Post contributed by Fletcher Vargas I got DirecTV a while back and I didn’t think I’d use it all that much – boy was I wrong about that! I have gotten utterly addicted to BRAVO and all the reality shows on it. It’s a great network all around and they do other stuff, too, like some really good old school movies but why I really tune in is all the reality stuff. I love all the Housewives series, especially the Beverly Hills seasons but I’m having a hard time watching this year with all the off screen drama surrounding the death of one of the husbands. I also really like Flipping Out with that decorator guy Jeff Lewis but man is he hard to watch sometimes. He’s so mean and straightforward – it’s no wonder he can’t keep his staff or clients happy! Look at me talking about all these people like I know them…that’s the side effect of watching too much TV I guess! I never would have imagined I’d watch this much each day but I really like it!
We are done yet?
My husband picked up his new car last night. It's been a little over a week since his accident. I hope, now that things are settled a bit, that life will get back to normal. We have been so busy trying to get things done that it seems nothing was done! Once we get through this week, I think we will be OK. Since my daughter has picture day this week, here is a video with tips on how to survive it:
I am so tired
This has been a very stressful week so far. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be going right for me. And it's only Wednesday! I almost feel like I need a patient monitor to keep an eye on my heart rate and whatnot. I really hope that this week starts to calm down so I can get my life back in order. Maybe I should try to just sleep the rest of it away.
Luck and tarot
Our luck has been off-and-on lately. While we didn't get hit by the flood, my husband did get into a car accident due to the roads being wet and slippery. He didn't get hurt but his car is totaled. Even though that means he has to buy a new car, the rental he has right now is nice. Bad things have been happening but they aren't terrible. (And I'd rather be car shopping than shopping for WholesaleInsurance.net Dental Insurance.) I have about 6 more episodes of the current jdorama I am watching. Ideally, I'd like to have that finished by Monday but I'm not sure our schedule will allow it.
Also, I am selling tarot card readings: http://yumenotarot.livejournal.com/4113.html Please take advantage of the sale!
The flood is over?
The rains have finally ended. My daughter's school was closed on Friday because the buses couldn't get to many of the bus stops in the area. I'm very glad that there was very little rain this weekend and that the water is receding. We can now drive around town with almost no problems. (The only problem left is mud on the road.) It's nice when life is back to normal.
No more water!
There is some massive flooding going on in my area of the state. Luckily, my house is on a bit of a hill so we are unlikely to have any flood problems ourselves. However, many of the bridges in/out of town are getting close to being underwater. Of course, there is supposed to be more rain tonight. The rain isn't supposed to stop until Monday. (I hope it doesn't rain on Sunday so my daughter can play tennis.) It will be terrible if the rain keeps going. A friend of mine showed me a site called My Drama List. You can keep track of what Asian dramas you have watched. As I was filling out My List, I realized that I am missing a few reviews on here. I could have sworn I wrote reviews for the three seasons of Trick but they aren't here. I'm not sure I remember the shows well enough to review them properly and I'm not even sure I could re-download them to re-watch them. I will have to figure out a good solution.
JDorama review: Boss 2
I absolutely loved the first season of Boss so I was looking forward to the second season. For the most part, it didn't let me down. The only part I didn't like was Kimoto's "banishment." While they tried to replace her with two characters, it just wasn't the same. Granted, I would love to see Kurohara Rika become Kimoto's protege of sorts. That would be a pretty awesome spin-off.
My favorite part of the series is that it is a detective series but it keeps humor in their lives as well. It's not all stuffy or anything. I am really looking forward to news of a third season.
