Remember that doctor show?

No, I’m not talking about Doctor Who, you silly pants out there. I’m talking about that one show with the young doctor interns and their hi-jinx! Zach Braff (If I got the spelling of his name right) and friends teamed up to make a show about young doctors. Oh Scrubs, you are amazing.

It’s not a super serious show, but it does have it’s moments. What makes the show so awesome is the chemistry and relationship between all the characters. You have JD, Turk and Elliot all starting their internship on the same day and trying to make it in the crazy, sleepless internships. JD and Turk are best friends and Turk falls for Carla the nurse while JD falls for Elliot (Elliot being the name of one of the main girls, not to be confused with Elliot from E.T.).

JD has the best daydreams, they’re hilarious. Elliot has a streak of bad luck through out a lot of the series, such as ruining her nursing scrubs and having to get some out of a vending machine, only to find out she has no money. So she has to borrow these creepy sewn up clothes from the Janitor. Who has no name until the very end of the series.

It’s stuff like that that makes the series so awesome. Of course, there was a season after the original cast but it did really badly with fans (including me) and wasn’t nearly as funny.

Let’s hope they do some sort of reunion show, because Scrubs has been one of my favorite shows of all time.

Gordon Ramsay is the man!

I’ve been on a huge Gordon Ramsay kick lately. If you don’t know who Gordon Ramsay is, you’ve certainly been living under a rock! He’s an incredibly famous chef and restaurantuer (if that’s such a word!). He’s known for cooking television shows such as Hell’s Kitchen, and Kitchen Nightmares.

To be really honest, my fiance and I have been watching a ton of Kitchen Nightmares! It’s been a super fun show. I know a lot of it has to do with the way the American television crew edit the show, but still. It’s incredibly fun.

Kitchen Nightmares is about Gordon Ramsay coming into restaurants that are doing horribly, in the brink of bankruptcy and disaster. Many of the owners of restaurants are in debt, have taken out several restaurant loans and have even put new mortgages on their own houses. Some of them have even sold their houses and cars! That’s absolutely horrifying.

He takes these restaurants and completely flips them around. At the end of the week, it’s up to the owners of the restaurant to see the restaurant through and make it a success. Sometimes they do shut down. But it’s really satisfying when they pull through. :)

Oh iPhones!

So, Apple released the iPhone 4S a few weeks ago and I never talked about it! So much for being an ultra nerd, right?

They announced it in the beginning of October and people were for some reason really disappointed. I don’t understand why they were disappointed though? The iPhone 4S is a very solid update. It has an amazing camera for video and still photos, with better color and light detection and stabilization! That’s freaking fantastic on a phone. Not to mention the parts got upgrades too, including the antennas. The form factor remains the same but who cares? I think that’s why everyone was depressed or unhappy about the upgrade, there was no new form factor. But again, whoop dee doo!

And the price cuts, holy crap! The iPhone 4 is just a hundred dollars! And the iPhone 3GS is FREE! I think everyone’s going to flock to the new low prices, it’ll be a lot of peoples’ first iPhones. Look forward to Christmas, people! Ha! The cool thing is that since the iPhone 3G is free, there’s going to be a ton of accessories available probably at a discount as well! Things like iphone 3gs cases, car plugs, stereos, speakers, headphones and other things. I think this is a possible amazing turn for Apple and their iPhones.

Go out and check out the new phone!

Zombies and hand-cutting?!

My fiance and I never did get into the famous zombie show out there now, The Walking Dead. But since we had some free time last night, and the first season of the show is only six episodes (six episodes that are forty five minutes long each, that is!), we decided to watch the first three.

And this is where I learnt what cautery was. And boy, did I never want to learn what that word meant!

We went up to the part where they hand-cuffed the big guy with the big mouth and awful attitude to the pipe at the top of the building. And then when every body went back to save him, he had cut off his freakin’ hand. HIS HAND, MAN! HOLY CRAP.

I turned to my fiance and asked “How did he not bleed to death?” “Probably cauterized it.” “What?” “Cautery. The act of burning away and sealing blood and tissue.” I was in shock. And lo’ and behold, that’s exactly what the freak did. Holy crap.

I wouldn’t cut off my hand. Let the freakin’ zombies come, dammit.

Electric what?!

The love and I walked into Sears the other day. To start with, we are not old farts. We know how technology works. We surround ourselves with technology every day. Tech such as: Computers, usb headphones, iPods, Android cell phones, tablets, etc. So we are not tech noobs.

And as I said, we walked into Sears. As geeks, we headed to the electronic section. And lo and behold, between the electronic section and the home section, there were electric… Everything! Electric soap dispensers, an electric blanket, electric ice cream scoopers, electric hand dryers… Holy cow! Were did all this stuff crop up from?!

We haven’t exactly been living under rocks, but I can’t remember the last time I went shopping in a place that didn’t try selling you a Playstation 3 upon entering the store.

Or beef. We shop for food a lot.
