Hiiiiiiiyaaaahh!

My computer conked out on me last night, well…i say it conked out, it was my own silly fault for deleting an important windows file — eeeeejit. This left me with nothing to do while wide awake at 3am but watch what ever happened to be on TV, and what happened to be on TV? Good old karate kid, hiiiiiiyaaaaah! It inspired me to remember that for months now I have been saying I’ll go take a class in one of the martial arts — it’s something I have always fancied because a) it looks like fun b) I like the discipline aspect and c) it can only aid my weight loss quest (I did manage to resist those chocolates mentioned in my last post, yay, go me!).

If I do ever get myself around to to it, then at least I know where to go for my martial arts equipment . AWMA have the lot, from kids karate uniforms to ninja hoods!

I love this ugly duckling!

I appear to have fallen in love with this TV. My other half thinks it’s the ugliest thing on the planet and says he’ll disown me if I buy it, but I think it’s unique and gorgeous!

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a new TV for a while, the one I have now is perfectly fine and I am loath to buy something unless I actually need it, but it’s a rubbish old plastic silver 15″ crt Bush — it’s so outdated that my 92 year old next door neighbour is cooler than it. But it’s a big expense so as of yesterday I had all but talked myself out of it.

I’d love a new, sleek, modern, better name, bigger one — and now I have seen this one…how am I able to resist it?!

What do you guys thing? Ugly ducking or super unique and sleek?

TV is goooooood

I like watching TV, I’d say about 99% of people on this planet do — but I don’t watch as much as I used to for some reason. I always used to give new shows a go, but now unless I know I am gonna like it I don’t bother.

The only exception to this rule is when I am at the other half’s parents place…they have a 42″ plasma and all the channels imagineable on Sky, I wonder if that could possibly have any thing to do with it? Hmmm. I only have basic freeview at home.

I really should look into getting myself cable or DirecTV or something similar, I am sure I’d enjoy having it and it’d be worth the moolah! There looks to be some pretty good DirectTV offers about at the moment, and you guys know I love a good bargain, right?!

DirecTV here I come. Maybe.

Fall TV

I love this time of year, summer is coming to an end which is great by me because I am one of those bizarre people who dislikes the sun — but most of all, the new TV season begins in America. Although I am from the UK I follow more American and Australian TV than I do my own native shows!

Here’s what I am most excited about, as always. Survivor Gabon and The Amazing Race, undoubtedly my 2 favourite reality shows ever! Survivor is the daddy, and from every thing I have read about the upcoming season it’s going to be a corker…and there’s a British guy this season, I hope he’s not a complete git!

I am also super looking forward to America’s Next Top Model, The Biggest Loser, Chuck, Desperate Housewives, Prison Break, Lost, Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Smallville, Family Guy, Simpsons and American Dad.
