Off Topic: Roofus the Cat

I haven't seen Roofus the Cat for nearly a week. Although I was pretty sure I was just missing him, I was a bit upset that he stood me up for my Saturday work commute. After all, Saturday is almost the "sure bet" day. Just a minute or two before my train was to arrive ...

Hey, what's that walking along the roofs?

Why, it's Roofus the Cat about to go onto the fire escape!

Look! It's Roofus ON the fire escape!

And, then the arrival to his favorite napping spot and my train comes in at the same time. Clicking on any of these images will make them open larger in a new window. Then you can just click back to this page.

Later tonight -- it's the blog party for the season premiere of The Amazing Race! C'mon back and join in on the fun!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Zoetawny created yet another fantastic graphic for the day! I hope everyone is someone's Valentine ... or, at the very least, get to eat some good chocolate!

Me? Um ... I have to go to work.

TV Bitsy Bits

As they say --- "police activity" by my NJ Transit train this morning. Thankfully they held the train at my arrival station instead of the one before it. It was something to do with a non-responsive passenger. I don't think he was non-responsive because he didn't give a nod when asked "howyadoin." The conductors didn't seem all that excited and they weren't helping the person, so my guess is drugs or drunk. Ah, at 7:30 in the morning!

Onto my TV Bitsy Bits

I watched my recorded Bonnie Hunt Show from today. Two things. First, I had forgotten how funny, quick, and sometimes way raunchy Joan Rivers can be. She was a hoot! And then there was Phil Keoghan. It's great to see him in a surrounding other than a welcome mat in a strange country. He's adorable and also has a quick wit. More importantly, he's thrilled with the attention Bonnie gives The Amazing Race and all the teams will go on the show as they get Philiminated. He said the teams are looking forward to it.

My Survivor review on TV Squad is here if you haven't seen it yet. I push monkeys. You've been warned. Reality News Online has an interview with the ousted castaway Carolina. Uh-oh. Those cowboy boots I mocked were JT's, not hers. She borrowed them because her sneakers were wet. Now I have another two things. First, I like JT and hope she didn't give him fungus foot or root rot or something. Second, um ... small feet there, JT? Oh, by the way, she decided God didn't want her to be on the show. Little did she know that no one wanted to listen to her helium voice all season!

My latest TV Shows Off the Beaten Path column is up over on CliqueClack TV. I did this week's one on America's Most Wanted. I foresee running out of shows eventually on the column. Yikes.

Today's musical non sequitur:
Very superstitious, writing's on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladder's 'bout to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
-- "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder

Survivor Tocantins -- Season Premiere

Welcome one! Welcome all! It's the season premiere of Survivor Tocantins! Zoetawny has made us another rockin' blog logo for the show and ORKMommy will once again be running the blog pool in the comments area.

While my more extensive show review will be posted later at TV Squad, this post will be updated with events and my thoughts as the show airs here on the East Coast. Everyone is invited to party in the comments -- just remember, if you make a mess in there, you have to clean it up.

Survivors ready? It's ON!

Yikes ... Sierra and Sandy voted off? They won't go on "this adventure." This adventure turns out to be the four-hour trek to camp. They get to fly. We've been had. So, two are NOT voted out right away!

Timbira wins fire and immunity! Sandy better find that idol or, they might go for weak Carolina. Hmm.

Yep, they voted out Carolina! (I know I will have some more comments about her on TV Squad!)
