The new Melrose...will you be watching?

So Melrose Place is making a comeback. Are you going to watch? I'm not...didn't watch the original and my catty, girly, fluff section of my tv schedule is already filled by Gossip Girl. Plus, Melrose does not have CHUCK! So really, what's the point? Speaking of, GG will be back NEXT WEEK!!!!!

And I hear Chuck's storyline is taking a hell of a turn!

You know what really burns my bubble? When stores do price adjustments a couple of weeks after you buy something, but their price adjustment policy doesn't allow you to receive one. No joke...3 weeks ago, I purchased a pair of pants from one store and a jacket at another. And today, the pants are $15.00 less and the jacket is $50.00 less!!!! I'm returning both items this week, and rebuying the jacket! I can't believe in this economy, these stores are doing this. I haven't even worn either item, as they are both spring items. Really, I think these stores (who will be nameless, not b/c I want to protect them , but b/c Gigs doesn't want to admit to shopping at one of them) need to rethink their policies for loyal customers.

Stars! They're Just Like Us!

Did you hear what Jennifer Lopez's baby boy's first word was? Dada. Do I care?

While I am at it, here are some other "news" stories I don't want to hear any more about:

Octomom---I've had it. Talk about rewarding someone for irresponsible behavior...if you want to call her behavior irresponsible.

Rihanna and Chris Brown-- let her deal with her loser boyfriend without the cameras in her face, if you want to call him a loser boyfriend. And btw, what is up with that survey the Boston Globe did?

Dancing with the Stars/American Idol/Bachelor--what did you expect from crappy reality shows? The same old same old? They HAD to do something different! More injuries! New judge! A-hole bachelor! If you want to call him an A-hole.

Lindsay Lohan-unless you have a new movie coming out ( and I hope you do!) I don't care. About anything else.

Bristol Palin and Levi whatever--whatever.

There, I feel better.

Help stop teen cough medicine abuse! (what about other age groups' abuse?))

1. Oscars--yep I watched--the whole durn broadcast! Glad for Milk's wins, and Heath's...and in case you were wondering, I like the new format!

2. 3 Doors Down...Gigs took in a concert on Monday night at the new House of Blues in Boston...ehh venue, sound issues until the main act came on, but all in all a great show! Gigs went with buddies Nancy and Mike, and had a great time, as always when you mix Nancy, Mike, live music and a Dirty Shirley.

3. Cough Medicine--I was carded, and asked to sign a document that stated that I would not sell my cough medicine to teens (who may abuse it) twice this week! They keep it behind the counter, probably under the guise of protecting kids from what can harm them if abused. It got me thinking about if this is a law, or store policy. And if libraries were to do that....put "harmful" materials behind the desk and not let a minor check them out. God, now more than ever, I am glad most libraries don't function like this! I can't imagine blocking anyone from the freedom of information. I would have been so mad if as a teen I wasn't allowed to check something out, on the authority of someone who didn't know me! But I do believe that parents need to step up and parent.

4. I need some sleep! I'd go get some Tylenol night meds, but I don't want to get my license carded again! Someone might come after me for abuse!

Ouskar

I wasn't going to watch the Oscars this year...I find it wrong that during these hard times, so much money is being spent on praising actors....good actors, and good movies, but really what did they DO? Entertain us, sure. But this money could be going to much better causes that another pat on the back for Hollywood....still, maybe it is a welcome distraction for some. I dunno...I do want to see who will win Best Actor and Supporting Actor, and this rumored musical number with Hugh Jackman, but that's about it. I think the entire award season has gotten out of hand...and judging by the ratings of recent years, maybe the public feels the same way.

Did you know that it was an Academy librarian that gave the award its name? Yah-Huh..I heard it on Extra so it must be true!
