Big Brother

Hollie — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:24:49 +0000

This season’s Big Brother show started a few weeks ago and I watched the first couple of shows. Then I got busy and forgot about it for a couple of weeks. Strangely, I didn’t even miss it. I mean, I don’t regret having missed it in favor of the other things I chose to do.

I wonder if this means that I’m sick of these so-called “reality shows”? They are so over produced and orchestrated that I no longer believe they have much to do with reality. And, to be honest, I resent the way Hollywood seems to think that I am stupid enough to believe them.

Up

Watched a funny little animated movie called, “Up.” It was advertised as a kid’s adventure movie. But it was much more than that. It was about an older man wanting to honor his wife’s lifelong wish to travel to a far away place. Very interesting story line and lots of humor, too.

Leon

All my friends are discovering a band called Kings of Leon. But I’ve just discovered a singer named Leon Russell. Where has this man been all my life? He has this wonderful gravelly voice and the lyrics to his songs are incredibly interesting. I really like Leon Russell and can’t wait to hear his live show.

Endless Laundry

Hollie — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:13:17 +0000

Usually I can save up all the dirty clothes and bedding and just spend one night doing laundry. I like to do laundry on Wednesday nights. I can watch a 30 minute situation comedy, and then run down to the washer and dryer on the hour and the half hour before the start of the next show. I don’t miss any of the shows and the washer and dryer are always done with the cycle by the end of the TV show. So that way I am watching what I want and also getting my laundry done. But it is a bad night if I have something come up that prevents me from being home on Wednesday nights. It doesn’t work out the same way on Thursday night – the shows last an hour, not 30 minutes, and messes up my whole routine.

Facebook Games

A couple of months ago I joined Facebook. I know. I’m not exactly an early adopter. I like to take things a little slower and let others pay for the mistakes first.

To be honest, I joined Facebook because “all my friends are doing it” and I was starting to feel left out. I like it OK, although I haven’t learned much from my friends on FB that I don’t hear in person. But the games are pretty fun. They only last a minute or two and they are a great way to take a mind break and then go back to work with a clear head.

Lovin Zac Brown

This guy is my new favorite singer and songwriter. Zac Brown has been working hard on his music career for years and last year he finally started getting some recognition. I hope you’ve heard his big hit song, “Chicken Fried.” It is a great party anthem song and I can’t get enough of it!

The More I Know Men

The more I like dogs.

Take Me to the Ball Game

Hollie — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:49:26 +0000

A good old fashioned baseball game sounds really good about now. Tickets are only $10 for reserved seats, so a family of four can go and buy hot dogs and cokes and stil be well under $100 for the night.

The City has a triple A team called, “The Sounds,” which is a nice tie-in to “Music City.” This team has the really good, young players that have a chance to get drafted up to the major leagues if they do well in this league. The Milwaukee Brewers are keeping the Sounds going as a farm team for their players. So there is a good chance that the player you see at a Sounds game will soon be playing for the Brewers.

All Fools

Hollie — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:39:15 +0000

In today’s world we have all gotten so serious and all the news has been bad for so long, that I think people are losing their sense of humor. But this is when we really need a sense of humor. We need to lighten up and have some fun. It might have to be cheap fun, but we can’t just stop having fun. That’s why I’m glad we had April Fools Day yesterday. It gave us a reason to be silly and have some laughs.
