Bananas

Our Friday night started with a comedy show at Waterworks.  For those of you from the Albany area: yes, I know it's a gay bar.  Truthfully, I find it a little disturbing how many people asked me that when I said that's where we were going.  At any rate, five comedians performed in their upstairs lounge to benefit The Sexual Assault & Crime Victim's Assistance Program of Rensselaer County.   Truth be told, we had a blast.  Afterwards we met up with an old friend over at the Black Bear and shared a pitcher of Blue Moon.  We were in good company since the local Mayor was there along with Jeff the bouncer, Bernie the creepy cab guy, my new friend Lauren (aka Aunt Imelda) and Mary the Clairvoyant.  Mary, who's psychic abilities are limited to her alcohol consumption, informed Jeff and I that we were apparently long lost soul mates.  That got a good laugh out of our group.  It was just about then that she called it a night and asked the creepy cab guy, Bernie, to take her home.  Not long after we decided to head out as well.

Furry Friday: No Love for Lola

Seeing as how we were blessed with snow in the great North East this week, I had the luxury of staying home a day and a half due to "inclement weather."  Making exceptional use of this time at home I got caught up on Jersey Shore re-runs, put in four hours of shoveling, and fit in a two hour nap.  In the middle of all of that I somehow managed to feed my two nameless fish, walk the dog, and entertain phone calls from my pal Danielle.  Tough life, I know.

GTL Again

For those of you die hard Jersey Shore fans, last night was the long awaited premiere for Season Five.  As ridiculous as this show is, I cannot help but watch it.  Prior seasons were full of Ronnie/Sam drama which seemed to overtake the show in a negative way, but when those two decided to pop a prozac the show became quite enjoyable again.  This is not to be confused with saying it's become drama free because that is certainly not the case.

Already Mike "The Situation" and his friend "The Unit" are stirring the pot with Snooki about what apparently went down between them.  There has been some speculation that Mike has gay tendencies.  Vinny is severely depressed about extended time away from his family, and Pauly-D hooks up with Ryder which makes Deena jealous.  Surprisingly there's yet to be any drama involving Ronnie, Sam or J-Woww but this is just the first episode.

Fist Pump!

For all you juice-head, meatball loving fist-pumpers out there: Jersey Shore Season Four premiers August 4 at 10pm on MTV.  I've not yet watched the season premier trailer, but from countless reviews already out on the web I'm led to believe this season is not going to disappoint.  Apparently Snooki and the Situation become an item, Vinny grows a stache, Deena and Paully-D lick (not to be confused with like) each other, and J-Woww continues to duke it out.  One thing I am hoping, although not holding my breath, is that Sammie and Ronnie not steal the spotlight as the typical Domestic Violence Duo that they are.  I grew so tired of tuning in last season to watch their train wreck of a relationship.  The name calling, destruction of belongings, and physical violence was so horrendous that I was waiting for MTV to slap up a disclaimer screen about the effects of Domestic Violence and a help hotline.  Oddly enough they did not.  Thank you MTV for teaching the youth of America how to mistreat each other in the name of love.  Ok...that was me being sarcastic and getting off topic. Anywho, if you would like to get a sneak peek at what's to come I've included a youtube clip for your enjoyment:

Who else is excited to tune in August 4, 2011 for Jersey Shore?  Anyone having a fist-pump party (I hear these things exist)?
