Storm Watch – unrealistic movie

by

Last night we watched a movie about a hurricane hitting New York City. Well I say we watched, but I wasn’t feeling all that well so I had a nap in the middle of the movie! I saw the beginning and the end and unless something really remarkable happened in the middle I wasn’t all that impressed with the movie. I think it was called Storm Watch.

First, I can’t imagine NYC getting hit with such a forceful hurricane in the first place – not a direct hit anyway. I mean, even Toronto was hit back in the 50’s by a hurricane but it was the remnants of a very powerful one and it did a lot of damage. So yeah, tail end or side effects of a powerful hurricane but not a direct hit.

Watching the movies end and seeing all the damage and injured people made me think that all of the New York personal injury lawyers were about to get a lot of new business!

Did anyone see that movie? If you did, what did you think of it? Obviously I wasn’t the least bit impressed so I’m giving it a thumbs down.





In the old days before our PVR

by

I was just thinking about something I used to do when people would call while I was watching a television show that I didn’t want to miss. I used to switch the TV over to closed captioning. Sure it distracted me a little bit from my telephone conversation, but I could still keep up to some degree with what was going on in the show.

Now of course we have a PVR. That’s like a TIVO for those of you who don’t know what a PVR is. We almost always record our favorite shows on the PVR because we don’t always watch the shows when they are on TV. We watch them hours later. One bonus to this is we can skim through all the commercials.

The PVR also lets us pause or even rewind a live program. I love this! If the phone rings while I’m watching something interesting or if I need to use the washroom or go cook dinner I can either just pause the program or let it run and rewind it back to where I’d left off when I’m ready to watch the show again.

I love it!

Who else has a PVR?

History Bites

by

Have you ever seen the show History Bites? It’s on the Comedy Channel. It might only be shown in Canada since it’s a Canadian production, but if you find history interesting and if you like comedy this show is an interesting mix of both.

Comedians act out some of the great events in history, acting like real people historically famous and otherwise as they show us how the events happen … however they throw in modern touches like TV commentators such as Larry King, a Martha Stewart like section that fits the period and sometimes the historic figures resemble current famous people like Ozzy Osbourne and others.

It’s not the best show in the world, but it’s also not the worst. Check it out sometime if you get a chance.

America’s Got Talent

by

I’m sitting here watching some taped episodes of America’s Got Talent. You know, I do like this show.

I’m not a fan of American Idol, or Canadian Idol – yeah, being Canadian it’s pretty much a year round thing here, as one version of the show ends the other starts up. If you’re a fan I’m sure it’s great, if your not it’s one more channel to skip!

However, I like the fact that America’s Got Talent is a mix of humor, comedians, interesting entertainment acts, animals, dancing and singing … and of course the audition shows are hilarious!

Anyone else watching?

Couch Potato

by

I spent the day yesterday on the couch. I never did get dressed. Nope. I stayed in my comfy PJ’s and just vegged out.

I’ve had an awful week. I have Crohns and it’s been acting up terribly. I’ve had little sleep in the past two weeks because of it. In fact, yesterday I’d stayed up all night because of the pain, and just as I was going to go to bed to try to get some sleep the pain suddenly got a lot worse. Knowing I couldn’t sleep until pure exhaustion took over I just stayed on the couch watching TV until I finally drifted off.

I didn’t really wake up until 6 p.m. yesterday. I still felt wiped out too.

I hate having days and weeks like this. It’s terrible.
