Nurse Jackie



I keep watching this show - which it is in its very first season, and I've got to say that I love it. When I first read about Edie Falco doing such a riske show I wondered if she could pull it off. Shes is doing a good job - the only not believeable thing about her is that she scored such a hot husband, cause she is old as fuck and her hubs looks 35 the most --- shes like almost 50 now....The eyes do not lie.....


Anyways, something about her character JAckie Peyton has been plaguing my thoughts. I cannot seem to get it off my mind - and that is that she is living a double life. In this past weeks episode its beginning to get complicated juggling the two relationships shes in.

Jackie is married with two kids & and because she works so many hours at the hospital she has been carrying on a relationship with a pharmacy tech in the same hospital that she works at.

This idea of having two seperate lives with two different men is so intriguing. I have heard of men always leading double lives.

But this is so ingenius to me. If I worked in a hospital and I take off my wedding ring every day and I work the 24 to 36 hour shifts....i can totally lead two relationships. A work one and an outside one....
It just makes me really curious to know how I would be able to juggle the men. I mean in essence it would really be easy to lie to the two men about each other. I mean, it wouldnt be lying just juggling truths and remember what i said to whom. I keep thinking of how I would do it in my life right now.

Which would actually be the easiest thing ever. My husband is a police officer and he's like never home. I could easily be dating someone during those moments.....or atleast fucking somebody... not that I would ever do that... I am just being very hypothetical here.

Hmmm....this is soooo verrryyy interestinggg......

Sookie Stackhouse Series

The Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris is "fangtastic" (sorry, I couldn't help myself).

I first started the series after the first season of True Blood, which is the HBO tv series based on the books. I was fascinated by the tv show and I just had to have more of Sookie and Bill.

Season 2 of True Blood starts Sunday June 14, 2009.

I am anticipating the show because the books were so amazing and full of action and death and guts and sex and love and twisted drama. I really can't wait to see how the story of Bill's betrayal will be portrayed into the tv show because he was never who he really said he was. Which was a huge shocker and total disappointment. But after reading the 10th book in the series. I have an inkling that she might finally be happy with the sex god.

Not that I wouldn't like her being with Eric, who I might add I have had plenty fantasies with that handsome viking.....viking me....hmmmm anyways.

Try to catch the set either in the book form or tv show. Here goes my ops on the book series:


Its about a lonely mind reading cajun girl aged 25 meeting and falling in love with a sexy vampire Bill. She falls for him, makes him her lover, and then finds out the truth about him. That he was sent by the Queen of Louisiana to investigate and keep tabs on her.

Sookie, of course is crushed to find out that the only man she has ever loved and bed was a liar and fake. But was his love? This is a question that has been tried to be prooved time and time again through all the books. Does he love her? How much more can he say or do to show her that he only wants her?
But all these questions are things that Sookie puts on the back burner because she keeps getting mixed up in vampire, were, witch, shapeshifting, and fairy politics with and without her consent most of the time.
She is a product of the wrong place and wrong time, with the wrong someone most of the time. On top of that she simply cant seem to stray away from a friend in need either.

Along the way, she falls for two other men, another vampire the viking (and erotic) Eric Northman and the very sexy WereTiger Quinn. Although she seldom gets a chance to bang the shit out of her men, the few times she does, it is intense.

Book ten Dead And Gone, left me with a certainty that Charlaine Harris is not done with playing around with Sookie's characters. She really seems to involve herself fully to her story and love triangle that Sookie has going on. I like that she has written so many books, unlike Stephanie Meyer who quit at 4 books. Either way, the new tv show is making Charlaine gain new motivation to write in dollars and sense.

Waking up is Hard to Do.

I woke up this morning glaring at the alarm clock that was blalring next to me...the time was fuzzy cause i didnt have my glasses on and i wondered what it would be like to not go into work today. I mean, i really didnt have anything to look forward to and I was so tired from the long weekend. (It felt long because I was lucky enough not to work this saturday.)
I was actually one of the lucky ones. Then I remembered that I hadnt played the lotto and my chances to winning were zilcho.

Oh getting outta bed was a total disaster when i noticed manny was missing. "great" i thought "now i have to fish him off the sofa". There he was curled up like a baby snoring his brains out. His long linguini legs wrapped around the sofa pillows..."im gonna have to fluff those when i get back from work today" i thought.

And like a 5 year old he sleep walks behind me to get back into bed. Its now 8:25am and im curled under him. "maybe i should call in sick today, noone would miss me". Oh then i remember i dont have that luxury, theres one other teller and i cant do that to her, shes got school to go to after work. Dammit....maybe i do have to go...I get out of bed and drag my legs behind me to the shower....then i wonder if i can sleep in the shower for just 5 mins...thats quickly put to stop when i burn my skin by accident...I walk out and remember that i have to blow dry my hair...ughhh "short hair is the worst. Whos great idea was this to cut it this short!"

Big Love. Big Trouble?






Wow this weeks episode was intense. Like all family situations, when in close quarters everyone's sanity gets lost the longer they are together. And this Sunday the truth came out for everyone. Bill is trying to find his way through his family with his beliefs; Nicki's secret with her birth control came to light along with her own unpredicted crush becoming grander with the lawyer that tried to put her father in jail; Margene had naked time with Ben and she finally coped with her drunken mothers death; Ben's sexual arousal by the indescent moment is put to light; Sarah's pregnancy comes to a halt quickly after its reveal; Teeny needs a make over....and Barb is suffering for all the drama in her family.

This had been a roller coaster of a season and I cannot wait to see next Sundays episode. I was also thinking about how much of a risk taker HBO is on placing this show on a Sunday time slot. Really on the mother of all mothers of a day of religion. I really do come to appreciate the balls on the network..really bravo. I have been following this show with so much intrigue since its inception to television and it really keeps getting better and better. If you have not seen it yet I will recap it for you.

Big Love revolves itself on the complexities of religion, the main course being Mormonism. It sheds a small light on this complex religion (complex cause i dont get it, im kinda catholic) and its affect on Bill Henrickson's family. He is an outcast of sorts having been thrown out of the compound as a young boy but remained true to his upbringing beliefs. He has been trying to become a money maker and a true Mormon no matter the society he lives in. (also called the "real world" in my eyes)

If you havent seen it try and catch up you might enjoy it.

Amercan Idol Report

The terror that has become American Idol is scarier than any plot on a blood thirsty thriller. I would like to start with yesterdays group singing version of one of my fav songs of the year:
Jason Mraz- Im yours.



That was the real and only version of his beautiful song. This next video is his terrible AMerican Idol rendition...if you hear hard enough you can hear my heart breaking along with JAson's...




Does anyone else agree?
