It has been said that I am a bit obsessive when it come to hygiene. When I was a teenager, I had a terrible battle with acne. The condition left me feeling oily and ugly constantly. The situation got so bad that I would incessively shower five to six times a day. I simply couldn’t feel [...]

Coming to America
Ever since I changed this blog to focus on America, I have given myself license to comment (although tongue-in-cheek) on many things I know little about.

The Game Show Channels
Game show channels present game shows that are so old they may as well have been filmed in sepia. I could have sworn I saw T.A. Edison operating one of the cameras.

Now, we have so many talent contests that the [...]

Entertainment US Style
How many shows does Simon Cowell have an interest in? I must say, he must have a certain knack for knowing what works. His obvious success in the US is following the great things he was involved with in the UK. A winner is a winner. I also suspect that his attacking outward appearance seems to be softening [...]

New Season
I am excited about the new TV season, mostly beginning today. The replacement of a certain seemingly gone mad TV star is at the top of my interest list. Then, we have the daughter/son of a legendary couple dancing with the stars. On top of all that, the NFL is in full swing. Even though [...]
