Mish Mosh

Let's start with Thursday, when The Office returned to television...hurrah!!! It was a great episode filled with very funny moments. I love that Dwight and Angela are having a warehouse affair, that Phyllis knows about it and so is now the head of the Party Planning Committee, that Creed sold Kelly a fake tapeworm, Holly almost confessing that she thought Kevin was retarded, and of course the PB&J proposal! Such a glorious show. I need to find my own Jim Halpert!!!

Friday I went to see Nick Swardson do stand-up at Hard Rock Live. He was hilarious.
For those of you who don't know him, he's got a regular bit part on Reno 911 as Terry, the gay prostitute on roller skates (don't you want to watch the show now if you didn't?!?). He's a friend of Adam Sandler, so ends up in his movies a lot. He was a creepy funny stalker in Blades of Glory and a guy scared of the sun in The Benchwarmers. He talked a bit about Grandma's Boy, which is a stoner movie he was in, which I actually thought was pretty stupid. But otherwise, he was great.

Saturday we went to pay our final respects to Pleasure Island, since it was it's last night of existence.
It was the busiest I have ever seen it, and a few clubs were already at capacity when we got there just after 9pm. We ended up spending our evening in Motion, drinking and dancing the night away. I tried to be as good as possible since I knew I'd see at least a few of my cast members and probably most of my upper management from Downtown Disney wandering around the place. I did an alright job. I didn't get super drunk or do anything to endanger my job, so I would call that a success! I reminisced about all the great times I've had at Pleasure Island and it made me sad that it was going away, but if it's not making money I get it. There are other places to get my groove on, which I will certainly do!

J&K+8

I saw that Angelle mentioned in a post about watching Jon and Kate plus 8, and I was thinking the other day about posting about it. This show is crazy!!! I can't imagine staying sane with twin 6-year olds and SIX 3-year olds. The show is mesmerizing just to see how they function in a normal day.
I saw an old episode last night of when they took a trip to Disney, and it was amazing. Knowing what goes into setting things up for these filmings in the parks, I imagine those kids were super cranky. They did get to walk right on to every ride since they had Disney people with them everywhere, but still. Just potty breaks alone must take up half their day! I imagined our upcoming trip to Disney as being probably a bit like this episode. We may even rival them in number of children in our Hive group! Should be interesting...

So, my life is boring which is why I blog about TV. New shows start next week, although I at least have had 90210 and Gossip Girl for a few weeks now. I don't know if anyone else is as tween-ish as me, but those shows are like crack. Not so much 90210 for me...I don't think the new version is that great so far, but I'm giving it a shot.
Anyway, I am doing fun things besides TV. I went out drinking and dancing downtown last weekend, which was fun except for not getting hit on. : ) I am going to see Nick Swardson at Hard Rock Live next week, then Joel McHale the next week, then Hive the following week...lots of fun coming up!!!
