The West Wing - Season 1

My friends been singing the praises of The West Wing for over a month now. "the goddess that is Allison Janney' and i have ignored and quashed all of their praises, as i remember when the show was on TV, that it didn't take my fancy. But i would like to think that I've grown as a person since then.

This afternoon i took the plunge and have taken the challenge to watch the entire first season in 1 week. Yes starting today i have 7 days to watch 22 epsiodes. Thats an average of 3.14 a day...can i do it? well its not like i haven't done it before.

OK, so I'm 17min into the first episode, and haha Allison Janney has fallen off a treadmill. And some random reporter that is having a relationship with a Senator, is Chad Michael Murray's Mum in OTH, and there are various people that have had better roles in new series. Looks like this launched some careers. Good on it.

Nickelback - Dark Horse

The latest album from the Canadian band, and i for 1 LOVE it.

So while everything that i have read says that the album was to be released on the 18th November. I walked into my local BigW and there it was, in all its glory, and im pretty sure that it was on the top shelf in prime position.

I all but ran to the shelf and clutched my very own copy of the new album. It was mine, and I'm sure that i looked like a crazy person. Shame. but i dont care, i had my new album. But now im thinking back, why did i stay so long in Big W? What did i buy? a book and the album. HAH!

Its pretty heave rock - compared to their last one. The new album brings influence from their first few albums that were very rock centric.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that this was the best album, but its pretty sweet, and I'm sure to be listening to it for a while.

Single Ladies (Put your hands up) - Beyonce

Fresh from her new album, Beyonce had the hit 'If I were a boy' it didnt interest me that much, but then they released this new song "Single Ladies" and I like it. And i'm pretty sure that the DJ on Nova (is that what you call them?) likes it too.

Single Ladies (Put your hands up)

I can't embed it, cause youtube is being a mole, but im really liking the upbeat tempo of it.

Enjoy!

Lemon Detox

My father just started on the detox today, and my brother will be starting on the detox on Friday.

While i love and wish the best for them, i don't think they are doing it for the right reasons, i honestly think its more of a pissing contest between my brother and my father.

"Oh, i'm going to do the 14day one. your only going to do the relaxed one."

seriously.



The Lemon Detox site could use some work, but aside from that, it really just seems something of a Fad, and a waste of time and money for something that *might* work. Plus its a total gimmick that they are using Beyonce, and Tania Zaetta on the site in Bikini's...BECAUSE THEY WERE TOTALLY FAT BEFORE!!!!



While yes, there has to be obvious health benefits to losing weight and cleansing the body of shit, but at what cost? your only eating lemon, tree sap and pepper. with some hot water thrown in there for good measure.

The book they give you, its telling you all these rules and stuff like 'drink warm fluids' cause its better for your metabolism. That may be so...but you get tools that on a day you could probably have a fan on, they are dressed in a tracksuit and in bed under the covers...
