Life with Boys, Tagged CW

Ok, I admit it… Ian Somherhalder is a good looking guy. I started watching The Vampire Diaries because I read the books when I was younger (by L.J. Smith… they came along WAY before the silliness that is Twilight), and I loved them. I also admit to rooting for Damon (the ‘bad’ brother) from day one. But I get a total kick out of Damon’s ‘crazy’ face. You know Damon is mad when his eyes open really wide, and he cocks his head to the side… I also notice that the ‘bad boys’ on other shows have adopted this method.. .I call it the “Damon Salvatore method acting.”

Really, Supernatural? Really? And some other stuff.

If you watch the show, Supernatural, and you watched Friday’s episode, you know what I’m talking about. Bobby! ‘Nuff said.

I am trying to run 3 or 4 days a week. I’m trying to push myself to get ready for the Mud Run in May that I want to do.

BUT, I do not want to push myself with an 80 pound dog coming at me barking and growling. That’s all he did, but it still scared the snot out of me… People… leash laws?! Maybe, heard of them? Or at least walk with your dog! Cause if your dog bites me or one of my kids, it’s gonna open up a whole can of ugly… not cool.

And just to be clear… I LOVE dogs. My little dog, Shinobi, is like one of my little guys.

A New Crop Of Shows

I am pretty forgiving when it comes to TV Shows… hell, I am still a fan of Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. And each September, I set my DVR to see what is worth watching. Here are my three ‘keepers.’

1) Once Upon a Time - LOVE this show! There’s an innocence to it that I am really enjoying. NOT a naivete, an innocence, a sweetness. Really like Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White, and the little boy at the heart of this show… so cute! I like all the sly little references to fairy tales (a little girl gives her teacher, who is really Snow White, a pear instead of an apple), and I can’t wait to see which characters pop up next.

2) Up All Night - Who doesn’t like Christina Applegate? And how great is it to see Will Arnett NOT playing a bumbling moron? (Although he is silly in the show.) I like that no matter how hard these two new parents try to still ‘be cool,’ parenthood always wins out in the end.

3) Hart of Dixie - Whaaattt? You’re probably asking yourself. Ok, I admit it… I like this show, mainly because it reminds me of Gilmore Girls in some way. And Rachel Bilson’s clothes… SWEET!

Those are my top three… yours?

This isn’t so ‘wayback,’ but Miami Vice used music to the fullest. It picked songs and artists that would further the storyline, and I think Supernatural does the same thing. This opening with “Carry On My Wayward Son” by Kansas was spot on and one of the best openings a TV show had in a long time.
