he always comes bearing gifts for ME! Yeah this time it was a large bottle of ah hem Borolla? Ok I so do not drink red BUT he remembered that the last time I tried some this was the only one I was actually happy with. For some reason the family is insisting that I will turn to be a red drinker one day, so when found that Borolla was one I liked he was quoted as saying "Oh dear you are in trouble the bottle costs $80". So daddy dearest brought me a bottle! Yeah life is good.

Speaking of daddy dearest, we did the whole going around the city thing - even though he is not a tourist. We went to the Keys for lunch - ala Snappers. Then we went to Sushi Maki for dinner. Had a fun filled day at the track on Saturday. Oh yeah the ponies were good. Daddy dearest did really good he picked a couple of winners. Then we went to oh the ever so good restaurant Sage located in Historic Hollywood Florida. God it was soooo good! Word to the wise if you go to Sage for every 2 dozen oysters you purchase you get a free bottle of wine - we ended up with 2 free bottles and yes this was after purchasing 2 bottles ourselves. Lucky for us they allowed us to take the last unopened bottle home. So thank you Sage and we will be back oh yes we will.

Now on to the gossip. DWTS - oh boy I saw last nights show and I do believe the dancers are getting better, even the giggling blond Pam Anderson. So I am watching the show and he comes Jake the Bachelor out to dance. Ok now he is not one of my faves and I personally think he has an ego problem but really who doesn't in the entertainment industry? So I am watching him and they pan to the audience where his GF is sitting and honestly she did not have a happy look on her face, she had a pretty oh boy I am bored or mad look. I am like oh wow is there trouble in Paradise? Then I learn that word on the gossip street is that Pamela Anderson has been flirting with Jake, which makes Jake happy because she has been his childhood crush since Baywatch. No really Jake? And Pamela flirting? Is this possible? Ah yeah just ask Len and Bruno (the 2 gay judges) who fawn over her because she flirts with them too! So this is pretty good dirt. Is there anything to it? Nah I certainly doubt it, everyone knows Pamela flirts with anything that moves - heck I bet she looks in the mirror and flirts with herself. I'm just sayin..

So tonight is buh bye time and here is my prediction. I suspect one of these 3 will be in the bottom two: Jake, Chad, Pamela. One of them will be leaving and if I was to predict who is leaving well I am going to say I think Jake is gone. I find Pamela is a close 2nd to leaving too.

Who will win? Well at this point I seriously think its Nicole and Derek although from the beginning I have said the final two will be Nicole and Derek and Evan and his partner.

So will I be right?

DWTS update and stuff

Ok so last night's DWTS was "ok" because there was not a whole of Oh I so love you but real critiques, unless you are Derek and Diane then forget they might as well give them the trophy. But get this Pamela Anderson only had one of the gay men (Bruno) fawn over her. Yeah Len finally point out that well she sucked! Ok not sucked just was not the best but he had that little smile on his face for her and told her over all it was very well.

It is in my humble opinion that these judges do stuff like this in order to influence the votes. It appears this week they have taken their aim at getting rid of Kate Josselin and well I have to agree with them. Although, honestly she should of been gone week 2. Len said it best when he said she walks through the dance instead of dance. She seems to not even try it is like yeah ok whatever here I am. Then when that is pointed out all she has to say is "Well I had 8 little visitors this week." Yeah we know this is why you are on the show missy because you put those 8 little visitors on TV for the whole world to see.

I suspect and predict that Kate will be one of the bottom two and Niecy because they seemed to really pick on Niecy too.

So now that we are keeping U-Verse it was time to downgrade. I changed the viewing from HD to regular and got rid of the HBO and Cinemax. (Sorry desperate times call for desperate measures). What I am learning is that some of my recordings that I have pre-set are/were set to record on HD channels. Do you know what happens when a show tapes on an HD channel and you do not have HD turned on? Well you record 60 minutes of a black screen. I guess it could be worse - I could have no DVR OH shutter the thought!

I am about 5 weeks from my Spiritual Awakening trip to Canada! I am so excited I received the badge and credentials in the mail along with the schedule. I am going to be one busy chick according to that schedule - and I can't wait! More on that as we get closer..

It's what we have for now

I may dislike them but right now I am stuck with them. I am afraid we were not able to do the switch. Once again, a promise was not met. Because Paul works full time from home it is vital that we have the fastest Internet speed, this means it must be wired ( I hope I am saying that right because I am so not techy), not wireless. We have learned that wired is quicker then wireless. Ok so currently we have two boxes and each box has a Internet hole ( I know that is not the technical name work with me here) and we are able to plug some cord into it and run that wire to the home office. This works so the new one must be able to do the same. So when the guy arrived Paul showed the guy what he wanted to do and the guy said the only way to do that is if the Internet is put only in that bedroom. This means that there would be no other Internet connection in the house, so while his home office would have Internet the rest of the house (me) would not. Ok that is just not right. So we thanked the guy for his time and he truly was a nice guy he was very helpful and tried to help us out but we had to send him away and stay with what we have. SO the search continues...

In other news the weekend was rather wet and dry. Friday we got together with one third of the usual suspects. We went to Cooper's Resto which was as always fabulous. Saturday - that evening was going to see the Elktones at Miami 948 Elks Lodge. Yeah that was nice too.

Sunday was the day of wet it rained and rained and rained. Typically, in Miami it rains for a little bit and then it just goes away and the sun comes out but Sunday was just one of these days that it did not stop for much. Which sucks because I really need to clear out my car trunk. Can you tell I always have such high important things on my list of stuff to do.

Last night was Desperate Housewives OMG did anyone see that? Ok I so love this show and I have watched it since it started but come on for the longest I have been waiting to see who the killer is and it's one of Porters friends? Hello I only saw this guy last night? Why couldn't they have incorporated him into previous shows where we got a chance to see him more. Although the person he killed last night was - eh who cares I did not care for her too much.

Tonight is DWTS oh lets see on a scale of 1-10 how much over the top with the two gay men drool over Pamela Anderson? How many times with Bruno say "SEXXXY"?

Stay Tune..

I really dislike AT&T

As I sit here thinking can this week go any more slow I am hit with an email from AT&T U-Verse and the bill my friends is disgustedly high. Let's just say it could be a car payment and in many cases higher then most electric bills. I totally flipped out! After I re-captured my breath I decided to view the details of the bill and oh boy those "special" folks at AT&T decided to lie - again! Yeah they had originally said oh no Mrs. Leach no installation fee for you because you are ordering all 3 services. So naturally when they could not deliver on the 3rd portion I still expected not to pay for the installation but guess what they changed their minds and charged me anyway! Oh yes those wonderful people decided to charge me that fee and having dealt with their excellent customer service in the past I know it will do any good.

Right now I am so ready to embrace Comcast I really am ready because I am just so done with these big time liars.

If I could bop them on the head oh heck yes I would. I would "sock it to them!"

Did anyone capture the finale of Ugly Betty? No I didn't either but I will. Tonight is Survivor but when they booted out Boston Rob I sort of lost interest.

In better news I know I said a while back I wanted to start writing a book and I got myself a notebook to make notes and have made notes now I am starting to think of characters and plots. How about a nice Cuban girl who came to this big new land with her family and the struggles of dealing with cultural differences? I'm just sayin..

DWTS update

Well here is the day after DWTS and half of my prediction came true. I had the bottom two incorrect but I had the elimination correct. I am sorry to say Aiden is gone. Yes very sadden but (as much as I hate to admit it) he really wasn't good - but he certainly was better then hello Kate Gosselin!

The bottom 3 did include Kate and if you ask me she should of been gone but that is just my little humble opinion.

I really should stop watching this show since I tend to be really good at predicting who is leaving and who will win - here is the way I see it and it will be interesting to see how accurate I am (but I seem to recall last season I was pretty much on the mark).

Chad Ochocinco - he will most likely go far he is actually pretty good. Will he go to the finals? Maybe I can see a final 3 or 4.

Evan Lysacek sorry they slated this to be his competition this guy will go to the finals and he may win - unless a certain pussycat doll has something to say about it... speaking of pussycat doll..

Nicole Scherzinger - oh put money down on her this guy got like a 10 in her 3rd dance, never mind that she was/is a dancer (oh why let a little thing like that get in the way). If she does not make it to the finals it is because the forces of nature came by and her dancing professional Derek decided to sabotage her and I don't see Derek doing that.

Jake Pavelka - The Bachelor - Oh Please....This guy has such a huge ego and it showed the minute he came on the show. First of all he came on the show shortly after he picked the final one and the media was all over him. He was the spot light. For the past few months he was snapping his fingers and people were crawling to him. He said jump and they said "Yes master how high?" So now he walks into a dancing studio and HE has take directions and OMG they bump heads because he does not want to listen to her? WHAT I can hear it now "I am the Bachelor you listen to me." So his dancing was the not the greatest because he was too busy expecting the female girl to grovel at his feet - and she didn't. So now is when he seems to be coming back down to planet Earth. Will he get himself back in to dance till the end? Oh HECK NO.

Niecy Nash - nice girl, funny but sorry she isn't winning it.

Pamela Anderson - if the 2 gay men would stop drooling over her and judge her fairly then maybe she may make it but right now she does the obvious dumb sexy blonde thing and the gay men love it while the straight girl watches. Give me a break just based on that she may go further then she should at least the final 5.

Thats how I see it for those there. The others that are not listed is because well they have potential but I am uncertain. So how will they rate?
