Random Thoughts, Volume III

Oh Brett...This was your game to win. Yours to win!!! It seemed like the Gods were for you after NY missed not one, but two field goal attempts to win the game. You won the coin toss and received. Why, oh why did you throw the interception? I was so rootin' for you:( Are you coming back next year? I think you have to...The period at the end of your sentence can not be "threw the interception that cost Green Bay the game". It just can't be...Come back Brett. One more season...We got the dumbest phone call at 5:30 this morning. If you are calling someone at 5:30 in the morning, you better know you have the right number! This guy was looking for someone with Husband's name, which is a common name. There are probably about 50 in the metropolitan area. The dude actually had the nerve to ask Husband if he would get out the phone book for him and find the person he was looking for! Wrong number pal...move along. Then...He called us back at 7:30 am and asked if Husband would get out the phone book again! Like he is just going to start reading down the list! Get a grip pal!I have tried to be positive about the writers strike. I have. But, gosh darn it, I'm over it! I want my TV, and I want it now! I was just beginning to like Women's Murder Club...where is it? I watch Desperate Housewives...can I get an episode? If I can't have any more new CSI Miami, I'm callin' Horatio! Grey's Anatomy...you are a crappy show, but you are my crappy show, and I would like some new episodes please! Here my dear writers is the clincher...If your strike screws up my new season of LOST, which I have waited so patiently for, I will be buying a ticket to LA...and it won't be pretty. I was promised 16 new uninterrupted episodes of LOST if I could just wait until Feb. I have waited. You owe me 16 episodes...Don't think I won't find you and make you tell me how the season will end...My advice to you is...get to work, you don't want me gettin' on a plane! After having seen Cinderella about 9 million times this weekend...One can't help but wonder...How did this old battle axe snow Cinderella's Dad into marrying her? Seriously Cinderella's Dad...What were you thinkin'? This woman is evil and truly scary, the kind of woman who gives ya' nightmares. Was there no one else in the village to marry, no one?!?

  1. Right there with you girl! Now I don't know who to cheer for in the big game, the punk ass little brother or the pretty boy? Maybe I'll just skip it this year, can't even look forward to the halftime show, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, REALLY?
    And I will so go with you to LA to track down whoever owes us our full season of LOST!

  2. I love the phone call...and then the nerve to call back and ask the same thing, maybe you should send him out on a plane to settle the strike.

  4. haha! I realize phone calls at 5:30 in the a.m. are not funny. However, it cracks me up that some random guy called back to see if you would break out the phone book. haha!

  5. Psycho phone dude! How bizarre.

    As for the strike, it's like when baseball went on strike a decade or so ago and NHL a few years back... Those strikes went on for so long that the players lost the sympathy of fans... not to mention lost some fans outright.

    I'm just about all out of sympathy.

    LOOOOOOOOST!!!! MUST. HAVE. LOST!!!

  6. Maybe y'all should be lobbying the production companies to pay the writers more, so they will go back to work?? Just a random thought from someone on the opposite side of the globe.

    Our TV shows are all a season behind the US, so won't really hurt us until later this year!

  7. I am fed up. Fed up with the damn writers and networks. Don't they care about US? I need me some Lost. Been waiting for about 10 years to find out what the heck is happening and now THIS!? Aaarg!

  8. I have often wondered the same thing about Cindy's dad

  9. The only thing I know about Brett is that he has a nice tooshie and I've never ever seen a single episode of LOST... but I am soooo with you on the evil step-mother bit. :)

    ReplyDelete
  10. I am soooo with you on Lost. Pay the %$^& writers and move on. I can only watch so much reality TV before I want to scratch my eyeballs out.

  11. I'm too verklempt to even think about Brett.

    *le sigh*

  12. I just can't believe he called you BACK! lol...

  13. I love this post!!! I hear you about the writer's strike. I want my crappy TV back! I was forced to use my DVR to record some learning program on the History Channel! What?! I don't want to learn stuff . . .

    Oh, and good point about Cindy's dad. . . was he blind? Maybe she just let herself go.

  14. The writer's strike has had the opposite effect on me...they overestimated their importance to society in my opinion...and I could care less if they come back soon or not...

    More sports, reality tv, and game shows for me :)

  15. oh man...the nerve of that guy calling so early....WOW! Maybe he was in a different time zone.

    Have a good day.

  16. Ugh. Writers strike. It's killing me and I very rarely even watch TV. I just Tivo a couple of shows then watch them in the morning when I get dressed. I should have weeks of catching up to do. Instead, I only have a couple of shows waiting for me. This does not amuse me.

    The dude that kept calling back? Really needs to learn how to call directory service. I know, what a concept, a number that you can call where people will essentially read the phone book to you. Crazy!

  17. Hi NW!

    Have a great day!! Sorry the Packers lost!

    Brett - So cute. I SO want to see him running around in a football uniform next season.

    Random caller - Um, phone book, what's that? Get yourself some internet, man.

    Writers Strike - Netflix would like to thank you for all the extra business they have been getting. Now get off your butts or no one is going to want to watch TV anymore.

    RE: Evil stepmother. I know!!

  19. I am so with you on this writers strike thing...man, if they screw up LOST I too will be flying to LA with you and we will be kicking some serious stikers butts! Seriously, don't mess with my LOST....DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES has been hard enough....Just get over it already! Yowza!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh dear! That caller is really a dork, huh. Wonder where he comes from. Maybe a wolf den? Hmmm Hang in there with the strike. It's just a sign to read a book instead hahah (pun intended)!

    p.s. Now, come by my place when you have a chance. I have bling. :)

  21. I almost skipped over your entire first paragraph because the pic itself is just too painful to look at. I just can't.
    I haven't even turned on the tv yet because I don't want to hear anyone talking about the game. Waaaaahhh!!!!
    I am so over the writer's strike too. OVER IT!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Okay you see, Brett will be back...because he is never going to leave, oh he taunts with his rumored retirement but it never happens. I was so mad when he threw that interception I screamed.
    Sounds like my father-in-law called your house, he would do that.
    I am with you on the writer's strike, I understand where they are coming from but this is getting old and drawn out....if yu call Horatio can I join you?

  23. Women's murder club is based on some novels written by James Patterson, or so my 16 year old tells me. Read books.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh, the stepmother is a troll. I can't stand her. I hope you day gets better.

    And, Brett....Oh, Brett....

    ReplyDelete
  25. And they called back?! Do they not have a phone book? Where did they get your number in the first place?

    I think bloggers should pick up the writers' slack. Things would liven up in a hurry.

  26. you are too freaking funny.
    Um, it's Disney.. so we can't go there.
    Poor Favre. So sad.

  27. Oh yeah ... I'm going through Gray's and DH withdrawal! Give 'em whatever they want, just BRING BACK THE WRITERS!!! (I'm kidding, I have no idea what they're asking for.)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm hopping the plane with you! I have no problem with writers getting the money they deserve but not at my expense, dammit!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think all the Cinderella watching is getting to you just a bit... let's turn the tv off for just a little while... : ) Just kidding. I wish this strike would be over ASAP too, I wrote a post a week or so ago about it screwing up the awards shows. I am a red carpet junkie and I won't stand for this! BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog!

  30. I will so come with you to kick some writer trash! Not for the same shows but definitely for the same reasons. I am stuck watching Law and Order reruns--which is fine because there are a lot I haven't seen, but some of them are so depressing. I need a good laugh, dang it!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I was so upset the Packers lost that game. They should have won! Now it's up to the Giants to try and beat New England....(honestly, I think Brett and his boys had a much better chance at a Superbowl victory... :( )

    Also, I wish this writer's strike would end already...it's effecting my boyfriend and work is slow for him... But I'm with you on these bloody repeats! I am itching to fly out to L.A. myself and write for these shows to avoid repeats!!! LOL. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. this writer's strike is KILLING ME! hubby downloaded a list of how many episodes were filmed and are left to be aired for each show...and some of our faves have none left, some have 1 or 2....i almost cried!

    please...bring back our TV! i can only watch Curious George so many times!!!

  33. I figured she got out her potions and cast a spell on him too. :)
