Beauty vs Geek

Yet another season for Beauty and the Geek is here and I am excited! This is one of my favorite shows as most of you might know considering I've blogged many times about this.



I've come to one conclusion: CW can mix it up, take it to a new level, and "evolve" the experiment--and I'll still think it is a neat show.



This season it is Beauty vs Geek. At first I was worried, but after watching a couple episodes it is safe to say that not much has changed. Justin has even watched an episode with me! (he can't stand the show) Now the mystery to me is.....will the geeks still get a makeover???

What To Watch?

I have to follow a brand new television show this fall for my radio/tv programming course. As I said before, I am usually the one to watch a bunch of reruns. I've been watching Gilmore Girls, King of Queens, Family Guy, and Hannah Montana. Yeah, that's right...as much as I hate to admit it, I have been sucked into the "hey, I'm on the Disney Channel so I have to be a pop star" plot. So maybe this assignment will help spice up of life in front of the tube.

I'm now trying to decide between two shows that air at the same time:

"Back to You": Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton have great chemistry as news anchors on- air, but that's not the case off-air. I think it has the potential to be a funny show.

"Pushing Daisies": A baker puts to use his special powers to awaken the dead by helping his detective friend solve murder mysteries. Both his dog and girlfriend are a part of the living dead. With one touch he can bring them to life, but if he touches them again they will be dead forever.

I'm leaning toward "Pushing Daises", but I'm not sure. What do you think? Any shows that you could suggest?

A TiVo Suggestion

I have never really had an interest in watching "So You Think You Can Dance", but my TiVo obviously thought differently. I guess it got those ideas from the "American Idol" kick I went on last year. (loved it!) After watching, I still don't like the show. The way the contestants make goofy faces while holding up their voting # annoys me.

BUT, BUT, BUT I loved the passion these people displayed about dancing! It made me wish that I had something that I felt just as passionate about....something tangible, that I can work toward...a dream or something. They almost had me convinced that I wanted to be a dancer! Then again, the fireman, army, and comedian that came and spoke to my senior class almost had me convinced to join them. Maybe I get too swept up in these shows...So I'm not saying I have no dreams or lack passion. I would just like to have something that I feel talented at and enjoy doing. Anybody ever feel this way??

My television screen is dusty.

In Today's News...

My absolute FAVORITE geek was voted off of the show today. I personally feel that he deserved to win because he made the most changes out of anyone. PLUS, his partner (or Beauty) wasn't extremely evil. This upsets me the most because I made Beauty and the Geek a priority over American Idol so I have missed all of the Paula drama. I will miss you Mario!

School is starting off pretty well this semester. I think I am going to enjoy most of my classes. The only class that I'm totally disappointed with is Advertising. I feel that the teacher is just reading the book out loud to us...I really wish she'd put some of her personal experiences in the read the book, show the book's powerpoint slides, give the book's tests mix. I suppose if that is all I have to gripe about this semester everything will be ok.

Speaking of classes I would like to direct your attention to a few links I have:

1) Photos In Progress-This is a blog that I have started so that I can easily view all of my assignments in my digital photography class. If you like to look at random pics just click on over there! Yes, not only am I not managing one blog, I am now not managing two.

2) Notable Or Not?-When I'm bored at work I like to look at Blogger's Notable Blogs. I usually find one blog that I want to keep visiting every now and then so I figured that it would be easier to put a link here rather than having to remember the address and type it in every time.

THE END

Sad News

Today Carrie decided to take a romantic getaway with Doug (who really wasn't all that crazy about it). You see, Carrie read a magazine that said you had to build "tent poles" meaning strong memories that hold up your relationship...this romantic getaway was one of the "tent poles." Well, when Doug went to work his best friend Deacon told him about a trip he had planned that weekend for "the guys" to Atlantic City. What was Doug going to do? Choose his wife or PARTE with his friends (which is what he wanted to do). Somehow Doug convinced Carrie to go to Atlantic City with the group and she could go to the spa and stuff. Uh, how could she resist? They went, but something happened to where Deacon couldn't go anymore.

So the sad news is that Deacons wife left him. I mean I KNEW it was going to happen sometime...but that poor man is now left with nothing....what will he do? Too bad it was a re-run and I already know what he's going to do later on....

Wow, people can really talk about a TV show like they know the people....good to know.

More Books

After being encouraged by Justin to beat the return of the SFAers I went and bought my books for this semester. It turns out that one of my classes has 12 books in it. I'm just glad that it is my Children's literature class that has that many books instead of my geography class. (phew) And I guess those books really don't count considering they are books like Harry Potter, The Cat In the Hat, The Giving Tree, etc. I'm actually excited to read those books...in fact, I am giddy at the thought of reading them.

When I got home from work I decided to rearrange stuff in my apartment. I suppose it is called rearranging...maybe I'm just arranging stuff for the first time. Anyway, when I unpacked all of my stuff I really just dumped it out, shoved it somewhere, and threw away the box. NOW I can truly say that everything (except the stuff in this one closet) is unpacked AND has it's own little home.

My new television addiction is "The Newly Wed Game". I LOVE that show despite its age! I think the best part is when you see what they've won and realize that it really isn't all that impressive anymore. Or maybe that is just sad. Either way it has made its way into my Season Pass list. :)

I can't wait until tomorrow because it is "chinese food day" at work! Goodnight...

Little Demons

Nothing out of the ordinary happened to me today. I woke up, played Paper Mario, and went to work around 3:00. I was scheduled the Afterschool shift. For those who don't know, Afterschool is a program the CLC at First Methodist has for middleschool students that simply gives them a place to stay while their parents are still at work. Things were a little different today because the Lufkin HS senior breakfast is tomorrow and they had to decorate the facility. So.....we moved the kids to the contemporary worship building. (ugh) I'm not sure if it is because these are the last few days of school for them or what...they were horrible! Running around, trying to watch MTV, messing with the pool tables, running upstairs, breaking into the coffee shop and stealing big cups for coke, and so so much more. My thought was since we were in the WORSHIP building the students should respect the facility a bit more. THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN TO US! What makes it worse is that I do not look authoritative at all. I was standing at a table serving triple chocolate cake (the snack of the day) and I turned around to see a bunch of kids lined up behind me. I asked them why they weren't getting cake and they said they were waiting for me to get my piece. They thought I was one of them!! I guess I have to wear shoulder pads or something to look older....who knows!? All I know is that those dang kids pushed my buttons on purpose and made me not want to have kids that live up to the 6th grade.

After work I went home, sat around, made a trip to Walmart with Justin, Katie, and Sean, watched American Idol, and here I am now. I am really excited about the finale of American Idol. I really think Taylor will win based on the final performance tonight. Ya never know though...

I have to get up early tomorrow morning and go work the senior breakfast. That should be interesting considering I have to direct traffic or something. Free food may be involved though...and that is worth it to me!

Plans for Friday have evaporated like the water at NRh20...I got the day off, but we are no longer going. I'm not upset, at least I get to work at the doctor's offie and go to Nick's graduation. I might get some Paper Mario playing under my belt too....man, we still haven't watched Saw 2!

Internet Snob

I am so desperate to serf the net at highspeed that I have driven across town to Whataburger. The ONLY reason I haven't been blogging is because we only have dial-up at the house. I am an internet snob. French fries and a Dr. Pepper is a perk too.

Not too much has been happening to me lately. I've been settling in at the McClain's household and refreshing my memory up at the Christian Life Center. Rooming with Justin's little sister Katie hasn't been too terribly bad. I will say though that I've never had a younger sister so it is taking some time to get use to.

Tonight was the season finale of Desperate Housewives!! It was crazy, and I am already excited about next season. :) There are so many twist and turns in this show and that is what I love about it. Every episode has you on the edge of your seat. Will Bree hook up with a murderer after saving her daughter from one? Is Gabriella going to forgive her husband for cheating on her? Oh, and poor Susan might have lost the man she was going to propose to. Enough about that...WEDNESDAY is the finale of American Idol. I am especially excited because the last two contestants are my favorite male and female...I can see myself buying either ones' cd. So that is a plus.

One thing I really miss is going to Grace Bible Church. I know I will be here only for the summer, but everything is just different now. Oh well, maybe I'll be off one Sunday so I can make the drive.

I better go now, I am using Justin's computer...mine died. Man oh man, I'll be happy when I can use my computer again. Until whenever...

Famous

Did I mention that I'm famous? Yes that's right folks! I, Angela Nicole Janisch, am in a total strangers' blog. I assume this person is using his blog as a project, but I'm in it none-the-less. If you are interested in the pic just click here. Yeah, I don't like the picture too much--I look really young and it appears that I'm "embracing Larry." I was really just shoving him over so Justin could take a picture of us by my favorite flowers. Oh well, I'm famous anyway. :)

I wish I could say that I have been really busy lately...unfortunately, I've just been working and going to school. IHOP is short on staff and I got to work a 12 hour shift this weekend. Man, this next week we are going to be even shorter on staff!! Finals week and I will be working non-stop. Yuck. That's ok, we probably won't have much business anyway. (famous last words)

Dead week this week. Finals next week. Back in Lufkin the one after. I seriously hope that I can just find a job for the summer in Lufkin...I would love to stay in one town most of the time. I have to pay for and pick up my new furniture. One problem: Where the heck am I gonna store it? I think they are too big to go in Justin's house...my house has no room with all of my Uncle's stuff he had to move out of his house...so I think I might get a storage unit. Any tips for that? Things I need to watch out for? Just wondering...

Four people left on American Idol. Desperate Houswives is still suspensful. Awww, and Ryan Seacrest & Terri Hatcher have broken up.I didn't know they were together...just thought it would be cool to tie my favorite shows together.

THE END.
