Did some catching up!

TysonI made quite a hefty dent in my to watch list yesterday, hurrah.

I watched an episode of 24, which was great, for me 24 is one of the very few US drama shows that has legs, 8th season and it’s still great and I look forward to it each week. Most US dramas turn to shit after the first few seasons.

Both episodes of American Idol, nothing much to say about that. I am not even sure why I am still watching because I don’t really care.

One episode of Burn Notice. He’s so hot, that’s the main reason I watch, purrr.

and also Survivor Tocantins, love love love Survivor and for once the editing got me — it seemed they were setting up a Sydney elimination and then it was Sandy to go, colour me shocked! Tyson is lame, he’s trying far too hard to be the bad guy that it just makes him look stupid — there’s being the seasons villain and then there’s acting the seasons villain Tyson dear, and we see straight through you!

Indeed, it was a good TV day :)

 

USA Casinos

casino_o_largeIt must suck if you enjoy gambling and playing in casinos but live in the USA, so many of them will not accept US players!

To Watch List

I have a lot of TV to catch up on, somehow I have got very behind.

I think it comes with having gone from January and the start of February when there is literally bugger all on, to late February and early March when all the big shows start up again — usually with a two hour premiere!

Here’s the to watch list:

The Biggest Loser Australia television
Make Me a Supermodel USA 2
Project Runway Canada
24 x 2
American Dad
American Idol x 2
America’s Next Top Model x 2
Burn Notice x 2
Chuck
Desperate Housewives
Dollhouse
Hell’s Kitchen
Heroes x 3
Lost x 2
My Name is Earl
Reaper
Survivor

Crazy huh? It’s sort of funny to see so many episodes of Heroes and Lost up there, a few years ago I would sit at my computer literally watching them download so that I could play them the second they were done, now, meh…I just don’t care very much, I am not even sure why I still watch them at all — Heroes especially is dire now.

 

Biggest Loser Cliff Hanger!!!!!

I loved Mr Voice Over Man calling this years contestants ‘The fattest ever’, I don’t know why — I think usually they keep it a lot more PC and skirt around the F word, calling them big, heavy and large etc instead.

Now is it just me or did the powers that be preview some sort of Sione melt down, a freak out about Bob not working with him on the treadmill or something? Only, they then never showed it in the episode — unless I fell asleep and missed it, which is possible, I’ve been known to do that hehe.

taraTara, still find her annoying but you gotta hand it to her — girl is a freaking machine. I keep thinking that this week must be her ‘bad week’, every one gets them…no matter how strong or how hard they work, sooner or later every one usually hits a wall. How is she avoiding it? I actually think it might do her some good to have that bad week, learning how to deal with failures in weight loss is an important part of the journey.

Finally…cliff hanger? Oh noes, I hate cliff hangers…they mean I have to like, wait, to find out results and stuff. Grr.

Having said that I think the results are pretty obvious.

Mike does something selfless and kind.
Jillian talks about karma.
Mike is the last one to weigh in, it all hangs on him losing 10 pounds.

It’s be pretty darned rude of the producers to have him not pull the 10 now, wouldn’t it?

 

World of Goo

worldofgoo-2008-02-18-17-01-27-22I’ve been playing World of Goo loads the last few days, it’s freaking awesome. I wanted it on the Wii but couldn’t be bothered to work out how to use the virtual console thing, I didn’t even realise you could get it for the PC or I would have done a lot sooner.

It’s really addictive, the style reminds me of my favourite — De Blob — and also of the age olde retro awesomeness that was Lemmings! I can’t even tell you how many hours of my life I wasted on Lemmings back in the 90s!

If you like gaming, why not check out the 360Bracketz.com gaming blog, it’s a near resource.

 

Office Furniture is exciting, really!

holeinonetwoindI know it’s lame, but I have been really excited the last few days because I am helping someone set up their office, it means I get to play at interior designer again…you guys know I like that as I wanted to be an interior designer as a teen :)

I also happen to like office stuff, desks, chairs, folders and files — there’s just something sexy about it all.

We might end up getting some custom home office furniture because the person I am doing it for is very picky and is yet to find any thing to really suit his style and needs.

 

Women like to shop!

newbalance902Here are three of my favourite things to do:

Shop
Shop for shoes
Save money while shopping for shoes

Boring and predictable I know, a girl who likes shopping — especially for shoes and clothes and make up and all the other stereotypical stuff, I know I know, but what can I do — it’s the way my brain is wired :)

As I am quite sure I have mentioned before I don’t really impulse buy though, I like to be really careful with my hard earned money and I love a bargain.

Even if there is something I really want and I think the best price I find for it is fair, I will often wait a while and see if it drops in price or if I can find it somewhere else cheaper by using a coupon or something.

I always check PricePickle.com for my coupons, there are loads of similar sites out there but I find these guys really up to date and they add new ones all the time, like literally 100s each and every day.

I just searched for Finish Line Coupons because I have my eye on some new running shoes, looks like I just missed out on a 15% off athletic/walking shoes coupon — but they have some other great ones right now :)
