Recap Fun (AKA “I have no life”)

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Most people who know me know that I love bad tv. (Note: “bad” is what most people call it. So I naturally assume that “bad” means awesome).  Second to my love of awesome tv is reading recaps about said awesome tv. Sometimes, it’s more entertaining that the shows themselves. I wish I could be as witty and amazingly funny as some of them, but until that point I’m just going to share my favorites.

American Idol - Idolatry, EW.com, BWE.tv

Michael Slezak from Entertainment Weekly online could quite possibly be my hero. I only discovered his ridiculously thorough coverage of Idol halfway through this season, but I now want nothing more than to sit in his office, talk about American Idol and possibly be featured in an Idolatry video. (I’d bring @ashleyhellwege if she’s reading)

Michelle from Bestweekever.tv provides 95% less thorough yet equally hillarious recaps as well. (Scroll down to the second picture of Megan Joy and Scott McIntyre and tell me that you don’t crack your sh!t up.)

Gossip Girl - New York Mag’s Daily Intel


Daily Intel’s reality index is responsible for a good third of my love for Gossip Girl, and that’s saying a lot. It also gives me something to look forward to on Tuesday mornings, which are easily the hardest days to wake up of the week. (Mondays are ok, because you mentally prep yourself. Tuesday you’re like “aw crap, waking up again?” Wednesday is hump day and it’s all down hill from there until Saturday. IMO).

The end of the tv season leaves a tiny hole in my heart which I intend on filling with beer, summertime and SYTYCD.

Pick the Perp

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Pick the Perp is a wonderful time waster that invites you pick the perp out of a lineup that you think was booked for the crime listed.

Things I’ve learned while “picking the perp”:
I’ve never heard of a lot of the crimes listed
Mug shots are awesome, and I hope I never have one
It’s never the one you think it is (hence my 5/20 correctly matched perps)

Emails from Brenda: Go State!

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Approximately three minutes after Michigan State beat Louisville, I received this in my inbox:

“Go  Green!  Final Four- Yes!”

Straight and to the point - for what may be the first time in her email history.

<3 Brenda and MSU! 2660_824865949884_2305899_52574989_6731631_n

Emails from Brenda: A Preview

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Tony, with his Texts from Patti series, has inspired me to create my own - Emails from Brenda.

Emails from Brenda will share the latest and greatest things my mom decides to email me about. Most often those include American Idol commentary, what she bought at Target and how much of a bargain her latest purchase was.

I’ll leave you with this to get you excited:

“The post office now has rates that not only take in to account the weight,  but also the dimensions of the envelope. For instance I found out that padded envelopes have to go as packages because of their thickness. Weird.”

Don’t try to take him, I already called dibs.

Sorry Mom

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Colin  kindly pointed me in the direction of I Bang the Worst Dudes. Sorry Mom  yesterday and I must say that I thoroughly enjoy it. I guess I’m one of those terrible people that gets pleasure out of other people’s awful experiences. 

If you’re anything like me, check it and you’ll get a good laugh out of it. My favorite line so far?

“He asked me for another chance and when I said I don’t think so he said he would ban me from his frat house if we stopped hooking up. Whatever, you’re banned from my vagina.” 

Point: Vagina. (Although BWE.TV is insisting they’re having the worst week ever)

Broccoli Wokly

Broccoli Wokly

I found Broccoli Wokly at Jewel on Sunday. I did not buy it, but I thought it was worth stopping in the middle of the aisle and taking a picture of it. I’m sure it’s more expensive than your average broccoli (considering you can “microwave in bag” and it’s “ready in less than 5 minutes”) but the name makes up for it.

Reason #1 why you should follow THE_REAL_SHAQ on Twitter, and why he is awesome:

“Went to a horse style cirk us dolay show called cavalia, very impressive”

CIRK US DOLAY. This man is a genius.
