| My TV Reviews |
Hola amigos. If you're wondering why I don't post as much as I used to is because my days really don't have much variety in them. I pretty much just wake up around 8:30, do school work from 9-4ish, exercise for about 30 min, make dinner, and then watch ER reruns or whatever show is on, and hang out with Craig. Oh maybe that's what I can talk about..my view on shows this season. But first, an update for you: health journey is going well, I am down 17.5 lbs from where I started a month ago. My goal is to continue at the rate of 2 lbs per week until I reach a healthy weight for my height. Slow and steady wins the race... and keeps the pounds off.
 So... a few weeks back I talked about the shows I was going to follow this season. Well, my priorities have been compromised due to a growing obsession with past seasons of ER. You see, I've always loved ER and have been watching on and off for years upon years (it's in its 14th season), but ever since I got season 4 for Christmas last year, I have been completely addicted in downloading and watching every epi since then. I just finished season 9 a few nights ago and I am SO SAD that Abby and Carter don't stay together... but I knew they were doomed from the start, being that in the current season she is married to Luka.. but whatever... anyway, all that to say that most nights I don't feel like watching anything but ER, so I haven't given some of the new shows as much of a chance as I would have.
Grey's Anatomy: definitely funnier than the last half of last season, which I appreciate. I enjoy watching but am not a fan of all the new interns... I miss Addison there though, she should've stayed. Oh and the George/Izzy thing irritated me to no end. I'm happy about the turn of events with it though and hope that George and Callie work it out.
ER: As I mentioned earlier, it is in it's 14th (and rumored final) season and doing pretty well. Unfortunately Luka and Abby are on their way out now, which is sad, but if it ends then it wont matter. Since I'm so engrossed in what's happening in past seasons, I can hardly pay attention to what's going on, except that I enjoy watching.
Private Practice: I'm really curious to hear people's thoughts on this show. I have been watching since the first epi, but last week I just couldn't be bothered. Is it just me, or do they keep ending up at the hospital? Wasn't the point of this show to be different than Grey's? I like the cast, especially Amy Brenneman, but the show is just not catching me. I'll be a casual watcher, at best.
Dirty Sexy Money: I watched the first 3 epi's, and really liked it, but decided to let it go a few weeks ago due to the fact that I really just wanted to watch ER.
Pushing Daisies: Super cute show..is anyone watching this? It's really funny and well written. Unfortunately it's on at the same time as my Spanish class so I only see the last half each week.. but I think I might tape them because they are really good. I didn't start off with this show, but my parents did and got me into it.
Law and Order SVU: I don't think I'll ever be able to give up this show, even though I can feel the writers running out of story lines. My guess is that it will last only 1 or 2 more seasons, but it won't be the end for Mariska Hargitay. She's generated a huge fan base and will probably do more films after SVU. Regarding this season, it's been pretty good, slightly predictable, but better than last season.
Okay that's it for my reviews. Let me know if you have any thoughts or if you've gotten into any new shows I didn't mention!Labels: Dirty Sexy Money, ER, Grey's Anatomy, Law and Order SVU, mariska hargitay, Private Practice, Pushing Daisies |

 Hello from Granville! I am happily enjoying my time here with my parents. I got in yesterday, Craig comes Saturday, and we'll be home Tuesday. Not too much time, so we're going to fill our days with lots of plain ol' hanging out goodness. Yesterday we ate Chinese take-out, took a walk, and I helped my dad upgrade to firefox (about time!). Today we ate breakfast, hung out, ate lunch, hung out and watched some SVU, went out for Mexican, and then celebrated my birthday since I wont see them until August. I was allowed to open presents during the commercials of Smallville..hahaha... seriously though ;) It was fun. Here's some pics from my time here. I was also greeted with a new sight in the living room ---- check out the flat screen HD TV!! So cool!
Tomorrow we'll go to Athens, Ohio, to visit my brother at school. He still has a few weeks left so he wasn't able to come home this week. Looking forward to that!Labels: firefox, granville, Law and Order SVU, Ohio, Smallville |

| My Final Review |
Well last night was SVU's season finale. It was okay, though it was a continuation of a different story line that happened earlier in the season which I barely remembered...so that kind of sucked. Basically everything came crashing down, and the end of the episode left us wondering: a) if Captian Cragen will resign due to pressure from his bosses  b) what Elliot's going to do now that his wife is pregnant with his baby, but they are going through a divorce (!) c) Will Olivia get charged for giving money to a fugitive (her brother) d) Will D.A. Casey Novak get fired for losing a huge case So many questions... I get the whole "leave us on the edge of our seat" thing that the TV shows want to do in the finales, but why does it seem like the majority of the time, it's all bad stuff? Why not leave you with an ending where it's so exciting and fun and leaves you hanging? Not the whole "build everything up and then tear it down" thing that I've seen.. Oh well, just TV I guess. Now what will I do in the evenings?? Labels: Chris Meloni, Law and Order SVU, mariska hargitay |

| My Reviews |
 The past week has been full of season finales of all my shows. It's been a great season for me this year... a few new shows, a few of the same ol', and a few dropped.
Firstly, the ones that have remained strong: Law and Order: SVU, America's Next Top Model, 24
Second, the new ones: Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters
Ones that I dropped this year: American Idol, ER (though I caught about half the season, I wasn't able to keep up this year)
Here are my reviews of the finales:
Grey's Anatomy (SPOILER, don't read if you didn't see it)
Dang...talk about ripping our hearts out this season! My goodness... I seriously think Shonda Rhimes has issues with happy couples..maybe she got really hurt or doesn't believe in marriage or something..either way, this season she successfully hooked everyone up with someone, only to have each one fall apart in the finale. Not too impressed with how she left things, though I was extremely impressed with Sandra Oh's performance! Amazing...
24
This season was a bit rocky and dramatic, though I am actually pleased with the finale. Jack has decided to disappear once more, so that will be interesting to see where he pops back up again in season 7. There were a few things left unfinished for me though, especially with the death of former Pres. Logan..I mean, if Bill Clinton were killed, I think the world would be talking about it. Logan's death was not brought up once after he was killed, and I was disappointed with that. All in all, pretty good... I was surprised with where they left Audrey. But I'm glad she and Jack didn't walk off into the sunset...that would've been too much.
Brothers and Sisters
So far, my favorite finale. Not sure of anyone else in the world besides Craig and I that actually watch this show, but it has continuously been good TV. Not overly dramatic, or boring - it's been very real, actually. I really like it. The youngest son has just been shipped off to war though, so not sure if that means he's off the show next year, or what..?
America's Next Top Model
I'm a farely new watcher of this show..last season was my first. It is quite addicting, really. Not much to say except that I don't think Natasha the Russian should've made it that far at all...and I think out of the final 3, Renee' should've won. Oh well.
Lastly, SVU. Hasn't happened yet, but it's tomorrow night, so I'll let you know then.
Good seasons everyone!

| The shows continue |
 Liv was pretty rockin tonight on SVU.
Here's a little synopsis for all you who former SVU fans ;)
Last week she illegally ran her DNA to see if she had any relatives in the system, (remember she doesn't know who her dad is...she is a product of rape) and turns out she has a brother. In tonight's episode we meet the brother, who seems really sweet and they totally click, even though it takes her a while to finally admit why she's been stalking him.
Then, the episode ends as we find out that the brother is a rapist too..! Wow...to be honest, I am suprised they played that card, considering it proves Liv's theory that violence runs in the family.
Great episode though, good El/Liv moments.. And basically now the captian is considering splitting them up because Elliot's been covering for Olivia this whole time about the brother thing. They're in pretty deep...
good show.. dontcha miss it? You know you do...Labels: Law and Order SVU, mariska hargitay, Olivia Benson, SVU |
