Summer TV so far...eh...

With summer kicking off this year our favorite shows are back, ok most of our favorite shows in the Zollo house. Minus the two shows that my hubby can't stand that being said you will find my reviews below.

White Collar (USA)- YAY, Matt Bomer and company are back and after 3 episodes in we're right back into the action of this show. It never ceases to make me think and really the writing is on par with the acting. Who would have guessed that Hilarie Burton on OTH could actually do something other than cry.

Covert Affairs (USA)- I am really glad they brought this spy chick show back for a second season. I hardly see TV shows that focus on a strong kick ass female lead anymore, the only other one that I can think of is Castle on ABC. The writing is fairly decent and most of the cast can do a good job, I won't ask for a lot...mission every week I'm good.

Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family)- I got sucked in last season, it's a teenage melodrama I swore I was done with them. I have read the books so it intrigued me, once I got past the annoying theme song they play in their opening credits it is not a bad show. Things I hate: Aria/Ezra's forbidden love story, please they are morons and if I have to see him look at her creepy one more time I will vomit. Give Emily something to do other than mope about her failed romances, I get it being a gay teen is hard but come on. The things I love: Spencer, I know most people don't like her but I don't care I do, her story line is decent and I like her and Toby. Hannah is by far my favorite on the show, hands down the actress sells it, bring back Caleb for her please. As for who killed A: Honestly I am getting bored with it by now there have been no significant breaks in the case or identity making me wonder if they are pulling a LOST, do the writers even know?

Memphis Beat (TNT)- Dan and I are thrilled this is back for it's second season, we loved the first one. Jason Lee, does an amazing job on this show it is funny and quirky and not your average cop drama something that I think television needs.

Hawthorne (TNT)- So far the new season is annoying me Christina needs a smack back to reality she just was beat up and had a massive miscarriage. No one goes back to work right after that no one, she is also being a bitch to my precious Michael Vartan that needs to stop like ASAP. Camille is annoying the snot out of my by stalking married-soon to be divorced new doctor. Bobbie deserves better than her boyfriend that has turned into an ass.

Falling Skies (TNT)- Erg um, we recorded it, it is not horrible. We agreed to give it a few more episodes before we completely take it off our list.

Franklin & Bash (TNT)- Ok I don't really care for it but hubby does. I think the only bright spot is the old boss dude is he funny and makes a few good lines. Hopefully this train wreck won't be long on my screen.

Shows that haven't premiered yet for us Leverage, Burn Notice, Royal Pains and Rissoli & Isles. I look forward to leaving those thoughts when they premiere.

Welcome to my new blog!

Alright so I am bored beyond belief on bed rest with my pregnancy post surgery and I thought this would be a great way for people to catch up with my on goings whether it be writing, knitting, sewing, crafting, my thoughts on TV you name it. I will still be doing the video blog updates for both my web serials but I want to talk about other things as well. My web series you may ask? They can be found here:

I'll admit it I haven't been a very good producer over the last few months ok since like last August. Aug-Nov sucked of last year not a lot more to say hubby's grandfather passed away, my orange tabby cat died 2 weeks before my birthday, yeah it was a crap end of the year. The new year got very busy and this year is shaping up to be just as crazy. Doesn't mean that I am not committed to writing or producing it just means that time management needs to be a bit better. I have a lot of new adventures going on in my personal life.

So, what you may not know I started my web design company about a year ago and while business was good at first it has begun to fade out, hey I get it the economy sucks. Leaving me still working part time at the University. I also in March found out that Dan (my husband and I) are having a baby, we found out a few weeks ago it is a little boy. 2 weeks ago I had to have emergency surgery while pregnant, thank GOD that everything went smoothly and baby and I are on our way to a speedy recovery. Being that I am now on bed rest a least for the rest of the week, I am seriously thinking about starting another home business so that after the baby is born and in August I can leave the bookstore job to stay at home.

This home business would cover a few things that I love to do other than writing, I love to knit and sew! Whether that be head bands, baby booties, hats, scarves (ok i haven't done a lot) but still you get the drift. I have a ton of left over yarn I have accumulated over the last year since I began knitting. Also I love to sew car seat covers for babies and infants. I think I could sell them for a good price, I have also been playing around with making some nursery sets which would include a carry tote, baby quilt, and learning blocks. Basically I am a crafty person and would love to have a home based craft business. What are your thoughts?

Anyways there is just the intro more to come, would love to hear thoughts and opinions!
