Spudguns! take your shoes off, cause I don't want you tracking graveyard goo into my crypt, pull up a tombstone and grab a cup of coffee.
Did you all see last week's episode of TNA wrestling? I just did. Had to hunt online for it, but I found a copy and got to see it. ( July 26th 2012 episode.)
And seriously, Joey Ryan got his name mentioned more then anyone else in that fifteen minute segment. I love it!
You've seen my comments over the last while, saying just how much I'm digging on what he's doing on his youtube. I honestly don't think the fans really care if it's the real deal or if it's a scripted part, the fact is he's got everyone talking about him and TNA.
So many people have started to tune into Impact now just to see if Joey Ryan is going to show up. It's fabulous. Just brilliant when you think about it. And you know me, I always think about stuff like that.
And it doesn't hurt at all that he's nice to look at. What, you really think I'm going to start behaving now... really?
Anyways, if all goes according to my plans, which of course they never do, but if things go the way I'm hoping in the next few days, I will finally be back home by Thursday.
Unless the surgeon calls tomorrow for the second surgery. yes, still waiting to have the wires taken out of my knee. And still hobbling around on a cane.
Anyways, that's the view from the sofa tonight.

Random Sunday thought over coffee
I was asked on a movie blogger's group, what movie do I hate?
That's simple. The Wizard of Oz.
It's too happy. Not in a feel good way, but a very fake plastic way. Like being stuck in a situation with people you totally dislike but are forced to play nice with sort of way.
And I get that it came out around the end of the great depression, and everyone was needing things to make them feel better, but still it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
So it's a Sunday, I'm having my second cup of coffee for the day, getting my post ready for my movie blogathon which seems like a waste of my time considering no one signed up for it... but bitterness aside... movies are the topic of the day.
There's crows in the tree outside the window. I like birds. Not so much when they smash into the windows scaring me but otherwise...
movies, yes right. I'll be posting the blogathon post in a few minutes over on the movie challenge blog. I've already posted the daily movie on there Day 227
kiss kiss noise

Saturday of nothing
Just thought I would once again, mention about the blogathon I'm having tomorrow... am suppose to be having tomorrow as it's turned into a bit thin... but anyways...
I'm stuck at the moment watching that damned Treehouse. Why? because mom is babysitting.
My distaste for kids has gotten stronger in the last year.
Nothing else happening at the moment. Time for coffee

post 1021
Or something to that effect.
I was asked what I thought about the big 1000th episode of Raw. Well, besides the fact that 3hours is too damned long, I didn't think much of it. I had taped it on the DVR because Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef trumps wrestling. And when I got around to watching it yesterday afternoon, I watched it in fastforward. Only took me 45minutes. Which, is all you really need for any show.
Might be why I like boxed sets so much, no commercials.
I've been toying with the idea of digging up an old script from 2001 that I had written. Re-working it and seeing what I can do with the character from it.
Which will mean, a new blog. Or maybe a re-issue of one of my old semi-dead ones? I'll let you my lovely Spudguns, know when I've figured it out a bit more.
This weekend will mark 22weeks since I shattered my knee. And two months since the last time I was in to the surgeon who said he was going to do the second surgery to remove the wires within a few weeks... two months without a word.
I think I have been forgotten. And the wires are starting to sort of stick up since all the swelling has gone down.
And that's the view from the sofa this afternoon

July 23rd just after midnight
And I want to get this post in before I go to bed.
Over on my movie challenge blog, I've just posted about my first blogathon. Well, the first one that is my little brain child anyways. As I haven't hosted one before.
Here is the info
I'd add the poster that I just spent the last hour making but I had frealing issues uploading it the first time around on the other blog.
kiss kiss noise!

My Thoughts on TNA Impact for the week of July 19th 2012
I used screen capture for this post
I managed to find a way to find it online. So here are the highlights...
We opened with an update on Hogan's surgery.
Cut to- The scoreboard for the Bound for Glory series. James Storm is top of the pops right now. So he got to call out who he wanted for the Open Fight Night. He called out Kurt Angle. They played his music twice but he did not come to the ring. When the camera man ran backstage, Angle was getting a five minute beat down by the Aces/Eights.
Cut to- Samoa Joe calling out Pope. I still want that trenchcoat. The match had barely gotten underway when Joe hit the ring, and I think he shattered a few teeth... but Joe managed to get the submission win earning himself 10 more points in the series.
Cut to- Robert Roode backstage still screaming that Austin Aries winning was a fluke.
Cut to- Hardy was about to call out someone, but Robbie E came out instead calling Hardy out. Hardy got counted out and the win went to Robbie E. Nice, I like it!
Cut to- a backstage shot of the next Gut Check tryout.
Cut to- ODB and Eric Young talking about his own show and fried chicken... you have to love those two.
Cut to- a flashback of the whole Daniels/Kaz/Styles storyline. Then Daniels and Kaz in the locker room talking about the whole thing.
Cut to- The Gut Check match. The dude's name was Sam Shaw and he went up against ... oh hang on he got hit up by the Aces/Eights. Dude...
Cut to- Anderson coming to the ring to call out A.J. Styles. After many back and forth near falls, Anderson managed to get the pin over Styles.
Cut to- RVD came to the ring and called out Daniels. Daniels got the win with a pin by using the ropes.
Cut to- Austin Aries in the locker room area talking about how he trumps everyone, and very smartly too I might add. Aries has this comedic edge to his promos that just works! (sorry I'll behave)
Cut to- an update of Hogan.
Cut to- a flashback of Bully Ray vs Parks from the other week. ppssssttt... Abyss you forgot to put your teeth in for that match...then a short promo with Parks and Garrett talking about the match from the other week.
Cut to- a Bound for Glory match between Magnus and Bully Ray. Bully Ray ended up getting the win with a pin.
Cut to- a promo announcing the fact Chavo will be joining TNA... bout damned time
Cut to- Robert Roode made his way to the ring for his match against Austin Aries. Which was going along at a rocking good pace until the Aces/Eights decided to freal it all up.
I really do hope a resolution is found soon so that Spike will put the shows back on their site, as I just can not afford the cable package here locally that carries Spike.
Till next time, love Ardeth Blood

Question on a July afternoon
What is it about soap operas that keeps us coming back?
Why do we watch? Is there something in human nature that really drives us to want to know what is really going on in other people's lives? Or are we just bored?
I am watching one of my favourite soaps, Bold and the Beautiful, and it's the same kind of thing we've seen millions of times before on other shows. But yet... here I am glued to the tv. Same sort of thing when I watch wrestling. It's all the same storylines either way, and we know that, yet we still end up glued to the tv.
Why?
And why, when we had up til last year, so many established soap operas; now the reality television style shows? I don't think we traded up at all.
Today, more time on my hands then even usual. But that's my question right now. What is it about other people's lives, fact or fiction, that makes us just want to know?
