There has been an such an onslaught of new television this week I feel like its the fall and I love it. Although, judging by my 90% full DVR I should not be watching them. 4 new shows this week alone, even though TECHNICALLY one is just a new season of a ridiculous MTV reality show. Love it anyway.
The Unusuals - LOVED IT. Critics were saying that it was too quirky and the first episode spent too much time in character development demonstrating their quirks. I thought it was great! I loved the quirkiness and all the potential secrets they laid the floor for. It's starring Amber Tamblyn (who I love) and Harold Perrineau from LOST! Other people are in it too but I don't know who they are. Definitely will keep watching...that is until the EVIL ABC cancels it.
Southland - Didn't love it...I don't like the Cops like feel they used for filming, complete with beeped out swear words. I know they have some kinda of 'vision' going on for this show, I'm just not on board with it. I do LOVE the cast. Ben McKenzie (the O.C.), Shawn Hatosy, and Tom Everett Scott. The story line was okay. It didn't pull me in. Everyone else seems to love it. I just didn't. I'll give it a couple more episodes before I make a final decision.
Harper's Island - I found a great article on the show - 10 Tips for enjoying Harper's Island. Most of the other reviews I've read think the show sucks, but this one gave me hope! Again, I love the cast (complete with actors from Ugly Betty, Supernatural, Veronica Mars & One Tree Hill). The murder mystery gag seems intriguing, but I wasn't sure if 13 hours of hack-em-up is really a great idea. My decision: IT IS! I like it. Anyone else think the killer is TOTALLY that creepy little girl? do not like her at all.
Real World/Road Rules Challenge - is baaaaacck. With yet another season of ridiculous challenges and awesome drama (two guys already got kicked off for fighting....YES!.) Now, I am an avid hater of all things reality but I make my exception for the longest running reality TV show there is. The Real World and its spawn. I love these messed up people and their stupid issues. I love that there is still a guy on there from the 1ST SEASON of Road Rules. Like really?? You haven't found a real job yet?? And most of all I watch for BRAD. Who cares if he's engaged?? Hes still mine.
Before this week I was most excited for Southland (with the exception of Brad because who really isn't super happy whenever they get to see him) and that's what disappointed me the most. Who new? Guess you can't judge a show by its previews (or reviews).

The Unfortunate Case of the Toilet and the Cell Phone
On my break today from that hell I now call work, I threw my phone in my back pocket so I could walk downstairs and call Tatum. I stopped in the lady's room to pee before I went. I pulled down my pants to pee and PLOP! phone in the toilet. I grabbed it quickly before I could think about what I was doing. It was soaking wet and not working properly, as to be expected. Its sorta kinda working now...but the screen is still very fucked up. We'll have to see what tomorrow morning will bring...
And thats how my day went
