Last Sunday was the MTV awards for Video Music Awards. My hubby caught me watching it before I went to bed ( I just wanted to see if Brittney won anything–3 awards which I think she did deserve–she’s come a long way). He was confused that it was the Video Music Awards because he wasn’t aware that MTV showed music videos anymore. Right now I am watching VH1 Top 20 countdown, so I am aware of that they still do show videos, just not at prime times that people would watch them.
Speaking of the VMA’s, the jokes about promise rings were funny. I think when Jordin Sparks spoke up about them, she needed to take a chill pill. When I was growing up, I wouldn’t look towards NKTOB, Britney, Madonna, etc for my choices. I do not understand why the celebrities sex lives are our business. Especially when they are kids, just like us. To me, it seems like a PR stunt to voice their intentions. But that’s just me.

Ever since we got the Wii, every few weekends, Andy and I have been renting some games from Family Video. We want to get a feel for some games before we buy them. One game we seriously are going to buy (hopefully tomorrow with my birthday money) is Wii Game Party. This CD contains a bunch of games like darts, shuffleboard, hoop shot, skill ball (skee ball), Ping Cup (Beer Pong), air hockey, and trivia. Andy and I spent about 4 hours playing it last night. The dart game is really like playing darts–I even shoot the same. If I aim at the 1, I still get a 20 or 18. Each time you earn a certain amount of tickets, you get to more characters, or more choices of boards or balls or darts. I love the Wii, I just need to figure out how to hook it up the wireless routerso I could get more Miis. The best thing about this game is the odd characters and costumes–Andy loves the pirate, I love the mummy girl. Best thing is the game is only $19.99 at Best Buy. Guess where we are going tomorrow morning!

I don’t know why, but I really like to watch the history channel. Somehow they can make the history of anything interesting. While I should have been getting ready for a wedding today, I got distracted by “All about Dung.” Yes, the history of crap. It actually was pretty interesting. There is a muesum of toilets! I guess the French had toilets designed as a pile of books. Books by English authors, no less, so that when a frenchman went to the bathroom, they were crapping on the English. It was a 2 hour show, and it kept me very intrigued. It kind of makes me want to see what else the History Channel has to show me.

I feel so wrong and so dirty after watching “The Moment of Truth”, but it’s like a bad car accident, I can’t turn away. When I first heard the premise for this show–a person takes a lie detector test and then goes in front of the world to answer the questions–I said no way would I watch that. But for some reason, I kind of like to see how far people will go for money. They will be truthful–but may end up hurting themselves or one of their loved ones along the way. The last one we saw, the woman walked away with $100,000 but not before telling her father he ruined her childhood, that’s he’s untrustworthy and she’d never marry a man like him. Also, she told her best friend, that truthfully he would never make it in the music business–which he said she has never said anything like that before. It is quite sad how many people will ruin lives for money. Trust me, you will not see me on that show.

Growing up, since I remember listening to the radio Star 98 in Wisconsin has had Totally 80′s Weekend all weekend until Monday at like midnight. All 80′s music all the time. Today while listening to some of my favorite 80′s songs, I came to a realization. Pretty soon its going to be a 90′s weekend. That is when I think I will feel old. I have always called the music my mother listens to oldies, but I don’t want to know how it feels if younger people start calling the music like NKTOB or Boyz to Men as oldies music.

You know what I’m talking about–American Idol. Last night, I enjoyed David Cook a lot more than David Archueleta. Yes, I agree DA has better vocals, but David Cook has a lot more personality. I think David A is just too nice, its not natural. I feel like he’s acting. David Cook seems to be real. I almost wanted to through my laptop at the screen when Simon told David A that he probably won. That probably would not be a good idea, I would I have to get a laptop rental until I got the laptop fixed! I almost don’t want to watch the results tonight. But I am amazed I actually watched from start to finish. No matter who wins, I think they both will get contracts. So I guess it really doesn’t matter.

How many people watched How I Met Your Mother last night? I was soooo excited for the new Robin Sparkles video, but I wasn’t expecting the ending to the show. Well, maybe I was. Barney and Robin hooking up is something I had heard may happen, but still was really odd to see. I did like the revertgo issue they brought up. When you hang out with someone you knew a long time ago, you revert back to that behavior. It is actually true to a point. At least with my friends and I, it is true. I look forward to seeing where they go from here with the show. I doubt they will seriously link Robin and Barney. As I sit here, all I can hear in my head is “Sandcastles in the Sand.”

I spent last Saturday cleaning up my MP3 player. I figure if I always fast forward to get to another song, its time to delete it from my player. I decided to put “Voices Carry” by Til Tuesday. For the longest time, I thought the words were “hush hush, keep it down now, this is scary.” I never knew the name so now that I do “hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry” makes a lot more sense. It’s funny what people confuse for what the actual words were. My brother in law thought that Stabbing Westerward’s “How can I exist without you” was “How can I have sex without you.” Have you confused the words of a song?

Stanley Kamel, Dr. Kroger from Monk, has died. According to the article I read stated he was only 65 and died of a heart attack. I am saddened by this. That is so young to die. He was a great actor. I wonder what Monk is going to do. Are they going to just recast the character or are they going to just write him out of the show? I forgot that he played the father of Rebecca Gayheart’s character in Beverly Hills:90210. I didn’t like his character on that show. But yet again, I did not like Dylan with anyone other than Brenda.

Tonight on Dateline, was a very sad story. It was about 2 girls who were in a car accident and the wrong was declared dead for over 1 month. They go through the weeks of each family and what they are feeling. It almost makes me want to grab for wipes. It really brings tears to my eyes when I think about burying a child and grieving and then finding out they are alive or the other family that thought their daughter was alive for over a month and sat bedside everyday every hour, never leaving her alone. You want to be happy, but yet you are sad at the same time.
I also realize I am working too much when I think about how much of an insurance issue that will be trying to sort out who pays what.
