Fey is GOD

Cant say enough.

TV REVIEW

Its that time again, the fall season has begun. And for people such as myself (tv junkie) it is GO time. I'm taking on a big load this fall, with all these new shows and returning shows. I don't know how I will have time to watch them all. Worst case scenario i'll just watch them online. But I doubt i'll get to see half of what I want to see.

The Office- Crazy people who think they are normal working in an office. Shenanigans will ensue.

Heroes- People with powers! What can be cooler?

Ugly Betty- Funny looking girl working for a magazine; guilty pleasure.

Greys Anatomy- I saw the season premier last night, Its definitely going down hill. 60 year old princesses crash into a hospital.
Hmm?

E.R.- I can't believe this show is getting cancelled. Dark drama about doctors in Chicago. Nothing better. Uncle Jesse is a doctor on this show!!!

Desperate Housewives- Ummm, menopausal women making their husbands crazy; No thanks.

Kath & Kim- Daughter breaks up with husband; moves in with mom; mom recently single; Molly Shannon+Selma Blair! Anytime thanks! Bring it.

Brothers and Sisters- Another crazy family. Its like the Brady bunch on crack.

Pushing Daisies- This show was barely given a chance. Kristen Chenoweth? Yes please!

Private Practice- Oh! for the love of spinoffs!

30 Rock- Another favorite returns. Tina Fey! Alec Baldwin. Gimme more. Shes deliciously hilarious.

Sarah Silverman Show- Whaatta Beotch. Whatta Funny lady.

SNL- Amy Poehler is about to leave. But not to worry, Kristen Wiig is ready and willing to step up to the plate. Shes got the chops and all the experience to be the star of that show. Lets not forget Will Forte, Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen (Nicolas Fehn anyone?) and newcomer Casey Williams is a hoot.

So that about wraps it up. In the past I would try to watch all these shows but my busy schedules will deny my this pleasure. So I will pick three shows that I will watch and those are the ones that I will review at the end of the TV season.

Fuck Bush

Nuff Said

She's Lost It

But did Sarah Palin ever have it. I just finished watching a piece on CNN with Anderson Cooper and they noticed that she was very nervous and showed a lack of confidence during her interview with Katie Couric. According to Sarah, the close proximity of Russia to Alaska gives her the foreign policy experience that Obama doesn't have. That is ludicrous, even more so its mind boggling to think that Sarah Palin's handlers would even let her answer such a question. By no means am I on her side. But I noticed that at the beginning of her campaign where Mr. Bush presented her to the world her presence screamed confidence. Now, as expected she has succumb to the political pressure and complete exploitation of her private life. This just goes to prove my point that the republicans choice of candidates are supremely under qualified.
Just needed to get that off my chest.



Where is this country heading?!!!!

Washington Mutual just went under. I know a few people that have accounts there. According to CNN many branches will close. But not to worry, everyones money is safe. Nevertheless, I would suggest moving your money to another bank. But who am I to judge on the economy.

Bloggin' Around

The day has been, what can I say? Eventful.
Went to the gym at around 12. 2 Hour Workout!
Woot Woot!

Photobooth with Jo! We must be bored.

On a pathetic note; our economy is down the drain. Apparently the 700 billion bailout could actually total a staggering 1.2 trillion dollars. Is this how our government protects us. A pointless war with Iraq. About 5 covert wars that we don't even know about. Gas is still expensive. I think electing this "president" will go down in history as one of americas biggest blunders.
I wonder how it would have been with Al Gore. We'll never know.
What do I have to look forward to trying to make a living in the United States? A shitty economy, who knows what kind of president McCain or Obama will be. Its so bleak.
Nevertheless I remain the eternal optimist and hope for the best for this great nation.
How bad could it get? Well that remains to be seen.

Say Whoa

Here is a song for the runners out there. Its 42 minutes long and lets gets you pumped up for your run.

Running Man: By A-Trak

This is the shortened club version but its still got all the best beats.

Get it on itunes!

Check him out!

You know, not Alec.

I ran in to this guy at LAX yesterday.

I said to myself "I know who that is!". But I couldn't quite pin him down. I knew he was one of the Baldwin brothers. Only I didn't know which one. Of course I knew it was not Alec. So the next best guess would have to be Stephen.
I know this barely qualifies as a post, but its a slow news day.
Now I can say I met one of the Baldwin brothers! (...golf claps).

Oh!

Music Musings

Music: an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner


Its quite simple really. Yet so varying that I cannot fathom the types of music to be created by the human species.

I'm hooked on a few bands right now. I'll post a few of them right here.

1.Belle and Sebastian: An oldie but a goodie. Scottish pop. Favorite song: If she wants me

2. Yelle: For the past year i've been raving about this artist and now she is touring in the USA. Yea! Fave song: Tristesse/Joie

3. Boys Noize: Just that, boys noise. Its awesome electronic/bassy/crazy/jumpin'/freaky music that you'll love. Fave: And Down

4. Jens Lekman: Swedish folk pop. Awesome lyrics, oldie sound, very nostalgic. Fave song: Opposite of Hallelujah

5. Ryan Adams: Alternative Rock/Blues/Country. Very good lyrics, good string work. Fave album: Cold Roses

6. Dave Matthews Band: Jam Band. Cannot say enough about how much I love this band. Fave: So much to say.

I think thats about it for now. Listen to these artists if you get a chance. It will be worth your while.

Coffee On A Saturday

Saturday morning again. Usual routine: Coffee, paper and music.
Work tonight, dreading it.
This heat is killing me. Literally.
Might move up north. Don't know when though.
Life is good. Could be better though.
Plan for today: Relax

Busted

Yet again I have to deal with my car and its unwillingness to work for me. I shouldn't be surprised its almost 14 years old. Quite old for a car. I don't know what I'll do with it but keeping it just seems to cost me more money than what I paid for it.
On a brighter note, I went to see Vampire Weekend last night with Tony, Marla and Nicole. It was entertaining to say the least. The first two opener bands sucked. Nevertheless we stayed until VP played and they never fail to disappoint. After that I headed home, but I wasn't really tired so I called Mig and we stayed up till 2 watching movies. Good times.
With all my issues I still feel optimistic about life. I think thats just my brain ignoring the obvious and letting me wander around in this blissful state. I just might be going crazy. But do crazy people know they're crazy? I guess i'll never know.

Trippin' Out

The road has ended. Its a pleasant fact that I can still stand.
Still here on this path.
Surprising to know that can still be surprised.
Angry at myself for many things.
"You must think i'm a fool, so prosaic and all"
Never stop to sleep, sleep is all I do.
Will I ever have it?

Anyway. Enough with my lame attempts at poetry. Here are some shots from the my trip to san francisco.
