Cas Haley and my husband have similar guitar styles

by

During the summer I taped America’s Got Talent and I’m down to the last two shows. Well, I just watched the second last show this evening.

I’m so impressed by that Cas Haley. Shhhh I still don’t know if he won or not as I’ve got one more show to go ..

He plays so much like my husband Chris it’s uncanny. Chris doesn’t do as much reggae as Cas does, but the playing style is very similar. Even the guitars that Cas Haley plays are the same as my husbands!

Hmm maybe the next time there’s a Canadian music talent show or an international one (Rock Star come back!) I’ll encourage Chris to try out.





The Family Guy

by

Oh Boy … I don’t know if you get the TBS channel, but they just started showing episodes of The Family Guy each evening and I think this is now my husbands favorite channel.

He just loves The Family Guy. In fact, he’s actually a little bit like Peter! Maybe I should keep that fact to myself? LOL

Chris is kind of funny to watch when he’s watching this show. He laughs continuously. Loudly! Good thing I’ve seen most of the episodes that they’re showing ’cause I wouldn’t be able to hear them otherwise.

Ready for the new television season

by

I can’t wait for the new television season to start up again! Only a couple more weeks at the most and some of my favorite shows like Heroes and Ugly Betty will be back on the air.

We haven’t watched much television over the summer because there’s been so many reruns on. They show enough reruns during the regular season lately that I just can’t watch the shows for a third, fourth or fifth time during the summer. I’ve got better things to do.

New shows though … well I look forward to those!

We kept ourselves busy TV wise watching a few short summer season series like My Boys, John From Cincinnati, Californication, and The Riches. We really liked the Riches – I hope that show comes back.

Now I’m eagerly anticipating the return of shows such as House, Grey’s Anatomy, ER, Desperate Housewives, 24, Survivor and several others.

What shows are you eager to see again?

The Trailer Park Boys

by

Have you ever seen the show “Trailer Park Boys”? OMG it’s a show about Canadian rednecks. My husband LOVES this show.

I think it’s funny, but I’m not a huge fan.

It’s about all these men that live in a trailer park in Nova Scotia. Yes women live in the trailer park too but the show centers around about five main characters. Ricky, Julian, Bubbles, Mr. Lehey and Randy.

Randy and Lehey are sometimes lovers and almost always drunk. They are always plotting to catch Ricky, Julian and Bubbles in a criminal act, but it always ends up getting messed up. Usually because Lehey, a cop who lost his job because he was drunk, is always too boozed up to get anything done right.

Meanwhile the three guys Ricky, Bubbles and Julian really are always planning illegal activities like growing pot, stealing things from people and reselling them to people in the trailer park and so on.

In the latest episodes … Bubbles went to Maine to see a model train show and ended up stealing Patrick Swayzes model train. The guys come up with a plan to piece the track together through a small tunnel that runs under a river between the US and Canadian border. The plan is to send dope across the boarder to the US and Sebastian Bach of Skid Row made a deal with them to send cigarettes over to the boys in exchange for the drugs.

The episode that we’re watching tonight has the guys being caught by both the American and Canadian authorities. They boys were in the middle of the river trying to decide which jail to go to. They decided to go to the US jail so they turned themselves in to the US authorities.

It’s a crazy show. I have a feeling that it’s got a US cult following just like our other very silly Canadian series – The Red Green Show.

So who knows what I’m talking about? Check out the Trailer Park Boys website. I think there’s some clips of the show on the site. You’ll have an idea of how strange and funny this show is if you watch a video.

The only talent show I like

by

Did you watch America’s Got Talent? If you did don’t tell me who won because I recorded the shows on my PRV and haven’t watched the most recent episode yet.

It’s funny that I like this show. I really hate shows like American Idol and Canadian Idol (yes I get two doses of the idol shows!), Dancing with Stars and so on. Hate them with a passion, but for some reason I like America’s Got Talent.

I guess it’s because the show has so much variety. There’s magic acts, ventriloquism, acrobatics or physical acts, singers and musicians – plus many of them are funny. Humor always gets bonus points with me.

There’s a singer/ guitar player that I’ve been hoping will win. His name is Cass Haily. When he performs he reminds me of Chris when he plays. My husband is a musician and his vocal range is similar to Cass’ and he enjoys playing as much as it appears that Cass does. I hope he wins or that he’s already won.

Don’t tell me if you know!
