It's Shocking!

WARNING: This blog contains spoilers for FRINGE, LOST, and GREY'S ANATOMY

I hate this time of year. I really hate it. I hate it it because after investing hours of my life into episodic stories TV people feel the need to wrap up seasons and take a break. I think these prime time shows need to take a cue from Soap Opera's, now those people manage to get 5 shows on a week. Some might argue quality but 5 shows is a lot. I practically feel those people over at THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL are part of my family. Heck! I have known those people for 20 years! So why should those prime time TV people limit themselves to 22 episodes a season ? I know, I know, advertising and money. But darn it, I want more than 22 episodes. I need my Barney, my Hurley, my Jeff Probst, my Gosselins, and those desperate housewives! If you are like me, you get so friggin' attached to some of these television shows that you are suddenly thrown into traction in May as the season comes to a close. I can't believe I have to wait months to see these shows! Is it me or has the hiatis time for TV shows gotten longer? Those LOST people seem to take a friggin' long break!!! I know it's supposed to be so that they can run the show continuously but I say why don't you just make more shows? It's rare you get friggin' good television so why don't you give us more?

When it comes to season finales this year, it's my humble opinion that these series finales were especially shocking this year. Am I right? Seems like everything I have seen so far has been SHOCKING. I am still trying to get over a few of them. For instance, I was shocked that Leonard Nimoy wasn't in the FRINGE finale more than 3 measly minutes. How dare the stick him in for a teasing 3 minutes! Losers! I was shocked by LOST'S Juliet's rather long fall down a well...only to live...only find out that she has to trigger a nuclear bomb...only to have to hit the said bomb (which by the way fell a friggin' long way not to detonate)...only to die...or so we are made to think? I was shocked by the whole Izzy and George, "are they?" or "aren't they?" dead thing on GREY'S ANATOMY. Killing off two main characters is shocking! Don't go getting any ideas from LOST ok Grey's people? My question on Grey's is, is Izzy and George possibly getting the axe for their stories? Or are they possibly getting axed because they are pain in the ass to the producer in real life? Either way, don't kill them! They are annoying but that is the whole point of soap operas! Soap Operas are only good when you fill them with annoying people. Then I was shocked by The Ghost Whisper's finale mainly because Melinda has had the fastest pregnancy known to man kind and also because the whole your baby is going to be more powerful than you story was cheesy (and I like soap operas). Come on Ghost people you went light on me this year and that was shocking. Lastly, I was shocked to h-e-double hockey sticks that my stupid Replay, which I normally love, didn't record the series finale of Desperate Housewives. F***! Now I need to try and find it on line. Darn you Netflix on the Xbox for turning something off so my Replay didn't get the update! I am shocked that the super awesome Replay didn't work this time.

Speaking of Netflix, single handedly the best invention known to man kind. I have been having all sorts of fun finding new movies to watch. I love the little application on the iTouch, otherwise known, as my hubby's "Little TV" and I love the fact you can take as much time as you want to watch things. Although, if you want to get more bang for your buck you better return those puppies ASAP. My hubby is really good at this. I think he has seen a bazillion movies already. I watched FENCH KISS, the day before I flew to Paris on that, way, awesome watching movies through Xbox feature they have. I saw NICK AND NORA, ROLE MODELS, NIGHTS IN RODANTHE (don't rent this as it's a really terrible movie that gives chick flicks a bad name), BOLT, etc. And you know what? My cue is waiting to send me more. I think when our free run of it is over those Netflix people are going to be getting a check from me each month because I love that service. It's like crack for movie lovin' folk.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...
