My new Addiction.. BBT!

I have so many addictions and more obsession...
This is my most recent addiction..
This show has geek written all over it, but honestly with their 3rd season now, this might be the funniest sitcom I have ever seen!
The Big Bang Theory really works for me.. maybe I'm a geek at heart!





My two Favorite characters are Rajesh Koothrappali from India. An Astrophysicist who has a social anxiety that is suppressed by alcohol and cannot talk to women if not intoxicated. Then comes Sheldon Cooper, or should I say Dr. Sheldon Cooper MSc, PhD. from Texas Who works as a Theoretical physicist. His character is way too complicated to explain, must be observed to understand!

I give it 2 thumbs up!

Adventures in another cooking show

I think we established the fact that I'm into culinary arts and gastronomy, which makes me get drawn to Tv shows that resembles a kitchen and food in any way.
So my recent obsession is
this



Based on the memoir of chef Anthony Bourdain, it capture the insanity that goes on out of the customer's sight, in the Kitchen of a top restaurant. In one episode; on Nolita's opening night, a worker's fingertip goes missing, and a food critic gets seated next to a bathroom door!


I'm loving it.. it's very funny.

Last night's movie...








I got occupied with a few things at home... didn't notice the time...called (....) and took a rain check on our dinner plans...

it was too late to go out anyways and I'm tired.. but I'm not sleepy..so I decided I'll just stay in and watch a movie.

I found an art film.. a German film I bought a while back.. but never came around to seeing it.


Mostly Martha.. (bella Martha) 2001


Directed by: Sandra Nettelbeck

Genre: Comedy/Romance/Drama

a "food movie".. a romantic comedy about a thirtysomething year old top chef in a four-star restaurant in Hamburg, Germany, who finds love in the kitchen. Chef Martha (Martina Gedeck), a perfectionist who lives to create culinary masterpieces. Her sister dies in a car accident which turns her orderly world upside down and she takes in her eight-year-old niece Lina, when a fun-loving sous-chef named Mario (Sergio Castellitto) who is hired to help out in the busy restaurant attempts to win her hardened heart.

a bit of humor.. a bit of romance.. and alot of food. A lovely, lighthearted movie with a beautiful soundtrack.


highly enjoyable... what a way to end my day ...




I'd give it...

Nip / Tuck: Intense, Dramatic and very funny.



First season, second season and now the third season will be released on DVD on August 29th.
What a show!! I got so addicted to it that once I got the First season, and from the first episode I got hooked. It's an eye-popping, surprising and completely compelling series, revolving around the lives of two very successful plastic surgions who live in Miami, Sean McNamara and Christian Troy of McNamara/Troy. Living in a society were looks are everything and perfection is seeked, you find those two partners who have different values and ethics struggle in doing the right thing. Sean who's suffering marital problems and is very serious about his job, often finds himself running around trying to fix Chritian's mistakes, while Christian is busy dating all his female clients and conducting shady business deals for the love of money.

if you're squeamish, this is not the show for you. I know I am! but I'm already addicted so I close my eyes during those real bloody scenes.

I'm so hooked on the theme song as well - A Perfect Lie by The Engine Room.
