Five For Friday 25


Forgive me all. Either I have a weird sense of humor or I'm still under the weather.

A Drop In the Pond


As promised I kept my word for today being the day where I would unveil the new look for my site. I chose today to be the day because I started this site on this day 6 months ago.

Site Maintenance Alert

I will be locking the site tomorrow (October 4th) beginning sometime around 9am. When the lock starts it will stay that way until sometime in the afternoon or early evening while I’m loading in, testing and putting the final touches on the new design for the site. Hopefully this doesn’t bother too many people but I’m giving fair warning now so you’re not alarmed when you can’t get in.

Why Couples Therapy Should Not Have Been Renewed


I’ve been somewhat vocal about why this show shouldn’t have been renewed but since we are upon the date when season 2 is due to premiere I figure I might as well make my own post on this (I’ve been sick as hell for the last week and it’s pissing me off so that’s why I have so many posts today). I never watched season 1, I also have no intention to watch this new season so no this post won’t be about the issues I have with the show itself and I’m not going to kill myself watching just to have a post about that. It doesn’t work that way for me.

Press Release Translations: Part 2


Yeah I decided to give you all a double with this one today. I won’t hold myself to doing one of these every week but I will do them whenever I see a press release that makes me roll my eyes, like this one.

This press release is about Bravo touting their success with part 1 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. If there’s one pet peeve I have it’s this adding junk because the added number is the one that always gets thrown around and makes people think the show is bigger than it is. Then they wonder why the hell the show keeps getting renewed when the real average is like 30-50% of the inflated number. Unlike the Oxygen one this one will be much shorter.

Press Release Translations: Part 1


I’ve thought about doing something like this for quite a while but I suppose time and the lack of motivation has kept me from doing so.

Anyway a pet peeve of mine is a press release with heavy PR spin. They bother me a lot (sometimes to the point where it is a little bit irrational and unjustified). I’m the kind of person who likes for things to be cut and dry so I need a press release to tell me what the title says it’s going to tell me (I also need them for ratings of hard to find shows).
