quick update

March 26, 2009

i know i know… im slacking. sue me. 

i have vacation coming up. so. yeah. i wont be posting till tuesday (ish)

for all your tv updates go to givememyremote.com .. if you missed your favorite show go to hulu.com

and totally if you missed last weeks The Office.. long story short. New VP (over Michael) killed Michael’s 15 Ann of being at Dunder Mifflin. He was being a jerk to Michael.. and really hurting Michaels feelings.. awww.. anyways Michael ended up quitting. CRAZY!. (i think it is for the best for the writers to refresh Michaels Character. i doubt its for realz though.) also Jim was making fun of Dwight and ended up making a bad first impression with Charles (vp guy) and He kept having super awkward moments with the guy poor Jim. 

American Idol last nite- it was a little awkward with Paula asking Ryan what he was doing after the show. hmm.. 

I thought Chris Matt Adam and Danny killed it. Everyone else. ah.  I think either Megan or Michael will go home tonight. Bottom Three will prolly be Megan, Scott, Michael. I like Scott.. but he has the SAME voice everytime.. no range.. same thing with Michael.. and i dont like Megans voice. (Sry) [[RESULTS TONIGHT.]] ALSO Hells Kitchen is on tonight. LOVE IT.. watch it!

Anyways. thats all from me…. go check out those sites.. keep you busy till i get back. LATER!


Who Went Home..

March 19, 2009

On American Idol. 

I for one thought Scott was going to be packing his bags. But He wasn’t even in the bottom Three. Actually  it surprised me even more than that, that Allison was bottom three. (Whoa!)

The spit out two of the bottom three fast. Michael and Allison went to sit on the other side of the stage (side note: i almost cried when Michael was talking about the question his daughter asked him. i almost want to send him home just so he could be with his daughter. cuz when you go on tour its going to be a lot harder. and i think his daughter should feel like her dad wants to be with her. so sad) anyways. 

The other to grace the bottom three (heehee) Alexis Grace. (personally i felt like adam should have for killing johnny cash’s ring of fire .. but hey)

What was Carrie Underwood wearing. the dress would have been a heck of a lot better if she didnt have those stupid flowers on there.. and the hair?! who dressed miss underwood last night. EPIC FAIL!

Anyways the song Carrie and Randy did was okay.. i thought they werent in sync as much at the end (ok so the end is what i watched i was flipping back and forth between Idol and USA getting spanked in baseball)

Now time to announce the idol that will be going home.. and tonight.. it was.. Alexis Grace .. BUT.. the judges were thinking they just might save her (i call bs on that one) but after her performance they said it was good.. but not good enough. 

Good Bye Alexis – :|

Personal Post

March 19, 2009

So.. you know how i said i was going to sell my truck.. this is what happened..

Saturday- i put my truck out in the front yard with a for sale sign on it.. i walked back inside and called daniel. like 5 mins later a guy comes up.. asking me all kinds of questions about the truck. then he wanted to test drive it. so i went and got nick (cuz im just not gonna go out with any stranger by myself) and he test drove it. he decided he wanted it.. and he wanted to know how much it would cost out right. i told him i didnt know i would have to call the bank and see.. he told me to think about it.. and give him a call and we could go from there.
so i went with my mom to the bank and figured out all of that.. gave the guy a call and left a message.

Meanwhile- nick, megan, daniel, and i were getting ready to go to anna maria and go fishing. while we were loading into the truck they guy pulled up behind my truck and called me over to his window. he wanted to know when i had a day off so we could go by the bank and he could pay for the truck. i told him i could do it monday. he said okay. (of course i didnt tell him when on monday duh!)

Sunday- we came back from spending the night at anna maria. we got home.. i had to clean up the truck a little bit. cuz megan and nick made a mess with nerds and sunflower seeds. looked like little kids were back there. anyways.. cleaned it up again. and i called the guy to leave a message on what time was good with him. he never called back.. so finally a little past 9:30 i called him again got his voice mail. left a message again. saying my mom and i would meet him at the bank at 8:30 and told him where the bank was located.
he called me back at 10:20ish saying there was an emergency with his kids and he has to leave town for a little bit. he wont be back till end of this week. i said okay just give me a call so we can arrange something about the truck.

Wednesday (yesterday) i called his cell phone again getting voice mail. i was asking him when we were going to get together cuz it is coming close to the end of the week and if i dont hear anything by friday i will be putting the truck back up for sale.

Today- still no answer from the guy. >:|

my thoughts- i kinda feel like im being jerk around a little bit. Daniel thinks its just all in my head and that the guy wouldnt shown so much interest if he didnt want the truck. but at the same time the guy needs to call me back and work out something. i have to tell my boss im going to be late or whateva i cant just get a call at 10:20 again and say hey we can meet tomorrow. same thing with telling my mom. her name is on the title as well.. so she needs to go. i need to work with her schedule too.

i know. it might sound like im rushing the guy. just. i found a car i like.. and i would like to get.. but i cant get a new car till i sale this one.. and they guy wanted to get the truck as soon as he could on saturday.. and now he is draggin his feet.. kinda weird to me. :|

i just hope the guy actually buys the truck and isnt just messing with me.. :| cuz i just lost a week that i could have had it on sale. and that seems like a waste. and now my hopes are up. and that would suck if it didnt work out.


Dancing With the Stars

March 17, 2009

is apparently not a place for a “jackass”

Steve-O, known for his crazy stunts on the mtv show Jackass, had to skip last nights Dancing With The Stars cuz of a back injury.

The reality star was forced to skip Monday’s “Dancing With the Stars” after falling on his back during a dress rehearsal earlier in the day.

He landed flat on his back after a failed front flip, smashing his spine into the microphone pack all performers wear. The 34-year-old was already nursing a pinched nerve in his back.

The funnyman didn’t break any bones, said dance partner Lacey Schwimmer, but he hasn’t yet been cleared to dance on future episodes.

<source>

This years Dancing With the Stars has been kicking star-butt…

“Access Hollywood” co-anchor Nancy O’Dell suffered a torn meniscus, requiring surgery, and singer Jewel sustained fractures in both tibiae (shinbones). But wait, there’s more: In the current cast, actor Gilles Marini reported a left shoulder injury, and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has injured his foot, according to an ABC representative, and was recently photographed wearing a removable cast.

<source>

Melissa Rycroft (from “The Bachelor,”) continued to do well, earning the show’s only other 9 this season for her saucy salsa. In the combined scores from the first two weeks, her 49 is second only to Gills’ 51. Behind them in order are: Shawn Johnson, 47; Lil Kim, 44; Chuck Wicks, 40; Denise Richards, 39; Lawrence Taylor and David Alan Grier, 36 each; Belinda Carlisle, 35; and Steve-O, 31.

In a new twist this season, the two with the lowest scores, when combined with viewer votes from the past two weeks, will compete in a dance-off Tuesday when they’ll compete for all new judges’ scores (and the previous scores will be wiped clean). <source>

ding dong. who’s there? kgb.

March 13, 2009

last nights episode of the office was pretty good..

[SPOILER]

the knock knock jokes at the beginning brilliant.
and it goes like this:

Pam is on the phone with a customer trying to give them the fax number to The Office when Michael walks up to her desk and starts saying random numbers at the same time. After successfully relaying the information she hangs up and tells Michael that was completely unprofessional. He replies that they have no way of knowing it was him. Then he says, “Knock, knock.” Pam says, “Who there?” Michael says, “Buddha.” Pam says, Buddha who?” Michael places a stick of melting butter with a knife stuck into it and a slice of bread onto her desk and says, “Buddha this bread for me, would ya?” Then he asks for a handy wipe. Dwight says he has a knock knock joke. Michael doesn’t want to hear it but Dwight persists. He asks, “Knock knock.” Michael says Who’s there?” Dwight says, “KGB.” Michael is about to ask KGB who when Dwight slaps him in the face and screams, “We will ask the questions!” Michael hits him back and yells at him for hitting him. Dwight is offended that Michael doesn’t understand the hilarity of his joke. In the midst of their fight Jim says, “Ding dong.” Michael says, “Who’s there?” Jim says, “The KGB.” Michael tells Dwight to get the door. Jim keeps on saying, “Ding dong,” over and over while Michael and Dwight fight over who should answer the door until finally Jim slaps Dwight in the face and yells, “The KGB will wait for no one!” Michael and Jim share a good laugh while Dwight looks at the camera and says, “It’s true,” while rubbing his sore cheek.

i loved the golden ticket idea.. till it blew up in michael’s face. (also causing jim to lose a lot of money on one of his biggest customers) and instead of taking the blame for it he told david that dwight came up with the idea.

then michael tried to convince dwight to take the fall.

>>i liked how they have toned dwights character since the last show.. he which just the right amount of dwight we like :)
michael on the other hand. total jerk in that episode. but that is who michael is. he wants to be accepted by everyone and when things come crashing down he doesnt want to be the one to blame. thats why we love michael.

meanwhile andy, jim, and pam were trying to coach kevin on how to deal with his new interest.
>>andy seems so sad since angela. i hope they turn things around for him. i liked it better when he was happy. he was so cute happy.
kevin is awesome. he went out there.. and was straight forward with her. i busted out laughing when he said “niiiiiiceee… boobs” HAHA.. she had this awkward look at first.. but then she smiled.. heehee.

im glad they didnt shove any jim and pam moments in there this time. i mean they threw in a little when pam zinged michael for jim.. but it wasnt in your face BAM. i did like how they were arguing with andy over what kevin should do.

all in all good episode.. i think better than last week. the only problem i really had.. is you had michael being the liked guy last week.. and so sweet.. to a complete jerk with week. the writers need to smooth it out a little bit.. michael is seeming extremely bipolar :|

[/SPOILER]

thats my take on it. :D

if you havent seen it.. click on over to hulu.com and catch up on it. and if you missed any other of your favorite shows check around.. maybe you can find it on there :D

also in unrelated office news.

daniel and i had our five month anniversary last night. it was awesome. cant believe it has been five months. wows


kanye west

March 12, 2009

is it just me.. or does kayne west suck at performing live.. he should just stick to the studio cuz his voice is crap other wise.. i know simon was sitting there wanting to take a shot at him.

i hate when bands sound WAY different live then they do on their tracks.

i know linkin park sounds pretty much the same live as not. i think that says a lot about the singer.. ppl dont want to go to a show and hear a sucky singer that sounds nothing like whats on the cd.

anyways
if you missed it.. here is the performance let me know what you think

plus what the heck was he wearing?! black gloves for realz?! annnd the shirt in the back pocket.. i could understand if he had his shirt off and had it there.. but it is just an extra shirt.. !? what?! it looks like a tail when he jumps around haha

and a jean jacket?! dude he helps this guy with his fashion honestly.. ?! lol


american idol results

March 11, 2009

results as featured on givememyremote.com

there has been a rule change on idol..

Big news for IDOL…
Seacrest just informed us of a new rule. The IDOL judges are allowed ONE save from now up until the Top 5. This means that if America decides to send someone home and the judges don’t agree with the verdict, the judges can vote to veto America’s vote. But they only get one veto for the whole season. And when the veto is used, the next week two IDOL wannabes will be offed.

MEGAN is safe!! Jasmine is headed home. The judges aren’t going to use the Golden Power of Veto on Jasmine. (Wow, things are moving on quickly tonight)
//
Ok now it’s time for one of the boys to go home. And Anoop is…..SAFE! YES! So that means we’re saying goodbye to Jorge Nunez. You did well. I wish we could have seen more of you, but I think it was the right choice. Sadly he’s singing “Never Can Say Goodbye” as his goodbye song. D’oh.

The Office

March 11, 2009

One of the funniest shows (i think anyways.. i have found you either love it. or hate it)
anyways..
So i finally got a chance to watch the newest episode of the Office on hulu.com (Blood Drive)
[SPOILER]
Valentines Day episode at the beginning of march seemed out of place to me. and i hate the fact that every other thursday we get a office episode instead of every thursday.. >:{

anyways.. on with it.. funny episode all in all.. im kinda getting tired of Michael looking for a girlfriend.. i know.. valentines day episode.. of course michael has to do that.. but why string it along you know.. they only threw Holly in there to keep some kind of romance since Pam was away to New York. so they wrote her in and casted her out so fast. im still trying to get over it with michael. so rushing into another woman just seemed out of place.. given the episode before that where he was still all about Holly.
moving on. Dwight seems more of a jerk than usual..(prolly cuz of the whole angela/andy thing.. which could have been handled better by the writers.. i feel like i got the short end of a great story)
anyways i dont think i like where they are going with his character. i think they need to tone it down a bit.. cuz honestly he is getting old to me. like michael’s stupidity gets old after a while.
I hate the fact Dwights character is single focused in my mind.. but I’m liking that the writers are giving us an inside on the other office characters. i liked Kevin’s role in this one. he was so cute talking to the lady. i kinda missed toby.. which might i say something is happening with him and kelly.. i just know it.. and i thought it was brilliant having andy gone on those honeymoons.. haha
BUT the best part of the episode was the awkward lunch date between Pam, Jim, Bob and Phyllis.. the looks Jim and Pam gave the camera.. AWESOME. i wish they would have developed it a little more.. instead of just kinda throwing it in-between.. it seems like the writers had a good idea there.. but then kinda dissolved it into a filler :| much like a lot of story lines lately.
[/SPOILER]

ANYWAYS.. if you missed the episode.. click on over to hulu.. and check it out.. and if you havent seen some of the web features .. your missing out.. cuz those clips are just as good.. you can them on hulu as well.

im outttttt
