why aren't you watching?

My tuesday nights have gotten a whole lot busier. It used to be the only night I didn't watch tv. But I am current suffering a wealth of riches on Tuesday.

Here is the break down, and by the by if you aren't watching you totally should be.

Lost, Parenthood, Justified

I am done preaching to the Lost choir, if you aren't into the show yet I hate to admit it but it is way to late to catch up before the series finale in may. So it sucks to be you, just keep watching Idol or dancing with the stars.

Parenthood: while in college I took an awesome psych class where I was compelled to watch Parenthood, the movie, multiple times and write a paper about it. It was like the best class ever, I got to watch movies, for HOMEWORK. The TV show is a update reinvention. It is sorta adorable and serious all at once. Plus Lauren Graham is in it. How can you go wrong? You can't!

Justified- The best television show I have seen in ages, maybe even ever. I love every single second of it. It's a Good Guy/Bad Guy show done right. Timothy Olyphant (often confused for Josh Duhamel) is amazing. I have no clue why he isn't a bigger star. Because he is spot on as the US Marshall with a penchant for his cowboy hat and shooting bad guys.

It's a hit and miss thing....

My lovely sister Laura, has blogged and talked to me all about her netflix troubles. And wowee Do I completely understand. I usually get into a kick where I think one actor or actress is like the best thing since sliced bread and put all of their work in my netflix queue. Like everything. but weeks later, maybe even months, when they finally arrive at my home, I think maybe I shouldn't have picked all of Kate Winslet's work- because frankly a whole heck of a lot of it is depressing heavy stuff. I also find that I often pick really crappy weird independent films. So more often than not the stuff that arrives at home it pretty touch and go. But I have to say thanks to instant streaming I have discovered like at least 10 television shows that I LOVE LOVE now. Maybe it is just like everything else the more you try the more you succeed.

Silent Sunday better late than never

Film Friday

It is all about balance you see. This week I watched one very good movie. I.E. The Hurt Locker

And one definitely better than expected movie i.e. All about Steve
Taken separately one was to sobering to end the night, and one was to much fluff. If you haven't seen The Hurt Locker, you should. I have a feeling it is going to clean up at the Oscars. Plus I adore the leading man, and cameo from Lost's Kate, and it is a really sobering and impressive look at the kind of hostile environment the men and women of the US forces are facing over there.

All About Steve, left me more impressed and entertained than I thought it possibly could. Maybe I just have a soft spot of Sandra Bullock and useless information. But hey- I laughed, Shea laughed. No one cried.

Jealous Much?

Happy Birthday Shea!

It's official you are old balls now! Hahaha. Just remember how hung over you were in this picture? Now when you drink you will feel like this every time! That is right-being old has it perks! Thank you for joining me in in the 25 and older bracket! And for a bonus only you will understand "I believe in you, and you can do anything!"

I like where you are going with this...

Where I am going is: The Olympics. The winter ones, you know the ones that open tonight and start tomorrow. I am excited about this. Not only because it is actually super cool to be able to say I am going to the Olympics- hopefully everyone will think that you are actually IN the Olympics. But also I use any excuse possible to leave the country and get stamps in my passport. I will be traveling with 3 other lovely ladies. We leave bright and early Monday and I am looking for any and all book suggestions for my trip! I tend to pick super sad and depressing books, like the kind that makes you cry uncontrollably on forms of public transportation. Any good reads out there? Leave some love!
