TV Shows – The World As I See It

Monthly Favorites – October 2016

October 27, 2016

How are we already at the end of October?!?!? My birthday is in less than a month, and I am so not ready to be thirty-two yet. I wish that there was a way to stop having birthdays once you reach a certain age.

Anyway, let’s get on to the things that I have loved from this past month. This first thing I have loved this month is a song by Shawn Mendes call “Stitches.” I heard this song on Pandora for the first time this month, and I have it on repeat most of the month. Here is the music video in case you haven’t heard it before.

I have also been loving the song “Rise” by Katy Perry. The first time I listened to this song it was a cover of the song Super Fruit. I will have the cover of it that I loved, and I will also include the video of Katy Perry as well in case you haven’t seen either of them.

I also have been loving these new Mentos that I found this month. The only place I have been able to find them is at a gas station that I pass on my way to work in the mornings. They remind me of Milk Duds, but they don’t stick to my teeth like Milk Duds do.

I have also been a huge fan of these freezer meals that I have gotten from the store they are called Evol. I love them because they have so many different choices. I had one that was vegan and I had another one that is gluten free. The boxes are all marked with what they are and they are so good. They are a little bit more expensive, but I don’t mind spending more on lunch items that are vegan and gluten free. Here is a picture of one if you are interested in seeing if your grocery store carries them.

The last thing I have been loving this month is the TV show “The First 48”. I have talked about this show in the past because it is a show I have been watching for years and I am sure I will keep watching it for years to come. I love watching as the detectives investigate and solve murders. It is something that has always interested me, and I am sure that it always will. It is on A&E in case you want to check it out.

Those are just a few things that I have loved this month. What have you enjoyed this month?

My Favorite Summer TV Shows- Writers Workshop

August 4, 2016

This week for the writer’s workshop I wanted to share a few of the TV shows that I am currently loving. I always have the TV on in the background when I am home, and I have found a few good shows that I have been totally enjoying this summer. Let’s get right to the shows I have been watching lately.

The first show that I have found and love watching is called Escaping Polygamy, and it is on A&E. It airs on Sunday nights and ever since I found it I find myself binge watching it. A few years ago I read all the books I could find that were written by women who escaped polygamy so I knew once I saw this show that I would love it, and I was right.
Another show I have been loving is The First 48 and it is also on A&E. I am sure I have talked about this show before because I have watched it for years and I will even watch the episodes that I have already seen one hundred times because I find the show so interesting.
Another show that I am loving is Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel. I have watched this show pretty much since I have been blogging, and I can’t get enough of it. There is another show on the Travel Channel that I enjoy, and that one is called The Dead Files. I don’t watch it as much because it is at the same time as Lockup, so I usually end up watching Lockup, but I do enjoy it when I watch it.
The last one I wanted to talk about isn’t show but a channel. It is called Investigation Discovery, and I will watch anything that is on that channel. I can’t pick a favorite because as I am sure you can tell I love cop shows and things like that.

Those are a few of the shows that I am currently loving. I have it on ID most of the time because I know I will enjoy any show that comes on. What shows do you love that I should check out?

Here are all the prompts for this week’s writers workshop in case you want to join in.

10 Things I Love About. . .

May 1, 2014

This week I saw another prompt for the Writers Workshop I knew I had to write about it. This week I chose to write about number 5 which is: List 10 things you love about your favorite TV show. Now I just need to chose one of the shows that I watch and write about it. Who knew it would be so hard for me to pick on show to write about. I think for this one I am going to write about Lockup which is on MSNBC. If you have never heard of the show it is filmed inside of prisons in the US. They take time hearing some of the stories of the people who are locked up. Now lets get on to the 10 things I love about Lockup.

I love hearing the stories of the people who are incarcerated. I love hearing what their lives were like before they got locked up and what the believe lead them to where they are at.
I love being able to get a glimpse of what life is like for people who are in there.
I love learning what people in this country do and/or don’t do.
Some of the stories make me laugh out loud because the people are so ridiculous and what they got locked up for is just as crazy.
Sometimes they show what their lives are like when they get out of prison.
I love people watching and this show is great for people watching.
I love watching their Lockup-Raw episodes because it is always about things that didn’t make it on the original episodes.
It is always fun to get to look at the “Bad Boys” that I always seem to be attracted to.
It is interesting to say the least.
I can laugh at stupid people without hurting anyones feelings because lets be honest a lot of things that people do to get locked up are just them being stupid.

Those are 10 of the things that I love about the show Lockup on MSNBC. What is one thing you are love about your favorite show?

Here are the prompts for this weeks writers workshop. Feel free to grab one and then go link up here!

4.) Write a poem about a fight you or someone you love has struggled to win.
5.) List 10 things you love about your favorite show.

The Best Part

April 1, 2014

This is an old prompt from the writers workshop a few weeks ago. I found the post in my drafts and decided that I wanted to finish it and get it posted. The prompt is: The best part of my day is… I chose this one because it is something that would change for each person and I would love to read what others find the best part of their day.

The best part of my day depends on what day of the week it is for me. During the week I would have to say that when I get off work is the best time of day for me. I hate driving home with all the traffic but being off means that I don’t have to answer the phone anymore and I don’t have to be bitched at customers anymore.

On the Saturday’s I love when I get to shut my door and watch my TV shows. I am addicted to Lockup on MSNBC & Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel. I get lucky that Ghost Adventures is on right before the new episode of Lockup and I don’t have to miss either of them most weekends.

On Sunday’s I love when I can read the whole day away and not have to worry about anything other than doing my laundry. I think I love getting lost in books more than I love watching TV shows. I think this is because when I am reading I can decided for the most part what people look like and it makes you think more than when you are watching TV.

Anyway those are the best parts of the end of the day for me. What are the best part of your days?
