Playing Catchup!

Alright, so I have been a very bad blogger and not been updating my posts, at all. Shame on me I know but in my defense (alright its only an excuse) I hate the new blogger layout/look. It is so much harder to navigate and use for my blogs. I had to switch back to the old one just to write out this blog post!

Titanic: I saw Titanic 3D in theaters and I am so happy to say that I was able to see it on the big screen. It is one of my all time favorite movies and last time it was in theaters I was too young to see it. The 3D was subtle, but it really took a toll on my eyes and I was sitting in the furthest row back. I cried of course, as I always do when Jack dies. Of course with the re-release of the movie we have all the idiots talking smack. "Rose is such a bitch, Jack could have fit on the door too, he didn't have to die!" Well guess what, no he could not have "fit on the door" and still have it hold them both above water. As is shows in the movie the door tipped when he tried to get on and in a deleted scene Jack stops another passenger from getting on the door with Rose saying it would only hold her weight. SO TAKE THAT! Sorry, I get really pissed when people talk about the movie like that though, its like Rose would not have just let him die if there was any option and while Jack could have gone and found another door to float on himself, he would have had to leave Rose alone and he just wasn't the type to do that. He was going to stay by that door and protect her until his last breath.

The Lucky One: Finally a Nicholas Sparks book turned to movie that didn't make me bawl like a baby. It had a happy ending thankfully and was an amazing storyline to boot. Can I just say Zack Effron, H-O-T-T-I-E!!!!!!! Like seriously, he was pin up drool worthy in this movie. That man has come a long way from his role in High School musical and I look forward to seeing him in many more roles in the future. He is shaping up to be a great actor, and no I am not just saying that because he was so incredibly good looking in the movie. Not a lot I can really say about it besides its definitely worth seeing and I will be buying it once it is out on DVD.

30 Rock: My husband got me hooked on this show and it is so funny. One of my new favorites, I have been tearing through the episodes like crazy. Now I don't usually have a funny bone in my body but even I find the show entertaining, with that said you should check it out.

Alright, there is a little glimpse of what I have been watching lately, I will try to post more often, I just have to get a hang of the new layout first.

What have I been watching?

Supernatural: So I have moved into season three and it is much more graphic and violent than the first two. It makes my stomach turn to watch it so I have had a hard time keeping up the momentum. The plot is also falling a little bit flat for me, hopefully I will feel more like watching it in a week or so.

Army Wives: Love the new season and I can't want to see the most recent episode. I am sad they got rid of Pamela, she was one of my favorites, but it looks like Roxy may have found a new friend. And her and Trevor finally have a new house (hope I'm not spoiling too much) anyways. Its just awesome and I want to watch it right now!

Raising Hope: Same ol raising hope, it is quite ridiculous but entertaining enough for short periods of time.

Eureka: This show is really slow, my mom and I have been watching it together and we are only like five episodes in. Its entertaining but hard to see the point and that makes it just a little bit dull.

Random YouTube: I have been watching random you tubers and they entertain me. I was thinking about maybe making some video logs but I am not sure, we will see. I don't take criticism well so I don't know how I would do with those type of videos.

Sad day for My Boys!

So I guess my boys only has four seasons, at least that's all that netflix has, me and mom are super bummed about it but we started watching Eureka in its place and we are only on episode 2 but so far it isn't completely horrible the first episode was really long and tedious but it built up the foundation for the rest of the plot so I guess its good that they were thorough from the beginning, I don't know, the jury is still out on that one. We are going to check online and see if we can find more seasons of my boys because I could have sworn there were six and if we do find it I will definitely be blogging about it here. If season four is the end I just have to say it was a fairly disappointing ending as far as PJ and Bobby are concerned, although the rest of the crew seems to be doing rather well for themselves. I still would have liked to have seen PJ and Bobby perhaps getting married as an ending to the series, but until I know for sure this is all really speculation. So that is it for now, I will be sure to keep this as up to date as possible.

4 Shows and a Movie

I have been watching a ton of SUPERNATURAL, slowly chugging my way through the series, and it has gotten really interesting. I love all the plot twists they have thrown in, although it really is beginning to get a little redundant which is sad since I am only on season 2, but I look forward to continuing the series. I don't know how they keep it going for like six season, and I really wish they would get a third person or partner or something to join them for a couple of episodes, just to mix things up a bit.

I have also been watching MY BOYS with my mom and it is also really good, again great plot twists and such. Last night I didn't want to stop watching it because it was just that good. Brando just bought Crowley's and Bobby is going to law school and Mike got married. If you know who he is and haven't seen it yet you totally have to get to that episode. It is amazing!

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is also on my watch list, I have never seen it from episode one and it is really funny. I love Barney, he is hilarious! My favorite part of the show honestly. I know it is going to get really dull watching it since they have like six seasons and such, but I plan on watching it all the way through because its really very good and I know that there are several major plot turns later on from catching it on television that will be interesting to watch and see how they pan out.

I watched the ending of MY SISTERS KEEPER yesterday and it was heart wrenching. Like, I seriously don't think I will ever be able to sit down and watch the entire movie just because of how sad the ending was. I was in tears. Granted its not hard to reduce me to tears, but still, I have family members with serious medical issues and I could only think of them while watching it. So until later notice, amazing movie (from what I saw) just not one I will be sitting down and watching all the way through any time soon.

ARMY WIVES is back! I seriously didn't think they would be making another season but I am glad they did, although they took away one of my favorite wives which really makes me sad. I don't want to say who for spoiler reasons. I just don't know how the plan on continuing the show when they take away a main wife like that. I mean after everything they have all went through, you would think they shouldn't be split apart but in reality that is the army life. Episode 2 is seriously gut wrenching, in a sort of good way. Basically keep a box of tissues handy if you plan on watching this amazing series.

CLOWNS!

I just finished watching the supernatural episode about clowns and I am still freaking out! I hate clowns, no offense to all the clowns out there you just really creep me out. I blame my dad for making me watch IT when I was like ten and at the scene the guy kills himself in the tub my dad told me to go take a bath. Much trauma there. Ick, I am all jittery just thinking about it. This will hopefully teach me something about watching scary shows before bed... maybe... nah i dont think so considering I have another one loading as I type.

Shows I watched Wednesday 3/7/12

Switched at Birth: The newest episode is a lot of the same ole' same ole' is Bay and Emmett going to make it as a couple, whats going to happen with the book, Will Regina stay hung up over Angelo. It does get quite repetitive in an entertaining way. I am not going to spoil the ending but it had my jaw dropped to the floor. I could not believe that twist they put in and I am excited to see how they handle it in next weeks episode.

Supernatural: This show still freaks me out, and the plot gets deeper and more complex each episode in. Sam has telepathic abilities and found another boy with similar abilities who's mother was killed in the exact same way. I have no idea where they are going to go with the plot in the future but I just have to say its one of those shows that keeps me at the edge of my seat.

Celtic Thunder: I am a huge fan of the singing group Celtic thunder and have been for a long time. The singing voices on those men just make me melt! I am not too thrilled with the newest cast, I miss the old group, but they are all amazing singers and I am sure once I get use to them I will love them just as much as the originals.

Criminal Minds: This show makes me so paranoid because any of the scenarios could happen and half the time its the normal people out there. Makes me wonder if even blogging is safe. And the show always connects something about the job to the characters personal lives. It is a very well done show but I cannot watch it too often or I would never go out in public and make new friends.

I watched this video on Facebook today, a friend linked it to me and it really got me thinking about how little attention I pay to the world outside of me. I am very sad for the lives the children leave and I hope that justice is served and the man is stopped.

I got a new book!

That's right I am now an official owner of Twenty Years Later by Alexandre Dumas. I was borrowing it from a friend and I couldn't find the time to read it so I went to return it to her and she just gave it to me. I am so happy! Alexandre Dumas is my favorite author ever. I really wish I could say more about the book, but I havn't read it yet. You are in for a big treat though when I get around to it because I am sure I will be ranting and raving about it for quite a while. He is an amazing writer and it is sure to be an amazing sequel to The Three Musketeers one of my all time favorite books.

My Boys

That is the show my mom and I spent the evening watching last night. It is such a funny show and we were cuddled up around the computer streaming from Netflix and laughing at all the antics of the show. I would think that by watching that show I should know more about baseball but we are done with the first season and I still know absolutely nothing about the sport, except the teams are super important. The main character uses baseball analogies for everything and I still know nothing. But it is still a great show full of mostly clean humor.

All things Supernatural

So for the past couple of days, since my husband fixed our Netflix account, I have been catching up on my shows. I was able to finish one series and start another. Both are about supernatural creatures which is a huge interest of mine so you could say I very easily fell in love with both shows. The first is Rosario + Vampire and the second is Supernatural.

Rosario + Vampire: Alright so this anime is extremely cheesy. I mean, I was embarrassed watching parts of it. There are two seasons that I know of, I don't know if they have created any more. It was alright storyline wise, and fell flat in a couple of major areas. There was no closure to the series, you don't know who the guy ends up with. You have an idea but you never fully know. It would be interesting to read the manga and see how close the two are. I would give it three stars because I have seen much better anime than that one.

Supernatural: So this is an amazing show, I don't know why I didn't watch it sooner. I still remember being in high school and one of my really good friends always talked about it and I just never watched it but I should have. I am not even half way through season one and I just keep hitting the next button. It is very creepy though. I believe in the supernatural so watching the show sends chills down my spine and I will admit I had trouble falling asleep. The last one I saw before bed last night was the one about the hooked man. There is nothing too freaky in the graphics, in all in the story-lines which are fairly well developed although the show is really quite predictable. That does not, however, take away from the amazing essence that is the show. I will keep up to date about each season but so far I just have to say I am loving season one. I can't figure out what happened to the mom and girlfriend but I think its just something that is connected to their family maybe. It will be interesting to learn the why's and how's of that part of the plot. And of course what happened to their father. So far my favorite episode is the one about the boy who drowned in the lake. I don't know why, but it just really hits home with me. Maybe because you see a little bit of Dean's sensitive side.

The Shows of Today: Raising Hope, Glee, and Switched at Birth

So media wise I only got three shows in today which are the ones listed in the title. I watch them on Hulu every week when the new one comes out because I don't really get a lot of T.V. time at our house. So my thoughts on the episodes are as follows;

Raising Hope: Really? They just had to do an episode about spiders? I thought the show was under-budget and canceled or something but I am so glad its not. Although the show has moved away from the baby Hope, its still really good and funny. I love mama, she makes the show. Anyways, after watching this episode I totally want to get a spider net, keep the little buggers off of me. Eww my skin craws just thinking about it. The show did make a lot of good points about marriage and relationships thought which really makes you think.

Glee: An episode about one guy wanting to commit suicide because he can't handle the teasing he gets from being gay and a premature marriage. Now, don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of the show. I have been since the first episode and yes I do understand they have all sorts of issues to deal with. But attempted suicide, it just bothers me. My sister has depression and stuff so I know the mind can make you think horrible things, but to ever get so bad to want to kill yourself just puzzles me. I do have an unnatural fear of dying though so when I think about death I have panic attacks other people not so much. And as for the marriage, I get wanting to get married and be with the person you love for the rest of your life, but they kept saying why wait lets do it now, why wait lets do it now and its like... really? First off they have been on and off again and have so many issues and just don't act mature. The only reason it seems like Rachel accepted Finn is because she thought she got turned down for the school she wanted to attend and he was afraid of being stuck alone in his home town. That is not the sort of stuff you want to build a marriage off of. It didn't feel like they thought it through at all and then to top it all off Quinn gets in a car accident. The drama!

Switched at Birth: Ty's back and its another episode that once again relates to military life. I just cannot get away from it I tell you. Military life is not a bad thing but I just want to zone out on a show and not think about how my husband is all the way across the world from me and could be sent to a war zone at any time without me being there to see him off or anything. Other than that I don't have anything to say about the show. It is amazing as usual. Daphne isn't happy with her relationship, Bay and Emmett may be over, who knows what Angelo's source is. Its all very exciting, I look forward to next weeks episode to see where the plot goes.

And that was my media intake for the day. Writing wise I have been having trouble with my role-play site so I haven't been on there much today. Probably why I created all my new blogs. I have an avatar, harry potter, and x-men next generation role-plays going and I am really looking forward to getting those up and running for good. I am going to try to watch something else on Hulu tonight before bed, get my mind off of life.
