Pun-kin Carving Part Deux

I was going to wait and let this one be a surprise, but it turned out to be such a masterpiece I couldn't keep it to myself until then.

I really had no idea I was such a punk-in artiste!

This Is What I Do When I Don't Have To Work On A Thursday Afternoon:

I don't have anything particularly exciting or interesting to say today, but I plan on celebrating USA Week with Jen-nay and all my other single and happy friends!

I am sitting here watching the series premier of Kid Nation. Something which Jen-nay had blogged earlier which blew my mind. And 40 minutes into the first show, I have run a full gambit of emotions. It's pretty annoying and painful, and in fact I turned it after the first 20 minutes, because I couldn't take it anymore, but I turned it back. Partly because there is nothing else on, and partly because it's much like an accident from which you just can't look away. The kids are bratty, clueless, annoying, too big for their britches and funny. All at the same time; and the kids seem a bit too prompted or scripted. I think another turn off of this show for me is the fact that it reminds me too much of my work. I can't quite decide how I feel about this show, but I have an idea that it will not become part of my weekly Hump Day routine.

A Case of the Hump Day...

Today is a very blah day for me. Not a bad day, just blah. I feel very unmotivated and even less creative. I'm validating my laziness because my horoscope today said "This is a good day for you to stay in and rest, dear Cancer." I am a "dear Cancer", wouldn't you say? The perfect melange of crab and 69.


In my boredom this evening, I did find out an interesting tidbit about myself from quizme.com. My DJ name would be DJ Wicked Wang. (See above Cancer statement) This, of course, is of no surprise to me.

It also seems that my neighbor is constructing a great arc to save humanity, since I have heard nothing but hammering since approximately 4:30. (Current time 7:45 EST) It appears the building must be done very slowly, one nail at a time with exactly four deliberate strikes from the hammer. I might just have to go against my horoscope's better judgment today and get out. In the mere interest of my sanity.

What's On Your Boob Tube?

As a sort of nouveau TV junkie, I'm really excited about the new seasons of shows coming up this fall. Fire up your TiVos, here are a few that I'm looking forward to make part of my nightly routine.

Dirty Sexy Money (ABC Wednesdays @10)
Besides having the best TV title since The Flying Nun, it also stars Peter Krause, someone I became quite intrigued with during my Johnny-come-lately fling with Six Feet Under. In this series, he plays a snippy attorney who becomes a family's personal lawyer. Men's Journal says "TV doesn't need another wealthy, dysfunctional family, but an exception can be made for one that melds the Kennedys with the Hiltons and includes Donald Sutherland." And I couldn't agree more.

Cavemen (ABC Tuesdays @ 8)
I know, I know. But I have been looking forward to this series for some time now. The Geico cavemen commercials have always been a guilty pleasure of mine, and now that they have their own series I have to watch. At least until the overly played out culture gap becomes too much to bear.


Cane (CBS Tuesdays @ 10)
Although it might be a tad melodramatic, the preview for this soap-operaesque series looks pretty good. (BTW, spell-check for that word suggests Kafkaesque. That's a real word?) Starring Jimmy Smits, Nestor Carbonell (who played the hunky gay guy on Suddenly Susan, if it's not too painful to remember that show) and a flock of other Latino sounding actors , I think this drama about a Cuban family running a rum business will be a hit. A review online compares it to a modern Godfather. Good enough for me!


Flipping Out (Bravo Tuesdays @ 10)
Not necessarily a brand new show, since it premiered earlier this summer, but an entertaining one none the less. This new reality show follows the life of extremely anal and OCD Jeff Lewis, a seemingly very successful house flipper in CA. Not only are his strange habits entertaining enough, but the rest of his employees, friends and ex-boyfriend turned business partner make it worth the watch.

These, along with my NBC favorites like The Office, Scrubs and 30 Rock should make this fall's TV viewing pretty enjoyable!
