Long Time no Blog

Long Time no Blog:
So the length of time was due to an amazing trip to Hawaii. We were at the Fairmont in Maui for the first 4 days and LOOOOOVED it. H had a great time feeding the fish as well as swimming for several hours a day in the pool and ocean. Kauai was nice but not the best place for a family vacation. H had a really good time BUT just less fun of a place for a kid is all. The weather was ok, so all in all we are going back to Maui next year for a full week. Drucker’s going to Hawaii YAAAAY!

WiWS Games 6 and 7:
I have lost steam on this subject so here is the synopsis: game 6 the Cards score 4 in the first and the Angels scrap to tie it in the 3rd and take the lead winning game 6 6-4. Game 7, Eckstein leads off the game with a homer, the Angels scrap to score single runs in 4 of the first 5 innings. In the 6th Taguchi hits a 3 run shot followed by another run that inning and that was all she wrote. Cards win in 7 games. My vote is that Eckstein is the MVP of the series. Lee what is your vote?

Slingbox:
It still rocks extra hard. Love it and am amazed that it is such a simple and wonderful piece of hardware. I love it. Did I mention I love it?

Go Bears:
The Big Game is this week and it is looking far less like a lock then it was 4 weeks ago. Cal just needs steady play from their QB and we should be a lock. StanfUrd has been playing with far more confidence of late. I hate the Big Game. R and I are mortal enemies and H is in between saying “Go Bears!” and “Go StanfUrd” alternately. Good times.

TV Watch:
So here is the semi regular update as to what I watch on what nights. Today with a 0-100 score for how good I think the show is (the nightly averages are weighted by length of show):

Sunday: The Simpsons (85, much better this year than last), Family Guy (92), American Dad (70, but improving), The West Wing (80, improving as well), L&O Criminal Intent (82), Desperate Housewives (85 and declining, might get dropped by Drucker), Grey’s Anatomy (87, really steady but doesn’t make me cry like my friend the BABY Dan!). – 5.5 hours (Average Night Score of: 82.6)

Monday: How I Met Your Mother (90, funny well timed comedy), Prison Break (84, improving but still gimmicky at best). – 1.5 hours (86) – Note that Arrested Development and Kitchen Confidential are not reported. Fox cancelled em so I don’t watch em.

Tuesday: Gilmore Girls (90, steady performer), House (just re-added 80), My Name is Earl (85, getting better and better), The Office (96, the last 4 episodes have been the funniest sitcom episodes in some time), Supernatural (75, good and creepy but eh), Law and Order SVU (85). – 5 hours (avg score: with Supernatural – 84.1, without: 86.4).

Wednesday: Lost (90), Veronica Mars (93, so much like Buffy and in Robin’s top 5 shows ever, yes EVER), L&O Regular Edition (84, steady performer as well). – 3 hours (avg score: 89). Note: Invasion was recently dropped from my diet.

Thursday: The OC (82, just not THAT into it), Survivor (85, good trashy reality TV), Everybody Hates Chris (91, AWSESOMELY funny show), ER (85, good old school fun). – 2.5 hours (avg score: 85)

Friday and Saturday: no shows.

New Total Show Diet with the inclusion of House: 17.5 hours with an overall average of: 85. So there we go.

Upcoming shows to be added: Scrubs!
