Random & Not So Random

Happy...Tuesday?

Oy! Well at least I'm here and it's St. Patrick's Day!



I'm kind of tired today, slept like CRAP but it's not Monday and that's a bonus so this blog post will be a combination of many things oh so random and mostly related to each other because Spring is almost here and that brings my attention to a varied combination of things like last night and the insane Monday programming block that I had to wade through.

Bates Motel is back and getting so very disturbing not only because of Norman's character but because Ryan Hurst (SOA) has hit the show and he's pretty creepy. Almost as creepy as Brat Pitt's character in Kalifornia but not quite as murderous...that I know of anyway. Norma Bates is always my favourite to watch though.

The Following has caught me and even without Joe, the show still has me hooked if not for the story it's the music that draws me in and thanks to Blondunicorn showing me the Shazam music app, I can find out who sings what very quickly. In this episode A Drowning by  Whoever thought up that put them in the box story line had my disturbed meter piqued!

Gotham...is repeating...so...you suck.

The Returned this one I tried to watch previously and as the trailer for the show never told you it was in French and subtitled and I didn't want to have to read my show every week, but now there is an English version and that has me caught very well. It's also disturbing...it should be called Disturbing TV Monday because everyone is crazy.

I also heard this morning that The Walking Dead Companion series is going to be filmed in Vancouver!!!! There might be stalking in order. It comes out in the summer to bridge the gap between the end of TWD season 5 and 6. Now spin offs don't always do well but we have seen many that have as long as they don't go too far but I'm very interested to see where this goes. I wonder if Chris Hardwick will have an after show for this one too?

Fan Expo is coming in a few weeks and I'm very excited for that! I'm not eve sure who's going to be there yet but I'm going and if I see a guy dressed as Renly Baratheon then I know it's the SHAW cable guy that I talked to on the phone about Fan Expo last year in a random conversation while he waited for his screen to load and help me with whatever it was I called for.

I do have to  mention that on Friday night I had to try the Crown Royal Apple Whiskey and it was very good. Smells like Green Apple Jolly Ranchers but tastes like apple pie not unlike the CR Maple Syrup flavoured whiskey that smells like maple goodness but tastes like pancakes in your mouth. You know if they can bacon infuse vodka can they bacon infuse the Maple Whiskey? that would be the breakfast of whiskey champions!

It's time to get out and about people! I see people already taking pictures of cherry blossoms and planning weekend camping trips. Spring cleaning and purging begins! Tourists have already started to arrive in the city, with rolling luggage...ugh, and a Husky that was found with gravel in it's stomach and so thin that it was all bones found a home and is fatter...much, much fatter. makes me smile.

Tomorrow is Weird News Wednesday and of all of the weird stuff I see there will be something even weirder that someone will send me. I'm a little scared because it's been awhile since I could focus on the weird shit so be prepared!

Ok guys go have a wonderful day and a great week!

See ya

Heartbroken & Various Other Feelings

Hi Lovelies,

This is not some devastating romantic issue unless you count my love of The Walking Dead as a relationship of epic proportions...if you do then you'll need to know that AMC ripped our hearts out last night and it has cast an overshadow on my day that's one of sadness.

You know you're really into a show when you have residual feelings left behind no matter what they are!

I thought  Hershel was bad and even Lori was hard to stomach from a mom's point of view but last night I cried and I mean actually cried...tears...and I don't cry for stuff like that ( unless you include the end of Terminator 2 when I balled like a baby ) and last night was tough. Watching the interview on The Talking Dead afterwards was just as awful especially the In Memorial portion of the show that says goodbye to beloved characters, walkers and bad guys alike that die on the show.

It's tough not to give you spoilers for those that haven't watched it yet but really, every social media outlet exploded last night in shock and Twitter was so crazy! I have to say that as a Fall finale I feel like I might have to wear black until February and come that time the wound will be ripped open all over again. Now with all of our favourite shows heading off on a break that leaves time to catch up on other shows that have been neglected or to prepare ourselves with the return of some in the new year like... Suits and Black Sails I saw repeated ads for Better Call Saul and as a Spin off of Breaking Bad I'll have to check it out and Justified will be back too. As the first 3 month block starts for the year.

Now another show that is going to tug on the heart strings is Sons Of Anarchy with only 2 episodes left of the show it's going to be hard but hopefully not crying hard, I can't do that again...geez...writing, acting and TV have come a long way haven't they?

So besides my obvious devastation the weekend was a blur and that must have been because of the snow which caused accidents EVERYWHERE! There were two between where we were shopping that we got caught in and a third that was cleared just before we made it home. This is what I woke up to and it wasn't even that bad, you...know because I was inside.

Ok guys it's time to go about our days in the best Monday fashion that we can and I hope there is plenty of laughter and interesting things. I'm going to count the days until Touring Tony shows up. 

What's Touring Tony you ask?

I have no idea but when he gets here I'll let you know!

Have a great week!

See Ya

Gasp! Awwww! RUN...And Fall Down!

Hi Lovelies!

OK for those of you that watch...
American Horror Story Freakshow
The Walking Dead
Sons Of Anarchy



If you have not watched the newest episodes then don't read any further!

With Thanksgiving behind us now up here the Fall has really set in. The changing of the leaves, the wet, windy weather forcing us inside into the comfort zone where we watch an MC let loose, Zombies decay in there quest for flesh and OF COURSE psychotic killer clowns that kidnap stupid people that don't know when to RUN...AWAY...just to fall down and get captured (because that's typical ) Why does the bad guy NEVER fall down in the chase? Is it because they're more focused on the target? Because the target is not as focused on getting away as they should be?

Anyway let's begin this week in review..sort of...

Sons Of Anarchy - That show makes keeps me grounded out of all three and not only because the other two are about zombies and UGH...clowns. There is a distinct feel of realism and the connecting of characters for me so at the end when Juice is ready to shoot Gemma I did what I normally do and screamed at my TV because...dare I say it...I Like Gemma! I mean come on, who wouldn't want a mom that would take people out to protect her own. Yes her morals are questionable but wouldn't you rather have her on your side? I'm glad Chibs is getting some action finally and the Tig/Venus connection is awesome and had me howling with laughter and Unser looks like he'll never die.

Still I hate when it ends each week then I'm counting the episodes until it's gone...forever...

AHSF - Since there has only been 1 episode I'm still trying to grasp how this season will do compared to the other past seasons. Seeing as we've already seen Murderous Clown Guy hovering about stealing what looks like a family. The creepy smile on his stupid clown face meant nothing as dumb girl had a conversation with him before he stabbed her date to death in front of her repeatedly and then commenced the running, falling and getting caught thing.

1) You're in a field...take your shoes off, use them as a weapon if you have to and run.
2) If said Clown is filthy, covered in grime and looks like he has someone else's skin on his head I would call that a red flag.
3) If you wake up and clown guy seems like he's having way too much fun murdering your date another red flag.

I have to say that the smallest woman in the world is the cutest thing EVER and she made up for the She must hate that. I can't help it though every time I see her I can't help but say Awwww... and the fact that I can only understand about every third word she says because of the pitch of her voice as well as her accent doesn't matter because she is the cutest thing. The show keeps me intrigued though and I must say that the Candy Striper chick must have wished she never went into the tent that day. Nothing will ever be the same for her but...do you blame her?

They have been renewed for a 5th season after the premier of the 4th! They can go anywhere with this show!

The Walking Dead - OMG OMG OMG the most anticipated premier for me.

1) It's the only one of the 3 that picked up from right where it left off even though Carl grows half a foot each season.
2) The gore of it all is a makeup artists dream.

I was shocked that Terminus got leveled so soon and after the way it started with my boys about to be bled out I'm glad that Super Carol showed up! I said to Blondunicorn that as far as kick ass women go Carol is second after Sarah Connor in my book. The shift in Rick though over the past couple of seasons I think has been more traumatic then anyone else's. You could see it happening and not like in the season finale when Carl was about to get raped and it's like you saw the switch get flipped in his eyes. You could see the panic surge in Glen as one by one the "cattle" got knocked off. That fight or flight mode was most definitely flight for Glen. The Darryl and Carol reunion was awesome!!!!!! Second only to the reunion of father, brother and lil Ass-kicker which almost made me cry...ALMOST. It was well worth the wait...

Eugene...you're useless and your mumbo jumbo sucked "fire with fire" but I like to laugh at your mullet.

but...still...

Where's Beth???

Congrats to The Walking Dead and The Talking Dead for breaking premier records!

Thank goodness Game Of Thrones isn't on at this time of the year, I wouldn't be able to contain myself.


Ok I'm done for now! Halloween approaches and a parade of costumes to follow!

Have a great week!

See Ya
