New TV Show
Just because Wilmer Valderrama doesn’t have you on his show doesn’t mean that you can’t share your yo momma jokes with the world. MTV recently launched an online companion to the television show at yomomma.tv that lets you battle other users, upload videos of your best yo momma so thin jokes, and vote on other users jokes. Check it out today both on myspace and on the yo momma website, but watch out for some guy calling himself Jesus on the site – apparently he’s got some world class yo momma jokes just waiting to be used on somebody.

You’re Fired!
Let’s say you’re a CIA agent. You were on a mission when suddenly; you receive a “Burn Notice”. Burn Notice is an official statement by one intelligence agent to another agency that an individual or group is unreliable. You lost all your contacts and networks and have no idea why you were terminated.
Hoping that it could trigger your memory, you tried to remember all the recent events that happened for the past month. There’s that one time when you were working undercover as a college professor to investigate on a current drug deal operation. One of the drug dealers who were also posing as a student recognized you (from your last encounter) and decided to blow your cover. It could also be that time when you tapped a phone conversation of one of the top CIA officials with a well known, highly influential politician as they plot an illegal assignment against the President.
These are just the things that could’ve triggered the termination. Just like Michael Westen, a CIA operative on USA Network’s Burn Notice, he will also have to think about all the things that went wrong on his previous assignments that he had to be fired. This exciting new TV series will start this June 28th and if you want to know more, just visit their site at http://www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice/.
I Will Survive
A new original series, USA Network’s Burn Notice, is going to hit the airwaves this coming June 28th. It’s about Michael Weston, a CIA agent who suddenly got fired without any explanation. He then returns to his hometown, Miami, and started investigating the reason for his termination. He doesn’t have his normal contacts or network resources anymore so by utilizing his Special Ops training, he was able to fund his investigation by helping people that the police can’t or won’t help.
I’m very excited to watch this show. I used to play this what-if game with my friend from High School. We often ask ourselves if we can survive being stranded in an unknown city without money or contacts. I used to think that I could approach any nice looking woman (ladies only!) so she can give me food and let me stay in her house until I can contact my parents. Now that I’m older, I’ll probably use my charm to get a job as a dishwasher or bus-girl (these positions are always open in the movies!) and then get a week’s worth of my salary so I can rent a small room or bed space to spend the night. I can also just hang out on any hotel lobby and just pretend that I’m waiting for someone. However, I need to be wearing something really presentable if not nice to get the job and for the hotel staff to believe my act. That’s why I always believe in dressing up nicely wherever you’re going. You never know when you’re going to need it!
Simple Life
Saw an old episode of The Simple Life last week. Sherwin hates that show because of Paris’ and Nicole’s blatant disregard of other people’s possessions and feelings. I still watch it anyway because it’s fun to see rich people make a fool of themselves. I didn’t catch the title of the episode but it was the one where they went golfing. They were trying to play wives and Paris took the husband’s credit card to buy expensive golf equipment. The pink designer carry bag alone costed about $4500. I wonder if she paid for it after? She’s an heiress and that kind of money won’t even make a dent on her huge trust fund. The ‘husband’, who at first thinks how lucky he is to have Paris doting on him, would probably have a change of heart once he sees his credit card bill.
Hurray for Jimmy
I loved the last episode of One Tree Hill! Lucas finally “opened his eyes” and saw the missing link to Keith’s murder. I can’t wait to watch tomorrow’s episode. I was starting to hate it because of the repetitive apparition or messages from the grave scenes. It turned out that the messages was actually from the diabetic girl who saw what really happened to Keith.
The love triangles, brake-up-to-make-up and catfights are getting old, though. I wish they could find a way to spice it up a bit. I know it’s a teen show but they can definitely do better. Last episode was their senior prom and as expected, Brooke was the crowned prom queen. I don’t remember who the prom king was though because I was so excited on the way the secrets are starting to unravel.
Golden Boy
I was watching a replay episode of the OC the other week and the Cohen’s house reminded me so much of Florida rental vacation homes. The place is huge! Even the “pool house” which has been converted to Ryan’s bedroom is bigger than our house in Sampaloc. Ryan is so lucky he got adopted by the Cohen’s don’t you think? He now has a loving family and a wonderful future to look forward to. They don’t seem to mind that trouble starts wherever he goes. It will never happen in real life, I know! Unless you count Brangelina’s constant need to adopt every unfortunate kid in the whole world.
You Shouldn’t Be Alive
There used to be this show on cable called “Worst Case Scenario”. It showed how to deal with, well, worst case scenarios. Cars falling off cliffs, bear attacks, buildings on fire, burglaries. Oh you know–less than ideal situations.
Now, they’re showing something called “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” over on the Discovery Channel. Being that the Discovery Channel is the default selection on our TV set (along with ESPN, Star Sports, and NatGeo, naturally) whenever my husband is home, I was able to watch an episode one time. A pilot had crashed his plane smack in the middle of a desert and had somehow managed to survive. He went about telling the harrowing tale of his survival as the dramatization was being shown.
In the middle of all this, it suddenly occurred to me, “Why the heck did he not have some sort of survival kit?”. I mean, was bringing survival kits not common practice for people with jobs that required them to sit in a metal bin 10,000 feet above the ground? It could have saved him a ton of trouble, a survival kit would have. Sherwin, not surprisingly, agreed. He’s been a big fan of a “planning-saves-you-the-trouble-of-coping” mindset for the past few months now.
Seriously, though, both shows got me thinking. Sherwin and I promised ourselves a holiday binge once our little girl grows up some more, and we’re both convinced that we need to have even a rudimentary survival kit for those travels.
