Reaper Back On
YAY Finally Reaper is coming back to the CW tonight. I thought for sure that it was a goner but then I heard it was coming in 2009. About 2 weeks ago they finally started advertising that it would be here in March and I guess time went by real fast because it's on tonight. YAY!
Xanth Now, Belgariad Later
Today I bought book 2 "Source of Magic" and book 4 "Centaur Aisle". My friend Alyce who bought and mailed me book 1 "A Spell for Chameleon" also bought book 3 "Castle Roogna" and book 5 "Ogre, Ogre".
Since I've already read the first book I thought I should finish the Xanth series before moving onto the David Eddings books which have 17 books. Xanth has 32 or so but I can comprehend the Xanth ones a lot better. So as soon as I get the 2nd Xanth novel I'm going to start reading again.

City Tap Water
Normally I don't drink out of the tap because when you put water in a glass from the tap it's so white it almost looks like milk. A very watered down milk actually. So for that very reason I fill a 5 gallon bottle of water and I use one of those little water bottle things with the spout lol I can't think of the name right now.
But last night I went to get some water because I had really bad heart burn and I needed to take a pepcid and we were out of the bottled water so I had to use the tap. We didn't have anything else to drink. The tap water tasted so bad, it tasted like metal. You could actually taste the pipes or maybe the minerals in the water. Sometimes it tastes like garden hose water which is a really nasty taste but now it's like metal.
Didn't Erin Brokovich work hard to protect the people from this kind of stuff? We have PG&E but this water is from the city of Bakersfield, not PG&E. Maybe Erin should come to Bakersfield and help us out. The water here is so toxic. You know how they say when you go to Mexico not to drink the water? Same applies to Bakersfield. Only drink bottled water or if you are green bring your own 1 gallon container and for 25 cents you can fill it with the Watermill Express. They are cleaned daily.
I like Watermill Express machines, we have one within walking distance from my house, it's actually a 2 minute walk there. They have a sign up about how the filter process is and they filter the hell out of the city water. It gets filtered so many times and it is so good. And they service it daily. We went to Sears and we passed it and there was a truck behind it and the Watermill Express employee was servicing it.
Speaking of which, I gotta go fill our water bottle.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
I like Jimmy Fallon so I'm going to cut him a little slack since this was his first episode however I do have to say that after the "lick it for $10" game I almost left the room. But I wanted to see Robert DeNiro and Justin Timberlake.
The jokes were terrible during the monologue up until when the house band The Roots started singing with the news story. That was funny and cool I guess. Then he did a little game called "Lick it for $10". Like I said that was almost a deal breaker for me, I almost left the room. It was stupid. The first contestant licked the top of a brand new never been touched so new it hasn't had time to accumulate dust Lawn Mower. The next contestant licked the glass of the scanner part of a printer. And the final contestant licked the glass of a fish bowl. And Jimmy gave each $10. Are you kidding me? Stupid. Wasn't even worth $30 if you ask me.
Robert DeNiro comes out and he barely even says a word and Jimmy is talking during the entire interview. I'm sure Mr. DeNiro is a very private person and he probably doesn't do too well in this type of setting which is why he probably ONLY does talk shows when he has to promote something like Meet the Parents or something and even then I'm not sure he would want to. He seems like a very nice person, he just doesn't seem too talkative. Which is why Jimmy wrote 1 word response questions lol.
Justin Timberlake comes on and all of a sudden the show gets way better. They are "talkin' it up" (SNL reference) and singing together and just having a fun time together. I thoroughly enjoyed that interview because Justin Timberlake is always a good time. Oh get your minds out of the gutter.
Then Van Morrison sings. I couldn't understand 1 single word that came out of his mouth. I don't want to hear 1 more Ozzy joke about how he can't speak a full sentence much less a full word. Van Morrison used to be an icon in the 60's but now he's just... not. I can see him coming on to the show as a guest to "chat" about how he had a career in the 60's but you know, beyond that... And I mean no disrespect to him but I really didn't understand him. I'm sorry.
I didn't care for this show to be perfectly honest. If this is a prediction of what the rest of the show is going to be like I'm pretty sure they are going to beg Conan O'Brien to come back real fast.
My very first sentence I said I liked Jimmy Fallon so I'm going to cut him some slack. And that's what I did lol. I was trying to be nice.
EDIT: I watched this show a couple more times since I posted this just to make sure that I wasn't just being an ass about it. You know, cause I might do a retraction saying that he was probably nervous or something and that he's doing better. I wish that were the case but unfortunately he's not. In fact he is still doing that lick it for $10 skit and it's as dumb as ever. Although he did make one guy lick another guy. All I could think was now that's what I'm talkin about. Lick something gross. Not glass or plastic. Lick another person or lick something dirty. He might get it right but the jokes still suck. Although, the jokes were very good jokes, they just weren't told by the right person. He made the jokes look very sad. Sorry Jimmy. I like you bro but you just don't make me laugh anymore. The only thing that I like about your show is the interviews and the music.

The Belgariad
Christmas 2006 I was visiting my aunt in Texas and I had a Buffy novel with me and my uncle thought it was a little juvenile and maybe I should be reading something that an adult would read. He didn't say that but that is the impression that I got from it.
He had (has) on his bookshelf these books by David Eddings, there are probably 17 books and he handed me like 5 and I was like I can't read all these lol. So, I said how about this, I'll read some of the first book tonight and we'll see how it goes lol. So that night when everyone went to bed I went in the room I was sleeping in and started reading the preface. That's as far as I got.
I didn't take his books home with me because I didn't want to have to ship them back when I was done so I just wrote down a list of all the books. I probably only needed to write down the first book or maybe emailed myself the title because the book has all of the books in the whole series in the very beginning of the book. But that's OK, I was making a gesture to my aunt and uncle that I would in fact buy the books and read them.

When I came home I did buy The Belgariad Vol. 1 with the first 3 books Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery and Magician's Gambit and The Belgariad Vol. 2 with Castle of Wizardry and Enchanters' End Game. They are 2 huge books and when I got them in the mail from Amazon.com I started reading Vol. 1 right away with the Preface and I think I read all of Chapter 1 of Pawn of Prophecy but the problem I had was that I kept falling asleep.
Usually when you read something and you start falling asleep it's not a good thing. Like take my blog for example. Er um eh hem I mean yeah let's not go there lol.
When I read the Hobbit I kept falling asleep. Not that it was boring or anything but it was a very confusing book with all those dwarf names and there were too many words that I'm not familiar with and I really hate having to stop reading to go look up a word lol. But I got through the Hobbit all the way to the end and I'm better for it.
I would like to give The Belgariad a 2nd chance though because I'm going to start reading it again tomorrow. I can't read in my rooms light and definitely not the living room light, it hurts my eyes too much. I'm going to just see if it works out for me while I wait for the 2nd Xanth book to arrive.

Bye Girls
I just watched the season finale of the Girls Next Door. That is one of the few reality shows that I actually do like to watch because it is entertaining. There is no BS drama on that show where the girls are always fighting and pulling out each others hair extensions then Hef has to get in between them and next thing you know he is rushed to the hospital. No, they don't do that. Everyone gets along.
I thought that since Kendra left the mansion to move into her own mini mansion and Bridget went to Europe for 4 months that the show would be finished. Holly was supposed to move on too because she was with Criss Angel but I read today on TMZ that they split so that's a no go.
Apparently the show isn't over because it said Season finale and not Series finale. Usually when it says Series finale then you know it's over. I just went to tvguide.com and tv.com to find out if this was indeed the end of the show or if it was returning but I didn't get any information. I read on TV Guide how in October 2008 Hef announced his split with Holly and that Kendra moved out but that's about it.
I don't know how far ahead they shoot these. I know that most sitcoms and dramas are shot 3 months before they air because they have to edit and stuff. I'm not sure about reality shows. The only reality show that I watch that is actually live is Big Brother. They have a whole day or 2 to edit everything because they are on 3 days a week.
Kendra's new reality show starts in June but I only watch Girls Next Door when I remember that it might be on. It's not a show I watch regularly. I've probably missed half of the last few seasons, before that I never really watched it. But I do like this show, I have nothing but respect for Hugh Hefner so that is why I watch when I do watch. Also it's very entertaining hehe.
I wish the girls the best of luck and hope they find what they are looking for in life and I hope the show comes back for another season.
Edit: I turned Chelsey Lately on tonight (March 3rd 2009) and the season finale episode had repeated tonight and at the very ending the annoncer did say that there will be another season with brand new episodes (duh, I didn't think a new season would have old episodes). So it is coming back.
