Survivor Jimmy Johnson

It’s bad enough TW got me addicted to Survivor way back in 2002, now here I am looking forward to tomorrow’s debut with Jimmy freaking Johnson on the “old folks” team.

WTH.

I should be running so far in the opposite direction of this show … but I’m not. I cannot wait. And I’m hoping Jimmy Johnson kicks some serious ass.

You’re scared, aren’t you? It’s ok. I’m scaring myself here.

Quick Question for the Masses

I thought I was going to post a real blog post but Surfette didn’t text me and tell me to write so I just kept on working and I’m still working and will probably still be working two hours from now.

I do however want to take a minute to ask a very important question…

Which one of you sent TW a Slingbox?

A package arrived yesterday (or maybe it was late last week?) and I thought it was that last thing for Prince J that didn’t arrive in time for Christmas so I didn’t bother opening it. As I was talking on the phone some time this afternoon, I glanced at the box and saw “Sling” and thought “Huh. Why would that box say “Sling”?” So I hung up and opened the box.

Slingbox. Which was on TW’s wishlist but since she doesn’t watch TV, Santa did not bring it. So which one of you sent it? Who do I kill thank?

Now, back to work I go.

New series for Lauren Graham

Lauren Graham on NBC.

So if you look at the comments over there, right now there are four I think, one is suggesting Kelly Bishop play her mother. That’s insane. You cannot do that. As much as I love both actresses, together and separately, you can’t put them back in a mother daughter relationship. Hell I don’t even think you can put them on the screen together. It just screams GGs and GGs is no more, it’s time to move on.

On the other hand, Lauren Graham as a hot cop… OMG… a fantasy come true. Totally. Just don’t bring Scott Patterson in to play some low life thug or restaurant owner who serves her coffee and donuts – again folks, I know it is hard but it is time to let it go.

I’m a lame date. And also, old

Prince J and I had a date last night. As TW says, it was our dream date. Which isn’t quite accurate but close or maybe not so close if you ask the Prince. He was a little annoyed with me and will probably choose another date in the future – one who has more stamina than I do. Particularly when it comes to Star Wars.

The evening started well. The little kids were gone, gone I sayyyyyy hahahahhaha, errrr, yea they were gone and we were happy. Michelle was invited to join our date but she graciously declined and instead stayed in her room pacing the floor for 3 1/2 hours waiting for TW to come home. Perfect atmosphere – no little kids and Michelle quietly stewing upstairs.

We had the perfect meal. Grilled cheese and salt n vinegar chips and Dr Pepper (which has become Prince J’s favorite soda – he’s channeling Chris now that Chris has moved out?). After dinner, without little kids interrupting our fascinating conversation or TW asking ridiculous questions and expecting an actual answer, we moved to the living room. I unplugged the turtle’s filter because it is LOUD and then put The Empire Strikes Back into the DVD player.

This might actually be the perfect movie for our date night. “I am your father!” “Come to the dark side!” – two often quoted phrases in this house. Prince J and I both prefer the “bad guys” over the good guys in this movie. The Princess is an idiot and Lando Calrissian, well I can’t say what I think in mixed company but it has to do with male anatomy and a large dull knife… Luke is just a wuss and I have no idea why anyone would give that boy any power much less “The Force!” So yea, Prince J and I made fun of various characters, questioned the plot line and the cinematography.

And then it was over. And a great success. But here’s the bad part, the part that makes me old and lame. Prince J was all set to watch Return of the Jedi. I got queasy and a little pale and then turned green at the idea of trying to sit through another 2 hours of Star Wars. Errr sorry dude, I am old and we can’t stay up all night. My goal is to actually WATCH these, not sleep through them as I’ve done off and on for 20 years.

Prince J hmphed, grumbled about my age and how long it was going to take us to make it through four more Star Wars movies and shuffled upstairs to his room where I’m sure he opened some secret blog and ranted about me for hours to a bunch of 13 year olds. Or maybe he didn’t since I redeemed myself a bit by offering him a Krispy Kreme to make up for it.

Dexter, OMG this is the most awesome thing EVER

You know I love Dexter, the book and the Dexter Showtime version. It’s almost time for Dexter to start again and that’s cool but there’s something even more fascinating.

You can send a personalized video to your friends that indicates the Ice Truck Killer’s next victim is the person you sent the message to. I’m serious. Try it. This is the most amazing thing EVER.

The Ice Truck Killer is going to get YOU next… don’t believe me, go look and watch all the way through… or else…

Thanks to TV Squad – y’all are awesome.

7th Voyage of Sinbad!

Man I loved that movie when I was a kid. I think I saw it at the theater a half dozen times (My mother was a good woman, well she still is but she drove me and my brother and my friends across the Ashley before the days of the Mark Clark aka 526 to the Ultravision Theater – does that theater still exist? I don’t remember seeing it on Sam Rittenburg last week. Anyway, she drove us and came back and picked us up – over and over again.)

Sinbad is dead. Man I’m old.
