The TV Diary: Wednesday

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday…not my favorite day of the week.  Wednesday’s this semester are my longest day of class and I have no break in between my classes.  In addition to that, there really aren’t that many tv shows that I look forward to.  With that said, I did get a good couple of hours in this Wednesday.

Real World: 10-11

Real World Repeat of episode as I worked on my computer: 11-11:15

The TV Diary: Tuesday

Today I had three classes, but when I got back around 8:30 it was both dinner time and TV time.  Tonight’s viewing was centered around the season finale of the Real Housewives of Orange County, it did not disappoint.

Jeopardy: 8:40-9:10, I had a strong outing, I think I can attribute that to the Grilled Cheese and Pastrami Sandwich I made along with the cup of chili.  Mmmm good….

Real Housewives of Orange County Re-Run from last week: 9:10-9:40, I had this on in the background as I checked e-mails and did a little work.  Nothing too exciting.

Real Housewives Season Finals: 10-11, It was great, love this show…

Real Housewives of New York Season Premiere: 11-11:30, I watched the first half an hour, I’ll watch the last half hour tomorrow at some point.

The TV Diary: Monday

Here it is ladies and gentlemen, how much TV do I truly watch in a week.  Reminder I do not have class on Monday or Friday, here’s a look at day #1:

Monday:

Typically Monday is a big night for me with GG, 24, The City…well, for some reason it was the second week in a row in which Gossip Girl was a rerun, so that cut an hour out, but I made up for that earlier in the day, here’s a look:

James Bond in Thunderball : 4-6:15

NCAA Basketball: Texas/Texas A&M 6:16-6:55  (Watched this while editing photos)

No Reservations with Anthony B 7-7:20  (While eating dinner)

Jeopardy: 7:30-7:45  

Not much tv between 7:45-9

24: 9-10   

The City: 10-10:30  Olivia used the word toodles, I love the word toodles = Olivia: awesome

Erin broke up with her boyfriend but I feel he was smart, she was wearing this dumbass leigh thing on her head, so  stupid.  Great show tonight

Saying it Ain’t So Lubo…

Sad  news for those Edmonton Oiler fans out there, defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky will have season-ending shoulder surgery this week after hurting his shoulder against the Blackhawks.  Good old Lubo had 8 goals and 23 points in 50 games.  

Last year he baked cookies and asked for a vote,

Sadly he didn’t make it and the Kings shipped him away without letting me write him a note.

He’s a great baker and a better man at the blue line.

Hockey fans are awesome…just looks at those signs!

GET BETTER LUBO!!!

SI and the WTA: Maria Kirilenko

KIRILENKO!?! I have found nothing that links Maria to Andre, but I nonetheless am not going to have problems not thinking of her every time I watch the Jazz play from here on out.  On the court Maria has been ranked as high as 18^th in the world.  Her 2009 season did not get off to a great start as she lost to unranked Sara Errani 6-0, 6-4.  She is good friends with Maria Sharapova and they both enjoy high fashion.  I would enjoy a day of tennis and shopping with both Maria’s.  Good luck to Miss Kirilenko and I leave wondering if she’s a fan of Andre…

BEST PICTURE:

OVERALL: 8/10

Job well done for Maria!  My only concern with Maria is the fact that her last name is not Sharapova and  the whole part of her losing pretty badly in the year’s first major.  Nonetheless, her pictures look natural and not too forced.  

SI and the WTA: Daniela Hantuchova

Several years ago I was sitting on the side of an outer court at Wimbledon watching a match involving then 20 year old Daniela Hantuchova.  After she won the match, Daniela walked off the court and walked right past me, to this day I swear she smiled at me.  I became a fan of hers on that very spot and have rooted for her ever since.  When I learned that she was in the magazine this year I was very happy for her.  After having spent the time to look at her pictures, I can say she did a great job and probably did better than a few of the professional models.  

 

BEST PICTURE:

OVERALL: 8.5/10

Daniela’s performance in the magazine is similar to her performance in the Doubles portion of the Aussie Open where she reached the finals with her partner only to lose to the Williams Brothers  Sisters. Very proud of her and I wish her the best of luck for the remainder of the season.

SI and the WTA: Tatiana Golovin

As a general rule of mine, I do not like French people.  With that known, I now have an exception and she just happens to be 21 years old and the #12 ranked player on tour.  To be fair to “Tats” (her nickname) she was actually born in Russia, which makes things a little better.  Tatiana played a very limited 2008 season due to a form of arthritis and her discomfort carried over in a large majority of her pictures.  In the past she dated Arsenal player and no-name Samir Nasri.

BEST PICTURE:

OVERALL: 6.5/10

I came in with high expectations for Tatiana, unfortunately she fell a little short.  She appeared to be uncomfortable in too many pictures and that resulted in a sub-par performance that all too resembled her 2008 tennis season.
