I caught up with Bad Girls Club last night, these girls never disappoint. I love that AmberKooky, that little racist girl that doesn't even flinch when chicks wanna 'fight'. Good bye Kayla, KC whatever the heck your name is I think you need some meds, seriously get help please. When she was fighting she cracked me up. Were you fighting or swimming? Who waves their arms around like that, I'll tell you who, folks who can't fight. Stick to what you know, getting drunk and getting sent to the hospital crying, "I'm not crazeeeee" I think KookyAmber was right, she'll fight the folks she knows she can take, she wasn't 'bout to mess with folks at the 'black' club even after they choked her (which btw: I would have love to see, I'm still skeptical that it happened for reals). Tiff, please get off the ride shouting, "I'm not on tv in Chicago, Chi-town, what, Chi-town what" throwing up your faux badassness was weak, please. And icky Marcus, holding you back? Again, please. Whitney's friend passing was sad, just let it out, don't try and be stupid talking about how you can club promote and you know all these 'big deal' folks, and stop throwing in you're from Boston, ok we get it. Even though, you are pretty much from a northern 'burb and not quite from any little 'hood that wouldn't be considered hard anywhere. Have a drink, have a good cry, you'll be ok. Again, I liked when Kooky, was making fun of Whitney for trying to show off at the club. Back to Kayla, lady, don't go out to eat if you can't tip properly. You were making just as big a deal of $2 as Kooky was. She didn't wanna look like a jerk to the servers, tip them already, don't be the bad stereotype please. Wait, scratch that. You are already a bad stereotype. What the heck did these chicks come to the house for, was it to better themselves? I don't quite know the point of the show, but I'll still watch, because they are quite entertaining. Hard? No, but still entertaining.
I also watched, True Beauty last night. I love the rock of love rejects that only these reality shows can find. Chelsea shoulda went home, Ashley shoulda went home. Anymore to add to that? Ashely, your outfit was 'cute' if you were attending a high school homecoming or a sweet sixteen party. How old are you? Try lightening up on the product you put in your hair, it looks really damaged one more bleach job and it's gonna fall out. And let's steer away from the dayglo pink lipstick mmkay? Chelsea, I didn't watch the entire first episode so I don't know what you did to the people that live in the house with you, but dang! They really hate you, huh? Those guys, hmmm again, I didn't watch the whole first episode so I don't quite know their attitudes, but based on looks, NOT the most beautiful person in America. I've seen enough of the girls, yeah you ladies suck too. Be nice, there is always someone who looks better than you, can dress better than you, that can work it better than you and your looks will fade one day.
OK, off the tv topic. Things at home are going well. Reyna will be inducted in the Junior National Honor Society next week, or is it the National Junior Honor Society? I obviously was not in this as a kid, or else I would probably know the name of it. She's doing well in school, her new year's resolution was to get straight A's at least one quarter this year. I don't know how she's doing so well in school, she seems to miss a lot of it. I might as well home school. It's been about 9 months since she had pneumonia and her middle and inner ear infections in both ears, and she still doesn't seem to have recovered. She seems to get sick at the drop of the dime now. Makes me sad, I hope she can get and stay healthy. She's still loving dance and drama is in full swing. I love to watch her dance classes, she's got some physically limitations and she's not the traditional bodytype for a dancer, but we love watching her she looks like a dancer to us. The boy, is well the boy. My little chauvinistic child. He insists I need to stay home and in the kitchen. And while I'm at home in the kitchen I need to make him tortillas every day. He told me a few weeks ago, "mommy, you know why I like that song womanizer?" my answer, 'why?' his response, 'because the guy is mean to all the ladies in the video' nice. I also received a magazine not so long ago with scantily clad Beyonce on the cover, to which my 5 year old's eyes nearly bust out of his head, 'She's BEAUTIFUL'. Great, just great, I think I'm sending him to a monestary.

Reliving my youth and other frivolity
This is two months after the fact but I'm still gonna write about it.
I took Reyna to see the wonder that is Twilight opening night. She had told me all about the book I couldn't have stopped her from rambling if I wanted to, she is a complete bookworm anyway, but she's loved these books since before the phenom happened. She got a lot of her friends hooked and now I actually think she is a little over hearing people tell her things about it every second of the day, lol. So we went and since I already had the background story, I think I knew what to expect.
Honestly, I felt like a kid again. Not just because I sat in a row that was all her friends (ages 12-14) or that the theatre was packed with adolescents. The movie was just a sweet movie. Very fairy tale, it's going to make every little girl look at love and boys in that very idealistic way. I think that is such a great thing, I remember that when I was a kid, I thought all that was gone. It was a lovely little love story, I guess and I think although some of the scenes seemed 'hot' to me as a 32 year old lady, I don't think as a kid they always got it. In fact it was pointed out to me, by another 12 year old there that there were 'only 3 kissing scenes in the whole movie!' I told her, 'ok little hormone that's enough'
I mean there was the obvious, the directing wasn't that great sometimes the makeup looked like bad stage pancake makeup, and of course where you could obviously see things like Edward's contact lenses; but overall I think it went well. I thought the actors were good choices for the parts. Reyna and I keep hearing, 'they need to fire Jacob, he was awful'. OK, he had like 5 lines in the movie and his storyline in the book (which I have finally read) wasn't much more than that either, if at all. His description in the book was, 'bronze skin and sleek black hair' doesn't that fit the description of the kid portraying him? And then the big, 'they're gonna fire him, because he was so bad' when it really would have been because the features of the character changes so much from the first and second book that they thought about changing the actor, not because he sucked. Alice, I thought was cute. Her description in the book was sorta of 'pixie-ish' I think that was what the actress looked like. Rosalie, I thought was good too, she was very pretty, voluptuous and looked like a bitch that I imagined her to be. Carlysle, the only thing bad I could say about him was the makeup. The 'bad' vampires? Well, the men, were NOT as they described in the book so that annoyed me a little bit, but I thought the girl was a good choice. As for Edward, well, I think Reyna had a little more hopes for his casting, she kept going on and on about how he was supposed to 'perfect'. Perfect skin, flawless, blemish free, no scars, nothing. I don't think anyone could have played him to her expectations, though, she'll still be on Team Edward for life lol.
There's my review, all in all a nice movie coming to dvd in March I hear and filming for the second begins next month I hear also, guess I better start reading book 2.
In other frivolous-ness, ha I watched Bromance this morning while I was getting ready for work. Seriously, love this show. Brody Jenner is such a douche, so what does that make those kids that want to hang out with him?
Come on, Femi? He was a 'hyena', that cat is just a mess. He's got to be great for the camera though, they will not get rid of him for a while I suspect. I don't think he'd fare as well on a show like I love NY, such a loser I think even those people could wipe the floor with him. Jered? He reminds me of some people I know from when I was much younger, all he's got in him is to call people a 'girl' or 'gay' oooo you're wicked cool with calling the boys out aren't ya? Glad he's gone. The Filipino guy, what kind of jokes were you telling? Poor kid, then he was crying about it after,,,awww you gave it a shot at least. Gary? Is that the dancer? I still like him, I'm not sure why, but I'm hoping he'll make it far, although I don't think he'll make it past the next week or too. I'm seeing Brody picking the guy from Boston, or hmmm the other guy. When the dancer was trying to show them some dance moves, they were not bad, didn't poke too much fun and gave it a shot. They didn't care if they looked bad, they had fun with it, I think that was great. Can't wait for next week's episode, maybe I'll remember the names better by then.
I also watched Jon & Kate last night, they went to the dentist. Is it just me or do they look like a lot bigger only 6 months after the last dentist visit? Are they sure it's only been 6 months? I know kids grow fast, I mean please I have two, I know they grow quick, but that just seemed like they were much younger. Kate, as per usual, stopped Jon from asking Hannah a question in the interview couch, because she just needed to interrupt him with something MUCH more important I guess. She told Jon he needed to do a better job of brushing their teeth, I guess it's too much for her to do or something. Yeah the dentist sure did have a lot of different flavors of toothpaste didn't she? And Kate, as long as we're correcting folks, I think the scented gloves, should be called 'scented gloves' not 'flavored gloves', am I right? Those were cool too, I've never seen them. Then they took the twins to the orthodontist, where Maddy refused to go first so Kate told Cara to. Cara started to say, "why do you always…." Sometimes it sucks being the one that behaves and listens you get the short end of the stick when the other ones act out.
I've got some more catching up to do on my other programs, I can't wait, have I mentioned I love dvr. I'm excited to see True Beauty, and Momma's Boys.

Mary Without Pity
How do I love thee, DVR
Let me count the ways
I love thee to the depth and breadth,,,,
aw screw it I just love the dvr, how did I watch tv before? I can't even watch live tv anymore, it's just no fun.
How did I know about GWoP and DWoP before being a member of TWoP?
TVTVTV I adore thee
Mondays are big nights I've got Bromance, Diet tribe, Superstars of Dance, Jon & Kate plus 8, and the Secret Life of an American Teenager going, not to mention several repeats of my favorite shows, Ellen, Oprah, Rachel Rae, and Little People, Big World when that is not showing repeats.
Where O where do I begin?
Bromance, wow I never thought this would be a show I could stand, but many those guys are as bad as the Rock of Love chicks. The guy puking last week after too much vodka the previous night, the guy that compared himself to every animal, I liked when they gave him a hard time, "I'm a dolphin!' I personally like the dancer kid, I hope he gets far.
I attempted to even record the City, but I couldn't handle it even Reyna who is 12 thought it was just awfully boring, so Whitney is it love or is it lust? who cares, your still boring and I've canceled you from my record settings, see ya.
Diet Tribe, ooo the fake red head with the bad bangs, she is one bitter cookie. I still hope they all do well, she will do lots for the camera as will the former trainer that wants to argue with the trainer they are using. I do see a tinge of myself in her though eep!
Superstars of Dance, ugh Argentina had to go, and I admit some of the tricks that the other teams did were very impressive, but that was not dance technique, impressive, but show me dancing not tricks.
Jon & Kate plus 8, oy do I even need to talk about them lol, what free thing will they pimp their kids out for this week? What sort of berating will Kate give to Jon when he uses an adverb wrong in a sentence?
Secret Life, wow, I missed the previous season and watched a marathon last week. It was just awesome, I like how they have that little PSA at the end about talking to your kids about sex, I hope some parents will listen.
Ellen is definitely my fave, I love love love her. she is just fabulous. Everything she does is just fabulous.
Rachel Rae, I can honestly say the only thing I like about her is the little 15 minute cooking segment at the end. I don't see the appeal, but her recipes are so simple it's hard to resist.
And Oprah, well we can all learn something from Oprah, can't we ;)
