Game Time

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Welcome back!

It is getting to be game time on t he television. Everywhere you look there are sports games that are showing. Anything from golf to baseball might be on.

If you are not a sports fan, you are in trouble unless you have a lot of videos, or have Nintendo ds games that you can watch.

As for me, I have videos that I cannot even remember what movies I do have. I have a favorite few (but still want more of them), and a lot that my husband likes also. I guess that game time to us means MOVIES>

Either…Or

I am complaining about commercials again. Fair warning

There are two main types of commercials on television these days. One gives warm feelings, annd the other leaves me with a chill inside that people actually think that it is okay to put such stuff on the air.

WARM The most recent warm one involved a man wanting to propose to his lady. he realizes that she loves cats, gets a kitten and puts a little tag on the kitten that asks her to marry ‘them’. Kudos for Fancy Feast, that commercial is cute, warm and caring.

CHILLED A woman is interviewing some sharks and asking them about the taste of people they have eaten. They like a certain one who tasted better. She lets another person into the room, the sharks tell him to go ahead and finish his candy bar…….WHAT are they doing? Are they condoning human sacrifice to advertise Snickers? Shame

TV Time

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Yes, it is getting to TV time again.

Everywhere that I look, I see sports on TV. People are wearing nba shirts, talking about their favorite sports, getting snacks for eating in front of the TV.

I just wish that I could see all of my favorite shows in spite of all the sports that will be on TV. I am afraid to say it, but i am not a fan of sports on TV.

To some I guess that would be blasphemy. To me, it means get out the videos that I have packed. :)

Where’s the beef?

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Do you remember the old commercial that had the little old lady looking at her burger and asking the question above? I do.

I also remember the commercial about the giant dumpling the the man saying the her couldn’t believe that he ate the whole thing. I do not remember the product that they were advertising either. Weird commercials help you to remember them. Of course some of those commercials used good looking guys taking baths to smell good. I didn’t mind them even though they weren’t advertising body wash for acne, but body wash to smell good.

I miss the bunny with the sun glasses and the drum. The last one of those commercials that I saw had him getting abducted by aliens. Is that why he isn’t on the TV right now? Maybe when they get him back he will be a lot bigger. Some commercials make me laugh. Those I like. Right now, unfortunately, most of what we see has to do with the up and coming elections.

I do NOT like political ads. Too bad there is no longer truth in advertising required on TV. Now that would be interesting.

I’m bored

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I am bored.

Great news isn’t it? Well, I guess that we all get to that point at one time or another. We have an entertainment center with TV, VCR, tapes (yes tapes), DVD’s, and a lot of other stuff on it. I just wish that entertainment centers would also come with their own entertainment.

I really don’t feel like watching a movie. TV does not really suit me right now. Maybe a book to read would be nice. The books that I have in our home, I have already read. I guess that I could go to sleep and join the millions of others in dream land. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - oops, see ya laters.

Politics, politics, YUK

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Everywhere that I look on the TV right now, there are political ads everywhere, everywhere….did I say EVERYWHERE?

This man says this, that man says that……noise, noise, NOISE!

I am an opinionated fat broad and even I don’t have as many opinions as the politicians do in all of their ads.

I know that they are trying to get elected, I just wish that they would tell the truth.

OOPS, if they did that they would not get elected….would they?

Am I the only one who feels that the political course of our country has been side tracked by the media frenzy that goes with elections?

Did You See?

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Did you see the program on TV last night? You know the models wearing all of the underwear?

Have you ever noticed just how skinny those models are? They must know the best diet supplements to take to stay that skinny.

Did you know that the average American woman is not 110 lbs any more? She would be about 140. In the old days she would be called Reuben-esque. Meaning that she has curves. Yes, those ladies on the catwalk did have curves, but some of them were rather slender. I sometimes wonder just who actually wears the things advertised.

What is it?

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

It seems like everywhere I turn I hear about bluray.

What is it? What does it do? How does it work.

I must be left out of the loop because I only have regular DVD. I still use VHS tapes and watch them, too. I’ve heard that bluray is supposed to be better, but I do not have the machine to find out. Maybe someone will get me one for Christmas. Of course, then I’ll have to get some of those discs to put in and watch, too. Our video collection right now mubers in the hundreds. One of our friends said that we could supply a video store. Maybe a small one. At least we do not have to worry about having things on TV that we do not want to watch. :)

Science Fiction

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

I love to read. Science Fiction and Historical Romance books are amond some of my favorites.

Now when I heard about plasma mounts, I thought it was about some sort of futuristic gun mount. Nope, it is about mounting a plasma TV set. Learn something new everyday.

I can almost see it - you drive your car down the freeway, some idiot cuts in front of you and cuts you off, you use your plasma gun to give him a flat tire so he can’t do that to anyone else. Maybe not, that would start a new type of road rage, and that AIN’T nice.

Oh well, I used to wish that I could have an old fashioned arny tank for a vehicle so that no one would crowd me on the road. However with the price of gas these days NO WAY. Dreams can be fun. :)

Tell Me A Story

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Soap Operas. Stories, supposedly about someone else’s everyday life. The writers tell a story each time, it does not need to make sense, but people watch anyway.

So, tell me a story. If it were to be true to life, no one would watch. Some of the story lines are very far out. Who am I kidding, most of the story lines are far out. Some are in outer space.

Even TV programs at night can get to be soap operas. Reality shows do not really show reality since the people know that they are being filmed, or videoed. I like books. If I don’t like a ’scene’, I just turn some pages and the scene changes. Can’t do that with TV. Yes, I like stories. I enjoy being entertained. Many of us do enjoy that, too.
