Remember years ago when I posted about Fox News trashing the Netherlands? Then later about the Dutchie’s response to the ridiculous babblings of Bill O’Reilly? I don’t think it’s any secret that I think Bill O’Reilly is a complete douche, nor do I think it’s an unpopular opinion. He’s a blow hard who hears nothing [...]
One of the things from my 101 List that I’ve been most keen to do is start riding my bike again. I’ve not ridden my bike in the last number of years because I never found it comfortable. To put it bluntly, I’ve been too fat and self-conscious.
We bought it about 5 years ago because [...]
If you haven’t been following Shit My Dad Says on Twitter up until now, you’ve been missing out, it’s one of my favorite Twitter feeds by far. It’s some of the funniest stuff I’ve read in a while, and from the first time I saw it, I thought THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT SITCOM! There’s [...]
We all know I’m terrible for taking long, agonizing walks down Memory Lane, right? Well… I’m at it again!
Out of the blue a few days ago I started humming the theme song to The Littlest Hobo. When I told my husband about it he had never heard of the show so I started singing the [...]
I’ve now watched a full 11 episodes of Glee, and I’m perplexed. Do I like it? Do I hate it? I can’t figure it out! It’s a bit of both… I want to love it but all the little things that bug me keep piling up and putting me off.
It’s like when you [...]
If you are like me and grumbled over shows like Lipstick Jungle, Swingtown and Samantha Who? getting cancelled, I might have found something else you might like. This is mostly for the other expat gals who, like me, have to download everything they want to watch and may not have heard of it. It’s called [...]
Being a big TV and Movie nut, I rather enjoy reading websites about stars, upcoming shows and films, and celebrity gossip. I like seeing the sneak peak photos of movies that I’m waiting excitedly for *CoughNewMoonCough* and seeing who is dating who, who’s up for the lead in what film, and so on.
Lemme tell ya [...]
Isn’t it typical that just when I am starting to think about trying to lose weight, I am being haunted by KFC? - It’s EVERYWHERE!
Yesterday I got up and checked my favorite celeb gossip site and saw a write-up about how Oprah has Americans everywhere running to KFC to use the printable coupon she’s offered [...]
Bones is one of my favorite shows, and in the latest episode Dr. Brennan gets a bit of baby fever. Watching her try to be maternal and relate to babies is hilarious. Even more hilarious than than when she tries to relate to adult humans.
The whole baby fever thing is something I can totally understand, [...]
A while back I blogged about some funny Dutch TV ads, and every time I’ve seen the above ad I’ve meant to put it on here as well but kept forgetting.
I just saw this at 7pm on a Sunday evening while sitting and watching some TV after dinner. Even after living here almost 10 years [...]
Today I had this conversation with my friend Suzy on Facebook:
Suzy: wants to let everyone know, Monday, March 2, Big Bang Theory hits Dutch TV: Veronica 9:50 =o). 11 minutes ago -
Me: at 2:51pm February 28
LOVE THAT SHOW!! I download it and watch it faithfully. I have a wee crush on Sheldon and I AM [...]
New show to love! Usually I’m quite on top of good new shows but this one was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so glad, I love it! If you haven’t watched it, you should… Toni Colette is better than ever and I think the story has some real potential. I love the [...]
Halloween is not a big thing in NL at all. They sell a small amount of decoration in some shops but there is no big hype about it like back in North America. There’s no children out trick or treating, no big zombie walks like in Toronto (I soooo wish there was) and the only [...]
Yesterday I watched the first episode of the new season of Desperate Housewives. Oh god, where to start! I loved this show in the beginning but haveused it as more of a time filler show last season, rather than something I was actually eager to see. This season, I’m not even sure I even want [...]
If you have never heard of the show Dead Like Me, it’s not really a big surprise. It was one of those oddities, like Firefly, that doesn’t run for long but is mysteriously canceled, causing an uproar among fans. It has a cult following and those who loved it loved it madly… including me.
Here is [...]
I recently watched the first season of The Big Bang Theory and instead of laughing at the characters, I was laughing with them and wishing I was the one who lived across the hall from them.
I think a lot of women dream about living across the hall from Brad Pitt or the guys from Two [...]
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 [...]
This afternoon I watched the latest episode (208 – Close Enough to Touch) of McLeod’s Daughters and it was the most tearjerkingest (that’s a word, right? :P) episode I’ve ever seen.
I won’t get into what happened because I know my mother won’t be able to stop herself from reading this, and she is a few [...]
If Rex is ever up for eviction in Big Brother UK, VOTE HIS ASS OUT!!! OMG, I don’t remember the last time I ever saw someone on TV, fictional or reality, that I despise as much as this man.
Is anyone else watching this season? I want to climb through my screen and poke his eyes [...]
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! Would someone please tell Paula Abdul that there is no such word as NITCH?! I swear, every time that dumb bitch opens her mouth I want to scream, but when she says ‘You have found your NITCH’ I want to go all unibomber on her ass. GAWD!! How do they [...]
