Night Two of TV!

The Event was ok-I will give it till midseason break unless it gets really stupid and then I give up. Tonight I am watching NCIS and NCIS: LA. NCIS was pretty good thankfully resolving the Gibbs Dad might die story line quickly. I have to say I am not sure how I feel about having the brother shot his sister, this makes Gibbs seem very very cold. I did enjoy Director Vance telling the brother that if he threatens his agents then he will hurt him. I'm on the fence about Director Vance so this won me over a little more. I'm a little bothered by how revenge bent the sister was due to the fact that her dad killed Gibbs wife and daughter. It's not like Gibbs just shot him down for the fun of it. We also were given The Unwritten Rule. 

This season on NCIS I am hoping for more character development. I hear rumor that Tony is going to be upset with Gibbs for killing the dad and this will cause him to grow more. Ziva's dad is on his way back for some reason and we see that Tony's dad called him for help. Will this be the season of dads? This episode did end with Gibbs helping his Dad reset up his store. 

Currently I am watching NCIS: LA while I type this and it has my attention but not fully-so far a decent episode but I have no love for Deeks. I pretty much watch this show for Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J and things blowing up. I mean who doesn't love pretty boys and explosives? Kenzie is very pretty and I do enjoy her and Hetty (who is Nathan's reason for watching the show). I will write about Deeks again at the end of the season and see if my feelings change for him. 

Tomorrow night I have Undercovers (new show!) and Criminal Minds (I can't watch this one to much due to how graphic and scary it is).

New TV!

This is the first tv season in 9 years that I haven't had a dvr and I only have basic cable-which means no recording/pausing tv. I will have to choose what to watch each night live (commercials! the horror!) and what to try and catch the next day. 

In some cases it depends on the network (cw (this website is horrid for watching things, multiple commercials and slow connection speeds. Which means good-bye to One Tree Hill, Hellcats, Life Unexpected and Nikita.) and cbs are not on hulu) and in a few cases it depends on the show. For example NCIS always wins out over anything else as well as Bones. This means no Big Bang Theory till the next day however. The other factor will be based on what I have heard about the episode. I love spoilers and spend the a lot of time on my favorite website (ew.com, tvguide.com, eonline.com) seeing what people have to tell me. 

Tonight How I Met Your Mother won out over Chuck (although I am watching the last half hour) and The Event won out over Mike and Molly and lone star. As for the 10 o clock hour we will be heading to bed so that means Castle, Hawaii five-0 and Chase will have to wait until tomorrow. 

I enjoyed How I Met Your Mother-we got a little closer to Ted's wife and I choose to believe that the wedding we saw was Barney's and Robin's. I feel the same way that Lily does about being able to have a baby-what if I can't? 

Tomorrow I will weigh in on what I think of The Event but for now my cat is laying on wrist looking at me with big eyes that say love me!

NCIS and Tea

I am procrastinating right now. I should be going to bed or working on my craft swap but instead I am watching Season 5 (About Face) of NCIS and drinking yummy tea. Nathan is doing the hulu in the kitchen for his cat and making me laugh. 

My craft swap is going to be really cool-my partner is from Australia and we have almost no shows in common other than Doctor Who. She likes old Doctor and I am a 10th Doctor girl. (What are your thoughts on 11th Doctor.) However I am watching some of her other shows thanks to youtube and they are kinda fun. Here are the items I am planning for her:

a tv tray with three of her favorite shows

a clock with images from Doctor Who 

two boxes with various images on them

other items I would like to make are;

a bag

coasters

pillowcases

placemats

We shall see how much time I have due to the fact that I am a procrastinator. I am also working on a quilt for a friend of mine that has been in the making for 2 years. I am printing out squares with photos of all her favorite tv characters on them and then adding borders of blue and brown brocade around them. I have finally finished the layout of all the sheets (a total of 82) and have started printing them. I am really excited about this project but nervous about how it will all turn out. I will post photos as soon as I have it started. 

Now I should go and head for bed before it gets much later. 

Sweet Dreams
