Elliott Neese - Deadliest Catch - Cited Possession Undersized Crab

As some of you Deadliest Catch Fans may already know. I am not an Elliott Neese fan.

I've been watching the ships on the Marine Traffic and knew the Ramblin' Rose was still fishing or at least pulling in and out of port at Dutch Harbor throughout December.  I figured they were having a really bad season, maybe fishing for Blue King Crab or both. Most of the other crews have been home quite some time now.

Keifer Sutherland Has A New Show On Fox - Touch

Keifer Sutherland has a new show coming out called "Touch". I just found this trailer for it. It looks like it will be pretty good. Danny Glover is also in the show.

Brody, I'm taking some time away from home. Away from Jess. She's f'ng someone. Carrie, so what exactly are we doing? Brody, well I'd like drink or three. Carrie, swanky or hole in the wall. Brody, I don't like the word hole anymore. But I do like a good dive.

Addison  Montgomery is at the shrinks telling him Pete is keeping watch over her egg.

Addison is awake and dressed, Sam's still in bed. She is getting ready to go to the office but can't find her cell. Sam Bennett tells her she had it on Amelia's deck. Addison tells Sam she can't have sex two days before she is implanted. I'm thinking she's going to tell him she can't after she is implanted too. Poor Sam.

Raspberry Truffle Cream Pie - No More - Recipe

Years ago Hershey had raspberry chocolate chips to bake with. On the back of the bag was a recipe for Raspberry Truffle Cream Pie. It is one of my all time favorite deserts. I never can make up my mind which is better, the Raspberry Pie or Basket Robbins Mud Pie. Both are awesome. But after a year or two Hershey's quit selling the Raspberry chips. So I could no longer make this delicacy.

So this morning on Twitter we were discussing Christmas baking and the subject of sugar cookies came up. All of a sudden I get a tweet from @ HersheysKisses with a sugar cookie recipe. Which also look simple and delicious but I decided to take the opportunity to ask them about the raspberry chips. The first thing that came to mind because this pie is that good. They immediately sent me a list of all the flavors of Hershey's chips or baking pieces available.

Grey's Anatomy November 10, 2011

Arizona Robbins has a kid with half his face torn off coming in.

Christina Yang, Meredith Grey and Alex Karev are at the bar. Christina and Meredith are laughing at Alex because some girl he was trying to pick up told him to go screw himself. Alex evidently had already slept with this girl and forgot about it. Meredith, I have a history of Alzheimer's in my family what's your excuse? Alex blames it on George. He said they were talking about dead people it threw him off his game.

Jake Jolibois - Deadliest Catch Deckhand

For those of you who visit the blog often I'm sure you've figured out Captain Andy Hillstrand is my favorite Captain. Well I thought I would introduce you to my favorite deckhand Jake Jolibois. Jake has worked off and on as a deckhand on the Kodiak. He most recently took the Cornelia Marie from Ketchikan to Kodiak and did some work on her. He doesn't get a lot of airtime on Deadliest Catch but I found him on Twitter and what a load of fun!

If you don't follow Jake Jolibois on Twitter and Facebook, you really should. We have such a blast on Twitter. He is one of the few who takes the time to really talk to his fans. One night he even invited me to his house to watch the show with him. How cool is that? If I wasn't on the opposite side of the map from him, you know I would have been there. Yes he actually has fans of Deadliest Catch get together to watch the show with him.

Homeland Season 1 Episode 6 Recap

They are still going with he snuck it in his shoe. Carrie says there is the possibility that someone on our side could have given it to him.

Private Practice Recap November 3, 2011

"If I Hadn't Forgotten"

I don't like this whole Addison Montgomery and the shrink thing and what is up with not showing the shrink and now they just show us his eyeball? What the heck? Anyone recognize that eye? The voice sounds familiar. I may have to investigate that further.

Amelia Sheppard just woke up in bed with someone who I'm guessing she doesn't know. She tells the guy he's gotta get up and get out because she is late for work.

Coast Guard Called To The Wizard - Deadliest Catch

For those of you who haven't heard yet...

The US Coast Guard was called to The Wizard on November 7, 2011. The Coast Guard Call

The man speaking on the audio speaks like the Captain, talking about his crew member but I didn't think it really sounded like Captain Keith Colburn. Some parts sounded like him but for the most part I thought it sounded like someone younger. Maybe it's just the difference between the sound on the radio and the TV. I'm pretty sure we will see when the show airs.

Private Practice Recap October 27, 2011

"Step One"

Addison Montgomery has started her hormones. This should be interesting. LOL

Addison takes the injections to Jake Reilly because she doesn't want Sam to have to give her the shots. She wants her rear end to say sexy when Sam thinks about it. That's actually a good idea especially since Sam doesn't want kids.

Sam Bennett runs into a patient and her son downstairs. They mom is trying to get the boy upstairs but he is freaking out. I say boy but it's more like young man. He seems to be having a psychotic break of some kind. The mom says he needs to see Violet, but the boy runs away. I think this lady was on the show before with her son. I'm trying to remember what for.

So is anyone watching Homeland the new show on Showtime?

I've been watching it. It comes on after Dexter one of my favorites so I thought I would give it shot. I'm trying to figure out how they are going to go with the plot on this one and keep it on the air. I've got lots of questions, so I thought I would add it to the blog and see what you guys think is going on.

Private Practice Recap October 20, 2011

She didn't know how she got pregnant and she didn't know who Addison was at the end of the exam. The husband is talking to Sheldon. Wow what a hard situation.

Private Practice Recap, October 6, 2011

"Breaking the Rules"

Sorry I'm running late on this one. But here it is.

I wasn't all that excited about this episode. I never bought into this whole patient confidentially story line and it's getting old. I hope it's over soon.

We start off with Addison Montgomery back at the shrink talking about when she was trying to save her marriage with Derrick and living in the woods. How she fought for love and got poison ivy on her va jay jay.

Deadliest Catch - Unemployment And Cut Backs Hit The Bering Sea

Well the Cornelia Marie released a statement today confirming some of the rumors and some of my suspicions.

The Cornelia Marie it appears will not be fishing for Red King Crab this season. Josh and Jake Harris will be deckhands on other vessels as I had earlier posted. The rumors on that one were everywhere.

Troy "Chief" Huls will continue working on the tug.

Grey's Anatomy Recap October 6, 2011

"What is it about men?"

This should be interesting to say the least. This whole episode is from the mens point of view.

Meredith tries to talk to Derrick about the surgery he has done. He tells her he is not going to do this where she is sad about every surgery. She is just trying to have a conversation. Derrick tells her have a conversation about something else. So things are still not well in the Grey household.

Dutch Harbor Was Bombed During WWII ?

Who knew? I love learning new things.

Discovery Deadliest Catch just tweeted this link filled with WWII photos and information on the bombing of Dutch Harbor, Kiska Island and Attu Island.

Private Practice September 29, 2011

"God Laughs"

The show starts with Addison talking to a shrink.

Pete Wilder is on the floor trying to reach his phone with Lucas watching him.

Grey's Anatomy September 29, 2011 Recap

"Take the Lead"

I wonder if Christina went through with the abortion?

The show starts out with Chief Webber saying the 5th year residents today start rotating in as lead surgeons. Mark Sloan, we've got a lot of standing around to do today. Callie, We've alerted the morgue. Chief Webber only help when you absolutely have to. Bailey, before you help them swim let them sink a little.

The Chief then resigns in the morning staff meeting, and tells the doctors Owen Hunt is the new Chief of Surgery.  Everyone wants to know what happened. Derrick asks if it was the board that forced him to resign? Teddy says yea for Owen. Bailey sits silent not looking too happy.

All My Childrens Last Episode On ABC

What a bag of mixed emotions.

After tears all week, watching all the great flashbacks and the reality that the show is really ending, ABC ends the show stealing lines from other shows. I mean come on! They didn't even rate their own original lines after forty years. That's just so sad. 

The Cornelia Marie Is Gone From Deadliest Catch?

Well it is certainly looking like this is the case.

Ever since two of the more recent events, The Tampa Bay Boat Show and The Commercial Fisherman’s Festival I have seen several rumors that Jake and Josh Harris will not be on the Cornelia Marie this next season of Deadliest Catch, and it's looking like the Cornelia Marie won't either.

I have never liked rumors because they are often just that, rumors. But you know me I’m curious and I wanted to find out about our boys.

Grey's Anatomy September 22, 2011 Recap

Finally the new season begins!

I forgot half of what was going on it's been so long. I hope we get more than a couple of episodes before the reruns start.

Here we go. Woo Hoo! A two hour episode!

Commercial Fishermans Festival, Astoria Oregon, Deadliest Catch

The Commercial Fisherman's Festival was this past weekend in Astoria, Oregon and many of our Deadliest Catch boys were there.

Jake Jolibois, Jake Anderson, Jake Harris, Josh Harris, Captain Tony Lara, Troy Huls, Scotty Hillstrand, Neil Hillstrand, Edgar Hansen and Adam McCalden I think I spotted Dale Pruitt and heard that Capt Keith was there. I'm sure I probably missed some that attended but these were the people I could pick out of photos. LOL

The Tomato Garden Story

Someone emailed me this story. It was too cute not to share.

An old gentleman lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Big Brother 13 Episode 29 Finale September 14, 2011

Well the season finale if finally here. I must say this is probably one if not the worst season of Big Brother I ever watched.

I just won't know what to do with myself when I don't have to listen to Rachel anymore.

We left off with part one of the HOH competition. Adam Poch is the first one to fall off. This has got to be one of the weakest casts ever. Not one endurance competition ran over into After Dark this season. I mean this comp is for $500,000 and it lasted 45 minutes, please. I'd throw up and fall in it for a 1 in 3 chance for half a million.

Big Brother After Dark Recap September 14, 2011

They are all in the bathroom. Rachel is in the shower. I think Adam Poch is writing the end of the show out loud. It's kind of strange.

The paranoia is setting in. Porsche is telling Rachel she is making her nervous.

Big Brother After Dark Recap September 13, 2011

They are eating dinner.

Then they played pool and cards. They are absolutely not talking about anything of any importance.

Tonight's After Dark will be the last one. I hope it is more exciting than this. Hopefully they will talk more about their thoughts on who they will take to the final two.

Big Brother After Dark Recap September 12, 2011

Rachel Reilly and Adam Poch are having dinner.

Porsche was in the DR. She came out and cleaned the mirror above the stove. They must of told her to clean it in the DR.

Porsche is having pasta salad.

Big Brother After Dark Recap September 11, 2011

The house guests are playing cards, talking about the competition today, eating wings, potato skins, chips and celery. I think Adam spilled his drink or something on his shirt

Porsche Briggs has two fingers with band aides on them. She also has a bandage around one of her calve/knee area.

Porsche, Rachel we just won $5000 for every week we were here this summer. Adam is in the diary room. Porsche and Rachel are doing a happy dance. This is because

Big Brother After Dark Recap September 10, 2010

There are appear to be doing a roast to the past house guests. They are referring to it as "burn book".

Adam, Kalia, Kalina should not be waiting by her mailbox for a Pulitzer prize cause she should be waiting to be sued for plagiarism. You used everyone of Danni's lines right before she walked out the door to go see her in the jury house.

Adam, I cannot burn sweet Jordan. Porsche I can't either. Rachel, she got a little saucy this season. Porsche,  she's fun, she's sweet, she's innocent, but she can't talk game even to save her life, have fun in jury with Jeff.

Big Brother After Dark Recap September 9, 2011

Rachel and Porsche are in the kitchen studying the memory wall expecting the morphing competition.

Now they are playing cards.

Adam must be in the DR. Rachel just made a comment about he got to meet Tori Spelling and probably will win the game. I wonder if that means he won the first part?

Big Brother 13 Episode 28 September 9, 2011

Adam Poch won HOH and got a whole bunch of bacon stuff in his basket.

Rachel up in the HOH room telling Adam she wants a guarantee. I don't think she is in any position to be demanding guarantees.

Jordan Lloyd I'm sorry your a sweet heart but Porsche has won more competitions and played more game than you.Little Jordan's been stomping her foot and throwing tantrums quite a bit this summer.
