Premier week has been great...even better than most as when you are unemployed evening tv can be what you live for!
I missed Chuck earlier this week. TiVo was having issues. I plan to watch it online tomorrow. The other new shows I am excited about are:
Private Practice - Thought they did a good job with Addison's exit from Seattle Grace. High hopes for this one. Pushing Daisies - Have to wait a couple more weeks for this one. Back to You - This one looks good...I miss the good sitcoms!
And of course the old favorites are back too!
Grey's Anatomy - Again thought they did a good job with the characters exiting the series. Looks to be a fun season!! Desperate Housewives Brothers and Sisters
I can't wait for the Sunday premiers of the latter two!!
Lost comes back in December and of course American Idol in January!!
ABC has done a great job not only in these videos but also in the music selections for their shows. If you watch and listen closely the way they integrate the music into the television shows is amazing. Grey's Anatomy is the master of this! I remember one scene in which Meridith had to remove a bomb out of someone and the lyrics perfectly matched the scene.
Can you tell I am excited about premier week!! My only disappointment thus far is that the cable was having issues last night and I missed the first episode of Chuck!!
I just watched the finale of Reba. They did a great job with the ending...it just stinks that the new CW kicked them out because they didn't fit the mold....when Reba was the highest preforming comedy the network had. I remember watching the pilot with my Grandma six years ago...I just wish she was here to see the ending.
At the end of the show, Reba and family remarked that six years ago things felt like things were falling apart all over the place. An affair, a divorce, a teenage pregnancy among other things were at the forefront of their lives. Tonight, they realized that everything happened for a reason and their lives were better for it.
My life has led a similar path over the last six years. Six years ago I was in debt up to my ears, had a very rocky relationship with my family, and watched my friends go through some tough times themselves.
Six years later, I am finally out of debt, have an awesome job, a good realtionship with my family and am happy.
I think that it is possible to get down and think that life is not worth living, but at those times when you hit rock bottom the only way to look it up. It is amaing what changes five years can bring...and when you think about it....five years in a lifetime is really not that long.
That said....I can't wait to see what the next five years bring!!
Happy President's Day tomorrow! Hope you have the day off like I do!!
I am having a landline phone installed tomorrow. I haven't had a landline since I was in college. I don't even own a phone any more. I sold the last one I had in a garage sale before I moved out here. Gotta run to Wal-Mart and buy a cheapy. I am having it installed for two reasons - neither of them actually involve speaking on the telephone. One - I need to have the fax machine hooked up so that I have that ability on days I work from home. Two - I need it to complete the initial setup on my TiVos. I haven't been able to hook them up because I didn't have a phone line. I didn't want to bother anyone else because you have to hook them up to a TV and a phone line and they can't be unplugged for 8 hours after setup. I am not that excited about the phone line...but I can't wait for TiVo!!!
The first post on my blog provided the explanation for the title of the blog - I'm Not Opinionated. My disclaimer was there. I wasn't sure if this was an accurate statement or not. Well, I have been reading a few of my posts and have come to the conclusion that a better title would have been I'm Not Obstinate because I obviously have some opinions!
This blog serves two purposes. The first being to keep in touch with my family and friends. The second is hopefully to elicit discussion around my opinions. This is the best part of blogging! From discussion comes understanding. Let's discuss!
