So the other night, Amanda and I were lying in bed, watching an episode of Rachel Ray’s “30 Minute Meals,” killing time. I realized Rach’s show is perfect for a drinking game, though looking at this Google search, I’m not the only one to have this realization. This is really preliminary, but here are the initial and basic rules of our 30 minute meal drinking game:
Every time Rachel says, “EVOO” (extra virgin olive oil), drink.
Every time Rachel talks with both hands, drink.
Every time Rachel refers to her husband, drink.
Any time Rachel says, “Delish!,” drink
Every time Rach uses a nonsense word, drink – “yummo,” “delic,” etc. come to mind.
Every time Rachel Ray says, “Worcester-sheer-shire sauce”, drink.
When she talks about any kind of “action,” drink
A single episode should get you tipsy. If you want to be really drunk, add in a drink every time she talks with a single hand.
I’ve been pretty underwhelmed with Time Warner’s lack of HD content in Raleigh-Durham market since we switched to them. The main reason we left DirecTV was that they were turning their backs on TiVo. Well a press release this morning might mean eventually the Keefer household will return to DirecTV… maybe.
Regardless, I’m always happy to see advances from TiVo, or at least potential for more market share.
This sounds like a no brainer for the good part of the population out there who have three things: a Netflix subscription, an Xbox 360 and a PC running Windows Vista. Luckily, we fall into that category and I’m going to try to get this setup in the next couple days, or possibly this weekend.
We already stream video content from the Mac to the Xbox 360 via Connect360.
Man, I gotta say, I was a bit nervous coming into the game, but Carolina went into Duke’s house and played a pretty good game. With that win, we’ve won 3 straight at Cameron Indoor Stadium! I think the Heels had more blocks in that game than any other one this season by leaps and bounds – just wish we had capitalized a bit better on some of those throughout the game. In the end though, our defense and some key shots won it for us. Danny Green, as per usual as of late, hit some of those key shots.
TCongrats to the Heels for becoming the Regular Season ACC Champs. That’s another banner to hoist for the Heels. Hopefully, we’ll have a couple more to hoist before the Heels stop playing basketball this year. I love this time of year, especially when my Tar Heels are #1 in the nation going into post-season play!
So we’re sitting here watching last night’s American Idol and for the second show in a row, I’m bored to tears. I’m just not engaged this year one iota. None of the contestants are standing out to me. There’s not a single contestant I’d waste my time and effort to call in and vote for! The bickering between the three judges is tired. Randy is lame. Paula is incomprehensible, and… well I usually agree with still. Plus, I’m so tired of Fox dragging the show out night after night *and* Fox’s shameless self-promotion and product placement.
So anyway, I’m bored with the show and I think Amanda’s getting there too. I’m this close to cancelling TiVo’s season pass. The show’s run its course. They ignited the careers of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry. Now it’s time to close the curtain on the show.
Added Comments (Amanda): Yeah, I am totally done with American Idol. I was so frustrated and utterly bored last night with the performances, lack of talent, the bickering between the judges, the goofy youthfulness of the contestants… the whole thing was annoying and old. They’ve worn out their welcome for sure. Long gone are the days of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry.
Chris Berman went ballistic off the air. I would have never thought he had this in him, but man, does he go off. The best part is the first couple seconds where he can’t even finish a sentence he’s so pissed.
You definitely can see tumbleweeds floating across our TiVos, majorly due to the writers’ strike. Typically, we’d be knee-deep in new primetime shows to watch in the evenings – “Prison Break”, “24,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice,” “Smallville,” etc. to name a few. Instead, we’re scrounging for things to watch most nights.
We have started watching “Holmes on Homes” (no it’s not a porn!) and “It Takes a Thief”, but they get old, and it looks like “It Takes a Thief” is defunct now too. I don’t mind more Xbox 360 time, but Amanda does.
This is amazing, and an amazing amount of work to film and composite this all. Basically, three guys wanted to recreate a landing scene, but it was literally the three of them. So they filmed themselves, the props, effects, etc. all by themselves and then did a bunch of compositing to come up with a pretty cool scene. “Saving Private Ryan” eat your heart out.
