Ah Big Brother is back which means summer is here

Yes summer is here if the heat doesn't remind you the fact that Big Brother is playing does it. Well last night was the eviction of JoJo and I am personally happy that Staten Island Beauty Queen is out of there. The power was up for grabs and Shane is now the new Head of Household - good for him. The only thing I have against that is that well Brittany is on pompous cloud nine again. Oh well that just means the falls will sting more when it happens and it will eventually happen. CBS is asking viewers should the coaches stop coaching and become regular players or the game - I voted for NO. I would like to give the new players a chance to play the game and let the coaches well coach. Ok some are coaching others are being idiots.

So I realized that in my last post I mentioned Danny being so cute but I never posted a picture of him so let me take care of that right now. If you see the picture behind him on the wall that is a picture of my brother when he was I want to say maybe 1 year old or so the resemblence is amazing but that's the SOP for his kids they all look like him.

Ok have a great weekend folks

I'm back!

Oh boy I have to admit this has been my longest streak in not writing in this blog. No excuses it is what it is - life happens. So let me provide a summary of what has happened since:

Danny was born duh we knew that already and is just as cute as can be! But wait there is more Baby number 5 is on the way! Oh yes you read that right folks Baby 5 who is also a boy is due Dec 18. I do not even want to comment because well sometimes it makes one say ah hello get HIM fixed! Before you asked she is fixed 2 pregnancies ago.

Now on to the fun stuff TV Shows!

Still love Revenge it is on hiatus right now but should return soon. New show on the love list is Political Animals on the USA Network. I have to say I am loving more and more USA Network shows they seem to have a little more freedom in the language department; ok a lot more freedom.

Ok now summer is here and of course you know what that means Big Brother of course! Alright so this season I am saying FINALLY a cast that is worth watching. The new twist this year was that they brought back some previous players and placed them in the house not as players but as Coaches - 4 in total. They each picked 3 players and if their players actually win then the Coaches get $100,000. Not a bad gig if you can get it. 2 of the 4 coaches are ones I truly like Janelle and Boogie. This time around Boogie is in the house without Dr Will but not to worry he already located his Dr Will his name is Frank.

This year's episode started with an eviction that same night and it was not even one where the house guests got to vote it was just like ok you lost this competition and your coach picked you to go so buh bye. I am not sure that is truly fair but it is what it is.

Within 2 weeks of entering the house there has been another eviction without votes! Oh yes it is the drama turn! Russell Hantz's (of Survivor fame) brother Willie was playing until he threw a bully spoiled brat temper tantrum and got physical with one of the players and one of the rules in BB is that you do not get violent and well he did so he was thrown out. It is too bad because I would of liked to see him play the game but he was a spoiled idiot so good bye dude.

This Friday the new cast of Dancing with the Stars will be revealed and if it is like the last 2 seasons it will be another yawn... But we shall see

Excited about Revenge

Happy November! What is sad is that this time last year I had almost all Christmas shopping done and as of right now I have none. Ok I have actually ordered one or two items and have pin pointed an item or two but no movement like I did last year. I know I need to change that.

In weather news the morning has been awesome! I love leaving in the wee hours of the morning to work and opening the door and instead of the usual humidity I get a scent of coolness - I only wish it would stay longer.

In TV news well DWTS is eh borning to say the least. A couple of weeks ago Max told off one of the judges and I am on Team Max he was right and Chaz Bono even mouthed off a few things. They seem to feel the judges have their golden child and are harsh and not sensitive to the others and say very cruel remarks...hum...why does that sound familiar??  OH yes because that is what I said way back when the season started, now I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed! So at this point I really do not care who stays or goes. Max and Hope are still in the competition but I have noticed that Len Goodman (the judge Max had the war of words with) has been scoring them rather low in comparision and not deserved - so gee so much for being a professional huh Len? Yeah Len spews he has over 50 years experience in the field - yet acting like a spoiled brat and striking back I am sure did not require much training. Ok on to better shows.,..

Revenge - OMG I am so loving this show! The show ends and I find myself panting for next week to see what happens. Unfortunately I will have to wait 2 weeks because next week the CMA's will be on. I know I know it has to be done. It is just nice to be excited about a show again. Do not get me wrong I love my mystery and mayhem shows like NCIS and CSI's but oh Revenge just stirs up a whole new sense of excitement.

In the meantime everything else is moving along smoothly. Daddy Dearest will be spending Thanksgiving with us and we shall once again do the hosting for the main event. It's always a nice relaxing time and I am actually looking forward to it.

The weekend is here! So what will happen this weekend?

The week is over!

So here we are at the end of another week and things are looking up. As we speak my sister in law is driving to the hospital to bring in another addition to the Bellver clan. Oh yes little Danny boy is scheduled to arrive today. I suppose this means I need to play 21 ooh lucky 21 Black Jack. Sounds good to me. He originally was to be brought in yesterday but the hospital called her and told they had no room in the inn yes that is right no beds. Ok how come that sounds like so wrong? You tell me if she went into labor they would be like hey can you hold that until tomorrow? But all is good with the world and Danny Jesus will be approaching some time today!

Quick round up on some shows:

DWTS - Carson is gone. While he may not had been the best I did not think he should leave. Nancy Grace now that one needs to leave. While I totally support Chaz's lifestyle and like him the guy cannot dance. But he did say hey if you keep me around I will make sure my mom comes to visit and well she did come to visit.

Revenge - God this show rocks! When last we left off Lydia was murdered by that dasterly guy the Graysons have working for them and what is even worse is that the murder was captured on tape! Meanwhile Emily/Amanda is now officially sleeping with Daniel who was caught off the 100 million dollar trust fund. What to do when your 100 million dollar fund is no longer available? Why get a job as a bartender at the local bar and grill of course.

Body of Proof - Not too shabby. Dead bodies, autopsy, murder, mayhem.

Desperate Housewives - once upon a time this show was one of my faves. Now its just stupid and ridiculous. I seriously do not understand the direction they have put some of these characters. I understand that this is the last year for the show and maybe the writers just do not care. Ok Gabby's rapist pedifile step father came after her he was about to rape her and Carlos hit him and he dropped dead. Ok one would say hey this is great you saved her but no the women walk in and see the dead body and of course what does one do? Why they hide the body until their house party is over and then put him in the trunk of the car and bury his body in the forest. So then why is Susan feeling so guilty?? She had nothing to do with the killing yeah she helped bury the body but come on she is like freaking out by hitting policemen on purpose so they can arrest her? It's like she wants to be punished. So either way this show is going to end this year and as of right now I am not going to miss it anymore.

The NCIS's and CSI's are going good that does not seem to change.

Ok lets make it a good day and let play 21 for Danny!

DWTS and other shows

Another star bites the dust on DWTS. This time around it was Chynna Phillips. I am not so sure that she deserved to leave although I understand it because her performance was hurtful. She had forgotten the steps and it was clearly obvious that she was totally lost. I still feel bad I think dispite that set back she was pretty darn good. But alas they say it is all in the votes, at least that is what ABC tells us and we all know how truthful ABC is.

So I have watchd a few new shows and I thought ok let me give you a run down on if I like them or not and yes I will keep it short - sort of.

Pan Am - eh it's "ok" if it flew off into the sunset I will not miss it but I will still watch it while it is on.
Charlie's Angels - Typical no different then the original version with the exception that the Angels are a little more Kick A**.
Body of Proof - Really good, love it!
Revenge - Awesome!

Then of course there are the return favorites such as NCIS (both of them) and the CSI's which are a staple on the DVR.

Soaps and Advertising

Here is some happy sounding news regarding daytime soaps more specific towards my two babies who have been eliminated by murderer Brian Frons. We know that Prospect Park came in and saved the day by purchasing the licensing for the two shows All My Children and One Life to Live. They stated that it would be most likely internet based and at the time there was not an official home. Well according to press releases a new internet company has been formed titled ...wait for it... The Online Network. It is being put together and they have agreed to host the two shows. What is even better to hear is that they are trying methods that have proven successful on Prime Time and that is by having music and advertising on the show. The Online Network (TOLN) has partnered with Universal Music Group (UMG), the world's leading music company, to license music exclusively from UMG's record and publishing companies to new episodes of ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE, when both series launch online after their run on ABC ends. The licensing deal with UMG allows TOLN to provide compelling recorded music and songs, and artist cross-promotion and integration, to a powerful new audience. How brilliant bring in advertisers and let that pay for the show. Imagine the possibility! I am looking forward to it.

In other news I am going to give DWTS one more try since Cher is going to be sitting in the audience. Ok Chaz is not the greatest dancer, ok he kind of really sucks but for me its more about the judges being fair and providing constructive critism to all the dancers and not just the ones they liked. I believe Julienne Hough will also be performing tomorrow in a FootLoose dance routine. So that will be nice to see.

Another week no All My Children yes C/S

Well here we are another week of no All My Children and yes I guess I can cope without my soap and all I have to say is Brain Frons I hope you have nightmares and the runs for the next 41 years. Hey look I am into the spiritual awareness and not wishing harm and I do not wish him harm I just want him to have a 41 year run just like All My Children did is that really such a bad thing to wish for?

This week is the start of mayhem at work because it is Customer Service week. Now we have local co-workers who are just way too creative for their jobs and really get excited about creating stuff. This year the theme we were given is carnical/circus and well lets just say the department got turned into a huge Big Top with games, "rides", and shows. Its actually pretty fun to watch and do. However, each year I think about this and tell me if this makes sense. C/S week is suppose to be the bosses saying to us hey thanks for doing a great job in servicing our customers. But what happens is big boss gives the theme and worker bees go full steam ahead getting games and stuff etc...The worker bees put up the stuff the worker bees will bring it down. Meanwhile the bosses walk around smiling and saying oh how nice and oh yes they arrange for snacks to be brought up (yum chocolate) and one day during the week lunch in the cafeteria - Can it get any more exciting? Then once this whole thing is over a few short days later (Oct 17) is Boss's Day and here are the silly work bees going around decorating and collecting money for an expensive gift that chances are she will not like but appreciate. I know I sound like Negative Nancy and I will have to work that out. I think its because we were divided into "Teams" for the games and there is a certain person in my team I really wish she would not be there but she always is in it every year. I think I will take that opportunity to make her life miserable by being happy happy joy joy...Yeah that's the ticket...oh ticket..,prize.
