Some inane and insignificant thoughts for a Thursday,

First, Survivor - have you been listening to Jonathon wondering who he reminds you of? It's not the looks, it's the voice...close your eyes and who do you hear.....Alan Alda....I think so anyway.

Grey's Anatomy - saw Episode 2 tonight just like the network gods intended me to. It is such a good show...I think Bailey is fabulous, have from the first episode. I also hope we see more of Callie this season. She was on the View the other morning as a guest host with them. She would make a great addition to their team....please, if those same network gods are listening to me (and they certainly should..lol!!), replace Elizabeth with her. She was quite funny for the few words she was able to squeeze in.

Six Degrees - loving this new show! Campbell Scott (the photographer) looked so familiar last week when I saw him and it took me until the middle of tonight's show to figure out where I've seen him (can't believe I didn't Google him before now!). He was in a movie that I absolutely loved called "Singles". I used to work in a video store and I would quite often put that movie on when I was working. Haven't watched it in years, probably wouldn't even like it now....gonna have to try and dig it up sometime.

Remember:
It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis.

Until tomorrow.....

Well, it's almost midnight on the Friday of one of my favourite weeks - Season Premiere week...actually, this year was a bonus with one of my favourites, Prison Break, starting in August!! Yes, I confess, I truly am a TV junkie. I know, it's not something I should be proud of but hey, there's a lot worse things I could be addicted to (like McDonald's or Diet Coke...somewhat harmless but potentially life threatening). I admit, I love my kids dearly but I'm very grateful that they go to bed at 8:00 and if I don't have plans to do something else, I love knowing that I have the rest of the evening to relax and regenerate in front of the "idiot box". Trust me though, it's not like I'm just sitting there doing nothing. It's amazing how much you can get done during commercials...laundry, cleaning, paperwork, reading (that one book I've been trying to get through for what seems like months!). I've recently even accelerated my ability to multi-task by getting my husband to hook up our dish and a TV in my office. I'm hoping to get even more done now...maybe even some scrapbooking again!! I can tell winter's coming. I'm getting that cocooning/hibernating urge. I'm just going to hide away in my office and not come out again until spring.
As usual, I've gotten away from the purpose of my post...the fabulous new fall season of shows. First I'll list my top 5 shows from last year. These are the ones I just couldn't miss, not in any particular order: 1) Grey's Anatomy 2) Bones 3) Numbers 4) Prison Break and 5) What About Brian (mid-season add-in...loved it!!)
Ok, I probably should have done Top 10 because I also really like Amazing Race, Survivor, Medium, 24 and Desperate Housewives. Some of you are probably wondering how a TV-watching expert like myself could have a list like that and not include House and Lost...nope, never watched them...c'mon now, I can't watch everything. lol!!!
Now as far as the new shows this fall, I'm going to try to help you pick the good and weed out the bad so you don't waste any of your precious time. Ok, I have to admit I'm just winging this a bit since I haven't watched all the new shows but I'll just give you my opinion based on what I've seen or read about them.
Not to be missed: Studio 60, Vanished, Men In Trees and 6 Degrees. I watched 6 Degrees last night and thought it was great...it got great reviews today too. Two that haven't started yet that I'm looking forward to are The Nine and Brothers and Sisters.
There are a few shows getting good reviews but I'm not watching...I just can't fit any more in. There's Shark, Smith, Kidnapped, and Jericho. The one new comedy that looks pretty good is The Class. It's from the people that did Friends and Mad About You...two of my old time favourites.
So there you have it, sit down and relax and watch a mindless hour of TV every now and then. What could possibly happen...it's not like you'll develop some strange habit like repeating yourself over and over. But I have heard watching too much TV causes people to repeat themselves over and over. lol!!!!! It's my giddy hour, I'm cracking myself up!!!!!!
Have a great weekend!!

BOO-YA Baby...and a big HELL YEA!! Good for you, Lukas! Another Canadian dude wins it. I do have mixed feelings about him winning, though. I thought right from the start he was the one to beat, with him and Dilana in the final two and then I really started to enjoy Toby. Honestly though, I don't know if I would enjoy any of them for two solid hours. I would have loved to have seen a tour with the top 3 or 4 all singing. I do like their first song..Be Yourself...I think it's great.

Well today was my baby boy's first day of Junior Kindergarten...boo hoo...ok, I know he's four and he'll be fine but he just seems soooooo little. Last night he decided what he wanted to wear and got his new Diego backpack and lunchpail ready. When he was going to bed I asked him what he was going to take for snack...he just kept saying "I don't know yet". I told him he needed to decide...he looked up at me and calmly said "I'm going to dream about it"..and went to bed. He never ceases to amaze me.
I had to take him and pick him up today..he looked so forlorn as he gave me this sad little wave when I left. He's so shy with people at first compared to how his sister was then. Of course, when I picked him up, he'd had a great morning and he's ready for the bus tomorrow. He was excited to find out that one of his friends from daycare was in his class but he was still a little concerned that he didn't know any of the other kids. I know, I know, he'll be fine...one day down, about 2000 to go until high school!!

SURVIVOR NIGHT....I can't wait!! I can't believe all the hoopla about the teams being split by race. I think I was more offended last time when they split them by men and women, young and old. I was really offended when I realized I would have been on the old team!! I just hope that everyone who thinks it's a terrible idea at least watches it before they continue to judge it.

Anyway, must run, I'm off to the Film Festival tonight...a little hobnobbing with Emilio and Christian I hope...I'll let you know how it was tomorrow.
In the meantime, grab your torches and head back to camp!!!!!
