Its officially summer!

Weather
Once it turned summer, officially on June 21st, it got really humid here in Chicago. For 3 straight days, we were in the 90s and well kinda still counting. We may not have hit official 90s weather afterwards, but the humidity and just icky-ness of it makes it seem so. So far just thunderstorms, on and off, and well that doesn't help due to floods and well making still feel very humid at times.We'll see what happens while this week continues.

Tv shows
Under the Dome

On CBS Monday nights, check your local listings for show times! This one has officially started as of yesterday and it is based on the Stephen King novel by the same name. I have the book, but dear lord, his books are always bible thick and heavy that one glimpse at it or them.. I gave up after a couple of small chapters. Its sad, I know, but I'm not a bookworm and as hard as I try to engage in reading any book, any type, it's just difficult. Anyways, so far in the very first episode of it.. was very suspenseful and graphic, but if you want it to be as close to the book as possible, you must add what you need to add. So, if you like Stephen King, his writing and work, then this one is a must see mini series.

Catfish: The Tv show

On Mtv Tuesday nights, check your local listings for show times! I saw the movie by the same name or similar, Catfish, and I did see the first season of it. I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm so glad I never got Catfished. Why? due to me being my own advocate and investigator. Today, the very first episode of the new season has aired and so far, your jaw can just drop in an instant with this show. So if you're into seeing a show like this, then give it a go!

Awkward

On Mtv was on Tuesday nights, but it ended for now approximately 2 weeks ago. How it ended, we all saw it coming, but did Matty see Jenna kissing Collin? My opinion, I believe so. Of course something was gonna happen with Ming and The Asian Mafia leader and obvious signs that Lissa was the one who "accidentally" killed Ricky. As I stated in my Tumblr page of what I think will happen next, its just going to be a mess for Jenna and in a sense, there will be no turning back with her. Interested on getting the seasons on dvd? Check Amazon to pre-order part 1 of season 3 now and while you're there, check the other seasons too... I know I will soon!

Blackhawks bandwagon

Congratulations Chicago Blackhawks! Your hometown is very proud of you and hopefully I can see the parade on Friday in the location I'm at for work.. so I can take awesome pictures of the parade and hopefully the Stanley Cup! I need to venture out towards The Art Institute museum to take photos of the lion statues with their Blackhawks hats. I bet they look cute with them on, lol!

Change totally blows..

Weather
Short and sweet.. we got to the 50s this past weekend! Sadly, we are dropping to the 30s feel the beginning of April, but don't fret.. we will be back in the 50s by the end of this week and into the weekend! So enjoy it, while it lasts and shows up.

Tv shows
I got a few to talk about and just put out there that I do watch. Some are new, some are new seasons and some are ending.

Awkward.

So my favorite show, basically my soap opera, is coming back to Mtv! It's in its 3rd season and oh my, all the new shenanigans that's going to happen this season is mind blowing or as the theme of this season says, "Change blows". I must purchase the first 2 seasons on dvd cause this is another one I will be collecting! Awkward returns on Tuesday April 16 at 9pm CST on Mtv with a 1 hour premier!! Haven't seen the preview of it? Check it out here. You're welcome!

Bates Motel

A new show in the horizon. Bates Motel is on A&E Monday nights at 9pm CST. I heard of this one coming out a week or 2 before its official airing and it did seem promising. So far, its in its 3rd episode and its eye catching. If you didn't know, its based on the movie Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock, of course before Norman Bates did his famous kills in or around the hotel aka when he was young. Its kind of interesting to watch cause now that you put two and two together you wondered how he turned out to be the way he is or was. I hope it gets a little better, so that Alfred Hitchcock wouldn't be turning in his grave with a face palm moment of disappointment. Need to catch-up? Go to A&E's website for full eps and info!

Californication

Sadly, this one is coming to an end this coming Sunday, for its 6th season. Californication airs on Showtime Sunday nights at 9:30pm CST. This season was.. interesting. A lot of new characters were introduced to Hank Moody's life and a new type of writing gig or format was needed from Hank. The show was still funny, as it should be, but as other fans on FB have been saying, "writers are slowing down" and I kind of agree. New characters were added to "spice up" the season or show together? These new people are strange and out of their minds, literally. What was the purpose of Marilyn Manson to show up? Just to act stupid and come out in this new year? Lame! Anyways, I must catch up on it with my net connections and well watch it On Demand before the eps air or see the last ep this coming Sunday!

Countdowns
Let these countdowns begin!!!

Movie Review: The Possession [and Awkwardness]

Hello and welcome!

Synopsis:
               "Clyde and Stephanie Brenek see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Emily becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale."

This movie was on my "must watch" list. Oddly enough, my parents also wanted to see it so, we went. This is like all those other exorcism movies out there, but this one is quite different from the rest. Warning: If you do NOT like movies of this nature, then I really suggest not to go watch this one!! The movie states facts in the beginning of it and given some by the commercials, it is a true story...it happened in reality. As the synopsis states, the youngest daughter of a family of 4 gets possessed by a force. Unlike other exorcism, as I stated earlier, it is quite different from the rest with this one actually having a different background of how to expel the force out and relating it to objects and a name. There are some funny moments, which is odd to have in a genre of this sort, but they fit well into the moment. Of course there are more creepy or scary moments, but nothing that will make you jump off your seat. It is after all a true story, the story in general is scary to know that it did happen. Ranking: 4 out of 5-- it's just scary to think this could really happen!



Its so Awkward.

You might have heard me quote or just talk about this show on my Facebook from time to time. Honestly, this show is like my soap opera that I can really relate to from time to time as well. Even though I haven't really been in the same awkward situations she has been, some feelings she has gone through I have gone through as well. The confusion, the funny, the different paths we all could take or think about. The second to last episode of the second season, which the season finale is this upcoming Thursday (930pm), I can really relate to most-- wanting a do-over or a start-over. I started thinking of my own do-over paths that can happen, but...I'm not sure if there were any. A start-over? It really couldn't happen, so I told myself that if I can't have either, then I'm perfectly fine where I'm at now in life. Sadly, since this show is ending, I won't have much to look forward to now on Thursdays. I looked high and low for the first season on dvd at stores and sadly, I was defeated by a unseen force. I just might buy both from amazon soon and I'm glad my sis was looking too, without me knowing so. Since she didn't find it as well, she got me "The Big Bang Theory" season 1 instead for a birthday present....I'm happy! Well, if anyone would like to know what I'm talking about, with this show of course, I suggest sitting back at home watching Mtv all this weekend since they are having a marathon of it all and the season finale episode is this Thursday, so don't miss it!! I know I am, even though I have seen them all up till now. You're welcome!
