I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration!  You go Phyllis.  I’m glad that someone found joy in this week’s Office.

Yes it’s Phyllis wedding and the whole Dunder Mifflin gang is invited for some reason.  I guess its just easier to invite them than to deal with the annoyance and anger involved in their not being invited.  Especially Angela, can you imagine the tyrant she’d be?  Oy.

I love Phyllis and I love that she tries to be so accommodating but seriously what the hell was she thinking by putting Michael in charge of wheeling her Dad down the aisle.  Michael infuriated me tonight.  Not in the way he normally does, I actually wanted Bob Vance to beat the shit out of Michael.  I wanted bad things to happen to Michael so that he would once and for all learn his lesson.  I know that is the point of Michael being Michael and that is the point of The Office but damn, he can test some patients huh?

While he did bother me, I still found some of his hijinks to be quite brilliant.  I loved the video of his Mother’s wedding and how he peed his pants.  I loved that he was unable to see that this day was NOT about him but that it was about Phyllis.  I mean come on, he was mad that the Father of the Bride upstaged him, who does that?  Michael Scott does that.

The episode started strong with the whole Pavlov’s Dog bit.  Dwight’s conditioning was quite hilarious.  Everytime Windows shut down he expected a Altoid.  Pretty funny stuff.

The JAM stuff was all over the place and for the most part I liked it.  I don’t like Jim playing both sides of the fence.  I don’t like that he’s totally in love with Pam but willing to still string Karen along knowing that in his heart of hearts, she means nothing.  His cell phone arena rock wave was almost out of pity not out of fun, excitement, or love.  Jim mentioning that Beesley’s fancy dance moves were cute really messed with Pam huh?

Before we knew it, she was dancing with her ex fiancé Roy and soon going home with him!  Wow.  I wonder if she was “actively not thinking about Roy” when they knocked boots that night?  Poor Pam.

I mean she walks into a wedding to find that Phyllis has basically used and copied her whole wedding idea.  The invitations are exactly the same including the monogrammed P & R on everything.  The flowers are the same.  Damn, even the dress is the same.  Though I gotta say, strapless on Beesley might not be the way to go.

She deserves the world and Roy’s willing to try and give it to her, too bad Halpert’s still playing games with her heart.  Roy’s slipping Kevin and the rest of Scrantonicity $20 to play his and Pam’s song (Jewel) was quite the gesture.   It’ll be interesting to see where they end up and whether or not Roy will be the one getting hurt.

Some of my other likes:

• Angela’s Jackie O Box Hat tribute outfit.
• Dwight’s Grandfather’s Burial Tux made another appearance.
• The whole “hypothetical” scenario
• Ryan knocking the bouquet across the room so that Kelly wouldn’t get it.  Smart move.

You read that correctly, I’ve finally caught up to the current episode of the way phenomonial SUPERNATURAL!  I truly find this show to be the successor to Buffy in that there are big bads every week but there is an underlying evil chasing down our Winchester boys.

There are some episodes (especially in Season 2) that are truly scary.  I’m a huge horror fan (not the crappy remakes out today but hardcore 70s and early 80s horror) and at times Supernatural really lives up to the jeepers creepers moments of my youth.

I heart Sam more than you’ll ever know.  I love that Tyra from Friday Night Lights is his dead and burned girlfriend and I hope she gets residuals every time they show her on that ceiling burning to death.  I’ve warmed to the idea of Dean as this tortured little boy trying to break free from the bonds of his youth and the burdens his being alive carries.  I’m super worried about the impending doom facing Sam and the impending promise Dean made if such impending doom really takes place (was that cryptic enough as to not spoil anyone but still give a shout out?).

In a word, Supernatural is SuperAmazing!

What?  I swear I must be sicker than I thought because I had no clue that Survivor was coming back tonight.  I’m always so torn as to watch or not to watch Survivor each season.  Last season’s racist island escapades made me not tune in and then I missed out on the dumb hotness that was JP Calderon.  We all know he came out of the closet recently so I wish I would have seen him starved and half naked for a couple months.  That’s all I’m sayin.

Now comes word that a contestant quit the day before filming?  Where the hell have I been?

Anyway, Probst and a bunch of newbies begin the game tonight and I think I might be all over it.  Let you know later.

I rose from my own sick bed to report the death of reality star Anna Nicole Smith.

At age 39, Anna collapsed at the Hard Rock Hotel in Seminole, FL and taken to the hospital where she died.

Seriously, not to be mean but is anyone not expecting the outcome to be some form of overdose?   I mean the last interview I saw with her and the leech Howard K. Stern shortly after the death of her son Daniel and the birth of her daughter screamed that she was completely out of it and way heavily medicated.  It’s sad that her life was so out of control.  I always kinda rooted for AKS.  I found her fascinating and her delusional lifestyle to be quite entertaining.  I mean, that show was a trainwreck and I would smack anyone that says differently.  Amazing television.

What will Bobby Trendy do?  What will Kimmie do?  Who will Howard K. Stern marry next?  What will that old man’s family do to get their money back?  Oh the drama has probably just begun.

LOST IS BACK BABY! It was an incredible hour of Lost last night wasn’t it? We got to see Kate and Sawyer escaping, being chased, being shot at, witnessing a psychodelic torture chamber straight out of A Clockwork Orange, and finally heading back to their island in a boat aided by the French Woman’s daughter after Juliet kills the still crazed Danny. And that was only one storyline folks!

The main focus last night was on Juliet Burke, the doctor in resident for The Others. I love the flashbacks, they are what makes Lost unique in its storytelling and Juliet’s backstory was nothing less that amazingly scary.

Juliet is from Miami; she was not born on the Lost island as Benry Gale seems to have been. She was a doctor doing clinical trials on field mice and was able to impregnate the male vermen. Oh yeah, she was also able to impregnate her very sick and probably dying sister Rachel (played by Robin Weigert).

Juliet was once married to Edmund Burke. Edmund is was a very dominant force and held most of the cards in the Juliet/Edmund relationship. Juliet was a very soft spoken, often meek woman before joining The Others. Juliet was recruited by a biotech company spokesman named Albert Hofmann. Intersting tidbit, in reality Albert Hofmann is the man responsible for creating LSD (which might explain poor Karl’s torture chamber – seriously).

(more…)

Finally, the whacky audition phase of American Idol is over.  That however doesn’t mean that the drama and the hilarity are over.  Far from it.  Every season, the “Hollywood” week is full of turmoil, heartache, and pain.   It’s like that Foreigner song.  Ah, Foreigner…

I’ve not written about the auditions much because in the past its been such a guessing game as to who will be the worst and who will be just okay but nothing really stood out for me this time.  I know there were some doozies (the Big Bird woman, the orgasmo, etc.) but I reserve my blog for the likes of Crazy Eyed Mary or Crazy Dave with the rolling eyes, or my personal fave (and yours, RHONETTA JOHNSON)!

I will just state that two of the contestants we met this week that were Hollywood bound are already out of the running.  Remember the cousins that lived together, one was funny and could roll with the punches and the other was pretty good?  Yeah, seems like pretty good cousin (Akron Watson) was once busted for possession of marijuana and he’s now out of the competition.

Next up on the bastardization block is the girl they hunted down and brought back this week because she makes those very “special” facial gestures as she sings and only Simon liked her but they Randy and Paula changed their minds.  Yeah, she’s probably gone as well. Seems that Ashyln Carr was taking a page out of the crazy book of exes when she poured some sugar in her ex-boyfriends gas tank.  Wow, she’s like a criminal.  WHAT?  This can get you kicked off?  It’s not like she paid a hitman to take another contestant out or anything.  But, if this girl stays in the competition, y’all better sleep with one eye open is all I’m sayin’.
