I'm so excited! It's National Stay at Home Week. Which means that all my favorite shows are starting back up this week. Dancing with the Stars kicks it off tonight and though I'm not particularly excited about this cast, I'm still going to watch it. Maks will be back this season!! Woo Hoo!! I'm really excited about my favorite show coming on tomorrow night. NCIS is the best show. People compare it to all the CSI's but it really isn't like those shows. They only handle military crimes. I've watched some of the CSI's and they are very good but I just love NCIS! Mark Harmon is the star of it and he is a beautiful silver fox! He's so good looking and has the best smile. All the actors in this show are extremely underrated! Why this show and its actors don't get nominated for awards is beyond me. They are very talented. The show isn't all about the crimes either. They delve into the characters and their relationships. It has everything too, comedy, drama, action, and a goth forensic scientist. It's just a good all around show. I highly recommend you check it out. I was telling a friend about it and she borrowed my DVDs of the show and was hooked. She's added it to her list of shows. It's the best!
I also can't wait for The Office to come back. I got into this last year which was their fourth season. When the show first came on four years ago, I didn't like it. I just didn't get the humor. But my brother loved and kept telling me to give it a chance. Well, I started watching movies with Steve Carell and John Krasinski in them and thought they were hilarious so I thought I would give it another chance and fell in love with the show. So I got caught up on the past seasons and now I'm ready for the new season to start. I have so many other shows that I'm excited about as well, but they are too many to mention. It may sound like I watch a lot of TV but I really don't. I also don't have a husband or kids to occupy my time in the evenings and I do read books during commercials (and sometimes the shows if they aren't holding my attention) and I do other things whilst watching my shows so it's not like I'm a couch potato. I stay busy and productive. So back off! :)
Anyway, it's a great week and I've been looking forward to it all summer. It's seems like forever since the shows have been on and that may be because the seasons were cut short because of the writer's strike. They owe us big time this season!
Oh! The Emmy's were on last night...BORING!!! Having five hosts was the worst decision that the Emmy people could have made. They were so boring and talked so long and just weren't funny. The best part of the night was Josh Grobin singing 30 themes songs from shows of the past 60 years! It was awesome and he is my new favorite performer. So dreamy!! :) Also, on a side note...The Office was robbed...and Michael Emerson from LOST. He's so underrated. He's my favorite bad guy. Which I don't consider him a bad guy anymore. If you watch LOST then you will understand what I'm saying.
It's probably good that it's National Stay at Home Week this week, at least in Nashville, because we have no gas here! That's right. Nashville ran out of gas this weekend and if you find gas you are one of the few lucky people. It's been crazy. I'm so thankful that I wasn't part of it. Let's see if I can start from the beginning. The night before Hurricane Ike hit Texas I filled up my car with gas because the price was really low and I was on empty anyway. Fast forward to this past Friday. At this time, I was just above a half tank. (I only work about 2 miles from my home so I don't use up a lot of gas. I can go 2 weeks before filling my car up.) So I had no plans to fill up. Anyway, a rumor went out in Nashville that we were about to run out of gas so the entire city panicked!! It's like the night before it snows (flurries) here. You know, they all run to the store for bread and milk. Which, why bread and milk? They both spoil after a week or two...wouldn't you get something that will last for a few more weeks than that? I'm just saying. Anyway, Friday was just like that. It started in the morning and progressively got worse. At most pumps people were waiting in line for over 2 hours to get gas. Then those people would fill up and fill up several gas cans. It's ridiculous. By Saturday almost every single gas station was out of gas! Then when the stations would get gas they would be bombarded with cars and be out of gas in two hours! Cars were running out of gas, people were getting in fights, getting arrested for getting into fights. It was crazy! I'm so glad that I didn't have to get in the middle of all that mess. If people hadn't of panicked and only got what they needed instead of topping off and hoarding the gas, we wouldn't have had these problems. Outsiders are making fun of Nashville for their stupidity. It's almost deserved.
Don't get me wrong. I love this beautiful city. It's just that they panic so easily and they cause bigger problems like that they did this weekend. Mountains out of molehills...that's what I should have titled this entry. :) I know that when the hurricane did hit that the gas pipeline that runs to Nashville from Houston was shut down for a few days but it's been back up and running with short interruptions. They are reporting that by the end of the week things will be back to normal. I really hope so because I know by then I'll have to fill up. I've never seen anything like this before. It's crazy, but if missing work will help conserve my gas, I'll gladly sacrifice that. :)
Happy National Stay at Home Week to you!!
