Catch tuesday once again!!!

That's right, its Catch tuesday once again. I obviously have failed doing BEDA..I honestly had a hard time figuring out what to write each day. it was really frustrating so i decided to just stick to blogging when i have something decent to talk about. Which means it may just be Catch for awhile lol.

So surprisingly I am somewhat unhappy with tonight's episode. First off, it seems like they showed the new boats, the wizard and the CM most tonight. Not that i don't like them, because I love the CM I mean come on that's Phil's boat. But seriously how can you not show the Time Bandit and Northwestern more than the others. The Northwestern has been on Catch since the very beginning, and I think it maybe got 30 seconds of air time tonight. In my mind that's not ok, and I mean this not because its my favorite boat or just because I think Edgar is hot. I generally believe that its bullshit not to show them at least an equal amount. I'm sorry but in my opinion, the new boats should take a back seat to the others. Wild Bill certainly did last season, and he wasn't even new to the fleet he was just new to DC. So I don't understand what the hell is up with that. but hopefully it doesn't continue. and second and last...Jake Harris got to run the boat for a bit, which for me was really really awesome to see. He seemed to do a decent job for being new to it and was even complimented on his skill by his Captain Derek Ray. Later on in the show he asked to drive the boat again and Derek turns him down. after Jake leaves the wheelhouse(looking somewhat discouraged) Derek admits to smelling pot on Jake and vows to never let him drive the boat again. So my thoughts earlier of thinking that Jake was on a good path and actually looked like he could run the boat dropped to the floor the moment that was said. I really want to see him do well in life and get past his demons. and a part of me even wants to believe that maybe Derek was lying, but given Jake's past i cant help but believe him. Derek seems like a decent guy. I remember being skeptical about him, but that was because he was taking Phil's place, and in my mind no one should take Phil's place because it's just Phil's place. but I watched him sit down and tell Sig that Phil had died last season. and that's no easy thing to do. and I believe he genuinely wants to see both Jake and Josh do well. I am hoping that Jake can recover from this little slip and hopefully get back in Derek's good graces. Not only for his sake, but for Phil's as well.

It's CATCH tuesday!!

Its that time again folks!! Deadliest Catch tuesday!!

Well what can I say...the one new captain, Elliot Neese, is already on my bad side...though I can't pinpoint a reason why. Just something about him I guess. Still not sure how I feel about the other new captain on the Seabrooke. Knew I would see Keiths drama king temper make another appearance, lol. Wonder if he realizes he looks like a control freak on tv. I am hoping the Cornelia crew can unite together and back their new captain. Of course I can see how it would be hard since they are used to that position being filled by Phil. It was pretty cool to see Jake in the captains chair on the Northwestern, and doubly cool to see Edgar flick him some extra shit. I know Jake is a little sensitive but I love seeing Edgar happy...it means he's sticking around longer, in my opinion. I think Jake needs to toughen up.

I am really liking the music or score they are playing this season as well. for my music can really make or break a show. Hopefully they plan on releasing it on itunes so i can buy it. All in all a pretty good show. As always i am looking forward to next week!!

How I plan to spend the end of the Harry Potter movies...

Harry Potter began for me after my sister and my best friend told me I needed to read the books. I opted to see the movie first and until seeing Prisoner of Azkaban I was fairly sure that Harry Potter was for children. I don't know exactly what it was about it, but I just felt it was childish. That was until I met the dementors, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. After I saw that movie I feverishly read the books, and a hardcore Potter fan was born. I saw the rest of the movies at midnight premieres, waited in line until midnight for Half Blood Prince and held an all night reading party for the release of Deathly Hallows. I even made a list of predictions of how i thought the series would end, and who would live and die. Little did I know that these books and movies that I once felt were so childish, would help me grieve the passing of my twin sister in 2006. Harry Potter has given me a magical place to escape to when I need it. It has given me a new found love of books. It has also brought me many friends from around the world. There aren't a lot of books that can do all those things. It's hard to believe that 7 years later we are coming to an end. An end to era. Deathly Hallows part 2 is to be released in theaters July 15th at 12:01 am. While I cannot go to Florida to meet and hang out with the fellow fans and friends HP has brought me I will be spending it with one of the people who introduced me to it in 2004. My dear friend Crystal is stationed in Hawaii serving in the army. It is only fitting that I spend the end of Harry Potter with her since she was one of the ones who made it possible. But who is to say its the end? Hopefully the books will be passed down to other friends and family members and the story will live on. And I hope most of all that the special bond that has been made between us all will live on.......until the very end.

Deathly Hallows part 1(contains spoilers for those who haven't seen or read the books)

So the dvd/blu ray came out friday I have watched it twice so far. First off each time it has seemingly been easier to suppress the tears for Dobby. I was surprised when seeing this in the theater how much it affected me. It affected me a lot in the book as well, but when you see something played out it has quite an impact. Dobby was my sisters favorite character, so that made it harder as well. I once again got sucked into the score. While I know many people had various opinions about Desplat doing the score and not Williams or Hooper, I personally think he did a good job. It was very stirring music like it should have been. But I still think my favorite score of the movies so far has been Half Blood Prince, "In Noctem" is just pure brilliance. And "The Drink of Despair"....soooo good!! Favorite moments from the movie...7 Potters sequence. I watched the making of feature on the extras, I really like the scene, I thought it was very well done! Dan acted the others out really well. I also really liked the finding the sword sequence with Snapes patronus, and the appearance of Ron and the killing of the locket. Just an awesome bit. I am unsure how everyone else feels about the animated bit about the Tale of the Three Brothers. I thought it wasnt too bad, but I was rather distracted in thinking that the second brother resembled Abe Lincoln...minus the top hat of course. The bit with Hermione and the lead snatcher(whom I believe to be Scabior) in the forest was good, a bit freaky when I first saw it. The dude kinda creeps me out, as he should. Hermione wiping her parents memories was heartbreaking. Ron leaving was well done. Though I do think they should have left the scene in of Ron telling Harry and Hermione that Voldemorts name is taboo and that's how they find people. Because that's how they find them at Lunas house(in the movie of course). The whole Malfoy manor thing was done very well. Big props to Emma Watson and Jason Issacs who I thought both stood out in the scene. I was expecting Ron to be more upset though. I can't imagine listening to the screams of someone I love while they are being tortured. Dobbys death was heartbreaking of course, and I think Dan did very well. One thing I am left wondering about is Wormtail. Did Dobby kill him? and if he didn't how do they plan to work that into the next movie??...many things to think on of course. Just under 90 days now till the end of the movies. Have to say it already feels bittersweet. What a ride its been.

Hearing loss, TIMBERS WIN and DH is out in less than 2 hrs....SAY WHAT?

First off, an HUGE CONGRATS to the Portland Timbers for winning their very first home game at JWF tonight against Chicago. It was an awesome game, I loved watching it and look forward to watching much more. Plus I need to get my hands on a jersey and one of those wicked awesome scarves! RCTID!

Second, Deathly Hallows pt. 1 is out on DVD/Blu Ray in less than 2 hours and I'm not at the store waiting...seriously WTF is wrong with me?? UGH :/ chock it up to another reason I need my damn license! But I will get DH pt 1 tomorrow, so it will still count, right? :P

And finally third....I watched the show called The Doctors today. They discussed hearing loss due to loud music, mostly from rock concerts but also the increase in hearing loss since iPods came about. I admittedly LOVE to listen to my music loud. But I didn't know how loud my music actually was until i did some research. Thanks to seeing the show I found out that my earbuds produce 102dB's. and over a prolonged period of time it can cause gradual hearing damage. And i will also admit that every now and then after listening to my maxed volume music for a few hours I do experience some ringing in my ears for awhile afterwards. I found out that the point in which hearing damage becomes an issue is at 85 dB's. And furthermore, the headphones I use on my computer produce 103 dB's which for just 1 MINUTE can cause permanent hearing loss! After researching all this I set a volume limit on my iPod. Researchers said that you just have to crank it down to 80% to save your hearing. While yes I like it loud, I like to feel as well as hear the music, I want to be able to listen to music for a very very long time. I've realized that if I don't turn it down I put myself at risk to lose my hearing all together. and that is something I do not want to ever experience. Instead of playing it loud, its time to play it just loud enough.

Deadliest Catch is BACK!

Got to see most of the season 7 premiere of DC last night. Though I must admit I missed about 15 minutes of it because I fell alseep. I caught the encore showing which started at 11pm and ran till 1am. I was out late last night, but I just had to watch my most favorite show. I was glad I did and I plan on watching it all the way through(minus falling asleep this time)again very soon. I liked the beginning with all the boats floating next to one another as they launched Phils ashes(in a crab pot) into the Bering sea. It was very dramatic, this is true. But I liked it. They made it seem at first like Edgar had indeed left the Northwestern, but this wasn't so, he just came on deck after everyone else. But for a moment I was quite upset. From what I can tell its going to be an interesting season for the guys aboard the Northwestern as it seems Jake forgets to check his feelings at the door. Which lets be honest isnt uncommon for him. I was glad to see both Harris boys aboard the Cornelia Marie, and doubly glad to see that Jake Harris passed a drug test. I hope he continues on the straight and narrow. Also glad to see the Time Bandit boys back as well. It still hasnt sunken in that I met Johnathan, Andy and Sig last July. I realized that about half way through watching last night...."I met those guys" I thought to myself. Still doesnt seem real. But also makes me wish that I would've made more of an effort to meet Phil when he was in town. Theres 2 new ships in the fleet this year. Not sure how I feel about them yet, its just too early to tell I think. I am wondering if they Captains ditched their preseason tradition of doing a burn barrel as it was not shown. Of course with Phils passing, maybe it just doesnt seem right. but who knows. I am certainly looking forward to a long season of Deadliest Catch, and hope they plan to film After The Catch as well. Man I love this show!!

My tuesday....

Love hanging with my family! My hair is looking good!!! Watching Deadliest Catch NOW!
