Kudos to the Lost Writers

A Flash Back AND a Flash Forward...genious! Jin dead, not cool.

(Update: Someone on another website pointed out that the headstone said died 9/22/04, the date of the crash - so maybe he isn't dead, just still on the island - this show is such a tease and I love it).

Ooks

We have not always been die hard fans of Americal Idol - I think we only watched one full season (Fantasia) and caught episodes here and there for all the rest. But, we have been watching this go around and I've decided I like the ooks. David COOK and BrOOKe White. Mackenzie likes Micheal Johns (I'd take him as my third choice, too bad hes doesn't have an ook in his name)and David Archuleta.

DVR

My baby learned a new skill! No not one of my children - I talk about them on the other blog - my DVR! When I scroll through the list it tells me if the show is NEW! This will really come in handy when all the shows come back.

Gather 'Round - We Have a Winner! (Project Runway)

Okay so my top three prediction was correct and even though I was rooting for Jillian (althought for the first time in four seasons, I didn't dislike any of the top three), I'm fine that Christian won - he had just been so cocky (and yes, he probably had good reason for that) throughout the entire season BUT he did tone it down during the finale. So, I am happy - especially since he's so tiny he could fit in my pocket, when Heidi hugged him on the runway, I could not believe how itty bitty he seemed. And bonus points for him, he made Victoria Beckham smile - he needs an extra prize for that!

I meant to blog last week after the Chris/Rami episode. Has Chris never heard that joke (Seinfeld?) that hair is loved, sought after, admired AS LONG AS IT'S ATTACHED TO A HEAD. The moment even one hair is seperated from the head it becomes vile & disgusting, find one strand of hair in your food and your gag reflexes go out of control (even if that hair came out of the chef that walked by earlier and you commented - "Wow, she has the most beautiful hair in the world"). You DO NOT dye hair black and attach it to clothes. Sure, it looks neat but as soon as you mention that it is hair that used to be beautiful but is no longer - key part - attached to a head, people have problems!

Top Chef, Chicago - next week! (Did you see Padma in the audience? She should be a guest judge sometime)

Auf Wiedersehen

Jimmy Kimmel

Since I posted on the funny Sarah Silverman/Matt Damon response, of course I have to post about Jimmy Kimmel's funny star studded video response...similar content to Matt & Sarah but with Jimmy & Ben Affleck. You know where to go and what to search for.

Knight Rider

Did anyone happen to catch that two hour elaborate Ford commercial...I mean the new Knight Rider last night? I thought it would be fun to watch but I thought it was horrible. What's it saying when the best acting of the night comes from David Hasselhoff during his three minute guest appearance? At least KITTs still cool (and tidbit - voiced by Val Kilmar).

Happy Birthday to you! Hope you have a great day!

Credit

Mackenzie is going to have FANTASTIC credit! She LOVES this freecreditreport.com commercial! She will stop whatever she is doing to watch it and she will rewind it a few times to see it again, and again, and again...

I Heart Tim Gunn

My sister-in-law (thanks Andrea!) just e-mailed me a few links for some Project Runway spoilers. I was wondering what was going on because the finale for Project Runway is taped during Fashion Week in NY but we still have five contestants...looks like all five of them got to show a collection even if it will be narrowed down to three for the finale.

This show is "fierce", I think Christian would agree. Anyway, click HERE for pictures of their collections and HERE or HERE for other Project Runway juice.

My predictions for final three are Rami, Christian, and Jillian and I want Jillian to take it all.

I'll go ahead and put this out in the universe too - I hope Jack gets to be on the next season and I love that he's dating Dale from Top Chef...Bravo Love Connection!

For Valentine's Day

Mackenzie has been wanting an e-mail address for a while so during our snow days I set her (and Peyton, has to be just like her big sister) up with one. They mainly e-mail each other, me, Jason and their grandparents and it's a lot of e-mail like this:
To each other "What do you want to do today?"
To Me "Can we have chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast?" to which I reply to by looking up from the computer and saying with words "You could have just asked me that in person."
I check their e-mail every day or two just in case they get an e-mal to "enlarge" something, or from "hot girl". Today when I checked I found this e-mail from Mom and since Valentine's day is coming up I thought I'd post these pictures...this dog is so cute! What a perfect heart.



From the e-mail:
A PUPPY has been born in Japan with a large, clear, love-heart-shaped pattern in his coat. The Chihuahua was born in May as one of a litter to a breeder. Shop owner Emiko Sakurada said it was the first time a puppy with the marks had been born out of a thousand she had bred. She had no plans to sell the puppy, which has been named 'Heart-kun'. The long-coated male Chihuahua puppy was born in Odate, northern Japan
I think it would have been funny if they named it "Star". (I did check Snopes to find out if this was actually photoshopped or spray painted and couldn't find anything about it.)

All the posting going on I wanted to add some links that may have gotten buried below.

Fun Superbowl rap that was on Fox duing pregame off of some guy's MySpace.

Super Bowl Sunday (pregame – halftime)

Family Day/Night for Superbowl Sunday. Peyton woke up with a stomach bug and we hung around the house all day.

We all played a board game during all the pregame stuff (Settlers, or actually Die Siedler Von Catan) a game my friend Tara brought us from Germany – and our favorite game to play. I'm sure we aren't playing exactly right, the directions and cards you play with are in German. We got the English directions off the website and changed a couple of things.

I actually do enjoy football, I don't watch just for the commercials, but I may not have the best reasons for picking a team . Tonight I'm rooting for the Giants. Reasons – they are the underdogs, I like Eli more than Tom Brady…hmmm if I think of more reasons, I'll post them later.

My random thoughts on the Super Bowl:

• Lots of good commercials and skits in the couple of hours leading up to the game.
  
• I wish Paula Abdul would just re-release Straight Up.
  
• Oh – John Krasinski! I may have to change teams, he's going for the Patriots. He is so funny – when Ryan Seacrest asks who he's rooting for he says (something like) "It would be awkward if I was going for NY wearing this hat", Ryan was just too short to see…
  
• I'm going to have to look up that guy with the myspace rapping about the Superbowl "Soup or Bowl" commercial.
  
• Not even a minute into the game, how are their pants so dirty already?
  
• Chris Kattan saved that Pepsi commercial! And was that LL Cool J?
  
• Oh look! Jim Carrey & Jenny McCarthy! Just heard an interview with her and Ryan Seacrest on the radio this morning and I teared up when she talked about how good Jim is with her son.
  
• That Peyton Manning was so good on SNL. I hope his brother gets a ring too.
  
• OH NO! Not an interception! (It probably actually happened 20 minutes ago since we've been pausing it to get dinner, etc. but we can't exactly fast forward the commercials).
  
• It IS a shame they can't open the roof.
  
• I want to see Leatherheads.
  
• Icky commercial with the heart.
  
• Come on Giants – you have 10 seconds to score before halftime.
  
• Nada.
  
• Halftime, Hello Tom Petty.
  

Matt Damon

Did you see the Matt Damon/Sarah Silverman joke song/video that was on Jimmy Kimmel? I thought it was so funny because everything I've ever seen with Matt Damon, he is so serious (granted I've never seen the movie where he was stuck to Greg Kinear). Go to You Tube and search (WITHOUT the kiddos - not so nice word in the title and song) for Matt Damon Sarah Silverman to watch. Or go here http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/01/matt-damon-sings-dances-_n_84456.html , or heck - it's all over the internet, you've probably already seen it.

From another website: "It’s funnier if you know that Kimmel often says: “Our apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time” near the end of his show, a long-running gag lampooning instances where shows cannot feature their last guest due to time constraints."

They had the right stuff!

Just in case you haven't heard (on The View, People.com, some show making fun of The View talking about it)...The New Kids On The Block are reuniting! This is probably the part where some of you reading this will post a comment about my age :). Of course, I was a HUGE fan, t-shirts, buttons, posters, cassettes, VHS tapes (if only I had put all the money I spent on those things into a savings account instead).

Feel free to comment on who your favoite was(mine was Joey, and sometimes Jordan).

Lost

Tonight! It's been so long since it was on. We did watch last year's season finale that was on last night and the extra tidbits that popped up on the bottom were helpful (and proof the writers really need to come back) in jogging my memory and getting me excited for tonight!
