It Was Like A Bad Dream.

Oh Consistency...

So my extreme laziness occasionally trumps my love of rambling...but I'm here.

So Halloween came and went. Me and THE BF were so pumped. Like, we bought costumes and everything (we are basically attached at the hip...can't help it, he's just so fun to be around most of the time) from a store with a NO REFUND policy.  Then the mother-freaking snow storm hit. And when I say storm, I mean STORM. There was definitely an accumulation of at least 6 inches. But anyway, we (along with my cousin) had planned on bar hopping in costume, but by the time I left my job I was NOT feeling the idea and neither was my cousin. So we decided to stay in (and stay warm) and watch some scary movies and get a little twisted...in costume of course (I, Miss Krueger. He, a Lady Bug. Yes. Imagine a fit, buff guy in a tutu dress with antennas, wings, and red knee high tights. RIGHT. Adorable and funny though).  Those are my favorite kind of nights anyway. I like staying in and cuddling up with a good movie and some alcohol (oh yes, there must be alcohol to keep you warm and fuzzy).

So that was that, but please believe that I will be wearing that $55 costume AGAIN next year...

Anywho.

I have been SLACKING something serious on watching my weekly sitcoms. I was looking forward to a few new and returning shows but I have not been as faithful to them as I should.

First, I kind of gave up on Reed Between The Lines on BET. I admire that they are portraying positive images of the black family, I really do. And goodness knows that I love a warm Cosby-esque feel, but this show is just NOT DOING IT FOR ME. Tracy Ellis Ross is gorgeous and funny (I guess?). Malcolm Jamal Warner is...Malcolm Jamal Warner (good actor and good looking with a warm quality to him). And those kids? A little annoying (the preteens) but adorable (the youngest daughter). In general, this show serves its purpose. I happened to catch tonight's episodes. Not bad. Not great. Meh. I've been opting to watch Hardcore Pawn on TruTV instead (also airs Tuesday nights at 10pm). The ratchetness that walks into that pawnshop is...sad and hilarious at the same time. Plus, the father (Les) is undeniably a great businessman and his family is fun to watch.

Next, How I Met Your Mother.  Oh, Jason Segel how I have failed thee. Now, I love me some Jason Segel (and Neil Patrick Harris), but I have been skipping out on HIMYM.  I think I may have missed the last two episodes. This could be due to the fact that I missed all of last season (but I plan on buying Season 6 on DVD...more like putting it on my XMas list for SOMEONE ELSE to get me...but either way I plan on getting it) and I am a bit lost. I know Lily is pregnant, Barney has a girlfriend, and Robin is dating her anger management therapist (who happens to be played by the guy who plays Kumar)...but besides that, I am out in space. I can't help it. I am distracted by the tomfoolery that is Basketball Wives LA which airs Monday nights at 8pm as well (dumb and sad as hell but you just CANNOT look away).

Bottom Line: I promise I will do better, Jason. And I will go see your Muppet Movie. Promise.

NOW. Here is what I DO watch regularly...

American Horror Story. Ok, I usually hate gore and I hate horror but I like this show. There is something about it that just makes me want to watch it every week. At the end of each episode (just when I start to think I am understanding what the hell is going on) there is a crazy cliffhanger and I know I need to tune in the following week. Like...you had sex with a man in a FULL LEATHER BODYSUIT (who never spoke but you thought it was your husband) and got pregnant, you let random ass people up in your home (never background checking them), your house is on a MURDER TOUR, three people tried to kill you and your daughter to reenact a murder that took place in your house...liiiiiiiiike, what the funky f%@?  And you are STILL THERE. why?  

I will be watching tonight after I get out of work.

Misadventure of Awkward Black Girl. This is a web series created by Issa Rae about (dun dun dun!) a black girl who finds herself in some really uncomfortable and awkward ass situations. I just love this show because I've been there. I'm THERE like almost everyday.  Like in the first episode there is a scene where the main character (Jay) is in her car blasting a loud ass ignorant ass rap song (Booty Shawts, I think). That is SO ME in my car blasting some Waka Flocka (look ma, NO HANDS) or Three Six Mafia. Also, she's really witty and smart but she works at a wack ass job with a pain in the ass supervisor. Ugh, I can't even explain anymore. It's just sooooooo good. I came upon the show randomly over the summer. Issa Rae is such a talent. I love it.

Hmmm....goodness, I have so much a I could go on and on about. But I shall rest now. Until next time. I bid you Adieu.
