A Little Bit of Randomness: Come September
Spoiler alert! OK, not really, but while most of our significant others are disappearing into int the vast black hole of footballsville, it frees up some valuable time for us gals for guilty TV pleasure - all the yummy season premieres of our fave and soon-to-be fave shows, the cliffhangers for our summer yummies and pretty much all new episodes for almost every show abounds.
I'm an admitted TV addict and watch too much tube-age. Name almost any TV show brainy or trashy and I've watched at least one episode. Even the hideously plain-ole bad shows, I've seen it (Jerseylicious, Pretty Wild, My Antonio, Bad Girls Club, Kendra, Flavor of Love ... been there, done that, did gag a little). I've spent almost entire weekends with old re-run marathons of Top Chef, Project Runway, Real Housewives (any other season than DC - I cannot stand them!) on the TV in the background. And we recently upgraded our cable package and it now includes the HBO channels so I've been experiencing way too much sofa time this past week.
I guess I am a TV grazer though because my actual fave to-go shows that I try not to miss are few: No Reservations, Rachel Zoe Project, Jersey Shore (I know ... but I can't help it - they're hilarious. GTL, baby!) Everything else just gets scanned.
September TV has been a bad month so far for me, though, and I've spent too much time watching the randomness. My version of the rundown so far of the boob tube activities? Nikita fights the Division, Chuck is alive, Katherine kills Caroline (or does she?), Sookie floats off with some fairies, Bourdain eats up Madrid, maybe baby Dan, cheerleading rules, Nene's husband has done her wrong, Jackie boot camp, Angelo cough hack, Snooki and Paulie smooshed, Zoe's turkey is bananas, the class of 2000 is considered old now?!, Damon kinda kills Jeremy, cheerleading sucks, Jesus is a witch, Paris dunkage, sewing drama rama, The Situation eats a sammi, everything, everyone, everybody ... la, la, la ...
What are your favorite guilty TV pleasures? What have you thought about all the recent season openers and finales for your fave shows?
Muchos thank yous for the lovely E Hayes for the fabulous topic recommend!

A Little Bit of Randomness: Look Again
If you haven't had a chance yet, take a peek through the Looking into the Past Flickr pool. I've seen bits and pieces from this collection posted on one or two other blogs and I thought I'd share some of them with you lovely ladies. You can also join the photo pool and add your own images.
The concept is very smart and the images are very nostalgic and faintly ghostly. Here are some of my favorites:

A Little Bit Of Randomness: Be Your Own Hero
Thanks to Netflix, I have become a total movie addict. BF and I do movie night at least once a week (at the famous Theatre a la Maison, seating only available pour deux) and together we'll watch almost everything.
However, BF usually stays away from "chick flicks," so it took a little convincing for him to want to watch Whip It ("it's not a chick flick, honey, it's an action film with mostly girls in it, like Tank Girl, really"). If you haven't seen it yet, Whip It is an awesome film about Austin roller derby starring the likes of Ellen Page, Drew Barrymore and Kristen Wiig.
The fabulous Audrey reminded me about this movie on her blog and it got my mind wandering about some of the things I enjoyed best about it - including those awesome roller derby names, of course! Where else in life would a gal be able to swing around names like Babe Ruthless, Eve of Destruction, Iron Maven or Smashley Simpson?
Well I think all ladies should have kickass alterna-names at the ready for when they need to dig into something and really bring it. I found a couple of sites with name generators that can help you out here and here or see a rollcall of actual derby girl names here for inspiration.
I wasn't creative enough to think of my own name so got some help and ended up with Cuckoo Chanel (because I love fashion, and if you had seen me play lacrosse in college, cuckoo fits).
What would your ass-kickin' (roller derby) name be?
