Glamour Magazine

Tomorrow I am taking the train to New York and I will be reading my favorite magazine, Glamour. It’s the April edition with Kate Winslet on the cover. I love her. She is a great actress and seems approachable.  I’ve been saving it since I received it two weeks ago which was extremely hard for me. I love Glamour magazine and immediately give it a once over when I receive it. I have a magazine ritual

Look at last page first

Start at the beginning and absorb each page

Read small articles

Start at the beginning again

This time read all articles of interest

The End

For me to receive my favorite magazine and not even look at the last page is a biggie for me. I’ve been reading Glamour since my teenage years. It is very inexpensive and you get your moneys worth. Glamour feeds my fashion, current events, book reviews, music reviews, celebrity, medical, and world news appetite. This couch potato reporter is looking forward to taking her show on the road, kicking back on the train and reading my magazine. Until then pick up a Glamour magazine, you won’t be sorry.  

Bait Car

Bait Car airs on Tru TV on Monday’s at 8pm est. time. Not this Monday as the NCAA tip off show is airing.

Bait Car is about an undercover car sting, where police officers wire a car with video and sound. They cause a ruse and leave the car running in a high crime area. Then they sit back and wait to see who will be dumb enough to jump in and drive off. You will be shocked to see the different kind of people who steal the cars; grandmas, crackheads, gansta's, even a mom and son duo. To hear them plotting, smiling while they drive away and then the cops turn off the car is fucking hilarious. These fucking morons go from smiling to frowning real quickly. They all claim innocence until they are told about the Bait Car sting. To watch these stupid ass criminals commit their crimes in front of police officers, who tape the whole mess is great realty TV.

Wild Case Files

Wild Case Files airs on National Geographic Channel Monday’s 9 pm est. time. Three stories are told in each episode.

Wild Case Files shows the freaking shit that animals can do. They show everything from giant spider webs covering trees, exploding toasts, fifty thousand dead flamingos, blind kangaroos, lions having seizures (that was sad) and on and on. They show interviews with scientist, witnesses and experts in every possible field. It’s so intriguing and disgusting. I like how they wrap each investigation in a nice bow by recapping the evidence and solving the mystery. If you love the animal kingdom as much as I do, give this show a watch.

The Sartorlist Blog

The Sartorlist is a fashion blog by Scott Schuman in New York. He takes pictures of people on the street in New York and around the world that he finds interesting. I read his blog once a week to check out the cool and funky outfits. If you’re looking for fashion inspirations check it out.  

Disappeared

Disappeared is on the Investigative channel on Monday’s at 9:00pm est. time.  The show tells the story of people who disappeared.

They show interviews from family, friends, police and they create reenactments. These people are from all walks of life. Men, women and whole families disappear, poof, gone, vanished. What the fuck? What happened to these people? Where are they? Who took them? Did they leave on their own? The questions are endless. The show tells as many details but it’s never enough to solve the mystery. I am most in intrigued with the families that go missing. One person is scary enough but a whole family. How can a whole family go missing? That is frightening. I told my husband that I want a GPS installed inside my foot, so if I go missing he can find me. Dead or alive. When I watch this show I always think about Jaycee Lee Dugard who was kidnapped for eighteen years and had babies by her kidnapper. That shit still blows my mind. Eighteen motherfucking years she can not get back. Are any of these people being held against their will? This show is so good it pops into my head several times a week. Because somebody, somewhere knows something. People who do not have a reason to disappear usually do not.

I sympathize with the families and can't image the pain they are feeling. Some many question left unanswered and they may never be answered. I hope one day they can have an update show. I definitely recommend you watch this show. You may see someone who disappeared.

Harry's Law

"I think I became terminal in my late 40’s. Nothing the doctors could find, you couldn’t see it on an x-ray, but I was dying. Being put to death quietly, systemically, by routine. I finally died last year."  Harriet Korn, Harry's Law

Harry's Law is on NBC on Monday's at 10pm est. time. The above quote was the very first words I heard as I watched my first episode of Harry's Law. I am not in my 40's but I knew exactly what she meant and I was hooked immediately. I could not get enough and had to watch previous episodes and DVR all future episodes. The main character is the brilliant Oscar winner Kathy Bates who plays a fired patent attorney, who begins her own practice. Her office is in a shoe shop managed by her assistant, she has a young lawyer and previous drug addict as paralegal. Oh, the shoe shop is in the ghetto. The cast is superb and the acting is phenomenal. The show is created by Emmy award-winning writer/ producer David E. Kelley. So nothing but the best is produced. My co-worker suggested I watch and I am very happy I did.  It's definitely my favorite drama.

The above quote was the beginning of the show and the below quote was the ending.  I have never heard words from a television show that I wanted to quote, but these words rang of truth to me. For thought provoking good TV give it a view!!

"The thing about routine, when it kills you it doesn't have to be forever.  If you can just get rid of it and the hazy blur that goes with it. Life can come back. With all it's glory, its pain, oh how it can come back"  Harriet Korn, Harry's Law

 

Taking on Tyson

Taking on Tyson is on Animal Planet on Sunday 8pm est. time. The show is about former Champion Boxer Mike Tyson learning how to race pigeons. Tyson competes with other pigeon racers. The show gives you an insight into pigeon racing. Taking on Tyson shows you how well the pigeons are treated. The pigeon racers are committed and dedicated to the pigeons. The birds are dropped off up to 500 miles from their home and some how when they are released, they begin to fly home. Very exciting to watch their journey. This is definitely good realty TV.

BTW: I respect Peta's work but I disagree with them protesting Taking on Tyson. The pigeons are not mistreated. That does not mean there are not assholes who mistreat their pigeons. There is bad in all good things.
