Discovering Discovery

So I am onto my 3rd hour of Man vs Wild when I should be studding for a map quiz, but at least its a show I can learn something form right? So I see it as a fair trade off and its a quiz not and exam and its the 1st one and have no idea how he does them. But if I ever get lost in so remote wilderness I can survive because of Bear Grylls and the random shit I carry in my bag, on my person or whatever nature can give me. So I have been watching his show fro 3 hours but I have been watching Discovery channel since like 3 so that what a total of 6 hours, I see nothing wrong with it. Its all been educational shows I don't know what the name of the 1st show I was watching but it was how to survive in the wild not as CRAZY and Man vs Wild but same concept but you can have a we bit more than the bare minimum. Next was Cash Cab, I LOVE Cash Cab, for those who don't know what it is, it is a cab in NYC that travels around picking up people and bringing them places. But here's the catch you answer questions as you go and get $$$$ for them but if you get 3 wrong your out. How awesome is that!? I feel I would do well on it I can answer all the question when I watch it and I know who my mobile shout outs would be (G-Pop you better answer the phone when I call!) your allowed one of those, you also can ask someone out on the street to and you get a red light challenge worth 250 big ones if you get it right (if wrong you don't get penalized)! Between these 3 shows that I have watched I have learned allot such as:
How to check if a fruit is edible or will kill me
How to zip line over 150 cavern
What bugs are high in protein
Whats good to stop diarrhea after eating said bugs/fruit
How to clean water with iodine (if you carry that around) or coal (more likely form fire)
How to lite the needed fire
How to scale waterfalls and climb down them using a shoelace
And various other things form Cash Cab that's just cool to know

They are very good shows I definitely recommend watching them you never know when you made need them. I mean I don't plan on going to Montana and getting lost for fun I mean who's that crazy to do that job not me. I think Ill stick to place that have hospital not immune to earthquakes, volcanoes, typhoon, yah know stuff like that. I mean I want to camping like in a tent in a cabin doest count that's crap like in a tent camping but at a place where there is plumbing, some sort of communication to other people even if its via radio, just putting that out there, is that too much to ask for? And every time I have been to NYC, yes it was only twice I didn't find the Cash Cab, this saddened me. My mom and I would have rocked it and we could have split the money, what a bummer. But because of these shows and the common sense that I have I feel I could survive if God forbid (knock on wood) I had too or answer some crazy question that are thrown at me.

Here a clip of Man vs. Wild but warning he eats a huge grub so if squeamish do not watch

Nothing Much Here

Well Winter Break is over and I am back to class UGH. I was perfectly content with waking up going to the gym, coming home, getting ready for work, than working. I didn't do much really which kinda sucked but saved me money so I'm cool with that. But I did go see the Harry Potter Exhibit twice and it was amazing each time I saw it even if it was crowded. I saw the end of David Tennant as Doctor Who which was no fun but it had to happen (see prior post), which lead me to join Netflix and watch all the Doctor Who episodes in a matter of 3 day, yes I am proud I have seen every episode. I also watched every possible episode of Tudors I could because I love Henry VIII and why not I had the time. Just last week I saw Eddie Izzard whom I love and adore. He is definitely my favorite comic and a very good looking man even in "girl mode" if I can say so. As of now I am watching "24" Keifer Sutherland is pretty badass in even for an older man and eating ice cream while it is miserable out. So miserables I had to help push my dads car into the garage cause our driveway sucks and so do his tires

This is a clip of Eddie Izzard that I love about British vs American movies, babys on spokes and so on

The End of an David Tennant Era

Well I can officially say it is the end of a decade, why? Because David Tennant is ending his reign as the BEST DOCTOR WHO EVER!! His last special before the Doctor regenerates into some new guy that is not nearly as handsome as David. I mean Ill give him a chance as the Doctor but it will never be the same. There was just something about David I can out my finger on it but if I could o0o the things I would do with that man. Luckily I was able to get a cardboard cut out of him for my birthday before they were all gone or didn't make them anymore. I have placed him behind my head board in by bedroom so I can stare at him before I fall asleep. I can not say that I have seen every single episode that he was in, we only stared watching it because Catherine Tate was on it. That's when our obsession began and we fell in love. He has been in other things like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, so I still have that to watch and see him in. As well as various You Tube clips and reruns of course that I will DVR and save forever. But 2010 is a sad year no more David Tennant Doctor Who but lets hope the rest of the year looks up!!!

The video below is him on Comic Relief with Catherine Tate, spoofin him as the Doctor.





And here is a look at the new Doctor, it looks good but he has big shoes to fill. I just hope he is as good as David, I know he will being something new into the show but I like the old better, hahaha, I believe most of us do. Well here is a video who he is and a look into what he brings, cheers!

Whats been going on lately is .........

Well it has been awhile since I have last posted on here, frankly it's because I either forget the password or I am too lazy to type anything up after I do any of my homework. I also have a twitter (follow me) which I use and it seems ti get the message across just fine. I love twitter can I tell you, it's easy, fast and makes stalking people so much easier if I may say. All of mine tend to be about random things that come into my head. Either about school, work, life or just stuff I feel you need to know about now.

One of the topics I happen to twitter about the other day was for instance I was loading our fire place with wood after starting it form nothing I mean nothing but a few warm coals. So I go outside after bundling up, I grab the cart to fill, the wood looks all fuzzy with the frost on it, kinda pretty. And of course I forget gloves and quickly grab the wood and throw it into the cart making all sorts of noise. What do I care if people are sleeping its 8 in the morning on a Wednesday if your not up well then you are now. So I finished and went back inside. Fortunately for me I don't have to cut any of it, so I grab some and bring it into the revived fire. Well before I could load the darn thing all the wood is jumping out of my arms because it's so frost bitten that it wants to be warmed up too.

And one more thing I went to open the cat food before they go crazy and gnaw off my leg, I open the bag and there is a surprise inside!? No cool, I don't even get those anymore in my cereal boxes, I just get whatever it is that is suppose to be in the box. No a day if there is a prize to be received, I have to collect so many things form each box, mail it in and a million weeks later you receive the piece of junk in the mail. I'm surprised they don't make you do a jig as well to get it. Though one time I did get a sweet Star Trek Flash Light thing form one and I didn't have to do any of that. But that is besides the point by the time you do all they have asked for you, you have sent more that the thing is actually worth. What has this world come to that my cats get a surprise inside and I don't!?, they would appreciate it, what do they care though they are just hungry. I would love every now and then to get it would change things up a bit and brighten my day

My Mom Rocks!!!

So my mom is better than yours and it’s true, I’m sorry but it’s true. Does your mom take you to concerts and really awesome place and do really awesome things, well mine does. She may not cook, clean or do much yard work but she does fun stuff to make up for it. Like she has taken me most all of the concerts I have been to or has paid for the ones she didn’t go to. Well this time around she has a few more notches she can add to her belt, like she is taking my sister and myself to see Eddie Izzard a man whom I love, though he maybe a tranny I still love him. It is an early Christmas present though we won’t see him till January it is just that we found out before Christmas which I am so fine with. That is only because when I saw he was in Boston I called her immediately and said get some please it can so be a Christmas gift. Now if I met him it be the icing on the cake and I would probably die or cry.

The next thing she has planned is a quick and by quick I mean 2 days in NYC, but I’m fine with that we did it once before and I don’t mind doing it again. The only reason we have this planned is because on the 26th of September, there is this free museum day we can go to most of them for free, and she wanted to do the Intrepid! I am the only one who is really excited for this because I am a history major/buff and will never turn down the chance to learn something new on any given day. So I will give up sleep to get up extra early and drive the 5 hours to see this epic ship. My sister was going to go but she has a dance instead so it will be another mom and me trip and I am fine with that. It’s NYC who would turn that down but she is more into the school spirit than I am so it’s ok. She even got me out of work for that weekend, how awesome is she, like SUPER NOVA AWESOME!


If that isn’t enough she was mentioned in a magazine today, OMG can’t say you do that on a daily basis. And it was in one of her favorite magazines too, Q Magazine, it’s a British music magazine so she will be known globally not just in the UK. Can you say your mom did that and a news paper doesn’t count, those are mainly localized areas or national not all across the world! The article she was mentioned in was about Ant and Dec to “presenters” aka comedians and there was a Q & A section where people from twitter were able to tweet their questions to them and hope they were picked. Well you guessed she was picked, when she was reading them allowed we saw oo0o they are form MA sweet and once we saw her name we flipped. Our mom is like a mini celebrity, she has met Robbie Williams and we have the proof to show it and now this SWEET. Those are just a few reasons why my mom is better than yours, I can’t help that she can’t control her awesomeness, and she was just born that way. Maybe and I mean maybe if your luck to ever meet her she will allow you into her presences.

freedom, forks and pickles


As we all know 8 yrs ago today many lives were lost both young and old. No one has the right to take an innocent life and use it to make a statement just because you don't like the way we as a nation run things. We can all remember where we were on that horrible day and how we went from and everyday moment to one that will never be forgotten by anyone you ask. Regardless if you agree with the war, disagree with the politics or believe in the same God, we need to remember those who were lost, and thank those who are fighting to keep our way of life from being taken away.

On a lighter note I would just like to say that today I notice that I like to eat my pickles with a fork. I don't eat all pickles with a fork, if they are on a burger I just eat them. or if they are in relish form I avoid them. I enjoy putting them on a good corn beef sandwich, with mustard and cheese on a toasted bread (not warm mom). Pickles are one of those things that when you have AWESOME! but when we don't I don't feel like I'm missing out. Like I tell my mom you buy it or make it I'll eat it.

A night at the Circus with Britney

Last night myself, and my sister went to the Britney Spears concert. This was my second time seeing her on same tour and a first of my sister. Since it was the final act of the Circus I figure I would make it a birthday present for my sister and take her. Though I ruined it by tell her she was going after I bought the tickets. The whole day began with me having to work and Em getting hair cut. I rushed home to change so we could catch the next train there, cause I didn’t not want to drive in because Ted Kennedy decided to die so traffic would have been crazy for people want to see Obama giving his Eulogy. Once we were in South station we had to get to North station which would have been very easy if one of the frigging train had not gone out of service, but after we rerouted ourselves we ended up were we wanted to be. Next was to wait, it wasn’t that bad only because we were at the head of the line and were able to beat the whole crowd to get our memorabilia. I got 2 shirts, one says "ITS BRITNEY BITCH" and the other has a photo of her form the tour, with all the tour dates on the back. I could not decide between which one I wanted so I got both, I had the money and budgeted it out, so why not.


After we got our Britney stuff, we headed off to our nose bleeder sets, BAL 327, row 9, seats 1 and 2. Once we were told that we were going in the right direction, as we head up to our seats a man comes up to us and asked us how many people were in our party, I replied 2. He gave us 2 new tickets that were way better seating, I was expecting him to ask for money (because at another concert I had to pay a $10 difference) nope he gave them to us and said enjoy the show. We left and asked the man outside the door way where to go, he asked which ticket to go by, and we said the yellow ones begin told they were a better seat. From there he directed us to take the elevator and to go to level 5, so they were legit. As we were headed to our new seats we encountered other people who got up graded tickets as well. When we got to our new seats omg!!! Way better view and better seats themselves not like we sat down. Where we were relocated was Club Section 113 aka right befor the box seats!!


Once the show started Kristina DeBarge took stage, she only sang 2 songs but they were good and that girl can belt it. Next up was ONECALL, a boy band not quite what I thinking but they were alight, Jordin Sparks she was really good. She won American Idol a few years back, I never watched but she won and I can see why. But when Britney took stage it was awesome, she had circus performer’s before hand and Perez Hilton did a pre-recorded opening right before as she dropped in from the ceiling to kick off the show. She started with the song Circus and kept us on our feet the whole time. She sang a total of 20 songs, with costume changes and videos to keep us entertained when she went for a quick change. For her encore she sang Womanizer dressed as a cop. And just the same as I saw her before it was fantastic. I have to say the second was the best, she had tightened her dance moves and the costumes were way better and the view topped it. In all when she tours again I’ll be there in a heartbeat. The only bad thing I have to say was it was just a tad bit chilly in there, but all in all it was a good show and she kept us entertained.


For some videos I took at her concert go to my YouTube channel and enjoy. I also have other concert videos form others I have been too. http://www.youtube.com/user/spazlady007
