This and That

Yes, yes...I have become quite lazy with this blog. Nothing creative here, just THIS and THAT! The entertainment should pick up after the polo championships (that's when I start working).

Prison Break will be ending this season: it was making me antsy that convicted felons (innocent or not) could just run about like that!

Trust Me is the perfect example of a co-star mucking up a show. You cannot 'trust' everyone with character development.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers made history believable on The Tudors. As a child reading about Henry VIII, one could not imagine what sort of fellow could keep women after he ‘eliminated’ the first one. I think even I would try my luck at Ol’ Henry if he looked like Jonathan! Alas, he is now running out of nuptial victims; this is the final season.

After years of deep-chested sighs and wayward thoughts about VDO, as well as his character Detective Goren on Law & Order: CRIMINAL INTENT (sometimes simultaneously), the addition of Jeff Goldblum is a bit too much for my respiration difficulties! If they are on the screen at the same time I...will...squeak like a preteen at a Jonas Brothers concert (I'm totally out of touch) and grab my inhaler. WOW!

NYC Prep premieres in June on The Bravo Channel: it is no Gossip Girl! One, it is not drama but reality-drama; two, it involves REAL teenagers whom they claim are “firmly entrenched in New York Society”(some of them now behave like they have learning disabilities and speak like they have picked up English slang as a first language, THEN learned English based on the grammatical ‘rules’ of that mess!). Surely it is not haute société: one could not IMAGINE off-spring of the caliber of a Tinsley Mortimer, Maria Luisa Leviant, Lily Maddock or Alexandra Osipow parading around shamelessly in front of the world. Have these people learned nothing from the MTV show “Rich Girls” (2003)?! I do not believe Ali ever recovered (in a whisper: you should SEE whom she's dating down here!). One thinks this will be a case of life imitating art, since Gossip Girl is so popular kids are actually trying to behave like Blair, Serena, et al.

Speaking of strangies in New York...The Real Housewives of New York, for some odd reason, has captured at least five hours of my attention this year. "...Orange County", nor "...Atlanta" could get me to even surf through Bravo while they were on. I fear an addiction is coming on- not on the level of a "Fringe" addiction- this is COMPLETELY unexplainable! Maybe I DO miss The City...just a little. If I do, I'll go visiting before August (when it is unbearably hot).

Just One More Thing

Ahh yes! My favorite TV series Fringe will be moving production to Canada. Knowing that positive noetic energies will have to travel even farther to my cerebral crush, J.J. Abrams makes one pout a little. I'm sure many people will be tres happy with this move to Johnny Canuck-land...including one of the co-stars; afterall, he grew up there. CTV should send a thank-you card to the New York City Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting for their inflated filming fees list...the word is that was a determining factor. I wonder if I 'channel' my creative energies to one of the members of ION (Institute of Noetic Sciences) in Petaluma, CA, would they be able to 'forward' that to J.J. in Vancouver?



These weird ramblings are why one should never eat a bowl of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream for breakfast, after eating only spicy guacamole on toasted half-pitas and nasi goreng (fried rice with diced chili peppers, asam and egg; I add salmon instead of prawns or shrimp) for a week. Don't ask!
