Seriously!?! Saturdays!

Well folks I'm introducing a new feature called "Seriously!?! Saturdays". This will replace the normal "Sick of Them Saturdays" occasionally, but will be along the same lines. With "Sick of them Saturdays" I was mostly blogging about the people or news subjects that I was tired of hearing about that week. Seriously Saturdays will be more about the events that happen in the week that made me say "SERIOUSLY!?!". Hope you all enjoy it! Be sure to let me know what you think!!

1. Charlie Sheen

Seriously Charlie Sheen! You are in trouble AGAIN?! This week you decide to trash a New York City hotel room while naked after getting drunk and high on cocaine while a porn star fears for her life while locking herself in the hotel bathroom. After the police were called he apparently was given the option to go to jail or to the hospital. He chose the hospital (go figure). Seriously NYPD, people are given options on where they want to go after behaving badly? Is this a new thing you're trying? I am sure the doctors and nurses will love it if it is. However I am almost positive it's not unless you are an A list celebrity. Sheen apparently told the police that he had been drinking and doing drugs before his "meltdown" but apparently his publicist had a different view and said that he had "an adverse allergic reaction to medication". Ummm I'm not quite sure for what illness they prescribe cocaine as the "medication" of choice, but I am pretty sure there aren't any. I am also pretty sure those aren't "adverse" reactions to cocaine, but I haven't tried it so I can't swear by it. Although if he is allergic to it, he might not want to do it anymore. Seriously publicist?! Oh and "Two and a Half Men" is a pretty good show and is getting great ratings for CBS, but if one of the stars is getting arrested or hospitalized at least once a season, shouldn't there be some repercussions? Seriously?! Last Christmas he was arrested for domestic violence and now he is hospitalized for using cocaine and behaving horribly and nothing happens? No suspension from work even? Seriously?! You have some very understanding bosses there Mr. Sheen. Seriously!!

2. Lindsay Lohan

Seriously Lindsay Lohan?! You are in the news AGAIN!! Last Friday, Lindsay was ordered by the judge to spend time in rehab until January 3 instead of 6 months in jail like the DA wanted for violating probation. Apparently Lindsay has to go back to court on Feb. 25 and comply with random drug testing and if she violates her probation again she will be going to jail for the mandatory 180 days. Seriously?! I am pretty sure 180 days in the celeb world converts to about 14 days reality. Turns out Lindsay is apparently going broke paying for her rehab. Seriously Lindsay?! Aren't you some sort of big celebrity? You can't afford the $50,000 rehab bill? Seriously?! I mean yea that is the yearly salary of an average Joe, but I am pretty sure you have boots that cost more than that. Seriously! Well it turns out PETA heard about Lindsay's money troubles and agreed to pay up to $20,000 of her rehab bill if she agrees to go vegan for at least a year. If she gives up animal products while in rehab, she would get $10,000 at that time and if she stays vegan until January of 2012, they will give her the other $10,000. I don't think this will happen. She doesn't seem to be able to stay away from the booze and drugs to keep her out of jail so I don't think she will be able to give up the meat and milk either. Allegedly, there is an adult sex site that is also offering her $50,000 for her ummm, "services"? So looks like Ms. Lohan now has some options on how to pay for her rehab time since she is apparently broke now.

So there ya have it folks. The people that just make me literally say to myself "SERIOUSLY" for the week. What events had you baffled this week??

Weekly Song Wednesday!!

As I mentioned yesterday, today's post will have somewhat of a Halloween theme to it. Every Halloween I look forward to hearing this song being played on the radio, or else it just doesn't quite feel like Halloween! This week's song is "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. This of course is not only one of MJ's best and most popular songs, but it also is one of the best music videos of all time. I can't believe this song came out almost 30 years ago and people are still choreographing dances to it!! Actually it's so great that I guess I can believe it. It also has had almost 80 million hits on YouTube (which I thought was a lot until I scrolled down the sidebar and saw that Eminem ft. Rihanna has over 176 million)! Crazy! So click on the link below and enjoy!!

500 Followers!!!!

Well folks I may not have too many comments on my posts lately, but at least I am still gaining followers! Thanks to Debbie who became my 500th follower today!!!! Can't believe I have only had this blog going for less than four months and I already have 500 followers! Thanks everyone!!

YouTube Tuesday!

Well since Halloween is this weekend, I figured I would keep with that theme for today's and tomorrow's posts. That being said, this weeks video is a trailer of a movie that just scares the crap outta me. That movie would be Child's Play! The original one of course. This is the creepiest, ugliest doll ever before he turns evil. Then add the knife to him and Chucky just scares the crap outta me! The first one was by far the scariest, in my opinion once Chucky got married and had a baby it just got stupid. While looking for a clip on YouTube, I did find out that they are remaking the original Child's Play. I am pretty sure I won't be seeing that! Enjoy and let me know what movies scare you the most!!

My 5 Monday!

So before I announce this week's topic, let me admit one thing: I am a fast food junkie! I try not to eat it more than once a week, but sometimes I get the craving and just can't help it. Yes I am aware it is bad for me. Eating bad is probably the worst habit I have though. I don't smoke, I rarely drink, and I have never done any illegal drugs in my life. Therefore, if the occassional cheeseburger is what I crave, I don't see the problem with that :). If I ever eat so much that I can qualify to be on the "Biggest Loser",trust me I will stop cold turkey. However, my Wii fit still tells me that I qualify as "normal" when it comes to BMI, so I don't have to worry just yet. Now that all of that has been said, my topic for this week is:

"My 5 Favorite Fast Food Items"

1. McDonalds Fountain Coke

Let me state one thing right now. I am a Pepsi person. I rarely buy Coke, unless it is a great sale and even then I mostly just buy Cherry Coke. However, McDonalds somehow has the BEST fountain Coke! I don't know what makes theirs so much different than all the others that sell fountain Coke, but trust me it is. I go through periods where I will crave that every day and stop at Mickey D's just for an ice cold Coke. The fact that they are still only $1 is also a huge plus!

2. Qdoba

Okay well I can't narrow this place down to just one item. I LOVE everything I have ever had here. Everything is so fresh and "real" tasting. They also don't skimp on the toppings like Taco Bell does. They may cost more than Taco Bell, but it is very much worth it! I can barely eat at Taco Bell anymore since I started eating Qdoba.

3. Cookie Jar Blizzard from Dairy Queen

Well I don't even want to know how many calories I am eating when I order one of these. I do get a small though! Whoever thought of this concotion is a genius! Oreo cookie pieces, cookie dough, fudge swirl, and twist ice cream! LOVE IT!!!! Order this almost everytime I stop at DQ!

4. McDonald's Chicken McNuggets

Back in the day when I was a kid and used to get the chicken mcnugget happy meals, I used to break them open to see which ones were actually white meat and which ones were the other weird ones with the random parts. Well a few years ago, McDonalds got a clue and started making all of their mcnuggets with just white meat. Now there is no need to look inside them before sticking them in your mouth. Every one is equally delicious!

5. McDonalds Filet O'Fish (tie)

McDonald's has the best fish sandwiches in my opinion. I don't know if its the steamed bun or the cheese, but no other fast food joints fish sandwichs can even come close in my opinion. If I am feeling really bad, I go ahead and spend the extra 30 cents for extra tarter sauce.

5.Subway Club (tie)

Okay yes I know I cheated this week by having six, but I just remembered the Subway Club after typing up the filet o'fish. I used to work at Subway and would eat there every single time I worked and never got sick of it. My favorite sub to eat would have to be the Subway Club though. Ham, turkey, roast beef, provolone cheese, light mayo, mustard, tomato and pickle! Can't beat it. The fact that it is the newest $5 footlong makes me uber happy too!!!

Well there ya have it! Some of my guiltiest pleasures! What are some of your favorite fast food selections? Oh yea and don't forget to enter the giveaway!!! Just scroll down and you will find a link to it in the entry below!

Weekly Song Wednesday!

Well this week's song is a little bit different than what I normally would choose. It is "Forget You" by Cee Lo Green. Now of course I chose the clean version for my family friendly blog here. Replace the word "forget" with the other word that starts with "f" and thats what the song really is. Everytime I hear this song it just sticks in my head because it is so catchy. I LOVE it! Let me know what you all think!

YouTube Tuesday!!

Back again with YouTube Tuesday! We got a twofer this week! A few weeks ago, I mentioned in my "Sick of Them Saturday" how I was sick of the Old Spice Guy suddenly being everywhere. Well a week or so ago I saw a commerical where little Grover from Sesame Street is making a parody of the Old Spice commercial and it just cracked me up. The fact that my 8 month old nephew is in love with Sesame Street so I have been watching it much more recently than I have in the last 20 years, also helped me like this video. Below you will find the original Old Spice commerical and also the little parody from Grover. Enjoy!!

My 5 Monday!!

My 5 Monday is back!!!! YAY!!! So I am having trouble thinking of topics for this little segment I have so feel free to post any ideas you may have for me in a comment below!! If you do, make sure you bounce back to yesterdays posting for the CSN giveaway and get yourself another entry! So as some of you may know from previous postings, I am sorta addicted to Friends. Actually, I am really addicted to it. If they had a support group, I would be a member. I have the entire series and have watched all the eppys numerous times. I wasn't a big fan of seasons 1&2, but 3-10 I LOVE!! Up until recently, I would watch at least 2 episodes everynight while getting ready for the day or getting ready to go to bed. The "Deadliest Catch" series has replaced that in the last few months, but until season 6 comes out for that, I am all caught up so its probably going to be time for Friends once again! I have tried to think of my favorite episodes of that show and can't narrow it down to less than 20 most likely. I think I have multiple favorites from every season. It is just way too hard to choose. So for this week's "My 5 Monday", the topic is:

"My 5 Favorite Friends Moments"

1. The one with Ross' couch

This obviously was actually the blopper,but all the videos I was finding on YouTube had their code embedding disabled. I thought this was even funnier though. Seriously everytime I watch this part I crack up laughing. The way he says "PIVOT" over and over again just cracks me up. I also love when he tries to return it to the store and it is in two pieces!

2. The one with Ross' tan

Okay well this is just hilarious. This eppy actually freaked me out so much I still haven't been able to try spray tanning. Love the way he counts so slow and then says "I'M AN 8". I honestly don't know why he even bothered counting and didn't just turn around when it stopped spraying, but that obviously wouldn't be as funny.

3. The one with the game

I loved everything about this little game of theirs. When they watch the coin fall to the table without calling it, the excitement while they are playing, the funny questions, and the fact that the question they lost to was what Chandler's job was since that was a long standing joke through the series.

4. The one where Ross plays the bagpipes

Once again a blooper, but apparently YouTube is pretty protective of their Friends clips. Hilarious yet again though! Ross sure had some of the funniest moments on the show. He was so smart and yet did some of the stupidest things. Like the one with the couch, I laugh everytime I watch this part, especially listening to Phoebe just shriek along with him.

5. The final episode

Well this episode was hilarious and sad all in one hour. Loved when the babies were born and they found out there were two of them, loved the sign Joey made and then the one that Mike made for the babies that was so much more elaborate, loved that they had the baby chick and baby duck that ended up in the foosball table causing them to have to break the table to get them out, and my favorite part is the scene above when Rachel gets off the plane and everything ends happily ever after!!!

So obviously those are just five of my favorite moments. I also loved all the Thanksgiving eppys, Rachel and Ross' Vegas wedding, Chandler and Monica's proposal, the one with all the resolutions, Chandler and Monica's wedding, the birth of the triplets, the one where no one is ready, the Halloween party episode where Chandler is dressed up like a bunny, and so many more. If they ever come out with a Friends movie, I will be there to see it the first night it's out!

What are some of your favorite moments from Friends? Anyone else (besides Becca and Jess) obsessed with the show like me? Make sure to post suggestions in your comments for next's weeks topic and then go get yourself another entry into the giveaway!!!

CSN Stores review and giveaway coming next week!!

Well I am still enjoying my week long break from blogging, but when I return there will be a giveaway and review for CSN Stores!!!! Stay tuned for my first giveaway!!!

Hmmmmm......

Well I think I have finally hit my slump. I started blogging back in July and up until last week, blogged daily. I have also gotten 483 followers in that time, which I am grateful for. However, these last few weeks, I just haven't been in the blogging mood. The fact that I have had little traffic through my blog the last week or so hasn't motivated me much either. That being said, I am going to take a week or so off. Don't worry all my followers who enjoy reading my blog. I am not ending this. If I think of ideas for my daily topics, I will blog and schedule them for next week, but it is seeming too much like a neccessity lately to blog, and not a fun thing. I am sure this week off will get me excited to start up again though! So please stick with me because I will be back in full swing next week!! Oh yea, I will still be reading all of your blogs so don't worry about losing me as a follower either!!

Follow Them Friday!!

This week's featured blogger is one that I actually just discovered this week via a giveaway from another blog. This weeks's Follow Them Friday blog is Summer Scraps. She has some adorable items for sale for the holidays and also sells the kits so you can make them yourself if you choose. I love all of the little block words! So cute! Make sure to check her out and if you become a follower, let her know you found her blog through "Follow Them Friday" @ It's All Random!! Have a great weekend everyone!!!

YouTube Tuesday!!

Well folks I'm going to warn you right away, this is the saddest video I will probably ever post. I am sure many of you have seen this commercial before. It is the commercial for the ASPCA. As if showing clips of sad looking animals isn't bad enough, they accompany that with depressing music from Sarah McLachlan. I can't even handle watching this commerical when it comes on anyore. I seriously have to turn the channel. Kudos to the ASPCA though for the depressing commercial, because everytime I see it I want to pick up the phone right away to donate. My challenge to you all this week is to see how long you can make it through the video before having to stop it. I made it 56 seconds. Also if you are feeling generous, head on over to their website and make a donation!! Don't worry I will post a much more uplifting video next week!!

My 5 Monday!!!

Happy Monday all! Can you believe it is already October? I sure can't! Well now that the fall season has started, that means all kinds of new shows and returning shows. Which also means I'm not killing the time by watching random reality shows. Have you seen how many reality shows are out there? I am pretty sure there is one about everything these days. I think I am going to find someone to follow and make a show about them and then sell it to some network. Seriously, they have one about EVERYTHING!! Now I haven't watched most of them because I honestly don't think I could handle them. That being said though, I did think "Deadliest Catch" seemed like something I would never watch in a million years and now I am obessed with it, so I won't knock the shows too bad until I've at least tried to watch them. Of course I am assuming that "Deadliest Catch" also led to "Whale Wars", "Lobsterman" and "Swords" being made since they are all pretty similar. All of the above are at least about people who have dangerous jobs, so of course that helps with the drama and entertainment factor. Some professions I am actually amazed they make shows about though. That being said, this week's topic is:

"My 5 WTF?! Reality Shows"

1. Groomer Has It

Okay I have never watched an eppy of this show, nor do I ever care to. Apparently the premise though is twelve dog groomers live together and compete to find out who the best groomer in the country is. The winner then gets $50,000 and a "mobile grooming salon". Sounds exciting doesn't it? Turns out this show only lasted two seasons. Although I would have never thought a show about dog groomers would be made at all so kudos to them for lasting that long!

2. Pawn Stars

I found this one one day when I was browsing through the on demand selections. Turns out I actually know people that watch this one. This show is about the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. Apparently it is described by TV Guide as a mixture of Antiques Roadshow, Cops, and LA Ink. If that's not a variety I don't know what is. Must be a pretty interesting pawn shop though, because I can't picture any of the local ones around me being the center of an entire TV show. This show has had three seasons so far. Take that "Groomer Has It"!

3. Billy the Exterminator

Billy Bretherton is the owner of a pest control located in Louisiana. I have actually seen bits and pieces of this show when one of my patients have been watching it. This one actually does look like it might be intriguing. Also, Billy apparently tries to relocate the captured pests first, which I guess is a lot easier to watch than if her were killing them all. I might actually have to give this one a try. If I ever see one about bugs though, I will be turning the channel right away!

4. American Pickers

This show, like "Pawn Stars", also airs on The History Channel. I guess since they are dealing with old stuff, it qualifies as "history". "Pickers" follows around two friends as they travel around the country, basically garbage picking. Just like "Pawn Stars" I would have never expected to have a show made about this "occupation". To each his own though, and if they can turn trash into treasure, more power to them!

5. Mall Cops

I think this show rates right up there with "Groomer Has It" for the WTF award. Mall Cops follows the daily happenings of the security guards (or mall cops) at Mall of America. I guess they were inspired by "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" when they made this show. Who would have thought!? Now I have never been to Mall of America, but I understand that it is a pretty big mall. Apparently there is also enough action and excitement happening there to fill an entire TV show. I think I may go there one day soon just to people watch and see if anything happens that makes it on the show. Ya never know!!

Well there ya have it. The five shows that made me say to myself "WTF?!?" when I saw their titles and descriptions. Have any of you watched any of these shows? What shows make you think to yourself "WTF?!"?

(I obtained my information from Wikipedia. Very helpful!)

Netflix for Wii- Review

Hello readers :). Sorry that this week's "Sick of them Saturday" was missing, but I didn't actually have time to type one up and believe it or not, no one really drove me crazy last week! Rest assured though, there will be one next week :). If you all remember, a few weeks ago I did a random review of the amazing vacuum I had bought. Turns out that is the most viewed post of my blog. When I searched for that vacuum using Google, my blog came up as one of the top results!! I couldn't believe it!  So, I decided I would review another product that I love and that is Netflix for Wii.

A few months ago I decided that I would give Netflix a try. I figured paying $8.99 a month for as many movies that I wanted to see was a pretty good deal. Actually I wanted to get caught up on all the early seasons of "Deadliest Catch" since I recently became addicted to it, but hadn't seen the first few seasons. By joining NetFlix, I was able to get caught up on seasons 1-4 in about 2 months. So much cheaper than buying all the DVDs. The only catch with Netflix is that you only get one DVD out at a time, but as soon as you return it you get the next one on your list. Not bad!

When I joined Wii and filled out the shipping info, there was also a question asking if I owned a Wii or PS3. I own a Wii so I checked that box. When I got my first DVD, they also sent me a disc to play in the Wii. This disc, when played in the Wii, activates your Netflix account and allows you to watch the movies that you have on your list, or browse through selections and watch them instantly. I LOVE THIS!!! This is so handy for catching up on past seasons of TV shows especially. You can watch however many you want at a time and don't have to worry about waiting for them in the mail. Seriously LOVE IT!!!

Now the only problem with Netflix for Wii is you have to have your Wii connected to the internet. I didn't have this so I of course had to figure out how to do it. I looked it up online and found that all I needed was a Wii LAN Adapter and a Cat5 ethernet cable. Easy enough right? So I went to GameStop to see if they had the adapters. Luckily they did and it only cost me $20. Now all I needed was a Cat5 cable. I asked if they had that also and they did, but it was also $20. Now I had looked on Amazon and saw that I could get one from there for about $3 so I said no thank you to GameStop and left with the the adapter. When I got home I looked online at Amazon and found a 25 foot Cat5 cable for less than $2!! Ordered that right up and waited for it to come. Once it came I hooked it up to the LAN adapter and then connected the other end to the back of my cable modem. The only trouble I had was once I accessed the internet through the Wii and went to Netflix I was supposed to enter a code at the Netflix website while I was connected through the computer. I only have one spot on the back of my modem to hook up the internet so there was no way I could connect via computer and Wii. Luckily my mom was here with her laptop and she has wireless so I could access using hers and enter the code. After getting that done I was connected to Netflix and watching "Deadliest Catch" right through my Wii!!!

I highly recommend Netflix for Wii for anyone who needs to get caught up on their favorite TV shows, but doesn't really want to buy all the previous seasons and also for people who enjoy watching movies a lot. It is much cheaper than purchasing all the DVDs for TV shows that you really only want to see once or twice and also quicker than heading to the video store. If you would like to purchase the LAN adapter that I have used and therefore know it works, click HERE . For the 25 foot cable click HERE. You can also get longer or shorter cables if need be. Hope this was helpful!!!

(I was not compensated by NetFlix, Wii, or Amazon for this review)
