Lauren's pop culture recap

I used to have a life. Truly I did. There was a time when Rob and I were home maybe one night a week. But now, we have children with 7:00 pm bedtimes and no money for a baby-sitter. Therefore, I watch this Panasonic box in my house way more than I should or ever have in the past. The upside is that I am now able to bring you my insight into your favorite shows. I know that your lives have been sadly lacking without it.

This past week.


Dancing with the Stars- If you are voting for Kate Gosselin, then please stop reading this blog. You are no longer welcome. Un-bookmark it, delete your history, whatever you have to do. However, if you enjoy this blog then you will do your patriotic duty and vote for Buzz Aldrin. Oh, wait. I'm a week too late. Okay, vote for anyone you wish except for Kate. And that bachelor dude.


American Idol- Is anyone still watching this show? I honestly could not care less this season. It's all been downhill since Adam Lambert. Before you crucify me, just know that I think he is as odd as you do. But nobody can perform on a stage better than him, and sadly I have been comparing everyone this season to Mr. Lambert with tragic results. If I have to root for someone, it would be the awesome Mamasox.


LOST- Connection to sideways world!!! Love it! As my good friend Corey said in an e-mail shortly after the show- PENMOND 4-evah! I still say Smokey is good and Jacob is evil. Watch for it. I actually have a lot more to say on this subject, but I am afraid to reveal too much of my inner nerd.


Survivor- Who cares? I am still heartbroken about the departure of Boston Rob and cannot talk about my healing process yet.


Cake Boss- Staged, staged, staged! But yummy.


Amazing Race- If you would like to apply to be on this show with me, please send me your qualifications. I have ruled Rob out as a possibility because I value our relationship which this show would be sure to destroy. I am pulling for the cowboys mainly because they say, "Oh, my gravy" every week.


Little House on the Prairie- I love this show and always will. If you don't see the majesty and beauty that is Pa Ingalls, well then I just feel sorry for you. Nobody touches me like Miss Beatle, the horse Bunny, Reverend Alden, Albert, and Mr. Edwards. Genius, I tell you. Forget being a stay at home Mom watching soaps and eating bon bons. I'll take Half Pint re-runs and a bag of chex mix any day.
