Just gotta love Friday Night Lights
While drinking tea this morning I read an article in last month’s Cosmo about the five most dangerous places for women nowadays. 1. Parking lots (obviously!) 2. Cabs (Didn’t know that) 3. Streets on your way home (goes well with point one) 4. your car (always lock your doors!) and 5. at home (where I feel totally safe now) read more at www.cosmopolitan.com or borrow my copy. I’m actually very aware of above mentioned potential dangers and was already following almost all of the rules that they advise you to follow in that article. I think you should always be careful, conscientious and aware. You might consider it a waste of precious time or feel that people might make fun of your cautiousness or ridicule you (I have experienced the latter myself) but at the end of the day it’s our life we’re talking about and I never want to be in the situation were I tell myself “if only I’d been more careful” or “I shoulda done that…”. This doesn’t only apply to personal safety but also to other aspects in your day-to-day life. If people in your environment choose to be negligent or incautious about certain things it doesn’t mean that you have to be yourself and I tend to fight people on certain subjects but if they adhere to their opinions then drop it and let them make their own decisions.
Okay enough of my life wisdom for today. Whats new on the TV horizon?
Friday Night Lights gets better every week. “Let’s get it on” was just excellent. I loved the home scenes between Eric and Tamy. Connie Britton is so amazingly hilarious (I know I’m repeating myself). It’s also highly appreciated that Matt actually had lines that consisted of more than four words when 1. he told the coach how he and the team felt about him leaving Dillon and heading off to TMU and then coming back and expecting everyone to celebrate his return 2. he cancelled the date with Julie and informed her that he would not jump when she suddenly decided to want him back. You go Matt! There isn’t really anything to criticize about this episode. The writers just created the perfect scenes and even gave questionable plots like the “dead assaulter brings Landry and Tyra together and therefore makes Landry’s father suspicious storyline” the required depth. And last but not least how can you not love Lyla’s character. Excellent acting and a load of chemistry, tension and everything during the scenes of Lyla, Tim and Jason in Mexico.
Greys Anatomy’s “Kung-Fu Fighting” had a lot of the old Greys’s spark back. Shanna on the TV-Cocktail gives a fine description on this episode. How brilliant were the 3 attendings and the Chief together? They could cancel Private Practice and create a Spin-Off with Hahn, Webber, Steamy and Dreamy and we would be having the best time ever watching it. It’s also nice to see “pretty and prettier” (Dr. Hahn called Shephard and Sloan that) getting along again.
And reading the NY Times yesterday I found this article about the WGA strike explaining the content of the strike, the demands of the writers (which in my opinion are totally justified) and the consequences a strike similar to the one in 1988 could have for the industry. I seriously hope both sides don’t let it go too far.
So gotta get back to work now. Bye for now!

What can I say? Moving sucks! I have just completed a major Office/Home moving ordeal which I wouldn’t have managed without my entourage who have helped me where they could. Thanks again to y’all! The worst part was that my internet and telephones were temporarily offline which made me feel like an alien. Oh pardon me, there was an even worse part: I wasn’t able to watch my shows for about a week and am still catching up on the recordings. There was just no time. I’m still really exhausted so that I will merely make a few comments that have been flying around in my head during the last days:
