The Bachelorette - real quick

Although I am still on vacation I wanted to just say a couple of things about the "men tell all" special tonight on the Bachelorette.

1. Wes is not only a douchebag but he is a p word as well. If he is going to act the way he did on national television he needs to show up and take his lumps like the rest of the bachelors.

2. Jake just needs to shut up. Stop talking about how hurt you are and move on. I feel as if he is too contrived for words and I hope that he is not picked to be the next bachelor.

3. David is still an ass and will never actually grow up. The man code thing is lame and stupid. Grow up frat boy and act like a real man.

4. I wish that the show had spent more time with Michael. He was one of my favorites and I love his sincerity.

5. You may think Tanner P is weird but you have to admit that there is no one like him.

6. I knew that we had not seen the last of Reid. I still don't know who she picks (if anyone) but at least he attempts to get a fair shot.

7. I was never a Juan fan but just leave the guy alone. Focus on your own shit and let him be who he wants to be.

What did you think about tonight's episode? Were the guys too practiced or genuine? Did anyone stand out as a real great one that got away? OK back to vacation for me.

In my euphoria over Neil Patrick Harris hosting the event, I never thought that once again my beloved Friday Night Lights would not get a mention. Do you see FNL on this list? Nor do I! What do you think of the nominations? Obviously this is a short list. I posted what I had (just enough to know that my show was screwed).

Harry Potter begins and I am missing it.....

The new movie starts today, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. For those of you who know me, I am addicted to the Potter series. I have read and reread the books and actually cried when I finished the final book in the series. I am normally at the theater on the day the movies open because I want no part of the critique until I have something to add. Apparently I screwed up in my planning of my summer trip because today is the day the new movie opens and I am in the car travelling from Florida to North Carolina. Meaning no movie for me today. So who saw it? Good? Bad? Making you drool for the next one? I have to know. I will see it (by myself) this weekend.

I'm Out - For Three Weeks

I am out for three weeks as I travel to North Carolina to see friends and family. I hope that ya'll don't forget about me while I am gone. I will be checking in sporadically but I am not planning on blogging (unless something major happens). Have a great July and I look forward to getting back in the groove, come August. Later taters.

The Bachelorette - In Brief (Literally)

I have a lot to do so I must make this short and sweet (just like Ed's shorts last night). Jillian went on three dates last night in Hawaii. Kiptyn was nice (read boring), Reid was tongue-tied, and Ed could not get it up; in a nutshell. All three men went back to the fantasy suite this time and Ed was a little too stressed. Thought this was a deal breaker, think again. Ed was able to tell Jillian that he loved her while Reid could not articulate what he wanted for dinner. Soooooo Reid went home and Mr. Green Shorts cannot perform Ed stuck around (I liked Reid).

We are coming up on the "men tell all" special, which is my favorite episode of the season. I cannot wait to see what Wes says about the editing of the show. He actually came out and said "don't believe everything you see on TV" (see article here). I love it when reality people deny every saying anything on the show. You have to say it to be recorded.


What did you think of last night's episode? Did Jillian make the right choice? Will Ed be able to perform? Stay tuned!

Not to be a tight ass but....

AOL listed today the top 10 toys just flying off the shelves right now. Number 10 is ...Tattoo Barbie. Yes that is right peopleTotally Stylin Tattoos Barbie: She comes with 40 no-mess tattoo designs that you can put on her clothes, body and even on you, too.

Just what message are we sending our children with this one?

Is Entourage Still Entourage?

Did anyone else watch the season premiere of Entourage on HBO last night? For someone (me) who has been watching this show since the first season; the entire thing left me a little flat. Entourage is at its best when the boys are hanging out and Ari is yelling at them about something. I know that we are supposed to embrace the fact that everyone is getting older and maturing (except Turtle who pees in the bathtub...gross) but this show is not this show without some quality guy time. I need for Vince to become popular again (which is happening) and the boys to get rid of the girlfriends and return to the roots of being obnoxious tools trolling for sex. Is that too much to ask? On another note; I understand that Lloyd wants to get a promotion and not be Ari's assistant anymore but what would we do without Lloyd? Last night, his storyline was the most fun of the episode. Of course I will keep watching and continue to try to get behind the new mature Entourage but as I get older I am not sure that I want the boys to. What is the fun in that?
