TV

This week, a lot has happened in my world of television. Okay, so what I watch is not at all versatile and either tween comedies, 90’s sitcoms, or ‘pretty people in New York’ shows, but still, I have Yahoo! as my homepage, and I follow AE’s blog for DWTS updates… even if I don’t watch it at all.

1. Total Drama World Tour. So it was Cody vs Alejandro vs Heather. Cody was out before the first commercial break. Courtney acted like a b!tch from my private school. It reminded me of those capture-the-flag days in gym when I’d be told to move because they were girls, and if I didn’t let them pass, they’d either make it look like I pushed kicked raped them. I remember I got one of them out once, but she kept moving, so I just tapped her shoulder and guess what? HER EXTENSIONS CAME OUT. And I got in trouble because that b!tch could fake cry and her parents ‘donated’ a lot. Private schools suck. But yeah, where was I? So Courtney was like ‘Let. Us. MOVE.’ and then Cody and Harold were like no and then she was either kicked or stabbed Harold in the privates. o.O And ugh, she’s been a camera whore since season 2. And this season she got eliminated at 7th/6th place and she STILL was in like most of the episodes after. Ugh. So where was I? Oh yeah. So Heather won. And then lost the money because of Ezekiel-in-Name-Only. Then everyone got burned. And next season has a new cast? Thanks a lot, EiNO! Let’s see how Courtney, Duncan and Owen will sneak on to the show now. The alternate ending was irritating, so I’m happy that Heather ‘legitimately’ won. Fun fact: She’s the first girl and minority winner of Total Drama.
2. iCarly: iStart a Fan War. So the trio goes to some web convention. Spencer tags along. I’ll save you one hour and sum up what really happened. Jack Black vs Jerry Trainer. Ugh. It was them being stupid and basically fighting hugging and shouting stupid chants. The trio got into a fight with their fans about who’s dating whom and then the fans got into a huuuugeeee fight. And then Carly just yelled at everyone and said ‘You’re all creeps for trying to pair us up. iCarly is about the comedy lololol’. And then Gibby and family got lost. The Gibby parts were funny, but it wasn’t iCarly; it felt more like some weird spinoff. It’s obvious Gibby and his brother are going to continue the Schneider-cy once iCarly ends. But yeah. I hate how Dan Schneider killed off any relationship growth between the characters and said we’re stupid for wanting anything because iCarly has ‘such fine and groundbreaking humor’. I mean, it’s better than half the things on Disney, but sometimes it feels like a glorified YouTube account. And when did Jack Black become so annoying? I liked School of Rock and I remember tolerating the few Kids Choice Awards he hosted but good gosh I can’t stand him and Jerry Trainer in the same room. The Zoey 101 and Drake and Josh reference/crossovers were nice at first, then they got annoying. But yeah, I hated how Dan just called all of his viewers, AKA his paycheck, nerds who don’t have anything else to do who hate his comedic skills and only care about relationships. And he also groups us iCarly viewers with those Dungeons and Dragons basement dwellers that treat MMPORGs religiously. And a lot of people on his blog agreed with me. I hated how at first it looked like a major episode of the show, but as the premiere date came closer, it became ‘featuring Jack Black!’ and it ended up as… a pointless filler episode where Dan Schneider basically verbally abused his fans.
3. Dancing with the Stars: How is Bristol still on? Ugh. Sure, people might be voting for her based on improvement, but I read AE’s blog post… so yeah. I remember reading someone wrote this once: “On DWTS, people are supposed to lose weight as a result of training. How do we know Bristol doesn’t deserve to last this long? She hasn’t trained at all, because every week she gets bigger and bigger. Seriously, she could just sit down and eat fried chicken on the floor and her partner could frolic around her and she’d still last’. Okay, so it’s a little paraphrased, but honestly, someone else wrote that! I mean, I don’t watch DWTS, but when she sent home like, what, 5 people home, shouldn’t that set someone’s radar off? I agree with Joy Behar on BP: “On one hand, I’m happy that she’s might win because it would make the Palins happy and not run for anything ever again. But on the other hand, what if a dancing show is just the start? What if they’re convinced that America wants to see more of them? If Bristol won a dancing show, how would they do during an actual election?”.

This Needs a Title

Thank you ILovetheSims7 for gifting us the Spiky and Suave hairstyle. :) SS and I appreciate it! :D

My laptop cooler broke… and my laptop already shut down from the heat twice last night. :/

This weekend, I don’t have as much homework as I always do. I have to do some vocab logs, and type up an introduction paragraph and body paragraphs… so maybe I could get more Simming done today?

I’m probably going to have to catch up with the Total Drama World Tour finale online this weekend, because I have to study for 3 quizzes Monday night. :/ And I’m worried that there will be an alternate ending, because the Total Drama people have alternate endings for different countries. So… reruns ftw?

I’m really impressed by the new Sims patch… you know, after spending like 4 days trying to fix it. I like the new half wall features, and making groups and stuff. It’s like buying Late Night without actually buying it!

I have to go back to gym this week. D: I don’t hate it, but it sucks in winter because the cardio day stuff is all gross indoor exercises. Like, the class is divided into freshmen boys, freshmen girls, sophomore boys, and sophomore girls. Then, there’s like 4 exercises: Jogging, jump roping, steps, and situps. And usually, the group before me sweats in the sit up place… so ew. I’d rather run outside. Oh, and my classes are really far away from the gym, so I’m probably going to be late a lot. And they already let us out late at gym… so yeah. Oh, and my hair gets ruined too, but that’s a minor issue. :P

I hate how Nickelodeon keeps on having all these random one hour specials and calling them movies. Now, like 60% of iCarly episodes are advertised as movies or specials.

Oh yeah. Last week, I went to Old Navy and they had a promotional decoration/sign thing that said ‘WOO HOO!!!!!!’. I was laughing. :P

Quick Post

Aw, my weekend is almost over. D: But…

• Happy (belated) birthday AE! I didn’t really have a lot of time to go online today because I had to read Misery(And ohmygosh is that Anne Wilkes lady a creep or what?). I hope your day went great. :) I remember before I got The Sims 3, SS and I use to play Sims 2 Pets for the Wii. It was alright, but it got boring quickly. :P I hope your console game stays fun longer.
• I think network executives hate me. I’ve noticed the main times I can watch TV, Friday afternoon until Sunday night, all of my favorite shows are on. At this moment, Roseanne, How I Met Your Mother, and The Nanny are all on. But I don’t know what to watch! D: HiMyM is on some local channel at like 7, and I’ve seen like at least 3/4ths of The Nanny episodes, so that should make things a bit easier, but eh.
• Total Drama World Tour. I honestly think that the producers love Courtney’s voice actress a little too much. She’s treated as some high powered goddess in the show, and nobody calls her out for her attitude, and when they do, they will receive hell. I’ve rewatched the first 7 or 8 episodes of Action online, and so far, it's alright. I’m worried for Courtney’s return. *Shutters* And ugh, the season is almost over in the US. That means I’ll have to wait until summer, at least, for the new (short!) season. But Canada ends their season in February, so…? Teletoon better get their act together. :P

Oh, and it’s Daylight Savings Time… sometime today. So go change your clocks and stuff. :P

Just a Note

I’m going to be really busy until… next Wednesday? Or at least until this Friday. I have three tests then. :( And then I get off next Thursday and Friday. But I have a lot of end of marking period stuff to do… so yikes. I have to catch up on like 4 legacies and stories. And the new patch. Hopefully, everything will work?

And in other news, I stopped watching Mike And Molly. They had too much sex jokes which were on the disturbing side. As in, I don’t need to hear that on a Monday night kind of gross. But Total Drama World Tour just got so much better! O: I could’ve gone without the Courtney/Duncan/Gwen love triangle this season, but whatever.

 

I can’t believe we’re almost done with 1/4th of the school year! Time flies by too quickly! … And so does this blog post! Adios! :P

How I spent my Saturday

So, with the recent anti-EA trend sweeping the Sims Community, I decided to go on a mini tirade against them yesterday. Okay, so it was just me emailing companies that won’t do anything to take me seriously, but hey, I did something.

• I emailed companies. Like, 4 or 5 different major websites. I’m not sure if I’ll get a reply, but hey, if I got one before, I could get one now too, right? I talked about the gifting bans, mostly, but if I have time today, I’ll try emailing them again about the Spyware stuff on AE’s blog.
• I went on the EA forum to… hunt Jarsie9 down and report her for literally 90% of her posts. I don’t care if she’s some senile old woman who doesn’t know how to treat people because she lives far away from everyone so she deluded herself into thinking that online arguments count as relationships. She should invest her Internet bills and Sims allowance on a therapist, or adopt something from an animal shelter. No, wait. That would be animal abuse. Maybe a pet rock or flower first. Maybe. Oh, and is there a penalty for reporting people too much? I don’t want to get banned on the EA forum, even if it’s crap. It’s a pride thing. :P
• And this isn’t Sims related, but… I started watching Cougar Town! I like it. It’s funny(The drinking games and balloon hunts made me LOL) and I <3 Courtney Cox because of Friends. I regret not watching the first season, but to be fair, I’m watching this season on Free on Demand(Yeah, like I have time to watch TV on a Wednesday night!) until I have time to catch up or whatever. Jen Aniston’s guest appearance made me LOL, too.
• Oh, and back to the Sims stuff. My laptop charger thing fell out and I didn’t notice and then my laptop shut down on me while I was playing the Sims. :( My fault, but I’ll blame it on EA. :P
• Straying away from the Sims again. I watched the London episode of Total Drama World Tour, and Gwen really became annoying. Cheating is cheating. I don’t care if it’s ‘twu luv’ emo style. And why did Duncan get to vote? He just got brought into the game, not knowing what was going on. Duncan and Tyler shouldn’t have voted with Alejandro, especially if Alejandro was the first one out of the challenge. They should really show who voted for who(m?) in a special episode. :P Yes, I’m the only person who would watch it… but they made one for Total Drama Island that was just ‘special edition blooper clips’ so Teletoon doesn’t really have priorities when it comes to airing and making episodes.
• I watched that The Nanny: Fran Unfiltered! marathon on Nick @ Nite. It makes me sad how the only time I could watch The Nanny is when Roseanne is on. And George Lopez too. WHY? I have to put up with like 10 hours of My Wife and Kids and Everybody Loves Raymond, but when those three shows are on, they get shoehorned into like the 2:00 AM slot on weekends. And then Friends is getting screwed around on TBS, because of Everybody Loves Raymond. And I’d say that the episodes the Nick @ Nite executives picked were alright-ish. I see like 1 or 2 of them on a monthly basis, so the only ‘controversial’ episodes that were played were… Fran considering going to a sperm bank, Fran accidentally kidnapping a child, Maxwell’s assistant having a crush on Fran, and the assistant was a lesbian(No, not CC. :P) and… yeah. They made the episodes sound like never before seen, or lost episodes, but it was only ‘Oh, that’s an… interesting scenario. Now, let me change the channel before I hear that laugh again.’ stuff. And it was sponsored by Butterfingers. The candy bar. Yes, I’m confused on why chocolate candy is sponsoring a marathon for The Nanny, too.

And in other news. Ugh. I just found out that the Sims 3 console has kids and life cycles(And weather for the Wii! :D) available. It sounds tempting: Legacies without the lag. But no. I can’t give in to EA. Especially if a majority of my funds go to fast food and Aeropostale at the mall.

Monday Night Motivations

Normally, Mondays are boring, depressing, and slow for me. But last week, I found something to keep me happy(ish) and focused on Mondays: Television. Now, I understand that you might be thinking that TV is bad for school and all, but it helps me finish my homework faster if I want to watch something at 9.  And my main ‘procrastination zone’ is the Internet, so my parents are okay with it. :P

I watch two shows on Monday Nights: Total Drama World Tour, and Mike & Molly.

Total Drama World Tour: It’s an animated reality show which is in it’s third season. The characters are teen and reality show stereotypes, and this season features musical numbers, as well. I love it, even if I already know who wins(Spoilers suck! D:). And it has more adult(No, not like Family Guy) humor, with subtle jokes, like the following portion:

-Guys, listen to me! I’m a CIT! (Counselor in Training)

-More like a B I T C-

-Alright ladies, chill.

It’s a good switch from the average Spongebob or whatever, so I <3 it. :P

Mike & Molly: It’s about two people who fall in love… at an overeaters anonymous meeting. I like how it’s realistic, they don’t rely off of cursing too much, and the actors are really fat. No, I don’t mean it like I’m happy that their actors are more likely to die from their obesity, but how it’s not like ‘Gasp! You’re 91 pounds! Whaaaaleee!’.

Then I also have Melissa and Joey, but that’s on Tuesday nights.

What TV shows do you watch?
