Marshmallow Eating


This has to be one of the funniest YouTube videos I've ever seen. According to the description, it's a Japanese game show. I'm not sure what the object of the game is, but it sure is entertaining to watch!

life isn't like television. im home for the weekend but for whatever reason dont feel like i live here anymore. when people ask me where home is this is where i call home but now that im back i feel out of sorts.

i used to associate this feeling with growing pains (not the show, the actual feeling), such that now that im growing up and moving into a new stage of my life i physically and emotionally feel different. on tv they make it seem like everything is normal once the main character goes home, like nothing has changed. but what hollywood cant portray is the feeling that everything HAS changed. the character has changed. his or her attitude and perspective on life has changed and to go back simply cannot be accomplished if he/she is going back to live the life he/she used to. everything is different.

in this state of being its comforting to know that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever even if our mortal world is constantly evolving. memories are made and adventures are experienced, but unlike an episode tv, once it is over you cant just rewind and watch it exactly the same. life always changes and moves and changes and moves you.

anyway, those are my thoughts for tonight on how cougar student life relates to television =]

Top Five TV Shows

There is such a variety of shows on TV today it was hard to choose just five. Do we go with comedies? Dramas? Sitcoms? Cartoons? And what about the shows that have been canceled that didn't deserve to be? It was a difficult decision, but these five shows always make us come back for more.

1. The Office

What started out as a spin-off of the hit British comedy, The Office soon became a cultural phenomenon with bobble heads, awkward moments, and the gathering of students each week to see what Michael was going to do this week. Possibly the best known show on campus, that everyone has seen at least once, if not a million times, we love The Office because it makes us laugh. And because Jim and Pam are FINALLY getting married this week! So tune in. Thursdays at 9:00/8:00 c on NBC.

2. Glee

Nerds, football players, misfits, cheerleaders, cliques, catchy tunes and great comedy all set in High School. This is Glee. Whether you hated high school or loved it Glee connects with the awkward kid in all of us. With its catchy remakes of classic and contemporary songs Glee is here to stay. It is like high school musical but a million times better. With Broadway actors Matthew Morrison and Lea Michelle leading the cast the music is good, really good. Some say that it rivals the original. Glee finds the inner geek in all of us and that is what makes it so relatable-- that and the fact that it is hilarious. The cast of Glee was handpicked by directors wanting the exact right feel. Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt in Glee, had the role created for him after his audition because the directors liked him so much. In the first episode you can catch the Glee Club doing a rendition of Can’t Stop Believing by Journey and from there it only gets better. Check out Glee and you won’t be disappointed. It shows on Fox Wed. Nights at 8pm Mountain Standard Time.

3. Psych

Hrmm what to say about Psych… it’s only the funniest detective show on USA - or any cable channel for that matter. Hottie Shawn pretends to be psychic and the always practical Gus uses his “super smeller” they solve crimes for the Santa Barbra Police. If you’ve been an addict from the beginning you’ll know that these two have grown up together and that their relationship is half of what makes this show so darn funny.
Psych comes on every Friday at 10:00 pm on USA whose channel catch phrase is “Characters Welcome” so we suppose it makes sense since the next Psych episode is about werewolves. What a way to bring in the October month!!! We love Halloween and we love Psych and together it’s just, well, it’s fantastic right?

4. Lost

Lost, as you can guess from the title, is an adventure of plane crash survivors on a tropical island. Viewers are engrossed in the series because of it mysterious characteristics. The storyline moves back and forth between current time and another point in a character’s life. Unlike many other TV series, where each stories are usually unfolded after a few episodes, the more we watch Lost, the more we are confused and frustrated as nothing has been solved. However, it is also what makes us keep watching in order to find the answers. The series airs on ABC Networks and the 6th season is coming out on May, 2010, which hopefully will reveal some mysteries.

Check out on ABC websites for any missing episodes (Probably you would find something unexpected)

5. Monk


Monk, a clever and funny detective show about a OCD retired police detectiveand one of USA’s top rated and best shows. We like this show for its memorable characters, clever storylines, and generally clean content. From the episode with the killer monkey to the one with a dead body in the mud bath, Monk delivers plenty of good stories. The bad news is that after seven very successful seasons, this great show will soon be coming to an end. If you haven’t got a chance to watch Monk yet, now would be a good time to start. Catch it on Fridays at 9PM (EST) on USA.
