NEW TV shows & watching them online

OK, so I am admittedly a Sci-Fi geek..I LOVE Star Trek:TNG (Make it so Number 1..heh..love that line..)
I LOVE vampire stories (ala Stephanie Myers & Laurell K Hamilton )
I love time travel stories of any kind...LOVE them.
I also like prehistoric fiction (yes, very obscure...think Jean Auel )
This leads me to 2 TV shows I am currently addicted to (OK 3..)
True Blood on HBO..a reality where vampires are a 'race class' unto themselves and are able to go 'mainstream' (IE not drinking people blood) by the invention of a blood substitute called, Tru Blood (and it comes in different flavors, erm..TYPES, like O, A etc..hehe..love that)
AND it has some freaking awesome sex scenes..heh..

ALSO on the network TV front, I just started watching Life on Mars on ABC
basically, it is about a cop who gets hit by a car, and wakes up in 1973..hehe..talk about culture shock..I so dig the conceptof WHY he is there..and IF he is there...
and what is he supposed to do there?
Is it real? or is his 2008 life the fantasy.. *ohm* there is a mind clearing question...
I have also enjoyed learning more about the 1970's, the decade I was born in...the music is much better than I have ever been led to believe..

AND , now this is one me and the kids enjoy...
Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles
the time travel sucked me in, and the story has me hooked..it is an awesomely imaginative series...and it has some kick ass fights in it..coz lets face it..we all love some kick ass action!!

NOW where can you watch the last episodes??

fun little quiz

Got this from Keely @ Un-Mom



I could survive for 54 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor

Sushi- the outcome

OK so we went, and it was YUMMY!!!
We got Spicy Tuna Rolls..even the KIDS Loved them.
lol
I am so getting it again!

I heart..

Lemon Lavender scent from Yankee Candle.
it just smells SO.GOOD.
what is your favorite candle scent?

Sushi anyone?

SO we are going to go to a local Japanese steak house tonight for dinner, and as I was perusing their menu online, I saw that they have SUSHI!
I have never had GOOD sushi (the one time I did try it was in a Chinese buffet..yeah..not such a good idea..I.c.k.y)
and I have heard to many peeps rave about it..I want to try it!!!

any advice on what to try or what to steer clear of?

Fun filled day w/ the family

went to a local amusement park w/ my sister and the family..her company pays for 2 tickets outright, and then offers a decent discount on the rest, so we got lunch & all for the price of 25 a ticket..not too bad..and the Big Boy took a friend..
which was nice, because we could send them off to a ride they wanted to ride and we didn't and not worry...it was FUN..

We rode the Phantoms Revenge (more info here ), the Jack Rabbit & the Racer..Gav was STILL not tall enough for the thunderbolt...which was a bummer since it is one of my faves..so the older kids went on it alone..and we went on the PitFall which was WICKEDLY fun...I screamed like a 6 YO girl..lol..
the SwingShot was also fun (this is on the same link and the PitFall..scroll around you will find it)
Oddly, I am terrified of heights(well, of falling..and landing..lol..) but I LOVE roller coasters and scary rides..granted, I ride w/ my eyes closed most of the time..lmao..but the sensations are awesome..
Oh and the Aero 360 which goes TOTALLY upside down...the big boys chickend OUT completely..hehe..

Gav rode EVERYTHING we did and was not scared..he surprises me sometimes..of course, this is the SAME child that as an an infant, would not cry till the second or 3rd shot at his DR appts..so..this fits in w/ his personaility completely..

all in all a GREAT day...now I am TIRED, my feet are sore, and my throat hurts from all the childlike screaming..hehe..

but it was way fun!!

because I am a sucker for a chance to WIN stuff

So, I saw a link on Life is Short Partake in Happy Hour (I love her blog design..it is so damn fun!)
and one of the stipulations is that you make a blog post about the give away!
SO here it is...the templates are way cute...

DREAMING

I dreamed of Giant Otters last night for some ungodly reason...
They were sliding down a waterfall behind me, I had to jump out of their way..
I have VERY weird dreams.

BUT this one interprets well!!

Otter

To see otters in your dream, symbolizes happiness and good fortune. You will find ideal enjoyment or unusual tenderness with your loved one.
