Project Runway, the latest episode.

Nina Garcia is a flinty bitchy cow.

Jack should not have had to leave.

Chris’ outfit was way worse than Steven’s.

The only reason they keep Ricky on is because he cries all the time and they need the drama. Otherwise, he should have hit the road 2 challenges ago.

How long do they make the poor dears wait before they tell them what each new challenge or suprise is? Because I am sick of hearing from the contestants “I wonder what it is ?”

It is getting OLD.

Also are the editors raping the cute factor a little bit by repeating on this newest show Christian’s catty comment (The judges might die over it or they might die because of it) the same comment he made on last weeks show–or is he just saying it again? Mystery!

If it is free they will come

We’ve had this massive 56 inch TV squatting in our horrible back room for over a year. Why the hell we have it in the 1st place is because it was free. A good friend of ours is in the moving business and a customer didn’t want it anymore.My boyfriend was a mover when I met him,along with most of his friends and lets just say there was a ton of second hand furniture floating about.I know from my own past moves that one sheds a lot of personal belongings during any move.

Back to the TV as big as a house. So we lugged it up the stairs,plugged it in and it worked. Bonus. But it was way too much TV for us. It dwarfed our living room space. It loomed.So we shoved it in the horrible back room and used the top as a shelf.

My success with getting a good TV on Craigslist inspired me to finally take some snaps of the monster and post an ad in the free section.Free as in no money just come and get it. Free as in if I were a fool I’d pay you to come take it.

I got responses 10 minutes after I published the ad which was not sugar coated at all. I said it wasn’t perfect, huge, needed a van to transport it and needed more than one person to come get it.When I checked my email today there were 12 more emails asking about it.

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. How does one decide this? I will give it to the 1st guy who wrote. But if he doesn’t like it when he sees it I will probably give it to the charity that wrote to me today.

Watch Movies,TV Online Free

I’m subscribed to the makeuseof.com newsletter which keeps me up to date on the most useful and free web applications,tools,and tricks you can find online. I subscribed for the free web applications but of course what’s really got me excited(I’m greedy and cheap) were the links makeuseof.com gave me to watch movies and tv shows.

I realize that it isn’t exactly legal…And that some folks would consider this stealing. But the truth is that out of the 7 links provided to view TV and movies off of some Web sites, only one had actual watchable-quality content.

Case in point Gray’s Anatomy on TV Links. See the impressive amount of shows? All 3 seasons(seemingly). Well, 99% of the shows I tried to watch either didn’t load at all or were way too pixelated to watch or just stopped playing after 10 minutes or so.Free sure doesn’t mean quality. I get it. But one site delivered. Videohybrid has TV shows but not that many episodes to watch.In fact only had 1 episode of GA. But the one they had was excellent quality.

I started to watch the film Captivity but found it dull and then saw 28 Weeks Later available on the list! watch it here.It gets a bit fuzzy during some parts but it is still highly watchable.

But be warned: the films they have listed that are still in theaters are the kind that have been camcorded inside the theater. Those may suck. But at least you won’t buy the bootleg DVD for 5 dollars,take it home all jazzed to watch this great new movie only to find that you can’t see the screen because it’s all black or the recorder has gotten a side seat so you see the movie at a skewed angle. And then to make it even better someone gets up right in front of the camera and blocks the screen! Save your 5 bucks.

I’ve succumbed to a TV show, part two,Seasons 1 and 2

I was able to track down all the DVD s from Blockbuster and watched the 1st and 2cnd season of Grey’s Anatomy.I’m so out of it that I thought that was it.Turns out there is another season,the 3rd season…but it isn’t out to rent yet. I survived the ribbing I got for wanting to watch my stories (it is a soap, you know) not sure how gracefully my roommates will take another DVD marathon. Although I did try to watch while they were asleep, I was caught a few times by the baseball fiend.

So how was it? Well, it’s a weepy drama set in a hospital. Almost every patient admitted almost dies (drama) or if they survive – they or their family invariably have some story to tell or a solemn speech to make that teaches our interns a valuable Life Lesson(learning). The interns are close(hugging) even though from the beginning we were told they would by vying for one favored position, etc.

What did I like? I love Sandra Oh from way back,Double Happiness,Last Night and Sideways in which she was brilliant. I don’t really like Isiah Washington and their relationship was only made palatable to me because of Sandra Oh. George O’Malley bugs the hell out of me.Whatsit ? T.R. Night? From reading Grey’s Anatomy fan blogs I gathered that Washington called Night a gay slur and I guess outed him so Washington was fired…ohhhh.

I will spare you my run-down of rest of the cast and how I feel about their characters or acting styles.

The love stuff. There is a lot of love stuff. It’s a soap. Love stuff is the glue of any soap. I have no time for George or Callie.Meredith and Derek end season 2 with a bang and thank God. That gets rid of the preternaturally insipid,no chin having Chris O’ Donnell vet character… But not for one second did I believe that Meredith’s boyfriend’s wife coming back on the scene was anything other than a plot device so that we’d all be roiling with anticipation for their inevitable getting back together.

Duh.

There are the cameos by famous actors. Christina Ricci,Brooke Smith and Rosanna Arquette were the most memorable. Rosanna’s was ridiculously silly but memorable.

What Grey’s has that kept me watching was a lot of on screen chemistry and over the top dramatic plot twists.An unexploded artillery shell in a man’s chest and he doesn’t die but the shell does explode once it is out of his body… A rogue shooter who returns to finish the job and of course shoots Dr.Burke(Isiah Washington) on his way back to perform a heart transplant.

Sometimes the show made me cringe when it got too mushy or too learny-huggy but my credibility is shot because I did watch about 37 episodes in one week. I can’t really come off as someone who can take it or leave it at this point.

One last thing. Ellen Pompeo (Meredith) is very, very thin. During any scene that called for her to eat something it always looked like she was not really eating.She does not convince as an eater of food.
