Tired and Procrastinating

I tivo'd the first show of "The Price Is Right" with new host Drew Carey on Monday, and my snap judgement is that it's pretty good. Drew Carey is no Bob Barker and at times seemed to lose control over the audience (a host no-no). However, he was in his own way, still very charming and seemed to really enjoy being up there. Plus, all the games are the same comfortable ones that you used to watch when you were home sick with the flu. I think in time he'll get more comfortable and will be able to handle the crowd and the game like an old pro. I have to keep reminding myself that Barker hosted the show for years and to really be able to compare the two, I'll have to wait until Carey hosts until his flat top haircut turns white as well. This clip has been on the Internet for about a week or so, as far as I can tell and it HI-LARIOUS! I highly recommend you watching. This woman is living out a dream of mine, albeit, with more gross results. p.s. I would never...

Movies are a hobby of mine, I guess you could say. I'm not a film school geek, but I can turn a phrase here or there (The color timing on Traffic was great because it helped separate the 3 different storylines throughout the movie). And I watch a lot of movies and television, movies about television, TV shows about movies, etc. A lot. To put it simply, I enjoy watching the picture shows. Plus, my job pretty much centers around it and TV, so it surrounds me all day. Which is great. Anyway, every now and then, I'll have a few observations from the movies or TV shows that I have been watching. Hence, my new series "Dapples from the Movies (or TV)". Just little blogs about what's going on and what I think about them. We'll see how it goes... p.s. I'm just one lady with an opinion, so you know, take it with a grain of salt. Beginnings and Endings Given that we just ended the summer rush of high priced blockbusters and have just begun to get into ...

Season 2 Premiere of "Friday Night Lights" is tonight! Watch it! Watch it! Watch it!

Ok, so I just tried to write some great synopsis of "Pushing Daisies" that debuted Wednesday on ABC, as well as champion the great "Friday Night Lights" that premieres Friday on NBC. It was going to be great! The surreal "Daisies" vs. the real "FNL". However, every time I try, I either a) get interrupted to work (the gall!) or b) get distracted by the fact that Lindsay don't writ no good . So, here's what I have to say about these two shows, in a nutshell: * Pushing Daisies - ABC Wednesdays: I liked this show, up until about 40 minutes in. It was really well designed and super super quirky and kinda funny, with a pretty good cast. Then the cute whimsical factor started getting on my nerves. I really wonder how long they will be able to continue this show without the ideas and themes getting old and annoying. Really? They hold hands with themselves in place of holding hands with each other? Rea...
