Oh my goodness!!! How much do I love the tv show "Friday Night Lights"?!?!?!?! Well, a hell of a lot more than any words can express, that's for dang sure!
growing up in a small town in texas makes it easier to relate to the football-centered plotlines, but this show has more depth, feeling, emotion and real-ness than anything you're going to find out there.
The promos when it came out last fall were lame, making it look like some cheesy high school sex farce with jocks and cheerleaders. yes, there's sex...but it's not a major plotline, for the most part. just like real high school, there's a lot more going on than just pretty people having sex.
SET YOU CALENDARS...DO WHATEVER COOL THING THERE IS TO DO WITH TIVO....JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE THERE FOR THE NEXT SEASON!!
Rent the first season to get caught up. I promise, it's one of the very, very few scripted shows on television that's worth watching. It's like a little movie each week. It all starts Friday, Oct. 5.
This clip is not the best quality, but it's pretty good to show how the show works. Each week (i think) there's a football game to prepare for and play. Just like in real-life, the clip starts off fun and exciting...as each play progresses, the tension, music and direction get more and more frenzied. I swear watching it takes me back to sitting in those bleachers, then standing and holding my breath, praying for the perfect throw, catch, run, whatever it took. SO wonderful.

This show is hanging on by the skin of its teeth. Watch it, love it, tell a friend!
(yes, i'm a geek for this show!)

The C List 1-3
You know how Oprah has all those things she showcases in her magazine on the "O" list or whatever? Gorgeous, tiny candles for $50, crackers made from saffron and rose petals in a thai orphanage...
Well, I think I can come up with a similar list...on a more modest budget. :)
Today, my #1 favorite thing is the Hanky Panty. They're one size fits all, so no stress about sizes. They're all elastic lace, so they're super comfy, but look feminine. They're thongs, but I swear they're comfy. LOVE em. Only thing is, I caught an unfortunate glance at myself in the mirror this morning and my ass in that lace thong looked like I was trying to strain cottage cheese through a lace curtain. SCARY!
Another love of my life (which, I'm sure contributes to the cottage cheese ass i'm luggin around) is the 100 calorie Hershey snack treat of chocolate covered wafers. VERY much like Kit Kats, but with less guilt. Gotta stick to just 1 packet (2 bars) at a time.
#3 favorite thing is the magazine "Ready Made". It's all about reusing household stuff in fun, creative ways. Not that I'll actually ever do any of it, but I'd like to know how you can take a pair of old-man "slacks" and turn them into a yoga mat bag. Sure doing it yourself only costs $12, but it involves 17 steps!! Shoot, I can drive my cottage cheese ass to Target and get a brand new bag for the same price. AND it wouldn't have that old man smell!
So there you have it. 3 fun things that I just love today. Tomorrow is another day with even more things to love...
p.s. i don't buy that owen wilson was so distraught over losing that ninny Kate Hudson that he'd try to kill himself. i blame drugs and too much ass-play. and that's THAT! mystery solved.

Love this site!
OMG!!! I just got back from bookclub and this woman had a GREAT resource for happy hour!!
So far this site is only for a few cities (Portland, Seattle, Dallas and a couple other random places nobody cares about), but check it! So you click on your city and then your neighborhood and it tells you all the different places with happy hours, but the cool thing is it tells you the places with happy hours RIGHT NOW, THIS VERY MINUTE! Cool! For instance, at 10:15 pm in Portland, in my neighborhood there are 7 places with happy hours: 4 have beer specials, 3 have food specials, 1 has a wine special, and 1 has specials on food/beer/wine/cocktails! Suh-weet!
Too bad i'm on my bed, in my jammies and watching tv!
ok, go check it out!
