10 Things That Piss Me Off!!

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. I know where my watch is buddy, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is?

2. Kittens: “Meow, meow, meow.� Oh just shut the fuck up already.

3. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

4. People who feel the need to always bash the US, get over yourselves. Nobody’s perfect.

5. When people say, “It’s always in the last place you look.” Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

6. Guys who try to impress other guys. What the fuck is the point? Even if you succeed in impressing me, which you probably won’t, I’m still not going to blow you.

7. The radio ad: “Hi, I’m Jeff Healey from the Jeff Healey Band. Don’t drink and drive. I don’t.” Well, I hope you don’t drive sober either Mr. Healey. You’re blind for Christ’s sake!

8. People who ask, “Can I ask you a question?” Didn’t really give me a choice, did ya there buddy?

9. When something is “new and improved.” Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

10. When a cop pulls you over and asks, “Do you know how fast you were going?” You should know asshole, you pulled me over!!!

What I’m Watching

Well back in October I wrote a what’s hot and what’s not list about tv shows for the season. Now that the season is winding down I’m going to update my list a little bit.

Here are my lists of what’s hot and what’s not …

What’s Hot
Third Watch – solid stories and just an overall great show, still.
Las Vegas – great show and has progressed nicely for its first season
ER- Still great
That ’70′s Show – One of the best shows ever
Everwood – Great show, no really, it is
Sopranos – HBO, Simply the Best!
Deadwoord – Another great show from HBO!
Navy NCIS – I actually like this one better than JAG
The OC – Yes, I watch the OC. I just can’t help myself.
My Restaurant Rules – It’s an Australian show that I love, only way you can see it in the US is by downloading the episodes off of Bit Torrent.

What’s Not So Hot
The West Wing – zzzzzz, so bad that I stopped watching it
24 – I lost interest in December and stopped watching it. I don’t miss it one bit.
JAG – I don’t know, I still watch it for some reason but it doesn’t have the allure that it used to. This is slowly becoming a show that I can do without.

Stuff I Won’t Admit To Watching (but I do)
Gilmore Girls – umm, my wife makes me watch it

Now here are some shows I miss: Wondefalls, those bastards at FOX took it off the air after only a few weeks. I guess they don’t like shows that are smart and witty, they go for the stupid reality shows instead. Keen Eddie, yes I know it was cancelled in the summer, but Bravo was showing repeats and all the episdoes that FOX never aired. This was definitely one of the best shows ever. Figures it was FOX that cancelled it.
