Confessions of a swampaholic...

Hello, my name is Torrie, and I'm....
a swampaholic.
I've been watching Swamp People on the History channel for close to a month now, and I crave it more and more every day.  We just saw this last week that season one is up on Netflix, and there may or may not have been tears of joy involved.
Here's the basic plot line:
Take a bunch of red neck, born and bred in the bayou cajuns.
Give them some boats, shot guns, massively huge "fishing" hooks, and some three day old rancid meat.
And send them out into the swamplands to hunt gators.
Oh what, that wasn't convincing enough for you?
Maybe you should watch this:
Or maybe this
And if this doesn't get your heart pounding, well then you'd better get your heart checked out
Seriously people, if you're not already spending your Thursday nights watching this then I'd suggest you get started.  Soon.  As in don't even wait until Thursday, just go look it up on hulu.

Loser like me

Remember how I love Glee?  What, I never told you that story?  About the time I thought, "Oh hey, there's that singing show.  Maybe I'll check it out." and then proceeded to watch 4 episodes in a row?  Soon it was in my top three for favorite shows and if I ever found myself bored I'd just re-watch whatever episodes were available online.
And maybe, just maybe, this love was intensified by my crush on Finn Hudson's cute little Canadian face and awkward dance moves.
And by maybe, I mean it was.



Fast forward to season 2.  Is it just me or did Glee kinda wig out?  They've still had some great songs and hilarious moments, but what's with all the drama?  I really think they're just trying too hard to appeal to every single person that ever existed and its just not working for them.  But they still manage to pull some genius out every now and then, kinda like this.  Because lets be honest, who doesn't feel like a loser every now and then?
