Labor Day Laments

I’ve enjoyed this Labor Day. I spent the whole day with myself. That’s a rarity nowadays. I’d almost forgotten what it was like. I turned off my cell phone ringer and just relaxed. I’ll admit slipping in a nap and getting some work from work done.

I’m using my Labor Day to catch up on some television entertainment which I admittedly don’t get to watch much. The only exception is Big Brother. Oh yeah, the “Charmed” box set has given me a little reason to turn on the tube.

Which brings me to my review of the last season of the show. So far, the episodes have been just as good as the last season.

Blog Recommendation: If you haven’t checked out mom2amara’s blog, at least read her Tie One On post. It’s funny and by the way dad2amara, parting with clothes is hard to do but sometimes it’s for the best!

Midnight Confessions

Okay, it’s more like 4:48am and it’s because I’m not asleep yet. Of course, I’m watching BBAD. Zach is HOH. Zach, Daniele and Dick have a side alliance going. Eric is devastated. Jameka and Jessica are up on the block. That’s most of the crawl that they put on SHO TOO.

Here’s the confession. Tonight was interesting. I went to Momocho in Ohio City. It’s the old Fulton Bar & Grille. I’m shocked that the restaurant closed because back in the day you’d have to have reservations to get a seat there. The service at Momocho was slow and the food was okay. We asked for sour cream and our meal was almost finished before it arrived. The place brought back bad memories of a happier time in my life. My former girlfriend and I enjoyed dinner there. That was the last time when I visited the place. Ohio City confuses me.

After that, we went down to the Warehouse District and stopped at Mercury Lounge. That was another stop that was a bad memory. I can’t believe I still see some of the people who would be out back in the day, they’re still out. I guess the same thing could be said of me but I was in a long term relationship and out of the state for years. It’s funny.

I don’t have the stomach for West 6th anymore. It’s a bunch of people who are out of control and just out so they can be seen. I choose not to go down there anymore but tonight was a special event. One of my friends is moving out of town so it was her going-away party. Exceptions to the rules… (a rare exception!!!)

I’ll still take my peeps at the South Side who are awesome people and always make us welcome! That’s the most of the midnight confession you’re gonna get for this evening!

Charmed: The Final Season

If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time, you’ve heard me mention the show “Charmed”. It’s been a year since it’s been on TV. The CW replaced the WB. The producers decided eight seasons would be enough.

TNT currently repeats the show during the week. TNT is how I got hooked on the show. I didn’t want to watch the final season’s shows until I got through the rest of them. Problem is, I didn’t DVR them so I’ve been anxiously waiting for the final season to come out on DVD. Amazon.com is selling the DVD for $30.99 when it goes on sale September 11th. Here’s one of the perks of working in television. I got an advanced promotional copy of it. I saved about 30-some dollars and am now able to watch the final season a little early.

There has been some talk about whether the final DVD would have Love Spit Love’s version of “How Soon Is Now” as the title theme. The producers’ rights to the song has apparently expired so it’s not on the final season’s DVD. It’s replaced by a like sounding instrumental.

The episode I’m watching right now is “Desperate Housewitches”. I was surprised to see Michelle Stafford (Phyllis on the “Young & the Restless”) as a human who’s possessed by a demon trying to use Wyatt’s powers to bring back The Source. Of course, Michelle plays a great role in this episode.

Big Brother Catch-Up

I’ve been busy but just because I’ve had tons of things to do doesn’t mean the houseguests are slacking off.

After Thursday’s episode, Zach won the HOH. He ended up putting Jameka and Jessica up on the block. Daniele won the Power of Veto competition but the question is, will she leave the nominations as they are or will she take either of the nominations off the block. We will see.
