This week is the start of Showtime’s new season of series exclusively on the showtime cable channel. I have been seeing short commercials for some of them on the other cable channels, which is a smart advertising more. I don’t usually watch much on showtime but I have to admit that these new shows or new seasons of shows that I’ve not known about sound really good.

Tonight is the start of Shameless and also House of Lies. After that is the new season of Californication.

I tried watching the Californication before, but didn’t like it. What can I say? I’m not a fan of David Duchovny and the show’s storyline of a guy who is addicted to sex and drugs is not the least bit appealing to me. But I’ll be happy to watch the other two.

Once of my Facebook friends has a restaurant downtown and its a little pricey, so I don’t go there. It’s more than the cost of the food. Its the drive downtown, the hassle of parking, the extra expense of gas and parking fees, and the time it takes to get there, eat and drive back. There has to be a special reason for me to want to do all that.

Maybe if he would start having songwriters come and sing, or highlight some local bands on the weekends, I would be more inclined to make the effort to go downtown and patronize his place.

But there are plenty of really good restaurants out here near my house, with free parking at the door and good food. So the downtown places are going to have to do something to make themselves special.

I have really long hair and sometimes I get so tired of fixing it all the time. I have to wash it at least every other day and I buy the best quality hair products to keep it healthy and shiny. I have a drawer full of hair accessories that I hardly ever use. Maybe I should start putting it up and using a curling iron again. They say long hair is so easy, but I disagree. To keep it looking nice you have to spend a lot of time and money on your long hair. It’s the women who have really short hair who have it easy!

I’m hungry and need to cook up some dinner. I went to the grocery store on Monday and spent almost $200. So I have a lot of food in the house. The refrigerator is full, the freezer is full and the pantry shelves are full. But nothing looks good to me. All this food is boring and the same old thing. I think I am just getting sick of my own cooking.

The best thing about October is the fact that we have Halloween and get lots of candy. I have one serious sweet tooth. I remember my mother telling me that I would have rotten teeth if I didn’t stop eating so much candy as a kid. Well, my teeth are pretty good, despite all that candy. I guess I have good, strong genes for the tooth and bones that I enjoy.
