For Your Viewing Pleasure

So as everyone enters into their weekends - here are a few new summer programs that have been entertaining me.  Some I'm more embarrassed about than others.  And some are old favorites and some are brand new (at least for me)!

RHONJ & RHOOC - ok seriously I know these are old faves, but both of these seasons have been amaze!  I'm really loving them and I've been bored slightly in the past.  One of my fave moments was the ski slope fight on RHOOC - I mean who can really take anyone seriously in ski goggles?!  I was dying. 

 

 

And on NJ - shiz is getting rulll - rull quick.  Rosie is like front and center this season and a few of the others have taken a much needed back seat. 

America's Got Talent - there I said it.  I admit I kinda like it - it's grown on me.  I think the judges really interact well and the acts have been kinda incredible.  I think my favorite right now is Collins Key - he's such a cutie! 

 

And I do love  a few of the kids acts and the one comedian that is so dry and awkward you just can't help but laugh.

Below Deck - now this is actually a really bad show - but it's like a train wreck, I really can't help it!  Every week I need to find out what happens on the next episode!

Camp - this is another new one that is really kind of growing on me.  And it's not reality TV, so there's that.  But it's cute and mindless, so you need a few of those in the rotation.

The Vineyard - now I've only seen one episode of this, mainly because there's only been one, but it's terrible.  So basically that means it's right up my alley.  It's another reality one that takes place on Marth's Vineyard and all the people work at Black Dog.  It's very intellectual and deep.

Princesses of Long Island - I can't.  This show - ridic. 

 

 

It's so grating and their voices drive me bananas, but it's just that ridiculous that you can't not watch.  Some of the lines on it are priceless and so obscene - aka "only poor people mix cheeses" - like what does that even mean?! 

 

It's beyond not only offensive but doesn't make sense and just ridiculous.  And one of their boyfriends I'm pretty sure is gay, so they need to check on that. 

And of course the tried & trues like the Kardashians - loving Brody's involvement this season!  Giuliana & Bill - so glad these 2 are back!  I just can't help but love them!  And Duke - what a cutie - so happy!!  It just doesn't get old for me.  It's been a lil more "hokey"/staged this season than I like, but obvi still gonna watch it.  And Franklin & Bash which has just added on Heather Locklear - it's great as per usual.  Happy viewing!!  AND HAPPY FRIDAY!!

 

Some Housekeeping Items

Ok so a few quick things that need to be discussed…

1.  I saw  "Pitch Perfect" and I'm completely obsessed.  Here are some takeaways:

- I want to marry the lead actor/character - his name is Skylar Astin.  

I've never really seen him before this, apparently he had a cameo on "Girls" (HBO).  Umm it's not normal how obsessed I am with him - I'm like a love struck teen.  And it's not even like he's the hottest thing around - his personality in this movie is just perfect.

- I love Rebel Wilson.  

She is a comedic genius and is really going places.  I think she's completely hilar and I want to be her friend.

- I awkwardly admitted afterwards that I wanted to watch it again and write down all the songs they performed so I can go buy the ones I don’t have.  It was like a blast from the past that I thoroughly enjoyed.

- I can't wait to see this again.  I need to watch a second time to capture things that I missed while I was laughing.

- Why are you still reading this and not running to your theatre to see it?!

2.  Is it weird that I didn't watch the debates last night (expect 10 minutes) and instead thought that "Giuliana & Bill" would be more important?!  I’m kinda over all this political stuff - I just want November to be here so I don’t have to deal anymore!  I mean you all know I'm overly obsessed with America - but all this back and forth and lying/not lying craziness is driving me nuts!

3.  My sister is getting married next weekend!!  AHHHHH!!! I can't believe it's almost here!!  I have a backless dress (I know major scandy) and I'm thinking of wearing my hair like so…how do we feel about it??

4.  I had another annoying "people don’t understand special issues" the other day.  I was on the bus and there were open seats everywhere.  I sat down on the end seat, so there were 2 seats to my right.  This woman gets on and sits directly next to me.  And then puts her bag on the seat next to her.  

Umm really?!  Why are you on top of me?!?!  I was like heavy breathing mad.

5.  The Real Housewives reunions were hella nuts!  NJ and NY are two of my faves and both just wrapped this past week.  I don’t even know where to go!  All I can say is - omg Joe Gorga was a stripper - dying.  Teresa needs to check herself.  Ramona is still Ramona.  I love Heather.  Jacqueline needs to stay awake.  I wish Kathy didn't get a nose job - she didn't need it!  Caroline - preach is sista.  Andy - you are a saint. 

Ok so that's all for now.  One more thing - I'm back on the exercise circuit.  Don’t worry the desk person at the gym gave me a "judgy" look when I checked in yesterday.  You don’t know my life - stand back!

Good Morning!!

Three quick things about my day so far. It's only 10 am and it's already interesting.

1. Confession. I left my house this morning in such a whirlwind. Do you ever have those days? I had plenty of time and then all of a sudden I was late. I was running around like an idiot and trying to through an outfit together - which I don't even think looks good - but meh - it's Thursday. I finally depart my apartment - lock the door - elevator - good morning to my doorman - start my trek. I'm about 5 blocks in when I realize that in my haste I forgot a majorly important thing. Like very major. I forgot to BRUSH MY TEETH!!!

WTF is wrong with me?! And the weirdest thing is that literally the other day while walking to work I thought to myself "wouldn't it be weird if you forgot to brush your teeth?!" - just little inner-monologues I have with myself. And it happened!! I was so mortified. I pretty much figured that everyone on the street knew of my poor hygiene. I never forget to do that - its just obviously part of my routine! So I ran myself into the next CVS I saw and grabbed those new disposable toothbrushes and about 4 other things I realized I needed. Got into my office without speaking to anyone and quickly whipped them out. They actually work fairly well. I mean - if you're in a pinch! I wouldn't use them as my regular toothbrush - but I now have 4 "extras" in my desk - just in case!

2. Piano Man. As I was mortifyingly walking to work this morning I saw something else that made me less embarrassed about myself. There was a man walking towards me in a suit with his head phones on (ummm totally dating myself - I should have said "iPod on") and he was full out playing the air piano.

Basically practicing his skills while walking. I'm all for "2 birds 1 stone" - but seriously - in the middle of the sidewalk you need to play your piano?! And I'm not talking just "pretending" to play - he was full on "playing" certain keys, pedal, etc. The best part is that no one really even flinched. You gotta love New York!

3. Blue Man Group. Also while on my crusade to the office - I passed another man in an interesting get-up. He was fully decked out - feeling his best - thinking he was the shiz - in an electric blue/cobalt suit.

Who wears that?! I mean I know I prob shouldn't be judging on people's attire - those in glass houses and all - but where do you work where that would be an appropriate outfit for the "office"?! And where does one even find such a thing?! It literally blinded me! So bright - and it was too early for something so bright to be in my face.

Hopefully this day will get a little less weird. I mean maybe I got all the "weirdness" out first thing - instead of being spread out through my day! I'm just glad it's Thursday - one more day and then a THREE DAY WEEKEND!!! Yee-ha! (Ummm I'm a little embarrassed about that - but not enough to delete it - sorry I'm not sorry.)
