We also have Cougar Town

Cougar Town is on ABC at 9:30 pm est.

Everyone knows that this is the new Courtney Cox show but what they may not know is that it si pretty funny and has lots of naked menz. Well shirtless at least.

Jules, Cox, is a newly divorced mom with boundary issues - she doesn't have any. She shares everything with her high school aged son much to his shagrin, flashes a school mate (say what you want but she has a GREAT body) and gets caught by him giving head to her hunky, hairy chested one night stand.

Her neighbor, Grayson, is also recently divorced and is sleeping with any girl under 25. This actor is soooo my type. Also floating around is Jules ex, Bobby, a semi-pro ex golfer who get a new job as the landscaper at his sons' high school. We see him cutting the grass shirtless.

The rest of the cast is very enjoyable and includes two Drew Cary Show alumni - Christa Miller and Ian Gomez. As with Modern Family and too many new shows, the pilot and cast was good enough to bring me back for more.

GET TO KNOW

Cougar Town follows the life of recent divorcée Jules Cobb (Courteney Cox). Jules runs a successful business, has the best friends, and a great son. But when it comes to relationships, she has a lot to learn. However, the more Jules puts herself back out there, the more she discovers that the only way to find yourself, is to let yourself go. After all, you only get one chance to experience your 20s. Even if it’s when you’re 40 something.

Opposite Glee we have....Modern Family

Modern Family in on ABC - Modern Family at 9pm est.

Modern Family was fairly funny and features a likable cast including Married with Children's Ed O'Neill and a gay couple who have just adopted a Vietnamese.

Mitchell, red headed Jesse Tyler Ferguson you know from everywhere (including Ellen), is too insecure for my taste and his partner, although hilarious, is too dramatic. When in introduces the family to their new daughter, he has music, lighting and curtains. They make for a funny couple but not a very good example for Gay Marriage - why couldn't be more like the way I imagine Neil and David to be? I'll have to see how this show develops but is was entertaining enough to watch again.

The Synopsis

Jay recently married Gloria. Now Jay is trying hard to keep up with his much younger and hotter Colombian wife, along with her passionate pre-teen son, Manny. Claire is having a hard time raising her own family. Her husband Phil is great, except that he thinks he's "down" with their three kids, much to all their embarrassment. And, Mitchell and his enthusiastic partner Cameron have just made a major life change by adopting a Vietnamese baby named Lily.

Thank you. I've gotten to know some wonderful people - Prospero, CB, Michael, Chris and many others.

Not bad for someone who just created a blog to keep track of all the blogs he reads in one location, accessible from anywhere and with last update status.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE BY MAURICE SENDAK

The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind

and another
his mother called him "WILD THING"
and Max said 'I'LL EAT YOU UP!'
so he was sent to bed without eating anything.

That very night in Max's room a forest grew
and grew...
and grew until his ceiling hung with vines
and the walls became the world all around
and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max
and he sailed off through night and day
and in and out of weeks
and almost over a year
to where the wild things are.

And when he came to the place where the wild things are
they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth
and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws
till Max said "BE STILL"
and tamed them with the magic trick
of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once
and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all
and made him king of all wild things.

"And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"

"Now stop!" Max said and sent the wild things off to bed
without their supper. And Max the king of all wild things was lonely
and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all.

Then all around from far away across the world
he smelled good things to eat
so he gave up being the king of where the wild things are.

But the wild things cried, "Oh please don't go -
we'll eat you up-we love you so!"
And Max said, "No!"

The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth
and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws
but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye
and sailed back over a year
and in and out of weeks
and through a day
and into the night of his very own room
where he found his supper waiting for him
and it was still hot.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

In preparation for out trip to see the October 16th release of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, I ordered the book from Amazon so my nephew (and I too) could read it before seeing the movie. We're both very excited about seeing it - although he's more excited about seeing Zombieland of Friday (this kid loves all things dead). I didn't remember that this was/is mostly a picture book with little writing. After the trailer, I've rewritten the lines of the book so you don't have to buy the book or stand in Boarders (nod to David at Controlling the Transmissions) reading it- but they lack something without the illustrations.

Dexter: Season 4 Premieres September 27

I can't wait! Dexter tries to find a way to balance his family life now that his son is born and his "extra-curricular" activities. That's the gist of Dexter season 4 which premieres this Sunday after more than nine months of absence. But what if there's competition? The series introduces Miami's latest and deadliest serial k*ller to be played by John Lithgow. We'll find out how Dexter will be affected by this new character as the season begins with the episode entitled Living the Dream. Here's more: "Dexter is now living with three kids and a wife in a new home. Along with his new son Harrison, the complexities of being a suburban father of three is making it difficult for Dexter to concentrate on his work. His lack of sleep leads him to let a murderer walk by bringing the wrong documents to court and puts a strain on his life outside of the office."

The New Lost/Heros? I hope so

The Crazy and Racism is Everywhere

Who would have thought that sweet, hunky and all-American country singing superstar Brad Paisley could become a target for hate similar to what the Dixi Chicks experienced.

Voenix Rising posted this video. I clicked one too many times and wound up on the You Tube page and saw some of the comments. WOW! There're posted after the video.

The embedding was disabled so click here for Welcome to the Future by Brad Paisley. Say what you want but the man sure can wear a pair of jeans.

I have to be honest and agree with those who hate this video too….this video is SO unAmerican and offensive and I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks so=(

southernjake77 (3 weeks ago)
I agree this video is so liberal and pc…. I bet he voted for the tyrant too. and yes its VERY antiamerican

duesouthfreak (3 weeks ago)
I’m sorry but how is this sng “unAmerican”? This is probably the most American song I have ever heard. And how is it offensive? I’m not trying to harp on you I would just like to understand where you are comeing from.

psalms63 (3 weeks ago)
I believe its offensive because Lincoln was offered a peaceful secession by the South and instead he killed 620,000 people in a BS war. His war-crimes were unspeakable! My family line had the union burn their entire crops down when they were unarmed. Read Lincoln Unmasked and you’ll see why standing in front of his monument is offensive to the South.

southernjake77 (3 weeks ago)
Thank you! Someone actually wasn’t taught history by the Govt schools!
This video REALLY is offensive…thanks ashley for the share

duesouthfreak (3 weeks ago)
I see psalms63 thank you for your opinion. I can some what understand why you dislike this video. I will definatly read the Lincoln Unmasked. I live in Canada and we don’t learn anything about the states, except American football is way better then Canadian and that we kicked your ass in the war of 1812. I don’t know why and I would like to learn more about our neighbour.

lincon unmasked is a book only talking abut the bad things fisrt off,and the confedercy killed and tourcherd more union soldgers the the union,if you take all of th good things it over does the bad

brmarine1 (4 hours ago)
psalms63 , you are by far the biggest idiot I have ever heard of on any blog. you hold prejudice to someone for something that happened that long ago that really doesnt even affect you. you need to get over it just like everyone else, I hope you dont work with many people because your prejudice will make you look like a fool.

My Kindle

I've had my Kindle for several months now and I love it.

Years ago, before I ever heard of the Kindle or eReaders I had said to my then BF that there should be a BookMan. I hate it when others profit from my ideas.

The best feature and the reason I wanted the Kindle is it's ability to increase the size of the font. I have a slight eye muscle problem which makes it hard for me to read - especially paperbacks and being able to change font size has really helped me increase my reading.

When I was researching buying the Kindle, I learned that the technology was much more complicated then I imagined - I mean it has to be simpler than a computer right? Wrong. I won't go into details because I can't but I read almost 100 online reviews and got more information than I really needed. At the time, Kindle (exclusive to Amazon) was clearly superior but now the new Sony eReader is vastly improved and good competition to the Kindle.

What I love:

• it's so cool, holding it makes me feel like I'm on Star Trek Voyager
• it's so green and truly the future of books
• 99% of the books are $9.99 or less and they have hundreds for free!
• it is way more comfortable to hold when reading, especially in bed
• books can be ordered and downloaded within a minute from most anywhere (3G spped)
• works with Amazon so books can be ordered online
• you can have a free sample chapter sent to your Kindle for most books
• very easy to read, even at the beach in the bright sun
• can hold hundreds of books in less space then a paperback, great for trips
• a single charge lasts for up to 4 days with wireless on, turn the wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks
• you can highlight any word and instantly get the definition

What I don't love:

• it doesn't use page numbers, instead it tells you what % you have read
• you can't give someone the book when you're done
• no more books to put on shelves

What I'd change:

• the only thing I might change is I would have made it like the Nintendo DS and have it so that there were two pages (like when you read a book) and it could be opened and closed.

I was looking for a replacement video for 3OH!3's Don't Trust Me which I had posted previously but had been removed due to a copyright claim when I came across this funny and apparently popular (over 3 mil views) spoof.

Tru Blood - The Drink

I'm off to buy my Tru Blood drink for tomorrow's season finale. I'm going to try Target and Walmart as suggested by my web search. Otherwise, you have to order it from HBO and won't ship until 9/28 - too late.

Meticulously crafted, the Tru Blood Drink is an exact replica of the bottle design as seen on True Blood. The 14oz glass Tru Blood bottle is stained in a rich red, with raised Tru Blood English lettering and matching Japanese Kanji.

This blood orange flavored soda is slightly tart, lightly sweet and subtly carbonated. Designed to taste great while matching the appearance of Bill’s favorite drink, the drink pours like a regular soda, but with the standing appearance in a glass is stormy and mysterious.
