Show Me The Reunion

It felt like Channukah came early this year when E! played one of my favorite “reunion movies”, Sex and The City The Movie”. It was great to see my favorite 4 gal pals back together again and even though it wasn’t the first time I’ve seen the movie (try 36.5 times to be exact) but nonetheless, it was as exciting as the first time I saw this movie. It got me thinking about other shows that need to follow in Minolo Blanic footsteps of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte and get a move on with their reunion movies. There has been high hopes for years that the cast of Friends would get together one last time for a hit big screen reunion. I know many of the cast is busy with their UBER successful post-friends career, including Courtney Cox (Arquette) tending to her hilarious show Cougar Town, and her (and or Chelsea Handlers) besty Jennifer Anniston who’s movie career is so smoking that she rakes in a cool 20 million per film. I’m sure Lisa Kudrow would find time from filming her underrated show on Showtime, Web Therapy, to get back together with the gang one last time for a cup of Joe at Central Perk. It’s not to say our male friends have not experienced much success since their parting, but let’s just say, a Ross for example might be much more “available” to do some work than lets say a Rachel. Another group that I would LOVE to see get back together is the fabulous four funny friends of Will and Grace. Sure, we got a glimpse of their future in the last episode, and I can only imagine how wonderfully fulfilling it is for Will to have his son room next to Grace’s daughter in college, but come on, we want to know what lead up to that point. Doe Karen take notes from the Sonja Morgan handbook and land herself a role on a version of Real Housewives of NYC adding a fun new dynamic that allows us to enjoy her quirky and raunchy personality with the new twist of America’s obsession with Reality TV…, and what is Jack like now that he is breadwinner of the dynamic Karen/Jack duo! Does he employ his own version of Rosario not only giving her a companion but an alibi! What shows would you like to see reunite?

Reunited...and it feels so good...

Last night's episode was smooth like butter...that's right. We dished on our pet peeves & even hear from our number one fan, Steve (we've missed you Steve!!!). Now it's on to some big changes. First on the list, I will be re-locating from Colorado back to Baltimore (what what) which means that after an unbearably long separation of 4 years, my co-host/besty & I will be reunited. To celebrate this amazing reunion, as well as our new co-habitation (can't wait to see what fodder for radio that brings...),we will be hosting our first ever live episode all about reunions. How many great acts throughout history have undergone breakups, separations, breakdowns, and fall outs...only to be reunited with a BANG to the joy of their friends & fans? Think show casts, movies, musicians/bands, celebrity couples, fictional characters...Mike & Cassandra... As Sorry We're Perfect begins this new step of our lives, we believe that our show is going to grow by leaps & bounds. Once on the same coast, in the same time zone, in the same house, is there anything we can't achieve??? Think WORLD DOMINATION! To be continued...

Pet Peeves

It seems to me that one of the biggest topics of conversation at my job are people's pet peeves. Every single shift at the restaurant, I hear several employees begin stories with, "One of my biggest pet peeves is when..." followed by something that either another employee or a customer has done to irk them. Now granted, I have just as many pet peeves as the next person, but do we sometimes get a little out of control with getting annoyed? Because that's what pet peeves basically are...they are the little behaviors or mannerisms that people do which annoy an individual. The problem is that usually these are not things that annoy everyone-they're not even necessarily annoying at all. They just bother certain people. They're specific to individuals. So for example, it may drive me absolutely crazy when people blow their nose in public. I hate it. It sickens me. It makes me want to throw up. I'm torn between wanting to punch them in the face or run screaming from the room. But most people couldn't care less. I know this because a)tons of people blow their nose in public & b)people look at me like I'm crazy when I let them in on this little pet peeve of mine. And sometimes it's funny when people tell you their pet peeves. I enjoy a good vent session as much as the next person. However, it seems that some people are annoyed by EVERYTHING. So at what point is it ok to let a person know that something they're doing bothers you? If it's just some harmless little thing that for some reason sets you & you alone off, should you mention it and hold that person responsible or expect them to stop that behavior? Or should you just learn to live with it, realizing that you're the difficult one? For example, I know a girl who is annoyed by everything. When people wear perfume it's too strong. When people hum or sing or whistle it's annoying. If she gets asked a question, it's stupid. It's one thing to have pet peeves, but is there a possibility that sometimes people are just a little too easily irritated? To the point where we all have to walk on egg shells around them? Should we all just maybe...lighten up? As we get ready to air our show on pet peeves, I'm interested to see what we come up with. While many of us might share pet peeves, there are some really unusual ones out there. And when it comes to dealing with pet peeves, what is the best way to handle them?

My pet peve

one of my biggest pet peves occurs when I am driving. I live on a "main" street in Cockeysville and upon exiting my driveway, I face a major intersection. I can usually time it right when I head out to work that if I leave just in time I will catch the green left earrow guiding me happily toward work. However, sometimes I am forced to miss this empowering arrow, one that only happens every 4 minuted, because someone in front of me finds that its much more important to text and or update their facebook status than pay attention to driving....consequently I can unexpectantedly ne 4 minutes late to work....people who text while they drive are among my top pet peves
