106. TV and other thoughts

So last night I caught the premiere of So you think you can dance. I really was looking forward to the show after how much I enjoyed Dancing with the Stars.Even though the show did end up leaving a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth with how the competition ended up on that show, I liked the dance aspect, so I really wanted to see how this show went. I think the 2 hour premiere was way too much. I think it could have been done in an hour. I felt like it was dragging on, and by the end of the first hour I was ready for the show to be done. I'll stick with it for now, but I hope it gets better. To read my full review on the premiere of the show head over here.

I'm really looking forward to the Fall season. The return of last season's favorites, and there are some shows I'm looking forward to at least check out. Invasion, Commander in Chief, and Prison Break to name a few. I can't wait for the return of Grey's Anatomy and Lost. I'm also interested to see how ER fairs without John Carter. He's been a part of the show since day one, and I know I for one will miss him. I'm wondering if the show will remain the same with such a vital part of the cast missing. I guess we will have to wait and see. What shows are you interested in checking out this Fall? What old favorites are you anxiously waiting for to return?

The heat continues to be miserable here, and I think I had a small reaction to it last night. My head has been pounding since sometime last night too. Went to bed this morning with a headache, and I woke up with the same headache this afternoon. I'm just trying to keep hydrated, and out of the heat as much as I possibly can. When temps head above 115 though, the air conditioning even starts to refuse to cooperate. I will really be glad when this summer is over. Usually the heat doesn't effect me so much. This is the first summer since I moved out to Arizona eleven years ago that it has gotten to me.

This afternoon I woke up to the news about the latest bombings in London. I really don't have any words. There is much going on in the world. So much hurt and dying, and sometimes here in the blogosphere or on my other journal list I read so much negativity about things that in the grand scheme of life aren't worth fighting and ranting over. When there are people dying in the world, fighting over reading or not reading a book kind of seems childish to me. Perhaps that is just me.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone.
