Looking back on my wish list for WWE this year, at least one request of mine has been followed: No McMahon wives or offspring on WWE Tv. Course that may change tonight since its McMahon appreciation night. In case you don't recall, my other wishes were that K-Fed vanish from site and that JR and JBL call the Royal Rumble match. K-Fed was on tv again but thankfully he hasnt been seen since early January. JBL did call the Royal Rumble match but not with JR. So far so good. The Superbowl is next weekend, Colts vs the Bears. I picked the Colts (actually kind of out of necessity, since the person I bet on Superbowl Games with already picked the Bears to win) to win the big game, 23-10. When it comes to football I only watch the Superbowl. Other than the big game, football doesnt interest me at all. However, the snack part of watching a football game DOES interest me. Finding out I was diabetic this past year has reduced the chocolately "yumm yumm" factor in my Superbowl Snack selection. I do have some all time favorites to fall back on. (btw chocolate isnt a complete no no, several candy companies make wonderful low sugar choices if you have to have your peanut butter cup. Like me.) My main snack is nachos, with maybe a low sugar ice cream later on during the last quarter. The recipe I use: 1 package soft cheese (that one that starts with a "v"), cut into cubes for easier melting. 1 jar of salsa, your choice of brand and how hot you want it (I get Tostitos Medium Salsa) 1 bag chips of your choice. (I have Frito Scoops this time) Dump jar of Salsa into bowl with cubes of cheese that you cut up. put it in the microwave. Set the timer for five minutes. Stop it halfway through and stir the cheese making sure its melting and combining with the salsa. When its as done as you want it to be, take it out of the microwave when the bowl is cool enough to handle. Use hand protection if its till slightly hot. Divide the mixture into smaller dipping bowl, serve with your chips. Voila! Enough of this recipe stuff, I dont want to turn into Rachel Ray (satan!) here, but thats one way I enjoy the big game. Don't forget Prince will be perfoming in the half time show. I know at least one net pal of mine will be watching! Time for another cute pic of the week. Yeah, its not Zach Braff again, I'm sooo over him. This weeks obsession Jeremy Piven! I like this picture here:
Next week, it may be someone else. See you later!

There are several facts I'd like to note before diving into this review of Rocky Balboa. I saw it just this past weekend. Its the first movie I've seen since, I believe October. Whenever it was that I saw Jet Li's Fearless. Other things to note:
I had myself a girls night out to watch this movie. After a nice dinner at the KFC (I don't eat at the movies very often), I settled down to watch. First off, whoever was working the projector was off his A game that night. The movie could be seen on the curtains next to the big screen and on the area above the floor. It was kinda disctracting at times but after a while I started to ignore it (in some scenes it was more obvious than others). Rocky is a widower now, he had lost Adrian to "woman cancer". He works in a restaurant named after her. Meanwhile a new hotshot in Mason "The line" Dixon is kicking butt and taking names, but not getting a whole lot of respect. An ESPN program projects Rocky as the winner in a "what if" battle between him and Dixon. He decides he wants to get back into it, for presumably the last time. The movie is not very long, just under two hours. I mentioned I'm not a boxing fan, especially boxing movies. You may like them, but I never found them to be my liking. Anyway the main fight between Rocky and Mason Dixon kept me wonderng what was going to happen next. It takes a good story to make me interested in the outcome of a boxing match. I won't spoil the movie, you should go see it for yourself. Review: A-. By the way, the guy who plays Rockys son, is also the same guy who is in my new fave show "Heroes". Other stuff! Trailer Park: What commercials I had to look at before the movie. Epic Movie: Its like Date Movie that came out last year. You take most of the movies from last year and some that are a little older and put it in a blender. There you go. It seems to be framed mostly around The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I ask you, is that the end of creativity in Hollywood? Can they afford an original idea? I don't know! Wild Hogs: This movie is for you if you want to see Tim Allen, William H Macy, Martin Lawrence and John Travolta on motorcycles. It looks ok. At least its not Battlefield Earth: The Search for more Converts. Ghost Rider: Nic Cage (who must have made five movies last year. Nic, love you, take a break. And you too Will Ferrell. Yeah, I'm looking at you.) plays the hero (beats me) of this comic. Flaming skull guy on a motorcycle. Well the teen boys will luv it. Hopefully I will get off my keister more often to go to the movies. Its still a pretty fun experience to me. See you next blog!

Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven Show me the way, show me the way And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred Show me the way, Show me the way And if I see a light, should I believe Show me the way, show me the way Every night I say a prayer Wednesday, 20 December 2006
This is a list of Christmas wishes I have for this coming year. I have needs, and they are pretty small. I wish Eugene Levy, brilliant cast member of SCTV, would get a series. It can be comedy, or drama, but anything to stop him from being in any more American Pie direct to dvd movies. Mr Levy, I hope you don't need a paycheck this badly. To the WWE, you would make 2007 excellant to me if you did the following things.
I wish VHS's wouldn't go the way of the Dodo, a lot of people still have VCRS. I have my VCR still and will probably have it forever more. Ad people, quit making stupid commercials, especially if they are like the "What happens in Vegas" ads. You know, the ones where people are all secretive about their trip to Las Vegas. Hey, unless you did something that would warrant you being a story on CSI, or you are into any mob activity or broke any laws, I think its rather safe to talk about the trip. I wish all my friends peace, friends and cute little bunnie rabbits. Too cheesy? Okay then forget the bunnies. Thats all for now. I will see you in the New Year. Have a Merry Christmas.

Previously written on "A little bit of blather" "Thankfully K-Fed hasnt seen WWE airtime since the last pay per view he was at." Turns out this isnt true. While I was waiting for Heroes to come out of commercial break I caught some of RAW tonight. John Cena was in the ring talking about wrestling Umaga on Umbaba, or something. One of the Divas, named Melina, comes out to tell Cena he needs to focus on someone else. Apparently this certain someone was being trained to wrestle Cena at the next big pay per view. Who is that someone? You really want to know? Sure? Ok Just checking. Kevin Federline is back! Back like the taste in your mouth after you've eaten a California roll. Okay, K-fed wasnt there in person (they had his picture up on screen), but that doesnt lessen the pain. Its like Bill O'Reilly on tv but with his mouth taped shut. WWE, I know you aren't in the habit of listening to anyone including fans, but please get rid of Federline. He ain't a rapper, hes not a wrestler and hes not a respectable father! Put this white trash where he belongs, the recycle bin.
"Ya know ya want meh"
Now I have to wash my mind with bleach, thanks. Maybe this site too. I declare this site to be a No Loser Zone. I will not speak of the above loser from this day forward. Now if everyone will do the same.

Its almost the end of the year, my fave shows are being taken off for either reruns or ooey gooey Christmas specials. (barf gag. ok I'm done now). This is the perfect time to talk about the shows I watch or have stopped watching. CSI: LAS VEGAS - At the end of last season it was revealed that Grissom and Sara Sider are sharing more personal airspace. This put me in a slight despair because some relationships on some tv shows might actually help kill it off (for more info see this page I made ages ago on tv coupling. Yes its slightly dated, http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/4860/couplesroot.html) . I thought all of a sudden Grissom would turn goo goo eyed and that would make me sicker than most of the murder victims on the show. But so far so good, there is very small "shipper" things going on other than Sara saying she wouldn't wait up for him. Keep it this way. Fanfic writers can write stories about Sara/Grissom on their own time. No complaint from me. Shark: Pretty much abandoned that after two weeks. See previous article for more details. Turns out liking one or two stars won't make me stay with a show unlike... Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: which I am still watching. Its a good quality show, and I love it. (And no it has nothing to do with the fact that I crush on one of its male leads.) Brothers and Sisters: Never tried, forgot it existed. Heroes: The other Monday night show I love. Its gotta be a good show in order to draw me away from WWE on a regular basis (ok and 24 too will do that when it returns.) As long as no one pops on spandex, its fine with me. Boston Legal: Have been bad and mostly missing some episodes this season. One show had not one, or two but four Star Trek alumni on it (The two regular leads plus Ethan "Neelix" Phillips and Armin "Quark" Shimerman). Law and Order : All three series made casting choices that cheesed me off. I know, cast changes are part of the shows territory but why is it people I like? Dennis Farina is off the original series. Replaced by woman I can't remember. Have stopped watching it mostly because the stories are too often "ripped from the headlines" instead of original. Criminal Intent: Jamey Sheridan is gone now replaced by Eric Bogosian. (you also get to see him on Special Victims unit). Plus Courteney Vance is gone replaced by, I dunno since I can't remember. Annabella Sciorra, Chris Noths partner on Criminal Intent when Vincenbt D'Onofrio isnt on was also replaced. She hasnt really made an impression on me. I tune out when she speaks. This other casting change was inescapable. When Mariska Hargitay had her baby it was natural that she would miss a few episodes of Special Victims Unit, but the woman they had in her place made me wish she was back sooner. I called her "Psuedo-Benson" anytime I saw her. Oh well, at least one good episode with Jerry Lewis made up for that. (**cough**EMMY**cough**) WWE: There seems to be a lot of missed chances this year for them. For example, they had K-fed on the show. He just got divorced from Britney-poo. Wrestling Diva Lita has retired, pretty much ending one of the "premiere" couples of wrestling (barf barf gag). What to do? Kill two birds with one stone, and pair up K-fed with a Diva and make the new premiere couple of RAW! Who to choose? Mickie James? Too much like Britney. Victoria? Potentially psycho. The sky is the limit. Thankfully K-Fed hasnt seen WWE airtime since the last pay per view he was at. Countdown With Keith Olbermann: Perfect, don't change a thing. Maybe less Michael Musto in the New Year, ok big guy? Okay, what else...oooh I'm a fan of Inuyasha now. Great anime.

As Thanksgiving ends in the US, I decided to post a list of things I am thankful for this year. I am thankful for the promise of a new day every day. I am thankful for people who speak what people sometimes need to hear. It may not all be good, but we need to hear it. I am thankful for my job and the people who work with me. They are surely wonderful people. I am thankful for my family, and my mother especially. I am thankful to those who helped me in my time of need this year. I am thankful to my net friends. Never let it be said that I am ungrateful for your kind friendship. I am thankful to People magazine who made George Clooney Sexiest Man Alive this year. There are so many thanks to be listed, yet I only listed a few. Let me get serious for a second here. This holiday season go out and do something for your community. Donate to toys for tots, or to a local charity. Take some time to work at a soup kitchen or a senior citizen center. Do something for your fellow man this holiday season, so they can be thankful for you as well. Monday, 6 November 2006
OR "Why I've stopped reading TV GUIDE and let my subscription lapse". I havent blogged in a while and its mostly because I didn't have a topic. Why blog when you have nothing to say? I know, this comes from a girl whose blog uses the word "Blather" in the title. As I was about to create a new topic out of whole cloth...I remembered that I had said I would write about TV Guide in a future blog. Well the future is now the present and so here it is. I am not renewing my subscription to TV Guide. Why? Several reasons. 1. Its no longer special. Once in a while you would get a great collectible cover with some great animation or a wonderful picture. Great issues about the 50 best, and the like have places in my collection. But that changed a year or so ago. One looking like a little book, the TV Guide was changed to a regular looking magazine. Just like everything else. If you ever look at the magazine stand at your store the magazine blends in with everything else. The TV Guide of old used to stand out and demand to be noticed. The only good change that also happened is that its back to 1.99$ a pop rather than the almost three dollars it was getting to. But thats the only positive thing. I understand TV Guide probably had to make some changes, heck its competition these days are schedules on the internet, tv guides provided by your daily newspaper and guides on sattellite tv. This is very understandable, but there was no need to change the classic format. 2. Listings have become an afterthought. There are more news (though calling it news is iffy since you read about it two weeks AFTER it happened) and there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff too. But there is more of this than actual listings in the magazine. Telling you what time it is on almost comes third to tell you the gossip and the behind the scenes stuff. 3. Sudoku - only its letter style rather than the number style. I'm surprised people are still playing this thing. 4. The TV Guide Channel manages to be worse. They have Joan Rivers and daughter on during the red carpet entrances to the awards show. When thats on the listings really become an afterthought there. You have a better chance of finding Jimmy Hoffa then reading what two milimeters they give you at the bottom of the screen. Joan and her latest face of the week takes up all other space. Ok so barely three or four reasons for me to stop reading, but its reason enough for me. What will I do now? I suppose looking in the newspaper will be enough for me. A tv guide should tell you whats on, maybe a few other things, but thats about it.
