Away from Purpose

It has 3 years and a month since I started this blog and I beleive I have gone off purpose on it. With Spanengrish Ramblings, I was to use English, Spanish and Japanese mixed in. But as of late, I have only used English and moslty talked about television. Anyway, at least I am acknowleding it. I like the name so I am keeping it. I don't think anyone minds but I am gonna try to use more Spanengrish in my Spanengrish blog, si? Talves, vamos a ver.

Miss USA/Perez Hilton Controversy

This is my take on the controversy, as much I am a fighter of gay marriage and the rights, Miss California has the American right to speak her mind. But we are not all that sure that her answer was the main reason she did not win. Perez Hilton feels really deeply about this, I honestly believe he shouldn't have even asked that question. He KNEW what her answer would be. And to judge her on her answer (in a bias view) is not right, if that was the case. We don't know for sure. Well, Perez thinks he does, and I think he is being a bit bias in this particular situation. I think this, like many others things, have been blown out of proportion.

We Love Flo!

For those wondering, Stephanie Courtney (a Groundling!) plays the woman or girl in those Progressive commercials, she has for like more than a year, well since 2008. She has had multiple commercials. The character's name is Flo and I love this character! She has grown on me. She has also appeared in television commercials, such as Skittles (2008), Wienerschnitzel (2005), SC Johnson Glade products. Wikipedia even has a page on her and on the character!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Born To Run Series Finale Review

I love "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," it makes sense that it is going to be canceled or has been canceled. It is brilliant and many people, including Terminator movie fans don't like it. Big spoilers here, but most people aren't keeping track with the show. So basically John's uncle Derek Reese, brother of Kyle Reese, had been in the present and recently was killed. John, Sarah, and their Terminator Cameron confront the big villain portrayed by Shirley Manson and she reveals she is terminator and her true intentions. The last villain Cromartie (Garret Dillahunt) had been wiped cleaned and made into a creepy child-like robot that was devious. Anyhoo, it turned out that when Cameron met Cromartie, she gave him his chip and he went to the future. Catherine (Manson) started yet another time machine around John and Sarah.

John was determined to go to the future to save Cameron, Sarah just couldn't do it since she had been through so much (her second true love had been killed, before Derek) and she backed out and saw John got sucked into the future. John goes through an awkward naked moment with Catherine, who then made clothes for herself since she is a T-1000 and he meets Derek once again, who has no idea who he is. Since John is now in the future, there was no John Connor. He then meets his father Kyle and a very-alive human Cameron, well, the girl who Cameron was modeled after. So reading TVoholic, he theorizes that this John Connor is the John Connor. Interesting theory. This was the potential season three very interesting, unfortunately we may never see it.

When did Nail Painting start?

I was watching the 1956 film The Ten Commandments and heard they painted their nails, I wanted to know the truth and after doing some research... The history of nail painting dates back to the Chinese, when as early as 3000 B.C. royals used a variety of substances including flower petals, beeswax, egg whites, silver and to gold tint their nails. In Egypt, both men and women colored their nails, with color indicating social status. The royals used darker colors for painting their nails, while the lower classes used paler tones. The Japanese and Italians are thought to have been the first ones to actually use nail polish. The Chinese used a colored lacquer, made from a combination of Arabic gum, egg whites, gelatin and beeswax. They also used a mixture consisting of mashed rose, orchid and impatiens petals combined with alum.

That's Right: We don't care

I have heard this new slogan used more than once now: "Thats right, Lifetime." Now "That's Right, TV Land." Lifetime network uses "Thats right, Lifetime." when advertising "How I Met Your Mother" and maybe other shows, not sure. And now I recently heard "Thats right, TV Land." for their new reality contest show "The Cougar," about a hot older woman and 20-something men at her beck and call. This is a sad attempt to attracting viewers and 'smashing' their image. When A&E and TCM have reality shows, all cable channels will look alike... or already do. By the Way (BTW), the Golden Girls have been dumped by Lifetime and are now in Hallmark Channel.
