We didn’t watch it last night, but we did tape it.

I just saw the show and man wasn’t that stupid? I can’t believe the last guy is gone and only because he was dumb enough to believe the girls and gave away his individual immunity. I knew as each and every one of the remaining women picked up their pens that they were writing Erik’s name down.

I don’t know if he’s really the dumbest survivor ever, but after seeing the women back stab and trick several of the other guys he should have known better.

I’m hoping that either Amanda or Cirie wins on Sunday. Natalie and Parvati are just too evil to win. Even if either of them are in the last three I think they’ll have too many enemies on the jury to win.

I’d only started getting into that show towards the end of last season, but I enjoyed each and every show and kept up with it this season.

Did you know that during the writers strike ABC has 12 or so shows on hold that they could have been airing instead of running reruns of their other shows? Perhaps if they’d done that and hadn’t moved the show around so much Men in Tree’s would have had a bigger following now and wouldn’t have been canceled.

I have a feeling that in the next week or two we’ll start to hear about a few other shows being canceled. Ones that don’t make sense canceling because they didn’t have a chance to gain an audience.

Did you enjoy Men in Trees? Were you a fan?

If you were a fan you’ll be happy to know that when they were filming the last episodes for this season they did film scenes that would give the show closure if it were to be canceled so those scenes will be tagged onto the finale. The rest of the Men in Tree’s episodes will start up again on May 28th.

Her telephone operator voice was high and nasally. Very irritating yet humorous.

Well I just got a call from a company that wanted to know if we needed new doors or window replacements and the person who called had a voice just like the operator. I don’t know if she was faking it or if that was her real voice. Poor thing if that’s the way she really talks!

That reminds me of another funny voice Chris and I heard recently … A couple of months ago Chris and I went through a McDonald’s drivethru after taking our puppy to her training class. The person who took our order decided it would be funny to pretend to be a dumb chick with a high pitched voice. Turns out it was a guy when we got to the pickup window.

I know it’s probably not as funny hearing about these funny voices that we’ve been subject to lately as hearing them in real life, but it was funny. How do you not crack up when some telemarketer calls you and they sound like a humorous TV character?

Have you heard any funny voices lately? Telemarketers or perhaps someone serving you in a store or restaurant?

Actually taping the shows on the DVR is a great idea now that we have a puppy. For some reason during the evening she always wants to go out about every half hour or else she’s jumping around playing with her toys, dropping her toy bones on the hardwood floor and just plain making a lot of noise. It makes watching TV a bit of a drag, especially when it’s a favorite show as it can take a long time to watch with all those distractions! If we didn’t tape the shows we’d only ever get to see half of each program.

I’m watching Lost right now. The scene with Hurley in the hospital …. so do you think the Oceanic 6 really are dead or what?

What are your favorite Thursday night shows?

Last night there were so many good shows on we taped all our favs and we’re still watching them this evening because there just wasn’t time to watch them all in one night.

I’m watching Gray’s Anatomy right now and later we’ll watch Survivor. I had to watch Ugly Betty last night. I really missed that show.

Do you have a favorite show that just came back?

I think I’m just going to lie down and watch some of the returning television shows tonight like ER, 30 Rock and others. Hopefully my head will stop pounding soon.

Speaking of TV. Did you watch Survivor? The fake idol came out in the end and it was hilarious!

I was almost done the post, but then I noticed the time. Chris and I each had an appointment with our family doctor. So I saved the post and shut down the laptop. Unfortunately when I logged back into WP I couldn’t find the post. Grrrr.

I haven’t lost a post for a long time. I wonder what the heck happened. Certainly I was writing it for long enough that Wordpress should have backed it up automatically.

Oh well. The moment is gone, and I’m sure it wasn’t the most interesting post.

I do have a couple of Travelocity deals for any of you that might be planning a trip in the future though!

Oh BTW I did find that other post. I’d meant to write it on this blog, but I guess I accidentally started it on one of my other blogs! Oops! I guess I’m still recovering from the flu. Yeah … that’s it … blame it on the flu.

Well I guess my body must have needed the rest. I do feel a bit better.

I guess there’s worse things that I could have been doing with the flu rather than lying in bed. I could have spent that time in the bathroom getting to know the bathroom fixtures intimately! LOL

I think I’ll just relax and watch TV for a while now. My husband was channel surfing and he’s just come across a BBC taping of the Rolling Stones in Concert in 1968 on PBS. I love the Stones. I’m happy to watch that for a while.

Of course we also watched Survivor and Lost too.

I had taped the show and we watched it late in the evening. Our puppy was getting tired and she curled up with her head resting on my leg and watched most of the show. We catch her watching TV quite often - especially if theres animals in the show! (she also likes cartoons and hockey.)

Every once in a while Midnight would walk up to the TV for a closer look and then she’d wander around the room, pace by the door … it was as if she was looking for all the dogs she saw on the screen. I wish we’d thought of pulling out the video camera because it was kind of funny.

Does your dog or cat watch TV? What kind of shows attract your pets attention?

First of all it’s just nice to have a new show to watch again amid all the reruns that are airing! Even if I didn’t like Lost all that much I’d probably watch it since I’m sick to death of seeing reruns of shows that aired just a month or two ago! At least if the networks are going to show reruns during the writers strike go back to really old reruns that we might not remember quite as well. Please?

I really enjoyed seeing all of my favorite Lost characters again. I gotta tell you when Harley yelled out “I’m one of the Oceanic Six” as he was being arrested in “future Lost” it made me spend the rest of the show trying to figure out just which 6 ended up getting off the island. I think we’re supposed to assume that the rest of them died, but for some reason I think that maybe some of the crash survivors choose to stay on the island. Maybe that’s why Jack wants to go back?

I can’t wait for next weeks episode.

BTW it would have been a much better watching experience if my puppy wasn’t chewing on her humongous beef bone for the whole show!

Geez! She kept dragging her bone off her dog bed and onto the hardwood floor so that she could gnaw on it and when she does that on the floor it sounds like she’s gnawing on the wood!
