Fall preview for Television part 2

This post is about my reactions to the new Fall Lineup. Y'all probably don't care but it'll help me think it through and get ready to program my DVR since there's no way I'm going to sit through commercials. There are few things I love more than the auto-skip commercials function on my ReplayTV unit.

Thursday:

Returning shows are ER, Joey (yes, I actually like it though it's kinda dumb), and Will&Grace. As for the new shows, I'll give Reunion a try though I'm not very optimistic. And also Everybody Hates Chris. I can't stand Chris Rock's voice but everything I've heard points to this being a wonderful show so I'll endure his voice! I've not seen the last 3 shows of ER from last season but they're sitting on my ReplayTV hard drive so I'll watch them before the first show of the new season...

Friday:

I was one of the few people that liked Numbers on CBS so I'll probably watch that along with Malcolm in the Middle. The new shows I'm interested in are only iffy ones. Threshold, a science fictiony aliens among us show, and Three Wishes which is a do-goody type show that normally sets my teeth on edge.... but it stars Amy Grant and I can tell you I know what my first wish would be! *blush* Despite the eye candy I doubt I'll do more than catch a few minutes--to increase my pulse rate a bit--every month or so.



Saturday:

Absolutely DEAD!

I love the "absolutely dead" comment on Saturday. Last year was the same. In fact, other than when they had Hack and The District on CBS, I probably didn't watch much of anything on Saturdays for years.

I saw Reunion tonight. The verdict is still out on that, but I'll record next week's episode too and then decide. I didn't hate it as I'm thinking I might where a few of the shows you mentioned are concerned.

I liked Numbers. But I am still mad that Joan of Arcadia being. I mean we are in the middle of a major cliff hanger here! Jeez!

I also am a big fan of Numbers. Also, I was jolted awake by the theme song of Amy Grant's show. The song was "Dream Big" by a cool bunch of guys Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband. I've seen them a couple of times, and they just signed a record deal. Amazing musicians.

I don't have alot of hope for the fall season. Seems like a bunch of the same shows we've seen before, just have new actors playing the same roles and changed the titles. Ugh.

I posted a bunch of drink recipes this week per your request.

Teresa, yes, Saturdays are dead but that's why I have a DVR so that I can watch the shows when I want to so that Saturdays can have any show I want to. *evil chuckle*

Nancy, I only saw the first episode of Joan of Arcadia though Teresa, posting above you, kept trying to get me to watch it. I'm sorry they ended it on a cliffhanger though I've heard that it's possible to come back midseason-- just like Scrubs will on NBC.

Sophie, I'm glad to hear that there's at least two of us for Numbers. I never seem to hear any buzz about it at work unlike so many more popular shows. :-(

Michelle, thanks for the notice about the drinks at your site. I'll wander over this afternoon. Ethanol can be so nice, especially when there's fresh sugar involved!

I'm thinking of boycotting all television until they officially retire so-called reality TV. It's about as close to reality as Entertainment Tonight is entertaining.

Back from Michele's. Keep the TV thoughts coming...everyone's got an opinion on 'em!

Reunion sounds like a Lost makeover. I am looking forward to Benjamin Bratt's new show just to see mr. hottie regularly.

started watching Reunion, but an errand got in the way and I missed the bottom half of the premier. I'll definitely give it another chance.

I thought the first episode of Reunion was very good. I will be keeping up with it this season.

I saw Amy Grant in concert in 1984 (over twenty years ago) and she just gets cuter. How does that work?

I think she's just adorable. Age doesn't seem to matter. I first noticed her when a Christian friend of mine tried to get me to listen to Christian music and used Amy Grant as the vehicle. A few years after that she started doing cross-over pop songs but I was long hooked by then. The music, not the religion.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
