Real Housewives round up!


Atlanta premiered Sunday night & of course it kicked off with a bang named Kenya Moore crossing the line with Cynthia when they were doing a Jet casting at the Bailey Agency.  Kenya is a former Miss USA who thinks very highly of herself & she was making some rude ass comments to the girls who were auditioning for the Jet gig.  One of the agency employees said something to her & she got all up in his face calling for "security, security" and some dude in a suit came up & moved the employee which caused a problem as the employee clearly works there & the security guy was brought by Kenya who stated that people are always all over her so she has to have security.  I'm sorry but I've never heard of her & according to the cast she has absolutely no need for security because most people don't know who she is either.  I have a feeling she'll bring all kinds of insanity & drama this season.

We also learned that Gregg is trying to get back with NeNe & I think it's great...granted he messed things up but he clearly knows that & is really doing everything he can to get his woman back.  NeNe of course is blowing up in Hollywood with her new role on The New Normal & in the first episode we got to see Ryan Murphy & her have some dinner & drinks & try to call Tyler Perry who apparently changed his number.

Now miss Phaedra Parks is not only working toward her degree in mortuary science she wants to be the "Vera Wang" of funerals & also include animals in her practice & not just people...she cracks me up & while she's out there she's totally authentic & I can't blame her for that.

I need to touch on Kim as well, she's pregnant again & moving & so far it's not an easy venture for her after they were quoted $100,000 for the move she threw in the towel saying "evict me" but Kroy is much more level headed reminding her that they are just moving, not flying to the moon.  We did get to see Kim go to check out Kandi's new house that she bought with her man (he's cute & seems super sweet) & it is huge & gorgeous but it needs a lot of work & decorating too.  Kim of course said the house was in the hood & she was afraid when they got off the freeway even though Kandi reminded her that the Mayor lives around the block.  Kim is just one of those people who knocks everyone else for everything they have because it isn't as nice as hers but lets not forget that she's about to be homeless!  We haven't had an opportunity to meet the other new girl Porsha but I assume we will Sunday.



Beverly Hills was a great first episode with a party at Villa Blanca that Adrienne wasn't invited to.  Apparently Lisa is still not speaking to Adrienne after the shizz that went down during the reunion from last season...Adrienne accused Lisa of selling stories to the tabloids.  We saw Adrienne & Paul having dinner & Taylor called to ask Adrienne to go shopping for something to wear to the party & that's when the cat was let out of the bag...oops.  So Taylor & her went shopping...Taylor has gained a bit of weight & looks better & she seems to be getting better mentally as well after the loss of her ex husband.

Kyle & Portia made calls to invite people to Portia's 4th birthday party & she was so damn cute!  Portia called Lisa "dahling" and I about peed myself, she's adorable & growing up so fast...she also said "so annoying" after trying to reach her aunt Kim a few times & getting voice mail...full voice mail of course.  So speaking of Kim, she's been out of rehab & sober for I think she said 3 months or maybe it was just 1 month but she's sober & that's all that matters.  Kim & Brandi still aren't getting along because, according to Brandi,  Kim's problems are all her fault.  Brandi wishes they could move on but clearly Kim isn't ready for that although Taylor seemed to be less offended by Brandi than she used to be but they didn't interact much at the Villa Blanca party.  

Brandi & Lisa are BFF now so Brandi came to check out Ken & Lisa's new house & brought them a gift of tequila & rubber sheets.  She may be a vulgar trashy girl but she's grown on me & her and Lisa really are quite funny together, especially with Brandi always hitting on Ken...it's all in good fun, I don't think she's serious especially after being cheated on herself.  Now back to the Villa Blanca party...Adrienne sent a flower arrangement that looked like an art piece that would go inside of a fish tank, a HUGE fish tank!  I swear the thing must have been 5 feet long & looked like driftwood adorned with bouquets of roses & calla lilies.  It was fugs in my opinion & a very calculated move on Adrienne's part...clearly, she wasn't invited so she sent the arrangement with a personal card saying congrats on the anniversary.  How petty!

This season is going to bring so much drama & excitement with Adrienne & Paul's split, the fire at Lisa's former home, Brandi has a face to face with one of Eddie's mistresses, the guys seem to get more involved with the drama this season too & I can't wait!!

Start-ups Silicon Valley...I watched it


I checked out this new show last night & I don't really know what to say other than...it's not that great.  These kids...I call them kids because they are all under the age of 31...so these kids are all so annoying.  The girls are all very arrogant & superficial except for Hermione who is from England & lives with her brother Ben.  Their story is odd, their parents divorced when she was 2 or 3 & they each lived with a different parent so they really didn't know each other very well & had not lived together until now when they are living & working together on a new startup.  They are working on getting investors to help them create an app that provides real time life expectancy information...I don't know that I would want to know that honestly!  These two are the least annoying of everyone thus far.

There's a guy named Dwight that I can't stand, he's a drunken fool who is working on some other startup that I honestly can't recall the point of.  I think I've just gotten too old at this point because he drinks so much & acts like a freaking 5 year old, it's obnoxious.

Sarah is apparently a big deal in her world, she lives at the Four Seasons with her dog & everything is comped because she's working for them in some fashion.  Her dog gets room service daily, yep, room service.  Sarah is smart & makes things happen but she of course bugs me, she smiles while she talks & it drives me bananas plus she acts like she's too cool for school which I can't stand.  She is getting her makeup & hair done to go to a toga party & apparently it takes 3 to 4 hours...I don't even think it takes a celebrity that long to get ready for The Oscars!

There's a gay guy named David that I kind of like but he was only on briefly so I'm just guessing...he's BFF with Sarah so I'm hesitant to like him more at this point.  Last we have Kim who rubbed me the wrong way from her initial interview, I'm not quite sure why but again she acts like she's all that & I'm not against confidence but I am against arrogance.  When people allow their heads to get that big it ultimately ruins them because they can't see anything else other than their awesomeness.  I hate to say it but this is the third show I'm adding to the "sorry Bravo but I won't be watching" list.

It's election day...2012


As I'm sure most of you are fully aware...it's Tuesday, November 6, 2012 & that means that its election day.  I've been noticing that a lot of people have the day off, schools are closed & there's pretty much nothing on TV so there is no reason that everyone should not get out there & exercise their right to vote for what or who they believe in.  

I'm not the most informed person around when it comes to politics but I know enough to feel confident in who I am voting for as President.  It's the local election that I have a harder time with as I grew up in a different county than I live in now & the majority of my friends & family all still live in that county as well so I still have no idea what's going on in this one.  I don't vote in local elections because I honestly don't really care, if things get hairy I can just move to the other side of the street & I'll be back in the county I used to live in...if I had kids &/or owned a home I'd definitely pay attention to local government but I don't have kids & I rent.  However, when it comes to the leader of our nation I do care as everyone should & when I hear people say they aren't going to vote it just tells me that they are too lazy to do a little research, especially with the internet it's not that difficult to find out who stands for what.  In the past (before I had internet) I used to pick 3 things I felt very seriously about & would see who agreed with me & vote that way but as I get older I care about more things like healthcare, job creation, renewable energies, environmental responsibility, gay rights & a lot more so I pay more attention to politics in an ongoing basis.

The worst part about elections is all the damn proposals...I spent at least 4 hours studying these damn proposals to figure out how I wanted to vote.  They are worded so crazy that half the time a no vote indicates a yes response so now I have a cheat sheet with everything written down so when I walk into that little booth I can't be confused again.  In case you are feeling the same way I was I'm going to share some links with you to help you find your polling place, get a ride to the polls if you need one, information on the proposals & anything else you might need to help you get your vote on in Michigan...the polls are open 7 am to 8 pm!  If you need a ride to the polls Google your city & "rides to the polls" to see if any of your local churches or community organizations are providing free rides.
