Doctor Who - David Tennant

Ok, so I have to say that after hearing some of my friends talk about the Brits long running show Doctor Who, I decided to give it a try. I found out that there are many doctors and now had to ask for some input on who is the best Doctor. Seems that the majority felt David Tennant was the the number one guy.

I got the 3rd series with Martha as his side-kick. At first, the poor special effects kind of made me giggle as I watch a blue phone booth spaceship...oh, I'm sorry...The TARDIS, spin as it travels through time. Then as I watch the poor costumes and alien robots I am reminded of how Star Trek was done...the original, and I get a warm fuzzy feeling of familiarity. I have to admit...I'm hooked!!

David Tennant is a joy to watch. He brings such fun to this character as he is not stiff like Kirk kind of was. Tennant gets angry, intense, and quirky-fun loving all in the same episode. I think I am in love!

So I have watched the 10th doctor in series 3 & 4, and now am on number 2. I will be watching the 9th Doctor (Eccleson)next. I know...why am I going backwards? Well, that's just the way I roll, I guess.

So now I want to see Tennant in Decoy Bride, a new movie he has out. Here is a trailer for it...he looks to be adorable!!


Another item I would love to get my hands on is "Much ado about nothing" with his Who co-star, Tate.


Now...if i could just get David Tennant and Chris Gorham in the same pic or even better...a film together...this would make me very happy!
ok, enough gibberish. If you read this... let me know by leaving me a comment. I often wonder if anyone is reading this rubbish.

psychic reading

Just some notes of what was said at my reading for me to check and see if they come true:
Money laundering is going to be revealed at work after somebody leaves.

Both kids will marry but Sam will marry twice.

Ben - very successfull , lots of money

Jay will have hospital visit.

John and I will go on short overnight trip.

Job is ok for me. John will be with new employer within 2 yrs and better job.

somebody is pregnant....hmmmm UPDATE: MY BROTHER &SIS-IN-LAW ANNC THEY ARE EXPECTING 10/18/11

My thoughts on TV Shows and Who is My Favorite - USA Network tops the list.

This post mostly deals with my favorite TV shows; so be warned!

First up is Covert Affairs;
How much do I love this show? Well if you know anything about me, you would know that anything Chris Gorham does...I am there to watch! I have often said that if he would let me...I would pull up a lawn chair and watch him cut the grass. That is... if he does it himself. You know he is a big star now and probably hires someone.
Any who...back to Covert Affairs. Love the show and I have to say; season 2 rocked! So much better than season 1!. I know there are a lot of shippers for the Annie/Auggie thing to happen, but please...not for a while, OK? We don't want to go there too quickly...we like sexual tension. And for golly sakes...don't pull a Bones disaster and bring another chick into the picture once you know A/A like each other.
In the final episode I will have to say the fav moment for me was the A/A hug in the hospital. Can we all say AWWWW?
Perabo's acting was spot on as she told her sister she was a spy and showed her the credentials. Hands shaking, voice trembling...good stuff.
What will happen to Jai? Who did he call? Good guy or bad? What the hell ever happened to the Liza Hearn story and old man Wilcox? That was in the first season and we saw nothing about it! I hope Jai tells Arthur about the old man and gets to stay instead of leave for AZ. I didn't like Joan in season 1...but i love her in season 2. I hope the fun with her character continues in season 2.5.

Bones;
Bones comes back this fall with Bones pregnant by Booth. Holy crap...we waited 6 years for these two to get together and now she is preggers! I also can't wait to see how the Hodgins baby is and meet the new quint-tern.

Neccessary Roughness:
My favorite NEW show. Love this character!!! Strong independant woman with a snarky attitude...gotta love it!! But I hate the TK character...kick his ass off the team already!

Rules of Engagement;
I don't think this show gets the attention it deserves! The cast is fabulous. My favorite is Patrick Warburton. The man is genius at comedy and hope he gets the attention he deserves. His facial expressions are wonderfully funny.

As summer comes to a close....

Well....it's that time again. Summer is closing and our local fair (Canfield Fair) is just around the corner. Soon autumn will be upon us and I do dred the winter months ahead.

Kid #1 enters the second year of college and I am actually happy to hear him talk about going to school to be a golf pro. I know he could do it and would love for him to pursue it (along with a business degree. Kid #2 will be a senior and I hope she enjoys her final year of high school. I hope she is either Prom or Homecoming Queen, I have confidence that she will be voted for one of them. Senior pics will be taken soon and can't wait to see how they come out. My daughter is beautiful...so what can I say...

I am still writing my recaps and reviews and would like to thank all of those who comment, I really appreciate it.I will post a separate entry on my TV shows.

My trip to New York was fun. I went with my daughter and an old friend. I was in awe at how huge everything is. It was so friggin hot though and that made for a lousy walking experience. Going into Tiffany's was fun and bought a trinket for my daughter for her birthday. And by trinket...I mean just that..a small trinket! :-)

Ok, so that is my update for summer.

GO TRIBE!

I am proud to be an Indians fan again!As you recall, back in 2007 my fun adventures of watching us go all the way to the play offs! I will never forget the famous "bug game" as we played the icky Yanks and the bugs came out in full force driving the Yankee pitcher mad! That how we roll here in Ohio! Well it looks as though we just might have that same good season this year. So far we have the best record in the MLB!! Not just the American League, but of the whole MLB!! Go Tribe! Just don't blow it, ok? The fans need this. We need to make it all the way to the Series this time.
I also would like to remind you of my lottery win of buying tickets to the playoff games, here is link of blog entry.It was a total blast and exciting moment for this fan.
So once again, I just want to say, keep up the good work Cleveland, lets take it all the way this year!!

Oh the Horrors of Prom Dress Shopping

So I am now at the point in my life that my daughter is old enough to go to prom. She is now a Junior and of course she got asked to go and of course she HAS to go. Now, for my dilemma: She is a very picky dresser and she thinks money is no option. Even though she has already gone to 3 Homecomings and 3 casual dances... this has to be a long dress and must have bling on it. I have tried with all I can muster to tell her that sometimes simplicity is what makes it more elegant. You also must understand that she looks good even in a burlap sack if she wore it. Yes, I wish I had a body like that even when I was her age.
Back to dresses; Please explain to me why these dress makers have to make the dresses look like hooker dresses? These are for 17 & 18 yr olds not 25 yr olds. Low plunging necklines, low scooped backs and sides cut out...Jeez! Trust me, I am not an old fogey of a mom and I think I am pretty hip on the styles, but there is no way I am spending more money on a dress like these than I did on my wedding dress!
So needless to say, we are coming to crunch time where she will have to make a decision or not go...i trust she will make a decision. I tried to tell her to get a short dress and start a trend, but she looks at me like I'm crazy. Hell, she is popular and class president...if she does something out of the ordinary , they will think it's cool. Oh well...that's my rant of the day.

It's been a while...

Ok, I need to try and keep this blog a little more up to date, so let's talk...
Right now this whole Charlie Sheen thing is making me crazy. This man is so out of control it is sick. My son was actually smirking at his life and said he is like the Charlie on the show. I had to explain how this is not right. These teens see nothing wrong with this lifestyle and actually wish they had it. Please son, don't get hooked on the drugs and sex addiction. This Charlie has the balls to cry about how CBS is taking his job, and how is he supposed to support his family. SAVE SOME OF YOUR FRIGGIN MONEY, YOU IDIOT!!!He makes 2 mil an ep and admits to not saving any of it. Are you kidding me!Lets see....20 eps a season, 10 seasons = 400 mill!!! We have an unemployment problem in this country, and you want us to feel sorry for your ass as you "blow" it up the nose and on whores? Really? Then Sheen joins Twitter along with one of his house bitches...the one that is a porn queen. Her tweets are as whore-like as you can get.Gross!
Now, as for our worldly news: Yay to Egypt for standing up and taking matters into your hands and overthrowing the government.
Yay, to Public employees for supporting each other and taking a stand to fight back to the idiots who want to take away bargaining rights from the unions.
New Zealand, I pray that things get back to normal as soon as possible for you after the deadly earthquake.
I guess I will stop here and continue on another day...thanks for listening.

Gorham / Grunberg Have Fun On Set of Love Bites

love these pics of Chris Gorham and Greg Grunberg having fun on the set of Love Bites. They are in one of those old fashioned fun photo booths we remember as kids at the mall. Hmmm...we have to wonder if there is a bit of a bromance going on with these two...lol.But I love it!!! The woman is Izabella Miko who was shooting Love Bites with them.I just love when the celebs decide to post those off camera, fun pictures....I soooo picked the wrong profession!I had always felt I would be good at acting and why I didn't persue it when I was younger...I have no idea! IF ONLY...

My dream of meeting Chris Gorham comes true at Answer This Premiere

Well, I just thought that I would share what I did on Fri Oct 8, 2010. I met the man of my dreams in an old theater. Yes, I met Chris Gorham at the premiere of his movie "Answer This". It was a wonderful flick and had lots of humor. But that is not what I really want to share. It was all about meeting Chris in the flesh. I have been such a fan of his for so long that I can't believe that the day finally arrived and I as able to touch him. Well, actually I did more than that, I think I might have freaked him a bit. When I saw him with the rest of my Twitter groupies, I introduced myself to him and gave him a big squeeze with both arms around his waist. He let out a nice big laugh and put his arms around me so I could take a picture. He was so sweet.
At the after-party he took the time to talk just a bit more with us and then gave each of a hug goodbye. Anel, his wife is just as endearing...I just love her. She is funny and sweet and I see why Chris loves her so much!
The next day, my hubby and I went to walk around the town a bit before we headed home. Just as we came out of an old record store, we headed down a alley arcade. I just took a picture of the empty arcade and started to walk when a small boy went past me. As I looked at him I could swear that he looked familiar like as in Chris's son. I turned to see the entire Gorham clan right behind me. Anel recognized me right a way and said hello, which Chris did too. I was like "holy crap, I cant believe this". I didn't want to bother them anymore than what we had already did so I just asked how the night went. He recommended Comet coffee, which I said I would check out after I stopped at the one store I was heading to. They seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere...which later I find out they went to the football game. I can't believe we met again by chance...how cool.The kids are adorable, of course...look at the parents!
I think I also made a fan out of my husband who always thought I was crazy with my schoolgirl crush. But he saw how nice Chris was and was impressed.

skydiving in 2010

So yesterday, Fri. July 30,2010 my son Ben and I went and jumped our asses out a plane...that's right...we took the plunge and went skydiving! It was the most awesome thing in the world. The scary thing is that I was not the least bit nervous during the whole process. Even as I put my first foot out of the plane and had my ass hanging off the edge of the doorway at 10,000 ft, that's right , 10,000 ft.. I was ready. Now how many times did this guy tell me to arch as soon as I roll out...and what so I do? I practically tuck (the opposite)but my wits finally kicked in and went into a arch back and soon we were in a free fall and no longer tumbling. It was awesome!The wind is just in your face and loud as the air is rushing by you. As soon as we pulled the rip cord...it was instant jerk (not too bad) and it got very quiet...eerily quiet..and we took in the sights from up above. A hot air balloon was taking off and we got to see that from a different angle. We did a spiral turn and practiced our landing in the air and then just enjoyed the ride down. A video guy taped the whole thing and was about 6 feet in front of me during the free fall.We landed smoothly on our asses and was so pumped! If you ever get the courage to do it..do it. It is not as bad as you may think. Experience life and do what you want ...before it is too late!

After I come home my day was even more complete when I hear that a friend from Twitter (@debskittles) got to meet Chris Gorham at the Craig Ferguson show. How awesome for her to represent us fans for us. He was so awesome to pick her out of the crowd and take a picture with her and her friends...see? this is why I like him!

Chris Gorham & Piper Perabo Interview- a bit more personal

Finally, I was able to post my interview with hunky Chris Gorham and beautiful Piper Perabo. I didn't know much about Piper untill this show came to town. I have to admit...I am liking her more and more. When I see her do these little video's and interviews, she comes accross very likable and like someone I could be friends with. As for Gorham...well you know how I feel about him and would love to be personal friends with him, but our worlds just won't collide.
So here is the interview that I wrote for TheTwoCents.com. I hope you like it.


I know what you’re thinking…didn’t you just do an interview with Chris and Piper? Well, yes…but a gal just can’t get too much of Gorham y’know and if you think I am going to pass up an opportunity to talk to him and Piper you are SO wrong! I know some fans out there that are depending on me to ask the tough questions and all, and I feel an obligation to do it, it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it and it might as well be me.

I thought about going “Barbara Walters” on them…but I didn’t want to have to make them cry. I would much rather hear them laugh.

So, like I said, we have been reading all kinds of articles about the show Covert Affairs and I know everyone is pumped about seeing it, especially me! But I thought I would take a different approach and ask some questions that the fans would like to know about our actors. Sometimes it is just nice to get to know them a little better as people and not about their characters.

I only asked one question that pertained to the show and it seemed as though tons of people asked the same question because Chris finished it for me, lol. I asked “Since there has been so much comparison of this show to Alias, are they considering having Jennifer Garner be a guest?” They laughed and said yes they have talked about it , but no real answer was given to whether she will do it. But what really threw them for a curve is my suggestion to have Matt Damon as a guest (since he IS Jason Bourne), how cool would that be? They liked that suggestion and even asked me if I wanted a job…have your people call my people..oh, wait, I need to find some people first! Just a quick scene where he hands Annie an envelope with information and skitters off would be cool!

Here are my few questions I was able to ask in my quick 5 minutes before I was interrupted by the moderator that my time was up…how dare he, right? So I never did ask Chris the number one question of his female fans..if he is a boxers or briefs man…so Chris, maybe you can answer that on Twitter for us?

Me: What actor or actress would you like to work with that you never worked with yet? It could be on this show or in future project.
Chris Gorham: Dustin Hoffman
Piper Perabo: Adam Brody

Me: Do you have a favorite show you like to watch and try not to miss each week?
CG: Friday Night Lights, Modern Family, Curb Your Enthusiasm and also Damages.
PP: Damages

Me: What was your first real job?
CG: Working in a movie theater (wanted in the business, from the ground level..lol)
PP: Worked at the Information Booth in a mall. (then proceeded to tell Chris that there really are people that came to her explaining they lost their child)

Me: Favorite Musical group?

CG: Right now I am listening to Florence and the Machine, Kings of Leon, and Mingus-because of Auggie.
PP: Naysayer and The Big Pink

Me: Of the roles you have played, what is your favorite?
CG: I like Auggie, he is an injured Vet and has a high level in the CIA with a disability.”Auggie is where it’s at!”
PP: I have to go with Annie, because she knows 9 languages and gets a lot of action, which I enjoy.

OK, so this is when I had to say goodbye, I hope you enjoyed the interview and let me know in the comments. I get paid by the comment…no, not really. Thanks again to Chris and Piper for letting me call and talk to them…again.
Remember to set your TV’s to USA Tuesday’s at 10:00 after White Collar, starting July 13!
