Bye Bye Lindsay!

I am not happy or sad that Lindsay Lohan is going back to jail. I think she needs to really just be put on a deserted island somewhere for 1 yr so she can think about how many chances people have given her and how she should turn her life around.
She seems to be desperate to want to be famous or "accepted" into the in crowd lifestyle. People mention her name and they are either shaking their heads or tsk tsk'ing her. Parents groan & younger people laugh at her. You can only give someone so many chances.

Let's hope it really is 120 days in jail.

5 Things That I hated about the Grammys

Let's just get right into this....

1) Lady GaGa's performance.... I happened to hear her new song on Itunes earlier that day & thought to myself, 'Wow, this song is too much like Madonna & too much electronica' Also, her vocals were pitchy as Randy Jackson would say & all around not very good. When she won for Best Pop Performance, she thanked Whitney Houston because she always pictured her singing that song because she never imagined herself singing it, she proclaimed. WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT???

2) The Smith Family.... I'm sorry but does any seem to think Will Smith and his family are annoying? I was told by a friend that Willow Smith proclaimed on the red carpet that 'all the Smiths have great confidence" when asked why it seemed like she has such great confidence... Don't try to make kids like Willow & Jaden some sort of musical prodigy. I can't stand obnoxious kids who act like they're know-it-alls. Also, hated when the camerman kept getting shots of Will & Jada in the audience proud of their son, which I'm not knocking they shouldn't be, but don't overdue it CBS.

3) Standing O's... Once again, it baffles me how the music industry determines who gets a standing O after a performance.. B.o.B, Bruno Mars & Janelle Monae: All talented in their own right but not so good performing last night yet a standing O.... Lady Antebellum sing eventually the winner of Song & Record of The Year and No standing O....Justin Bieber & Usher dance around like robots & sound mediocre, standing O.... Gwyneth Paltrow & Cee-Lo (black Elton John performing with the Muppets), a standing O..... John Mayer, Norah Jones & Keith Urban perform, No standing O... Eminem could get up to walk to the bathroom and he gets a Standing O...Bob Dylan, who is a legend I know, sounded like the worst I have ever heard. And it wasn't his usually sucking but his voice was so hoarse and froggy, it was embarrassing yet Standing O...... Theory is: Legends get Standing O's whether they stink or not, young black artists get Standing O's, even relatively unknowns like Esperanza Spalding (in my opinion is so talented that she could have won all the awards) and country artists usually do not...(Didn't see one for Miranda Lambert or Muse either)

4) Boring & Too long.... Usually the performances are memorable & sometimes even blow you away... Not this year, vocals were off and the songs were kind of boring... I fell alseep and woke up to people screaming for Eminem after winning the Best Rap album.. I thought for a second he may have won Album of the Year because it was just abut 11pm but they went to break and said More to come with.... At that point, I shut the TV off and went to bed...

5) J-Lo....She looked utterly bored and since she was in the front row, the camera kept panning past her.. If you're going to sit in the front row, put on a fake smile even though she was probably thinking, "Everyone of you would be voted off Idol because you stink", and just enjoy the show....

That's all for now....

My Black Friday Experience

Who doesn't want bargains? But who wants to get up at 2am in the morning to get the deals for when stores open at 3am? NOT ME!!

So instead, I got up as if I was going to work and got out on the road around 7ish with my mom along. I head out to Dartmouth, MA where almost every store that had a sale was located. I was surprised to see not very many cars on the road until we hit the heart of Rte 6 in Dartmouth. First stop, TARGET!!!

Target's parking lot was pretty full and people weren't even bothering to look for spots because they were parking along the road even before the lot began. I said, "Screw that" and found a spot a few aisles away from the entrance. The lines were quite long and people's baskets were pretty full. Our mission was to find some Wii games my nephew wanted.

There were 3 Target employees standing around the electronics department talking about who the hell knows but they didn't seem very anxious to help anyone. I asked the young girl if she knew if they had a "build-it wii remote by Lego" and she looked at me like I had 2 heads. Her response was, "uh I don't know but you should ask the cashiers because they would know" Well, wouldn't you think she would know since she was working in that department? And if I had asked one of the cashiers I would have had to wait about 1/2 hr. So instead I ask this young guy and he walked over to the remotes looked once and went over and asked the same stupid girl who I asked. He comes back to me and says No, we don't. Obviously her opinion changed from 'I don't know' to 'No'. Found out later that it is sold exclusively at Toys R Us.

Next stop, Dick's Sporting Goods where it was dead as anything. Maybe because their coupons were spend $150 and get a $25 gift card or Buy $75 and get 5% off. Well maybe not that much off but our main reason was to search for duck shoes. No one sells them in stores anymore. Yes, they sell the boots but not the shoes. Oh yes, Land's End & LL Bean sell them for $85 & up but really? Too much.

So we drive off to the Mall. Parking was easy and as we happily set off to enter, a family of loons is walking out the entrance. I say Loons because that is the nicest word I can think of. It first got my attention at , "Shut the F Up". I couldn't tell if it was a father or some random guy but this man told this teenager to,"Shut the F Up" and then as a woman had her arm around this young girl, she spewed back, "F You" and another girl got in on it and shouted, "You shut the F Up" and then he shouted, "Shut the F Up". It was quite the scene. So anyway, after we recovered from our shock, we entered the mall and this security guard was walking briskly towards the Loons. Then all of a sudden 3 other security guards talking in their 2 ways were walking briskly towards the entrance. I should have filmed it and posted it on here but I didn't want to waste my time. That started us off with a bang.

Next stores, OLYMPIA - bought nothing, OLD NAVY - got some bargains for the kids, MACY's.. Let me tell you about MACY's. They always screw you over with the coupons they send you. Get 20% off when you spend $50. That doesn't sound bad does it? Well, if you flip the coupons over, it reads Excludes: Everyday Values, specials, Super Buys, cosmetics, fragrances, electrics & electronics, furniture, designer handbags, watches, Coach, Dooney & Burke, Levi's, Lacoste, Polo, Waterford Crystal, etc Basically any famous brand name you can think of is on the back. So my mom buys me a present for xmas and she tries to use one of the other coupons that they put in the Thanksgiving Day paper. The young man tells us, "Oh Sorry, you cannot use any of the coupons on the Early Bird specials" WHAAATTTTTTTTT?? Isn't the whole point of Black Friday, getting up early and shop for the early bird specials? Why put out the coupons in the newspaper and then say you can't use them? MACY's is good every once in a blue moon but on the most part, they will screw you when it counts. I also think it depends on the store and the salesperson. Some let you use it and others do not.

JC PENNY - Nothing, SEARS - Nothing, BATH & BODY - a little somethin' somethin'.

We left that mall and went to KOHL's. That place was crazy as well and I bought a few things there and the lines were ridiculous but because KOHL's is so well organized, the lines moved so quick, you didn't have to wait long at all. CHRISTMAS TREE SHOP - not that crowded but next time, if you have a coupon, extend it through Noon at least.

Lunch finally. 5 GUYS BURGERS & FRIES takeout. Drive home and rest up for my 2nd wind. TJ MAXX, WALMART and B&N. Done!

Except for the Loons & MACY's, it was all in all, a pretty good experience...


Oops I almost forgot the best deal of the day! the GAP had 50% the entire store until 10am. How cool is that? That was the best deal of the day. More stores should have stepped up to the plate like the GAP because it was well worth waiting 20 minutes in line to get to the counter..

Rhea's Inn & Restaurant - 4/27/10 - Review

Driving down West Main Rd., I have passed Rhea's many times, not even considering to stop in but today was another story. Advertised as "The Best Kept Secret in Newport", three of us from my workplace decided we would venture to this inn on the highway for lunch.
As we entered the bar/dining area, the two employees looked shocked that we had entered the place, as if to say, "Oh we actually have a customer?" The woman told told us we could sit anywhere we wanted so we chose a table by the window facing the street. The woman was very pleasant & took out drink orders. Breakfast is served till 1pm and the lunch menu is basic.
I ordered a Italian grinder w/out onions & fries, K. ordered two eggs & corned beef hash & J ordered a chef salad. My roll was really soft and didn't have the usual hard grinder crunch to it which I enjoyed. K. said her breakfast plate was really tasty and J's salad was good. The only complaint was that our waitress was the cook as well and she took too much time in between refilling our drinks.
I enjoyed my meal and for $8, my meal might have been a tad overpriced but it was good. All in all, I would say, try Rhea's out because the food and service are pretty damn good.

Crystal Bowersox - Midnight Train to Georgia - Top 10 Performance

Yeah she's my favorite. Hands down..

Seinfeld Bloopers - Season 6 (1/3)

Just wanted to share some memories of my favorite show of all time.

LOST vs GLEE

Why couldn't Fox leave Glee on Wednesday nights when it comes back for its Spring return on April 13th? No, I had to hear about it from my friend Sharon at a bar where I almost spit out my drink in her face!

C'mon Fox! I have my set shows each night. Now Lost is in its final season and I always have to get my Lost fix live not taped. Glee will now be moving to Tuesday nights after American Idol. Yeah well, Idol is on Wednesdays too, isn't it?

And some people right about now are thinking, well why can't I DVR or record it right? Well, because I actually can't afford cable and my TV is old so I have the digital converter. Well, the digital converter does not allow you to watch one program and tape something else on a different channel. So yes, my life is a little sad & pathetic.

So this is my public plea to FOX, please move it back to its original timeslot on Wednesday nights so I can watch my GLEE.

One eskimO - Kandi [JMFHQ109]

I love the sample of the Patsy Cline's cover. Now I know I hate sampling of other songs in music but this just is too good

Lost - theories & speculations

(photo courtesy of: ABC/Touchstone)

From the noggin' of Weezy Widmore, here are her thoughts on the Season 6 Lost premiere & some spoilers (all credit goes to Weezy, not me)

1. alternate timeline and flash-sideways like Freddie thought--i think we saw part of the season finale--now we just have to watch and find out how it happened..
2. des on the plane----- and then disappears----some type of conscientiousness event
3. everything is alittle different on the plane----jack is nervous, rose is not. hurly is lucky. Shannon is not there, the writers have said that this is significant.
4. Juliet ? conscience trip--- will she someday have coffee with sawyer? she said "it worked"
5. Jacobs list????
6. sayid/fayid now Jacob---the writers said no
7.richard in chains?????
8 mib wants to go home? the temple
9. jack always trying to fix things!!!!!!!! now paralysed Locke
and now a little bit of next week
Next Week Will Blow You Away: After you see the final 10 minutes of next week's episode, it will become increasingly clear what the entire final season of Lost is leading up to. (I smell a war coming on!)

Get Ready for Two Surprising Reappearances: (1) A certain someone you thought was dead will be back, and how he or she returns, and what it means for the future of the other Losties on the island, will have your brain spinning. (2) Someone else appears in Los Angeles next week that I did not know was returning at all, and it's awesome.

There Will Be Some Shipper Moments Next Week: Kate will have a tender moment with Jack, and she'll also have a revealing moment with Sawyer, and there will definitely be some clear indication as to where the romantic storylines (or lack thereof) will be heading this season.

Richard Alpert Was a Slave?! The SMIB mentioned that Richard was in chains. There has long been talk that crew of the Black Rock (allegedly a mining vessel) were slaves, and when we've visited the ship in the past, skeletons were found shackled together. So was Alpert on the Black Rock? The good news is we will find out. Nestor Carbonell tells me: "You're going to get all your answers: Why doesn't he age? Where's he from? What his powers might be? Who he is? And there is one specific episode that deals with all of that. I was blown away by what they wrote." Can. Not. Wait.

Claire and Sayid Will Have Something in Common. Something big.

10 Things I Didn't Like About The Golden Globes

1. It was on the same time as 24 Season Premeire

2. Billy Bush's stupid red carpet questions. Ex: Mickey Rourke & his date

3. Patricia Arquette never learns from her past fashion mistakes

4. Golden Globe Girl was stiff as a robot

5. Drew Barrymore's babbling

6. Harrison Ford scared me. Was he stoned, drunk or just becoming an old man?

7. Ashton Kutcher's hairdo

8. It took too long for the winners to get to the stage.

9. Jane Lynch didn't win

10. Not enough Ricky Gervais

Hiatus...

TV has been really terrible for me this year with a few exceptions like Glee, Fringe & The Office. I'm not talking cable shows which incl. Dexter, Weeds & Curb, which I can't wait to watch on DVD as soon as their latest season is released.

Around the holidays is the worst time for TV. I swear I haven't watched anything good lately. I did watch an episode of New Adventurs of Old Christine a few times. That show is actually funny but I always forget it's on. I have to watch Modern Family because I hear it's a riot. I like more of the sarcastic type humor rather than the straight out, stupid/corny jokes, audience laughter show.

24 is coming in January. Lost is coming in February. I know I will try not to watch American Idol cause it gets on my nerves but I'm sure I'll get sucked in and that starts in January. I missed the entire season of Law & Order: SVU because of Glee. I love that show. Let's hope I can catch the repeats when I'm bored. I've also read over 20 books this year. That's impressive for me because usually i never finish a goal I set for myself like that.

But for now, I'llstick with reading until January. Just finished Agassi's new book. I never knew how depressed that guy was.... Pick it up if you want and interesting read.

Tiger Woods...Nominee for 2009 Loser of the Year!

How can anyone be that stupid? If he never wanted to get caught and i'm assuming he must have because he didn't seem to cover his tracks very well... Let's start with that voicemail message. Who leaves their name on the message if you are trying to be discreet? Who doesn't have caller id in this day and age? Never assume you can trust a cocktail waitress, no one would ever believe them that they were sleeping with you so they took assurances to prove it.

She kept over 300 text messages. Seriously, who does that? Someone who is obsessed and crazy (might be the same thing). Are we now going to see her on 20/20 with Barbara Walters? The first question from Barbara, "Why did you do it?" "He's a married man" and then blah blah blah.... then comes the money demands and maybe even a book deal.. We will soon be inundated with the names Rachel Uchitel, Kalika Moquin and Jamie Grubbs...

I think Jamie Grubbs will be the most famous of them all. Her name is easy to remember and she was the smart, crazy one. She kept the messages & voicemails. It's her chance to breakout from the reality tv world of Tool Academy to her current position of Homewrecker.

How many more women will now say they had an affair with Tiger Woods? As for the picture, I received this from a friend in my email, it was obviously photoshopped. I kind of wish that Elin swung a little harder, maybe as she is kicking him out of the house...

Where the hell have I been?

I haven't written since Sept. 11th? Apparently, I have been lazy...

Only 6 weeks till xmas and I haven't even begun to make copies of my infamous xmas cd. What's a girl to do?

Run down of TV shows.... The Office seems much funnier than last season... Have yet to watch Modern Family but I hear it's hysterical...

Glee had their "afterschool special episode" this week. Still love the show...

New Adventurs of Old Christine has a great cast and is really funny. Yes a Seinfeld character has made a good show...

Tried to watch Flash Forward but couldn't keep up...I kept getting distracted...

Fringe is so good.. Walter Bishop is such a great character...Olivia is a little too monotone for me but still enjoy it...


And on another note, why the hell is the movie Precious not showing anywhere in New England until Nov. 20th and even that is too far away to see it?


Ok, I'm out....

9/11: Have You Forgotten

The images

S. Williams vs. Clijsters - US Open Semi-finals

Of course this should be the final but they were unfortunately in the same half of the bracket.

Why Serena will win: Let's face it, she's the number 1 player in the world. She wins every major tournament. Have you seen her arms? Her fans want to see her win her 3rd major of the year.

Why Serena will lose: It's the comeback of Kim Clijsters! She retired in 2007 to have a baby and now is kicking ass through the US Open tournament. Weird stat: If she wins the tournament, she'll be the first player that has a child when winning..


Kim Clijsters was my favorite player and now she's back. You can only guess who I'm rooting for.

Rapid Cell Regeneration

All I can say is this is crazy cool!

Michael Jackson Memorial - 3 things

Starting off with Mariah Carey would make anyone want to change the channel. It's apparent it's not the same Carey of her glory days because there was no high notes to be had.

Al Sharpton shouting and getting a rise out of a crowd is what he does best. "What nuttin' strange about your Daddy! What was strange is what he had to deal with everyday!" Only Sharpton can make it a classic.

And last but not least, Paris Jackson's touching words at the end, "She misses her Daddy". It was pretty sad and I felt a tear or two build up...

That should be the end of MJ's news coverage but WAIT!..... there is now a tribute planned for August.... in London...

Why America's Got Talent is so terrible!

I think Britain's Got Talent has tainted America's Got Talent so badly this year that nothing can live up to the expectations of that show. Everything from the camera angles, to the shots of the so-called surprised looking audience members to the stupid looks on Nick Cannon's face to the stupid things that come out of David Hasselhoff's mouth. This show is really bad.

I thought I would give it a try because of the mere fact the worst shows air during the summer so maybe they would have some good talent. I mean they are letting people pass through to Vegas who really aren't that good.

And what they show is shown so quickly with some music montage that you really don't get to enjoy it. I think I only enjoyed 3 acts so far, the dog who caught frisbees, the Voice of Glory kids whose mom is in a wheelchair and those kids who did hip-hop tap/step dancing.

Stop showing stupid Nick Cannon backstage or in the rafters and his raised eyebrows, his look of "Yo! this stinks". His dumb comments

And David Hasselhoff. Why is he a judge? He think practically everything is great. The Polish violin triplets who could play violin but to me sounded not so great when they sang. He liked them because they were very pretty. He couldn't stop shouting, "Yeah Alright, Alright" when they walked on the stage. And his favorite phrase, "You guys are what this show is all about!" Ughhhh

So far, Britain's Got the Talent and America doesn't...

2 yr. old with pacifiers & other things

What is it with moms who give their children pacifiers when they are 2 yrs old and up? I always see that Jayden James Federline or Spears with that thing in his mouth. It's really not necessary, is it? Stick his fingers in his mouth or something...

Also, what is with people who wear those knit hats in the summer? I am looking at US Weekly right now and there is a picture of Zac Efron at Childrens Hospital in LA and he has this winter hat on. Did he have a bad hair day?

And just above his pic, is T-Pain with the biggest diamond gold chain I have ever seen and appropriately it says "BIG ASS CHAIN". Kind of funny...

I am sick of Kate Goesselin, Who the hell are you anyway? Wow! You have sextuplets and 2 other kids & now you have a TV show. Get your life together woman! Jesus, concentrate on those kids, not your stupid TV show..

The Hills. Here's an instance when I am grateful I don't have cable. I hear about LC, Stephanie Pratt, Heidi & Spencer Pratt (who Cheslsea Handler aptly calls the "2 biggest assholes on the planet"). I can read about them all over the internet & in magazines and still don't care who the hell they are or who they have dated. GO AWAY!

Lindsay who?
Paris who?

Oh, by the way, did I mention Sptephanie Pratt says The Hills has made her bulimic! She was repulsed by her 108lbs on TV and thougth she should lose another 10 lbs. I may gorge myself with food just from reading this sob story. BOO HOO!

Has anyone been watching the train wreck, Help I'm a Celebrity Get Me Outta Here! I turn it on and then I can't look away. I really didn't know who anyone was except for Sanjaya, Stephen Baldwin, John Salley and Janice Dickinson (man what happened to her face). Who is Torrie and Patty?

Heads up! All you Saved by The Bell fans out there, they are looking to do a reunion, only Tiffani Thiessen and Dustin "Screech" Diamond are the only holdouts. This is one of my Top 3 worst shows of all time! Along with Who's The Boss & Full House...

What's with Rihanna's hair lately? It looks like a giant mohawk. Not so good for someone who is so gorgeous...

When it comes to boyfriends, Drew Barrymore is more indecisive than Jen Clark is deciding on a sandwich for lunch and if you knew Jen, then you know had bad that is.

Saw thousands of people on the Today Show this morning for the Jonas Brothers concert. To this day, I don't know any of their songs. It reminds me of the Hanson phenomenon.

Jennider Aniston's every move is a highlight of some magazine/TV. I can't imagine how hard it is for her when it comes to privacy.

Looking forward to seeing the film Precious: Based on a novel by Sapphire. Watch the preview on AOL Movies under Coming Soon. I cried. Mo'Nique stars in it and I bet she gets nominated for an Oscar. It looks really good. I think Oprah & Tyler Perry backed this film...Tearjerker all the way..

Song of the moment: Evil Woman by Mike Posner & The Brain Trust. Yes it samples ELO's Evil Woman but when don't songs these days either sample or remake hit songs. There really is a lack of originality these days. There are alot of hip hop artists on the Top 10 charts, in my opinion, that are horrific. Examples: Pitbull, Kid Cudi but the worst is Soulja Boy Tell 'Em.

Soulja Boy Tell 'Em... this is absolutely the worst group. It's a shame a group can sound so awful and make millions of dollars. I'm almost tempted to put a record out of my own...

Well, enough rantin' & ravin', I'm out! Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

So You Think You Can Dance

Th hit reality show sort of based on American Idol is probably the only new show I have watched this Summer (late Spring).

The dancers are really talented but the judges are the most annoying and kind of full of themselves...

For instance, the one I can't stand the most is Mia Michaels. I saw one episode where she told this kid she didn't get him at all, thought his smile was fake and didn't see what all the fuss was about. Who the hell is she again?

Then they have Lil' C as a judge. Huh?

Debbie Allen - Who doesn't know who she is? She is the most credible judge up there. I obviously don't know much about the dance industry but come on, it's Debbie Allen.


Also, judge Mary Murphy and that horrifying scream. It's insane...

Nygel Lythgoe is the Simon Cowell judge but he doesn't appear to be as rude.

I have no idea who Adam Shankman is...well he is a choreograher of dance...


I'm not sure what the rest of you think but if the judges were on mute then the show would be a whole lot better..
