When I first heard about Showtime’s new show The Big C last year, I wasn’t sure what to expect.  All I knew was that it was a show about Cancer, it sounded like a Reality show that would hit way too close to home for me.  Cancer? Really? Do they have to go there? Having lost so many people I …

I am the first to admit that I have a serious television addiction.  I make myself feel better by thinking things like hey, at least I don’t smoke crack! It works pretty well. People often ask how I find the time to watch all the shows I do.  It’s pretty easy really… Firstly, I download every show I watch.  With …

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary.  Like any couple we’ve had our issues… my problems settling in the Netherlands, his Lego addiction, my late night mosquito rages… but one thing that has never changed is our love for each other.  Well, MY love for HIM I should say.   I’m not so sure about his love …

I swear, for the last year or so I’ve been a complete crybaby.   I can’t explain it and I can’t pinpoint when it began, but I’m pretty sure it’s getting worse and it’s freakin’ embarrassing! Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not unhappy.  Not unhappy at all, in fact.  I know I’ve posted a lot about depression in the past but that’s …

As you know, I’m a big Reality TV junkie.  I’ve been subjecting myself to the insanity of American Idol for years, even though I not-so-secretly hate it.   I’ve watched Project Runway, Survivor, The Amazing Race, Hell’s Kitchen and endless other reality shows as well.   I’m not sure why I like it, but I think a part of it is watching …

If you are watching this season and haven’t seen the winner yet, stop reading now!!  There will be major spoilers. It’s no secret that I’m a Reality TV junky, so it will come as no surprise that I’ve been following Big Brother UK for the past few years.   I enjoy it far better than the US version for a number …

A while back I got turkey breasts on sale at the supermarket and put them in the freezer. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them but I decided to do a sort of turkey roll thing with stuffing and bacon and all that yummy goodness. They are in the oven now but this is what they …

So I watched that massively long episode of Idol last night.  I laughed and cried in all the appropriate spots and fast forwarded loads.  That’s the best part about downloading shows like this, you can watch a 1.5 hour show in about 20 minutes just by skipping the crap… and god is there lots of crap on AI this year. …

Ok one of these two women is going to win American Idol this year. It’s hard to say which one because they are both really good, but I’m positive it will be one or the other.   There are other good people this season but none come even close to these two. To be perfectly honest, other than Blake (the guy …

I’m a Pirate, I admit it, and writing about TV shows recently has made me think of just how much I love BitTorrent.  TV in the Netherlands blows, hardcore.  It’s getting better but it’s still nothing like back in North America. Recently we ordered digital cable but that turned out to be just more channels with nothing on them.   So …

Yes folks, my Reality TV addiction is still going strong… much to Xander’s dismay because I keep saying “omg watch this!”, when he really doesn’t want to. One of my latest favorites has been So You Think You Can Dance which I guess you could describe as the American Idol for dancers… only better. I love American Idol, but I …
