The Way I See It!
I’m flirting with a potential new guilty pleasure. I’ve started watching Nashville. The jury is out on whether it will become my guilty pleasure. I love country music. I like drama. I love soapy dramas. I have since I was a child. I’ve been a fan of Dallas, Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, One Tree Hill, Brothers & Sisters and most of the daytime dramas.

So the ESPN Kansas broadcast started out in typical NASCAR on ESPN fashion – the Countdown show had video, but no audio. Yesterday’s Countdown show wasn’t shown, as usual, due to a college football game. It is a mystery to me that I see a zillion ESPN channels in the channel guide, but regularly at the scheduled time for Countdown I’m stuck watching some other sporting event. Now interestingly at race time there was a notification at the bottom of the screen that the race would be broadcast on ESPN Classic. It seems to me that it would be a better idea to schedule the race on a channel that does not have something else scheduled during that time, and have a plan B that is announced early when problems arise. When I checked ESPN Classic a few hours before the race the channel guide indicated that it was a channel that was not a part of my cable package. That’s unacceptable. It doesn’t really matter if it is or is not. NASCAR is a sport of the people and should be readily available to the people. I wish they would put it back on ABC or ESPN should have a channel dedicated to motorsports, or dedicated to programming which conflicts with current broadcasts – basically a dedicated overflow channel.

I get home from work; exhausted and stressed. I turn on the television and check out the offerings on the channel guide. I see the following description:
Pontypool
Movie, Horror, Suspense (2008) Stephen McHattie, Lisa Houle.
A virus that spreads through the English language turns people into zombies.
Since I’m not quite ready to dive into anything else I decide to give it a try. This is an amazing movie. For anyone who loves movies, interesting, quirky movies, this one is a must see. I expected a zombie movie, but I didn’t expect anything more. This one has a bit more to offer. Check out Pontypool the next time you have the opportunity.
The 2010 Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship begins today under a partly cloudy sky in Loudon New Hampshire. Baby Genevieve Marie is on pit road with Daddy Jimmie. Continue reading “2010 Fall Loudon 1st Race of the Chase”
As we reach the halfway point of the NASCAR season, a surprise winner emerges in the Windy City (well, near the windy city to be more precise) MWR’s David Reutimann. It was a very emotional win for Reuti-Tooty and the Legend Buzzy Reutimann was there to experience the celebration. While this was Reutimann’s second career win, nobody but the announcers seem to really count the first one – a victory in Charlotte when the race was ended by rain and Reutimann didn’t pit with the leaders. Congrats to Reutimann and Michael Waltrip Racing. Continue reading “2010 Summer Chicagoland Saturday”
