Vacation Over = Uber-Buzzkill

OMG...allow me a moment of silence as I pray for the lost feeling of nirvana that is the Aloha Spirit of Hawaii.

Luckily, I have found many ways to prolong the experience. I bought a really pricey and awesome body lotion on the island and now when I need a "hit of Hawaii" I sniff my forearm. It may look weird but I could be putting worse things up my nose, right? I also have dishes of shells spread all over my house, and bags of coconut and Hawaiian flavored coffee. Unfortunately, those edible souvenirs are not making it to the loved ones. We have eaten our weight in Kauai Kookies. YUMMERS. God forbid I find those in a store on the Mainland.

Well, what else is going on? I'll tell you what. It was such perfect timing to be out of tv land during the first week of the new Fall Season. I had so many hours of Tivo built up the box was smokin' when we came home. I think I heard it panting. My and my G man sat for literally 10 hours over the past 2 days and watched about 17 shows. No kidding. And here are my reviews.

1. The Office - FUNNIEST FUCKING SHOW ON TV. The first 1 minute 30 seconds is funnier than anything I've ever seen on that show. They blew it out.
2. DIRTY SEXY MONEY - How did they make Peter Krause more sexier than when he was on Six Feet Under? Don't know, don't care, it's 47 minutes in TIVO time of pure Eye Candy. Billy Baldwin is excellent even if associated with that f'd up family. This wins my vote as my favorite new show, although TIVO failed me in recording Gossip Girl, and Pushing Daisies hasn't started yet, so I may have to change vote.
3. Back to You - Kelsey Grammar's new show with Everybody Loves Raymond's Patricia Heaton: well, it's hard not to see Frasier and Deborah duking it out, really. Sort of weird. Very funny Fred Willard and the sweating news director is funny.
4. Grey's Anatomy - love it as always.
5. Chuck - haven't seen it but plan to start tivo'ing it.
6. Ugly Betty - probably my most favorite show (besides The Office) and it was really good.
7. Desperate Housewives - haven't watched it yet. Going right now.
8. Private Practice - haven't seen it either yet. It's on TIVO
9. Survivor China - pretty good peeps and one piece of eye candy that keeps me tuning in. Lots of boobs for the men folk.
10. "Til Death - love this show. really do. Joely Fisher is really awesome and the neighbors are really starting to pick it up.
11. Mad Men - best new show this summer...AMC ...hope you watched it. It's on DEMAND for Comcast peeps.
12. Curb Your Enthusiasm - same old funny shit. Larry's pretty nuts with the Black katrina victim family he is housing.

So, those are my top ten right now. I haven't seen finale of Top Chef yet, (this week is the end) AND I CAN'T wait. I hope the Jennifer Aniston Casey wins. Got the new Rascal Flatts cd this weekend. It's awesome, no shock there.

Well, if I dig up some more awesome Hawaii pics I'll let you guys in on it. Had a great time.

Mahalo!!!
