'How to Make it in America': the tv show with an edge
I am so glad that I found out about this show you wouldn't believe. Life Unexpected and How to Make it in America, they both help me survive the week's hassles at work and at home. Really!
'How to Make it America' is on its first season, it began mid February and I've been able to watch it right from the pilot. We're now at episode eight and I am so looking forward to Monday's night! (it airs every Sunday night on HBO). It's fun, it's modern, it's well acted, it's New York City! No vampires, no airplane crashes, no drama. I recommend it to all of you who like modern and urban stories. Photography and editing are so innovative and I forgot to say that I can smell Emmys.
The story: "How to Make It in America" follows two enterprising Brooklyn twenty somethings as they hustle their way through New York City, determined to achieve the American Dream. Trying to make a name for themselves in New York's competitive fashion scene, Ben Epstein (Greenberg) and his friend and business partner Cam Calderon (Rasuk) use their street knowledge and connections to bring their ambitions to fruition. With the help of Cam's cousin Rene (Guzman), who is trying to market his own high-energy drink, and Their well-connected friend Domingo ("Kid Cudi") Set Out the entrepreneurs to make it big, encountering along the Obstacles to Their Way That will require ingenuity to overcome.
Assuming that my phone was the first beautiful photos and now they suck, and do not understand why, after work yesterday, at 14.30 I a jump in the center when the mass was still at home and I got these little things that I like very much. I apologize for the photos are shocking, especially for the low quality: /
I welcome you to my last polish, green grass, is truly amazing. I do not know what I'll put it but sometimes I'll put it!
earrings from € 3.90 in a jewelry store can not remember why the name, however, is crammed with stuff, you have to look around because it's also full of things garish, but I always find something I like. And I like these a lot! This dress I saw him ten days ago by Zara fast walking in the street. Not if you go shopping while you drive or walk fast, I do, it's a bit 'dangerous driving but I do I can do the same. Walking is less dangerous, but I do not mean of course the window-shopping, shop windows, watching all the obvious ones, I can see everything inside, I have a strong view and analyze what might now be interested in three seconds. Seriously! And the car, if they are in the queue then, even better! I just saw this Pucci-esque dress (beautiful) and the photo does not do justice, however, are clickable to see the details (fuzzy, lol). The particular neck top with buttons behind closed ... and the color and mixed fabric silk / viscosa..è really nice and very Pucci-esque! And the price was nice, 50 €, you can do!
just did not want to start my new blog in this way and I swear that this is a coincidence and not seeking a replacement for Foxy. I swear! ghghghghgghghgh:)
TV shows. Here we go again. Part One. The busy momma
I do not practice any kind of sport for centuries and not hardly ever watch television, a lot of time reading books, a few hours, but instead I watch many tv shows. Those who know me know, and I know many friends of JR & F share the same passion. The reasons are many but I think the main aspect of this love for the TV series comes from the fact that a story is told slowly episodes and the pleasure of having to wait a week to see the next chapter is unparalleled. I hate going to the movies for many reasons, the first is that I do not like watching movies with strangers locked in a room with a volume for the deaf, but when a movie (on DVD) that touched my heart stops, I'm sad because it was all spent an hour and a half. Beautiful but short. While with a live show is a love long, we fell in love and waiting with anticipation to see what happens the bets, and it is really a deep relationship, if we think of Lost, for us at times, has flirted obsession! Currently I follow
different. I love Mad Men, V, Glee and recently I have a passionate Unexpected Life and How to Make it in America. Flash Forward I found a scary flop, especially senseless and ridiculous and also Fringe, the third episode I threw it in when traveling through the brain in the pools of water. I do not like science fiction, or at least I like when everything is 'fake', as in V, but in FF and Fringe, there is a mixture of genres and that's why I look like big dick and I can not follow .
Unexpected Life is a TV drama and I love them. Apart from Lost and Friends, is my favorite genre. I invite you to follow him, we are only at 1x08, of course, for those who like stories about family relationships, etc.. He has been termed 'Juno meets Gilmore Girls'. Nothing to do with vampires, cops, homicide, or aliens, but they are stories of ordinary people. A girl (Lux) for 16 years, very hip, he returns to his natural parents who do not speak and see the last year of high school when the girl (mother of Lux) at the time she became pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption. They are over 30, she was a radio speaker famous and beautiful, Cate (come on! But with C, Roswell Liz) about to marry (with his radio co-host, Ryan, the gay Dawson's Creek) him (Baze) former quarterback, manager of a bar, beautiful and unreliable. From there it spread throughout history and various trouble .... and of course there is a beautiful triangle. But after the trauma of J & K do not even try to get attached. Cate Baze and I like a lot, he really is a piece of prime beef, but those that I like, the story is wonderful so far, but again, having been traumatized by jate, I'm afraid to shipp because I know I could spend years hoping to see things that will not be realized. Although damage to the couples as they did the Dartlon there and wants among other things here have already had sex in the pilot, hahahahaa! There is a nice video on the tube, I point out to you to see the couple, but then again, I do not look like the time I saw a video jate till you drop .. I swear! believe me!
Here's a much shorter version for non-Italian speakers. I have not Been Practising Any kind of sports in years, I do not watch Any programs on Italian television, I used to read books But Now not as much as I used to. The only thing I really like are tv shows. The main reason for this passion I guess is linked to the fact that a story is told through episodes and having to wait for a whole week to see what happens next, is priceless. I don't like going to the movies. First of all, I don't like watching a move with strangers at such a loud volume but whenever I watch a good film on dvd, I'm kind of sad at the end because one hour and a half is not enough. I enjoyed it but it was far too short. Whereas fans can get passionate about tv shows and look forward to seeing how the story unfolds. And with Lost I guess we were more than passionate, I'd say even obsessed from time to time!
I am currently watching a few series. I love Mad Men, V, Glee and recently I got hooked on Life Unexpected and How to Make it in America.
Life Unexpected is a tv drama, the genre I prefer. It's about a 16 year-old girl, Lux, who found her birth parents while getting away from foster care. Her parents haven't seen each other since high school when her mom (Cate, a successful bride-to-be radio speaker) got pregnant and had a kid with Baze, the handsome unreliable quarterback (who's now a bar owner) . Cate gave that kid (Lux) away. And of course there's a beautiful love triangle. Yet again. Cate, her fiancé Ryan, and her high-school crush, Baze. Here's a nice video of Cate and Baze but after Jate, I swore I'd never ship any kind of fictional couples anymore. Jate is far too painful and now I will only enjoy the episodes for what they are. Even if they already had sex in the pilot! Are you listening Darlton? ha! These two look too cute together!
Some friends already know this while it may be news for others, but I came to the conclusion that when Lost finally wraps up *insert dramatic pause* I will be closing 'Foxy&Jack Rule! ' blog for good. There are several reasons behind this. F&JR was initially created for all the Italian hardcore Jack fans out there, and when the series and Jack's story are over *insert another dramatic pause* there won't be a real reason to keep the blog running.
The blog was also made to support the actor whose career I will be also following on my new blog, but right now I don't feel like managing and updating a blog only dedicated to him. Besides, his acting career outside Lost has been limited to a couple of minor roles in a few movies and therefore, the blog wouldn't be that active! Secondly, I really wanted to have a personal blog where I could talk about myself and the things I like such as the other tv shows I've been watching, new recipes I've been trying out, and all my shopping of course! I'm sure there'll be plenty of new topics to be talked over on this new blog :) The last reason is due to Matthew's attitude towards his fans and fame in general. It's not like he's being rude or anything like that, but especially since Rome, my rate of fangirlism has dramatically decreased. Let's say he has a very peculiar way of relating to his fans and fame. Considering he's no Clooney or Pitt, the way he sometimes reacts does not make him incredibly friendly. If he for example, came to my own town, not too many people on the street would recognize him. But if he walks around the Colosseum, it's obvious that people would stop him and start taking pics. Just because it's a tourist attraction and there are mainly foreigners who know who he is! I also know that he's no famewhore, that he's very shy and he'd be living just fine without being a celebrity but let's be honest, he really never made an effort to relate to his fans, never smiled much, never seemed too involved or pleased. Or at least this is what us girls from the blog noticed at the events we took place (Rome and Franci @ the Sunset on the Beach). Fair enough, but these are the main reaons for me closing the F&JR. I wish Matthew nonetheless a very successful career! And of course, he remains the hottest and most good-looking actor on the planet! Ironically, I've just become friend with the real Kristoffer Polaha on Facebook, the actor who plays Baze on Life Unexpected, and he too is married with two kids! This is for being a snotty celebrity, ha!
My dear friends, I hope that we'll keep in touch on my new blog and as you can see I'll be having two versions, Italian & English so that also my friends who don't master our language we'll be able to read and post! Let's hope that when Lost is over no more lurkers will be copying and posting our comments around the web !
A big hug to all my new and old friends from Eli aka La busy momma :)
*********************************************** *********** Some I had already communicated in private, others may not know it yet, but when Lost * insert dramatic sigh * is finished, our Foxy & Jack Rule! close its doors. For a number of reasons. The first is that the F & JR was initially created for all the great Italian fans of Jack and ending the series would not make much sense to have a blog about Jack saw that his story will be another post * * dramatic pause ended forever.
Then, the blog was created to support the actor who will always follow him even through my new personal blog, but for a variety of reasons I did not feel to manage and update a blog dedicated to him alone. The first reason is the small number of investments in film and everything else, we talk about a couple of appearances per year and the blog would not be very active! The second reason is that I wanted to create my own blog to talk about me and everything that interests me, as well as other TV shows that I follow that are now beginning to be many:) Not to mention the kitchen and the shopping:) I'm sure we have much to discuss together, for those who want to follow me here!
The third reason is that from London, my fangirlism began to fade more and more, we say that Matthew has a strange relationship with the fans, so define it here. Not that he has behaved badly or that, but to me his way of dealing with her being 'famous' does not really like, because I do not think it makes very nice, especially considering that it is neither nor Brad Pitt and George Clooney if it were Piacenza for a ride in the center would recognize in three. course at the Coliseum, it is normal for someone you photographers, because there are many foreigners is not so complicated .. to imagine! I know that Matt would live well without being famous, and that is so, but let's say that you have never tried a lot of empathy with his fans, at least on occasions when there was me or other members of my blog ( Franci see the Sunset this year). Which is why, will always follow him, wish him luck and a lot of job opportunities, but a blog dedicated to him, no, not anymore! And of course, remains the most beautiful and sexiest actor on the planet, ah that would not let anyone off!
conclude by telling you that are ironically now become 'friends' on Facebook Kristoffer Polaha (the real one), heheee, actor Baze who plays in Unexpected Life. Here, an example of a famous person who you know and relate with the fans .. well he is married with two children!
Friends, I hope you will keep in touch here and you can see, I'll do two versions of the blog: Italian and English so they can also read the friends who do not know our language. Hoping of course that finished Lost madmen who lurk and then copy and paste the comments in the web disappear! An embrace the old and new friends from Eli aka The Busy Momma! :)
