Goodness, I haven’t had this much of a blogging “dry spell” since Capt. UberHusband left for Iraq. Usually during the summer I blame my less-frequent posting on lousy TV options but this year…eh, just lazy. Not much to talk about.
I’m sure none of you want to listen to me complain about how I’m doing all the work on my Org Behavior team project because the guys (literally, I’m the only chick) are patently clueless. Seriously. 3 out of 4 still don’t understand the point of the project and we’re three weeks in, with two left to go.
Actually, I do have some television to talk about…Big Love returned last Monday after a year-long hiatus. Back when CU returned from Iraq, we bought a new LCD TV for our bedroom and after hooking it up to the cable, found out we somehow were picking up our neighbors’ Comcast On Demand feeds on various channels. In the mornings it was usually Nick Jr. shows or FitTV but after about 9:30 PM…bow chicka bow wow…the “adult” entertainment came on, as well as reruns of Entourage, Big Love and The Sopranos.
Anyhoo, that’s how we discovered Big Love…it’s what the neighbors were watching. After a couple of episodes we were hooked and after we also discovered the brilliance which is Entourage, when we switched to Dish Network, we decided to keep HBO. By the way, whichever neighbor of ours watched the “adult” entertainment…he/she fast-forwarded through all the dialogue. No joke.
The one funny thing about this season of Big Love is it picked up two weeks after Barb’s disqualification (Damn you Rhonda! Damn you!) from the Beehive Mother of the Year contest…even though the last season ended a year ago. What does this mean, you ask? It means the “little kids” are clearly no longer little, as Teeny clearly looks a year older. Funny though…Ben looks younger than he did last year…and Sarah…has…um…filled out. I continue to love Nicki and we now know Wanda is several marbles short of a handful of marbles.
What else is on our summer viewing schedule? Entourage (of course), The Closer, Last Comic Standing (if you want some vintage snark, check this out), The Starter Wife…and…yes, I’m watching Army Wives. CU watches it with me so he can point out the technical inaccuracies (”The wives don’t have to buy the filters for the gas masks, that stuff is issued to you at the CRC.”) and I watch it so I can laugh at CU when he points out the technical inaccuracies (”Aww honey, I would have bought gas mask filters for you if you needed them, too.”)
To wrap up this post I’d like to provide you with a quote from Will Smith: “I’m going to be so sexy when I’m older. You have no idea.” Thanks for sharing, buddy.

I don’t have HBO (or even cable) but I watched season 1 of Big Love on DVD through Netflix. And I’m hooked! Roman is one badass…
Too bad that it will now be at least 6 or 8 months until season 2 comes out.
I forgot to mention that I read Amazing Race won’t be back for a fall season - they’re waiting until JANUARY!!!!!
Man! I was just visiting here to tell you to update, beeeyotch! But, lo and behold, you did!
We’re still reeling from the finale of the Sopranos. Big Love is the next thing and I loved LOVED L O V E D the debut of the HBO series John from Cincinnati. And my other addiction is A&E’s Intervention. (addicted….hee hee!)
I’ve only seen probably a dozen episodes of The Sopranos over the years, but both CU and I were…literally…on the edge of our seats at the very end of the episode. My exact words, after I realized our satellite did not in fact go out, were…”Are you f*&*ing kidding me??? How am I supposed to know if Carrie and Big ever got together?” LOL.
It’s good to hear from you. I must say that I am totally hooked on Army Wives. Love it! Starter Wife too. What no So You Think You Can Dance? I probably have you beat on the strange tv though, I am now totally in love with Deadliest Catch on the Discovery channel. LOL
I’m also watching Bridezillas…but don’t tell anyone.
Oh I’m sorry, did I use my outside voice on that one?
Glad you are back girl… I too must say that “Deadliest Catch” ROCKS!! However,next week is the season finale as the opillio crab season comes to a close. But alas ~ Rescue Me premiered last night, all is well in our home!! Did anyone catch “The Riches”???
YES! We watched every episode of The Riches! I was very pleased to hear FX picked it up for a second season, because it was by far, the most original new show of the season.
The writing’s fantastic…and Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard (could we have any more repeating consonants?) are just so believable as Delilah/Shirene and Wayne/Doug.
GREAT show!
