Lost with LOST

I refuse to postulate on this blog about what is going on on this show. I am way past theories, and having conversations with fellow Losties regarding the show. I think I'm actually getting depressed from it.

It is a show I like to watch alone now, in my bed under my covers. When people get on ichat and start chattering about what they think I get angry. I tell them "I don't care", 'Whatever", "Im not watching anymore!" But like a crack junkie too weak to stop, I go back to ABC every Tuesday at 9:00pm to have my mind messed with.

Unlike many viewers I didn't watch 3 or 4 seasons of Lost on DVD to catch up with the hype. I am a LOST original. I started watching season 1 right after it aired and have been watching in real-time. Meaning I have dedicated almost 6 years of my life to an unhealthy obssesion with being totally confused for a hour a week. Shamefully I have dragged countless people into this addiction with me. My poor fiance was never allowed to call me while Lost was on, so out of love and curisoity of what had me so hooked he began to watch 4 seasons all while studying for the NY Bar. One night he left it on while his brother was visiting from Portland and another one bit the dust.

One of the questions on my job interview for my current job was "Soo what do you watch on TV". As I ticked off the highlights and got to LOST I could see my interviewers eyes light up! It was totally a prerequisite to this job that you had to watch LOST and religously we gather around every morning after the show and speculate on what we think. But recently, I have been silent.

I am so annoyed!!!!

I mean I could go on for hours regarding the billions and billions of questions I have but I won't. Just suffice to say that I really doubt at the rate we are going that we will ever circle around to little things like polar bears and Walt's secret powers. We are just way too deep in the rabbit's hole. ABC and their extra annoying promos telling me "Questions will be answered" GO TO HELL ABC! They know exactly what they are doing jerking us along and all I can say if this ends in anyway like Dallas or The Sopranos, I'm burning something down!

I also have a bone to pick with Jack AND Sawyer. The are ALWAYS effin stuff up! Like for real you have been on the island for 3 years? Plus you travelled through time over a span of 40 years or something...Why do you keep throwing tantrums and questioning things? Obviously anything can happen! So please stop eating up precious episode time and plot advancement with your BS. I feel like punching Matthew Fox in the face!

OK RANT OVER..

PS I mean look how many people are in that picture!!! This is getting wayyyy out of hand..agreed?

Love,
MissKK

TV on DVD alert

Before spring finally shows its face, we might have a few more weekends where we just want to be lazy and watch some TV. There is a plethora of things to watch during the week, but for those of us who like a good DVD marathon, I HIGHLY reccomend Sons of Anarchy.

This show usually airs on FX which is a channel a lot of people skip over. But for YEARS has been putting out high quality, premium channel worthy content. Nip/Tuck, Damages, and The Shield are all FX originals and they are/were fantastic television (Nip/Tuck has jumped the shark but that's another post).

I had never heard of Sons of Anarchy until this past fall. My co-worker would religously recap every detail of the show to a friend who ALWAYS seemed to miss the original airing over the phone. I'm telling you this girl is better then pressing play on your DVR. Overhearing snippets about gangs, and gun-running, the IRA, prison. It sounded like a possible replacement for the void that The Wire had left. So on a recent trip cross country trip I decided to load up my iTunes and dig in....

Sons of Anarchy (SOA) features a motorcycle gang that fiercly protects, each other and their small town in Northen California. Through the various and elaborate illegal dealings of the motorcycle gang we the viewers are dragged deeper and deeper into a world where cops will look the other way and the rules of "the club" regin supreme even above one's family.

For the ladies, this is one that you can get your man into as well. It has enough grit and illegal acitvity that he will be sucked in for hours on end. If you watch Gangland with a dropped jaw you will love this show!

Season 1 and 2 are available on iTunes and on DVD

Just because Drake told you to do it...

OK people, I'm back...this had just been sitting in limbo never published...so I'll start off with something that has been on my mind for quite a few months!


Ladies and Gentlemen (yes there are some former Zima drinking men that this is addressed to as well)-

It all started off as fun and games but I have a SERIOUS concern for the massive amount of people I see acting like Moscato is a delicious, acceptable, EVERY occasion wine..IT IS NOT!


Some people are going to be upset about this as they sit at work dying to get to their large size Moscato on chill to "help them unwind" after their stressful workday. More power to you and please if you really enjoy drinking fortified dessert wine by the gallon that is great, but let's stop acting like this is some kind of symbol of status or better yet an acceptable drink of choice because we were told it was by the rapper Drake. No one knew what Moscato was until he decided it rhymed with the word "bravo". He also decided that it was meant to be consumed with lobster and shrimp, so it is now paired with some of our more gourmet meals.


I mean some people even think it can be cooked with:


RT @MR_NOFLAW Soo I'm steaming sum fish and I poured sum moscato in it 2 see what its gon 2 taste like...always experimenting in the kitchen


-via Twitter




Anyways this isn't meant to knock anyone's taste because I truly believe as people of color we have a penchant for sweet things (tea, kool-aid whatever) But I am just hoping we can put cheap Moscato and keep Moscato in the category it is (think Hypnotiq, Boone's Farm etc.) So please don't bring bottles as housewarming gifts or look for Sutter Home Moscato on the wine list (it wont be there!)


Thanks for listening,


Miss KK

Bitch*ss Nick Cannon just got handled!

I have one celebrity who I can't stand more than Brandy (that's a long story) it's Nick Cannon. Nick Cannon stood on neutral ground for the longest time in my mind until back in March when things went terribly wrong.

I was reading a blog that claimed that he was threatening Mariah's fans (her lambs) via email telling women that "he was a grown man" and that they could meet face to face or something to that effect. Another blog speculated that a blind item about a celebrity that really couldn't afford the wedding ring he had purchased was about him and Mariah Carey. Nick decided to actually give this silliness attention and addressed the blog in the comment section. He then proceeded to give his "haters" his email address so that if they had anything to say he could personally address them. Well...I didnt have anything important going on so I decided to write Nick an e-mail not hating, just letting him know where people were coming from with some of their issues with his current actions and petty back and forth with the general public

The email read as follows:

Hi Nick!

I just have a few things to say and these are not mean spirited at all I'm just saying... Before I begin I sincerely hope this is all a well orchestrated business move and you are in a deal with Bossip to push traffic to their site...cause if not posting their link on your page is just throwing away good money...but if you arent that savvy all that is below applies:

1) Its Bossip..it is not a credible news source, they just took a blind item from Page Six and speculated. That is what you are supposed to do after all. I think it is really silly of you to address this non sense, as you are just fueling the fire.

http://www.nypost.com/seven/03162009/gossip/pagesix/just_asking_159789.htm There is the link you asked for. So no they aren't totally fabricating stuff...google would have helped you find that just like it aided me.


2) "Ridiculous! I just got like 3 new major multi million dollar deals in the last 2 months."
-Nick Cannon


No Nick the ridiculous one is you...celebrities with multi million dollar deals and real jobs, don't have the time to do ALL that you are doing. They have assistants post some generic twitters, upcoming appearances and then they keep it moving. For someone with such a happy marriage and such a successful career you sure do spend alot of time on the Internet addressing issues.

3) You have been in the game WAY too long to care what people are saying. Please keep your personal business and finances just that...PERSONAL. You are coming across as trying to stay relevant via silly tactics rather then through legitimate work.

4) Nick finally it is important that you realize that not everyone is a "Hater" (your favorite word) while I'm sure your inbox is flooded with nonconstructive criticism, I just hope that you are able to read some of the suggestions and open your heart to them. I honestly had to take a moment to write to you because you are looking like a "bitchass" right now. Black woman to Black man I would like you to maintain some shred of dignity this week so I just thought I would let you know.

Ok Hun get back to work (on something that's putting money in your pocket)

-Miss KK

Well...In less then 24 hours, I got an email back. Now I choose to believe this wasn't REALLY Nick but who knows, even still the fact that you might have an assistant or intern trying to punk us regular people on your dime still makes it just as bad if you had inked this yourself:

With all due respect Miss KK (yes this negro used my NAME) , It boggles my mind that you would imply because I am on the internet frequently that 1, I am not running my companies and working and 2, I am not focusing on my marriage. It's called mastering time management and multi tasking. I function on 20 hour days, not sure if you understand that. And as I know that I don't have to reply to websites or even people like you but there is a method to my madness.

So anyways...Nick Cannon is on my badside for being the whackest person walking the face of this earth. What saddens me is that I love love love Mariah and he is bringing her stock WAY down. In fact, he has talked her into doing something that she should have never done, like making a video in which she claimed that Eminem was "Obsessed" with her. Well apparently the history of all that was that they used to sleep together prior to her marriage. BIG MISTAKE on her part because now that she opened the flood gates Eminem is spilling the beans. He is targeting Mariah hard and Nick is definitely caught in the crossfire. I am soooo looking forward to my favorite bitch*ss defending against THIS:

Sidenote poor Mimi..I still love you girl!!!

President Obama has jokes too!!!

You have to listen closely but he is going on those losers too!!!

Tee Hee Hee...Nationals Edition

As a former employee of Washington Nationals Franchise, I like to keep up with how they are doing. However don't get confused the Yankees will win the World Series this year and I will repost this prediction. GO YANKEES!

Anyone who is a baseball fan or who lives in the D.C. area knows that this team is a HAWT MESS! They go out on the field with the name on their uniform spelled wrong. They blow EVERY lead like its their job and they refuse to make any changes! Complacency is NOT the answer

Anyways, I left those suckers in the dust. My name had to remain pristine, not only is the product poor but so is the business model. Two years out and I still get a chuckle out of all the fails and now courtesy of this blog so will you. I will be featuring some of the epic fails and the utter misery of the baseball fans of the DC area from here on out.

Let's being with Austin Kearns "slide"

You might want to say he tripped, but to me if you are hardly making it on base the very least you can do is stay on your feet at such a crucial moment in the game. Plus doesn't he look postively confused and frightned in the pickle..LMAO poor AK!!!

So that's all to say, you couldn't GIVE these tickets away. But we can continue to watch clips like this for free and giggle. There will be plently more to come TRUST ME!

UMMM yea...no

There is nothing to say about this at all...it speaks for itself..

Ron Artest's tribute to Michael Jackson:

The Lakers have a real winner on their team now!

Has anyone else...

Watched that first episode of Glee multiple times???!!!

I cannot wait for this show to air! Fox knew they had something to be able to play ONE episode and then keep us waiting all summer long for the rest. I promise it's addicting.

If you haven't seen it check it out:



The series will start to air Wednesday, September 16th 9:oopm EST...but seriously I can't wait that long!!

Hulu Desktop & Amazon on Demand

I know I'm not putting anyone onto anything new with Hulu. But what I think alot of us are missing out on is the wonderfulness that is Hulu desktop. It allows you to use Hulu without going through your browser and I think the design of the site is so much fun. For those of us who are tech savvy (not me) you can hook up your computer to your TV with an HDMI cable and the quality is just like watching it on the channel it airs on. If your computer has a remote you're all set, you never have to get up from the couch. It will make you think twice about paying the cable bill (although I'm not ready to give up the premium channels).

Another thing I discovered is Amazon on Demand. This comes in handy when you are sitting at work on twitter and EVERYONE is still talking about how Nene on Housewives got all up in Kim's grill. Unfortunately that work happy hour last night turned into a 5 hour drinking disaster and you missed it.You go to Bravo.com and of course they don't have all the episodes, just boring clips and no matter where you google you just cannot find last night's episode.

Amazon on Demand to the rescue!

For a small fee, usually less then $2 you can be up on the latest in no time rather then trying to pin down some illegal or shady version of an episode. You must be saying why is this different then itunes? Well its sooo much better than itunes because not only can you download the video to watch anywhere, the video will also stream, meaning you don't have to wait for that sometimes long download that happens with itunes. You can also access your video from any computer by logging onto your Amazon account, there is no need to worry about how many authorizations you have left.

currently the download option is not available on Macs (hmm go figure) but a solution is probably being worked out

Michael Jackson Extravaganza

I'm just going to go ahead and say it. My lil heart must look like the Grinch's because I'm just not wrapping my head around this whole Michael Jackson lovefest going on around me.

Currently, I am sitting here listening (not by choice) to my coworker playing EVERY Michael song on his earphones.

Before I launch into my rant, I'd like to go ahead and say for all the people who will try to label me, I have excellent and diverse taste in music, I don't have anything against him for the child molestation charges (anymore) and I am NOT a hater. That all being said...

YA'LL need to stop!!

Some of ya'll are being absurd. I've ridden in many a car and been in many a club with some of you people and you weren't flipping through your ipod to get to your favorite MJ song, nor were your running to the DJ booth to request "Man in the Mirror".

There is only one person I know who when they played Michael at the end of the night in the college bar got TRUE enjoyment out of it (you know who you are Miss), the rest of us were busy trying to get to the pizza spot or Wawa.

So when my coworker (the same one drowning their sorrows in the music right now) jumped up to tell me Michael had a heart attack last week, I felt concerned obviously. I also knew that there would be some interesting news unfolding when I got home from work that day. Unfortunately things turned out for the worse and I was immeadiately saddened for the loss of life. I can certainly remember new Michael Jackson videos after the super bowl and my mom introducing me to her childhood "boy band" the Jackson 5. However that is where my reminiscing stopped. What has transipred over the past week amongst the general public is just not something that I can comprehend.

There are people getting Michael Jackson tattoos, people listening to him on repeat, people throwing themed parties. I mean the music has been around for 20 plus years yet this man was holding onto to some of his last assets to keep him afloat. Noone was holding up his music the way they are all of sudden now that he has passed. People were scrambling for Beyonce tickets, begging Jay-z not to retire, but I don't recall ever having a conversation about when Michael was coming out with a new album and I for one don't know anyone who had one of the tickets for the 50 concerts. Yet, now everyone is Michael's biggest fan.

I find it to be really disingenuous and EXTRA how some people are acting. You are not obligated to let us now that you are crying or can't leave the house or don't want to go to work today because Michael Jackson passed away. I know its the cool thing to do but I for one will still accept you if you are real with yourself. By all means miss the man, enjoy the music occasionally, watch the concert extravangaza today online instead of doing real work (cause I will be), but all this other crap has to stop.
