When I was a little girl growing up in England, my family and I were avid watches of Dr Who.  The first actor I can recall watching in the Role was John Pertwee, who was the 3rd incarnation of the timelord.  My favorite was Tom Baker - I liked his scarf and his general joi de vivre - but that's neither here nor there. I can very clearly recall being afraid enough of the Daleks to lose control of my bladder and wet my pants.  They were so.....ruthless.  They were ...

There is a TV commerical for Charter Communications that is slowly driving me insane. The premise of the commercial is that if you switch your telephone service provider to Charter Communications, you'll save so much money you'll laugh all the way to the bank.  It features a man who laughs all the way along his journey to his financial institution. And what an annoying laugh it is.  It sounds like Pavarotti after he's sucked down half a tank of helium; it's so completely fake and...

The first episode of the new series of American Idol is giving me a headache. It's very hard to watch....veery, very hard to watch. I sit here, cringing.  Wincing visibly, I'm told, at the attempts some people are making to 'sing'. I am constantly amazed at people's ability to sweeten the truth, to make it a little easier on themselves.  People manage to talk themselves into believing anything....and then are devastated when they are told what the rest of us can see - that the...

I just re-watched 'The Other Sister'. I forgot how good it was....how good it is . Never mind the stellar performaces from Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribinisi (which I just have to mention because they're so damn awesome) The simplicity of the story, of the plot.  The simplicity of the characters.... ...it served as a reminder to me that sometimes all you really do need is love.  

*steps up on soap box, clearing throat*  Ahem..... I have occasion to watch 'Growing Up Gotti' last night.  I was disgusted. Short little Momma Gotti, with her fake boobs and fake hair and fake lips and fake tan, strutting her stuff in a skirt that's too short for a woman her age and her size, complaining about any and everyone like she's Queen Turd of Shit Hill.  Her boys, the most obnoxious, ill-mannered, idiotic kids who have to have everything they say subtitled because ...

Dave and I are watching 'The Surreal Life' re-run on VH1. Brigitte Nielsen - that chick that married Sylvester Stallone, that big Amazon-looking chick - is in it.  I have to say that time hasn't treated her well.....and she insists on walking around in nothing but a thing and grinding her crotch on and at everything that moves. She hits on men (and women) indiscriminately ..... she is, to be blunt, sickening.  Nasty.  She makes me cringe. Brigitt...

It would seem that Ms Lopez-Anthony is preggers, according to this report.... Link That'd explain why she got hitched in such a hurry.....but I have to say I find it laughably hypocritical that she claims to be a 'staunch Catholic'. Let's see...Regan died, people got blown up in Iraq, it was D-Day...but Jenny-with-the-big-bum gets married and in the family way and everything else pales into insignificance...heck, I'm even blogging about it! Sad...very sad.
