Couch Potato News

So the new Fall Season of television started this week. ((CHUCK'S BACK!!)) I thought I'd give a few new shows a shot. All I can say is "Meh." Seriously, just Meh.

The Event~It follows Chuck Monday nights on NBC so it was a natural that I'd wanna try it. Plus, it has Jason Ritter and Blair Underwood who are...YUM. So I tried it and...Meh. Wasn't really bad just kinda bland and hard to follow. All that skipping around in time from present to four days ago to present to 11 weeks ago to present to--well, you get the idea. I honestly have no clue how it ended because I changed the channel halfway through to watch...

Mike and Molly~Which, I mostly enjoyed. I adore Melissa McCarthy who formerly portrayed Loreli Gilmore's best friend Sookie on Gilmore Girls. Molly is similar to Sookie in that she's cute and sweet and fun...except Molly knows that she's a big girl. Sookie was just Sookie and she happened to be a big girl. Nothing was ever said or even implied about Sookie's weight. That being said, Mike and Molly was still cute and has the potential to get better. I'll give it a few more watches.

Hawaii 5-0~I was gonna stay up for this one since it comes on at 9 but the first five minutes didn't grab me so I went to bed. I'll try again on the encore Saturday night. It'll give me something to watch Sat. night other than Y&R marathon on soapnet. lol

Raising Hope~Blech! Not funny. Not cute. Not even all that intelligent. Just dumb.

Running Wild~I really wanted to like this one because I like Keri Russell. But...see above. Just a repeat of Blechness.

Better With You~Actually pretty funny. Joanna Garcia (of Reba fame) is hilarious and while the show could use a little work I think it's watchable. I'm willing to give it a few more watches.

I meant to watch Undercovers last night but I forgot about it. Will be giving Blue Bloods (Tom Selleck--YUM!) a try Friday night. (WHEN MEDIUM'S BACK!!!) Or maybe I'll wait until the encore Saturday night. It's opposite Haven Friday night which I'm not willing to give up.

So yeah, loving SyFy's Haven. It's sorta like The 4400 without the missing people coming back in a ball of light. And it's got an ongoing mystery throughout the series which makes it a never miss.  Also enjoying ABC Family's Melissa and Joey. Cute and a good mix of adult and childish humor. Though both of these shows are probably about to wrap up their summer seasons. All of my USA and TNT shows have already wrapped until December or next summer. (Covert Affairs can't come back in December??? Why not?? *sob*)

So I guess we'll see what sticks and what doesn't. But so long as I have Chuck, Ghost Hunters, Medium and Desperate Housewives, it'll be good.

I enjoyed Hawaii 5-0. The men are GORGEOUS! I have loved Mick (Alex O'Laughlin)since Moonlight and the other guy is James Caan's son! I hadn't realized it at first. I saw the name Scott Caan on the beginning credits and thought, "what? Is he related to James Caan?" He's the same guy that played one of the silly younger 'kids' from Ocean's Twelve. And as the show played on, I watched his face and it was amazing. It was like James Caan was young again, but way cuter. His expressions and the eye crinkle. Super cute! His character is this great guy. Course, Alex's character is great, broody, tough, sexy. Yum!

I also watched The Event Monday night and agree that, unless you were paying close attention, it was a bit weird and confusing. I'm probably watch again next week to see if it improves, but hope they aren't going to be jumping around like that every episode.

The other new show I watched this week was The Defenders, with Jim Belushi. It was okay, but not stellar. Again, I'm willing to give it at least one more week.

Those are the only two new shows I'm checking out this season, which is more than enough considering all my faves that made it back another season.

2024--The End of the Year of Firsts

Well, we made it through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. We had an ok Thanksgiving at my Granny's house with the extended family on my dad's side and then my sisters and I cooked up a big Thanksgiving meal at my parents' house the day after. Sis1 and Emmy came and stayed most of the weekend. While we were up there, we also decorated the house for Christmas because we knew we wanted to have Christmas morning there, as well.  Sis1 and Emmy came the day before Christmas Eve and we went to breakfast Christmas Eve morning to carry on the tradition Daddy and I had had for the past 13 years or so. It was a tradition Daddy used to have with my Paw-Paw Joe until Paw-Paw died and then Daddy picked up the tradition with me so we had to carry it on. I missed having him there, though. He, like me, LOVED breakfast food. He always got the hungry man platter with pancakes and bacon and eggs. His eyes would light up like a kid's when they'd set that giant pancake down in ...

Rambling thoughts on healing and where I'm at

 It's been a wild ride these past several months/years. I still don't feel entirely like myself but I think I'm finally starting to heal. To be entirely honest, I finally gave in and let my doctor prescribe a mild anti-depressant, primarily for the anxiety I've been battling. I had become so irritable and anxious and irrationally angry I wasn't really able to be around people without getting really bitchy or feeling like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I'm still struggling some with irrational irritability but it's not at as often or as extreme as it had become. I'm finally coming to a point where I can think about my parents and Libby without having a complete breakdown. I can look at pictures and feel more joy than sadness. I can go whole days without replaying the last three weeks of Daddy's life. I do still wake up in the wee hours of the morning sometimes with the last two weeks rolling over in my mind with all the heavy what-if's and that...

Life is Emotionally Abusive

 I wish I could say that I'm back and feeling great, but I'd be lying. This grief might be what finally takes me out. I just can't shake the sadness. Everything makes me want to cry. My prayers feel like useless words spoken into an empty sky. I feel useless and unloved. I'm lonely in a way even I don't understand. It isn't as though I just want to be around people. I have sisters and friends willing to fill space but it's not that kind of lonely. It's like an ache in a place I can't quite reach.  I miss my parents. I miss Libby. I miss my pre-2020 life. I long to go back to a time when I just had regular depression and not this truly hopeless, infinitely sad, yet also numb zombie-walk through life that I feel stuck in now. I want someone to hug me. Like a big, no holds barred bear hug like Daddy used to give me. I miss affection and someone who cared about how I felt. I miss spending time with people who just wanted to be with me and not because the...
