It's The ABC Crack!

You got me again ABC Family! Darn you to heck! I watched Snowglobe and totally enjoyed it. How do you do it ABC? It must be the crack why else would I still be watching Grey's Anatomy and General Hospital?

ABC Family - Snowglobe


And for you Bianca, since I didn't have it saved!:

So That Is What I Am Doing Wrong!

I did not realize that all I had to do was kidnap a random guy in a cafe at gunpoint and take him to my crazy family's Christmas get together to fall in love!

At first the guy will try to get away from my crazy ass, then he will just accept the fact he has to go along with the charade (but still want to get away from me), which finally leads to the guy caring about my secret pain! But it doesn't end there! After I get arrested for kidnapping, which the guy will not press charges, he will eventually (after 2 months) cancel his wedding and then kidnap me to tell me he has fallen in love with me! It so works!

Why didn't I take ABC Family movies seriously all these years?!?



Oh and if you are wondering, yes, I actually did kinda like the movie! Come on Kyle Howard was in it!Haha!

I also liked the other Christmas movie that was on two weeks ago, it had plow guy from Men In Trees!

Scene At A Stoplight

Sometimes people say the wrong things at the wrong time. Of course it is oh so hilarious!

A woman and a man are talking to each other. At one point another woman comes up and joins the conversation.

Woman #2: I wish I was in a wheelchair. (I am guessing she was tired from walking)

Two seconds later, a man in a wheelchair wheels himself through and crosses the street.

Woman #1 and Man start laughing hysterically.
Woman #2: That didn't just happen did it? I can't believe that just happened!
Man: Dude, that was like from a movie!
Woman #2: I can't beleieve that just happened! (repeated over and over again)
Woman #1 and Man cannot stop laughing.

I had to bite my lip so hard to not laugh.

And now the latest video from wgaamerica:

This One's For You...

Claire!

As long as you do not get electrocuted, I am sure you are going to blow it up and kick it where it counts:



And when you do you can argue with someone about how you're saving the world:



As always you will do this with a kick ass soundtrack:



Good Luck!

Now, everyone, let's go back to the 70's with Snoop Dogg:

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know it is early but most likely I am not going to post again this week so I wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving!



I always wondered how all those celebrities were in San Francisco at the time.

That clip just makes me really wanna see this movie again:

Sheesh!

Regarding this previous Sunday:

You know God, I get it you have a sense of humor, but you could have used a different "sign" to tell me not to go to church. Instead you decided to send a big truck to take me down.



Yes, I realize I have been playing the field and trying out all the churches around me. But hey, I have got to feel comfortable in a church and if that means looking for the church with the cutest guys than I shall not be judged! I am still going and paying attention (most of the time). I should get some credit. And now you have put me in a position to walk to church, thank goodness there is one about a mile away.

Anyway, I am totally fine, I thank you greatly for that.

On a totally random note, here is a video...Can't go wrong with the Walker lever:

WGA Strike

So far my favorite chant has been the strikers outside the Paramount main gate:

"Why are we standing outside this gate? 'Cause we got screwed in '88!"

What is your favorite chant?

Here is a video about the strike, the "One Tree Hill" writer is great.

Game Shows

Why are game shows so addicting?

I blame my obsession on the Game Show Network (now GSN)when I was in college. My addiction started as I was channel surfing at 1:00 or so in the morning. Yes, I know what you are all thinking, I was such the party animal! I think it was also combined with the fact I could stay up however long I wanted and my dad wouldn't come and find me watching tv at odd hours of the night and yell at me to go to bed. Hey, if I am not tired what is the point of sleeping then, right? I may have some form of insomnia...which reminds me I have that Stephen King book called Insomnia. I haven't finished a book in a while maybe I should start reading that one? Although that may make me more of an insomniac. Since it would keep me up at night thinking about some weird scary person in the book attacking me. As a result, I would have to find room in the freezer like I did with The Shining...

Anyway, let me get back on track.

So, it was early in the morning and I stopped on the Game Show Network where I found my two absolute favorite black and white classic game shows and hosts as well.

Without further ado, here are my top 3 Game Shows and their hosts!

1) Password - the original 1960's version hosted by Allen Ludden. Ludden was an awesome host and he was even awesomer by the fact that he was married to Betty White. And, if you're a fan, you know it isn't Password without Betty White! Unfortunately, there are no video clips, that I can find, of the original Password, so here is a clip of one of the updated versions, called Password Plus, which was also hosted by Allen Ludden:



Can't wait to see what they do with Million Dollar Password! Though I am not sure about Regis as the host.

2) What's My Line? - the classy game show in which the dignified John Daly hosted a panel of celebrities who guessed people's occupations through a series of questions they asked. They would also have a Mystery Guest come on where the panel would be blind-folded and see if they could guess who the person was. Here is part of an episode with Barbara Streisand as the Mystery Guest:

Here is the link since embedding was disabled

And here is a funny clip of Groucho Marx as part of the celebrity panel:




3) Match Game - the 70's version which was hosted by Gene Rayburn, one of the funniest hosts I have ever seen. The antics on this show, especially from regulars like Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly, always made me laugh and the questions were awesomely ridiculous!



I could mention so many more but these are my top favorites.

Are you a fan of Game Shows? Which ones?

Garth Videos

I felt like I needed a new blog, but really had nothing to put up. So, I decided to put up two music videos by Garth Brooks. They are the two songs I mentioned that had some of my favorite lyrics in Swishy's Blog where she wrote about some of her favorite lyrics down.

Standing Outside the Fire:



Friends In Low Places


This is a long one because it has the extra lyrics, which is my favorite part of the song :).

I so wanted to go to a Garth concert!

Ross, Will You Be My BFF?

Some of my favorite Ross the Intern moments from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno":


Love that he is not afraid to sing an *NSYNC song to Joey Fatone.


It makes me laugh when they point out Sandra Bullock is talking to Ross.


All I need to say is Pineapple! Pineapple! Pineapple!

Just Two Old Ladies

Stephanie and I were talking about our parents' retirements (now or in the future). This led me to say that at the rate I am going I will never be able to retire. I will be that old lady at McDonalds taking your order with a snotty early twenty-something manager breathing down my neck. Then, Stephanie added "and I will be right there working next to you!" Glad to know I will be in fast food misery with a friend!

Anyway, we would also have to be careful about our expenses. Like, maybe we could find three college bound kids to take us to the grocery store because the store closer to where we live has higher prices. The injustice of it all!

Or maybe, instead of all that we can make fools of ourselves on national television:

Runaway Train

Today at work Stephanie had many Beatles songs stuck in her head. It is all Across the Universe's fault. But, I really didn't mind because I like the Beatles.

Eventually, I was looking at other videos and ran into this one:



Now I have four questions:
1) What is with the top hat that JC is wearing?
2) Why is there a clown? I hate clowns.
3) What does the video have to do with the song?
4) Why are Marc and Dale in the video when they really aren't doing anything?

They should put MMC episodes back on the Disney Channel.

Not Your Average Adventure Movie

I saw an early screening of “Into The Wild” on Saturday at the Paramount Studios because I am fabulous! Hahaha, actually it's because I worked on the film for a couple of months as a Production Assistant. Alas, I never went on set because the set was always somewhere else.

Here is a little plot synopsis if you are unfamiliar with the story: “Into The Wild” (written and directed by Sean Penn) is a tragic true story of Christopher McCandless (aka Alexander Supertramp), who after appeasing his parents, by graduating college at Emory University, he decided to leave his worldly possessions and family behind and venture out into the wild.

Anyway, I am proud to report that the movie was great. The whole cast was amazing. Emile Hirsch was riveting. Hal Holbrook made an Oscar worthy (supporting actor) performance that was hilarious and heartbreaking. Vince Vaughn was enjoyable. Catherine Keener was touching. Thure Lindhardt and Signe Egholm Olsen played a Danish couple who were side-splittingly comical. I suggest you go see it if you just love movies, if you like emotionally driven movies, if you like independent movies, if you like the book, or if you like true tragic stories. Don’t go see it if you are into happy endings, because this movie is not one of those.

If you know me, the real reason to see the movie is for my name in the credits! You can’t miss it, it’s like the longest line ever! Hahahaha!

There is a little controversy regarding McCandless. People either view him as stupid or dumb or unsympathetic (I mean, he did leave his whole family and didn't tell them where he was going), others as an inspiration, but I choose to view him as naive. A young man who did not properly research the area of Alaska he was camping at. And the fact he was too caught up in his own hatred toward his parents that he realized too late what love is. This is what I took from the film, someone not to be inspired by, but to learn from.

After the movie, Sean Penn (with Emile off to the side) thanked all the people who worked on the film as he lovingly said (I am paraphrasing a little here, can’t remember the exact quote) “Thanks for everyone who worked on this film, I will see you all over at the booze.” I decided not to partake in the boozing (being designated driver and all), but I did partake in the desserts.

Since this is a blog for videos here is the trailer:

Oh Britney...

I did not watch the VMA's, but I did find Britney Spear's performance online and I really have no words. Britney used to be a very good performer. I liked her. My friend, Stephanie, and I were talking about how embarrassed we were for Britney and then she mention that Britney should have said yes to Justin Timberlake's performance proposal. I totally agreed. Especially when Stephanie mentioned the VMA performance that happened like 6 or so years ago that NSYNC and Britney did. I remember watching that performance and saying how awesome it was and then continually watching it over and over again (because of course I taped it):



Britney actually looked like she loved dancing and she even lipsynced pretty well! Now, in 2007 she looked lifeless and uninterested. Britney get some help! I like the song, it's catchy!

Amusements During Church

Here is a little dialogue between a Mom and her adorable (3 year old?) son, which I later learned his name was Zack (which I dunno what spelling it is Zack Morris or Zach Gilford? I'll go with Morris):

Zack: Mom, I wanna donut.
Mom: After mass.
Zack: Is it gonna be done in a minute?
Mom shakes her head no.

This all took place within the first 5 minutes of mass. This kid needed to realize there is at least 55 more minutes until he could get that donut.

If he does get the donut hopefully he doesn't get it all over his face like this:



After the donut talk he continued coloring in his Dora the Explorer coloring book.

Zack then decides to place a bunch of stickers on top of one of the coloring book pages. He just keeps taking sticker after sticker and piling them in just one section of the page. He had a plethora of stickers such as shiny cars, Shrek, Dora the Explorer, SpiderMan, and my personal favorite Thomas the Tank Engine.

Which reminds me did anyone watch Shining Time Station? I remember Ringo Starr as the Conductor.



Anyway, later on with the weekly offering Zack is all excited to put the money in the basket. After he does so, he follows the basket until he can't see it anymore. I remember doing that with my mother when I was younger, being the one to put the envelope in the basket was so cool. Why was that? And was it to teach us anything? Like putting money in the basket for the church made you feel good so you will do it when you get older? Well I can attest to you that it doesn't because I don't have any extra money to give to the church after my rent and bills. And really I would rather buy Friday Night Lights on DVD.

The church I go to is also a school, so at the end of Mass there are a few students who read their "why they like St. Whatever School". They don't do this every weekend, just when it is give money to the school weekend. I have heard a few of these over the past 3 years and they always make me chuckle. Here are some highlights:

A 6th grade girls likes her school because of the "kind and considerate staff" (something tells me she didn't write this all by herself) and she also likes the school because she has a lot of friends "and [she] never feels dumb".

A third grade boy likes the school because it is "fun to play different computer games in computer class" and he "likes going to the library because [he] likes reading books". I like the fact he likes to read!

Usually the students say they like recess or the food, which is funny because who usually likes their school cafeteria food? Wow, I am writing a lot of "likes" in this entry.

Of course, the fact that I am making fun of kids, not paying attention during Mass, and wanting to buy TV DVDs instead of giving money to the church means I am definitley going to Hell now, aren't I!?

Amazing how they still have music videos on those music television stations!

Selfishness

I was listening to Star 98.7 this morning and it dealt with women deciding to have a kid without a man. The beginning made me more upset than what you can listen to on the site. It is called Single Motherhood.

It would be great if women decided to adopt if they wanted to have kids, but I understand there are women who want to give birth. Either way a woman should not be called "selfish" for wanting a child. Yes, a father is important, but if a woman wants a child and is prepared for it (as much as you can be) she should be able to.

The issue of "selfishness" reminds me of a Joeyism on FRIENDS where he explains to Phoebe that all people are selfish. And I tend to agree with him:


Anything you do that makes you feel good is selfish, so all you couples who have kids you are selfish, let a woman (or a man) who wants to have a kid be selfish too.

Brandon Tartikoff

I recently found out it has been 10 years to the day that Brandon Tartikoff died. For you non-tv loving watchers, who do not pay attention to who runs what...he was the head of NBC's entertainment division mainly in the 1980's.

NBC was in it's worst shape during that time and he turned the network around and ended up with five shows in the Nielsen top 10 before he left the position in 1991. He brought many great shows to the network and here are some: Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, ALF, Family Ties, The Cosby Show, Cheers, Miami Vice, The Golden Girls, Knight Rider, The A-Team, St. Elsewhere, Night Court, Highway to Heaven, Matlock, Remington Steele, A Different World, 227 and Empty Nest.<----Thanks for that Wiki!

He also helped develop Punky Brewster, so very awesome:


NBC desperately needs another turnaround, will Ben Silverman be able to do it?

Really though, my main reason for letting you all know about Brandon Tartikoff is the simple fact that I wanted to put this clip up:


That was one of my favorite episodes of Saved By The Bell. The episode had some really good cheese.

And to end, I hope you all remember: "There's no hope with dope!" Seriously, this message is the reason I never did drugs :).

What's Your Job?

Do not ask me this right now because it isn't anything exciting. It is like trying to explain Chandler Bing's job(the non-advertising one) on FRIENDS. I pretty much end up saying this about my job:



And if you were in a big betting game and had to answer "What is Chrissy's job?" you would have Monica and Rachel's reaction and have no apartment, but the birds would stay!:

Fast forward to the last minute if that is all you want to see:

Heroes:



Brothers & Sisters:



Prison Break:



What returning series are you anticipating?

When Nothing Is On

When you do not have uber cable, you are mainly on the internet with some whatever show on. Well, my whatever show was "America's Got Talent". And since the person that won was a ventriloquist, I decided to put up a video of a ventriloquist that I enjoyed watching when I was like 10.

Here is Shari Lewis with Lamb Chop's Play-Along:



Oh, and who didn't sing this song?

The Wonder Years

This show is on every week day on the ION (used to be PAX) station. The show always makes me smile and nostalgic whenever I watch it. I really wish it would come out on DVD with all the original music (because really the music is majorly important). Anyway the clip episode "Looking Back" was on tonight and I really liked the ending montage. Here it is, enjoy!:

Who Hates Clowns?

I do! I do!

I watched the latest episode of General Hospital: Night Shift (it's bad, but I continue to watch) last night and I didn't appreciate the crazy clown that had the sympton of uncontrollable laughter. I did find it funny that the character, Spinelli, had the same reaction I would have had.

Might want to fast forward like two minutes to see what I mean:


I have never really liked clowns but ever since I saw It I just can't ::shudder:: I just can't look at them without my skin crawling!

If horror movies scare you, you might not want to view this:


It is only 37 seconds but it scares me to death! You know what is really sick though I have seen the movie twice and actually want to see it again. Man, there were so many things I was terrified to do by myself after seeing that movie.

On a lighter note, I found this interview of Stephen King talking about his addiction to youtube.



I love Stephen King books, but it is going to take me awhile to read "It".

Oh and if I ever meet Ross the Intern I will never be able to step foot in his home office .

So what is your deal with clowns?

One Reason You Should Watch "Friday Night Lights"

So I finally read Bricks Explode's The Top Ten Supporting Characters on Television and saw Jesse Plemons on the list. This led me to look up clips from the tv show "Friday Night Lights". Oh how I love this show and Jesse Plemons' character, Landry. He is a big reason why I watch. (My main reason though is Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton's fabulous chemistry.)

Anyway, back to Landry! The character has made me laugh so much. When he mentioned that he was forming a Christian speed metal band called Crucifictorious I was rolling on the floor, especially since he wanted to name the band Stigmatalingus. He was overruled though! If you do not know what Christian speed metal sounds like watch this clip and fast forward to the 4:26 mark:



And here is a great clip of Landry explaining to his friend, Matt, how to win his girlfriend, Julie, back. Umm, he might not want to take the advice...



NBC has moved Friday Night Lights to Fridays. Watch it!

Dealing With A Bully

Here are two very different shows that explain two very different ways in dealing with a bully at school.

First up from the new USA show "Burn Notice", Micheal ( Jeffrey Donovan ) teaches a young boy :



Next, from Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana", Roxy ( Frances Callier ) teaches Miley and Lilly:



Which teaching would you use?

I never had a problem with bullies in school. If I did I would have wanted to use Michael's tactics.

Let's See How This Goes

I sometimes spend way too many hours looking for/watching videos, mainly on youtube, so I decided to blog about the ones I like. Here it goes!

It is ten days until "High School Musical 2" hits the Disney channel! Yes, I am one of those who totally loved the first one. How can you not love a disney movie with awesome musical numbers? Here is my absolute favorite part of the show, enjoy:
