Still no TV’s at Curtin Bluffs in Antigua. I knew it going in this time and prepared pretty well. Last year, all I had was Jimmy Fallon on YouTube, Netflix, and alcohol to keep the TV withdrawal shakes away. This year was a whole new ball game. Shout out to the following for making my vacation Xanax free: 1) moviehdmaxx.com where we were able to watch The Intern (Surprisingly enjoyable) , Spectre (Not my thing), Deadpool (LOVED), The Danish Girl (Good) & Creed (FNL’s MBJ and Sly...AWESOME) I’m not asking any questions and hoping this site sticks around as long as possible. Use it while ya can folks it’s awesome but I’m betting someone gets wise to this thing and pulls it down soon. (If you are going to use it, let me know, need to give you a few guiding principles) 2) Netflix was a nice to have, but I didn’t use it as much as I thought I would. I watched MEET THE PATELS (loved) and two new Netflix series: LOVE and COOKED. I'm not done with either one of them yet but enjoying both so far.
3) TIVO! I owned the very first TiVO ever. I’ve never had anything but passionate love for this thing. It’s only gotten better and better over the years. After the past week of being able to access almost all the shows I recorded at home, my heart has only grown more in love. Sure there were some shows that didn’t allow me to stream them, but that wasn’t TiVO’s fault. It was HBO’s, Showtimes, FX’s and USA’s. I was still able to watch everyyyyyything else. When I wondered why the F I couldn’t watch Vinyl, Billions, OJ and Suits, I sent Tivosupport a note on Twitter and within seconds they got back to me and confirmed that it was a program licensing thing. While I had their attention, I gave them an idea for an improvement and they thought it was such a great idea they submitted it to their programmers. I’ll let you know if/when my idea becomes a reality. Interesting that the networks I PAY a PREMIUM for I couldn’t access. I even went so far as to buy the HBO NOW app and still no Vinyl. That’s just wrong. ( I already cancelled and got my refund) I don’t understand why the authentication process shouldn’t be good enough for all Nets. Isnt’ it supposed to be a TV EVERYWHERE world now? I WILL take it up with them when I get back to my regular boring life and have nothing better to do but harass cable networks but for now just a huge HEART and a HUGE thank you to Tivo. Like my husband and son…I didn’t think I could love you more than I already do and yet…I do!

THE OTHER STUFF
I had a whole loooooooooong list of news items and witty comments from last week, but after re-reading them, I realized it was already old news so I bagged all of it.
-I do have a few of my favorite late night clips from last week for you guys. Even though they're "old" they're still too good to not share. It's my WWTM duty to insure that you see these.
First up, from the Grammy's, Car Karaoke with James Corden and Justin Bieber
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn0YDZ3wifUAlso from Grammy night...Jimmy Kimmel's Mean Tweets Music Edition #3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y8bUT8UXUAThis one's long but hilarious...Steven Colbert's Wheel of News segment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWTvVjuXuhoIf you haven't seen Deadpool yet, you REALLLLLLY should, it's such a great twist on the superhero genre. James Corden loved it so much, he wanted in on the action. Check it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udmek2zsURo-I don't normally report on gossip but it's SUCH huge news for all of us Big Brother fans that I just have to discuss the big Hollywood breakup of the week. Liz and Austin from last Summer are officially O V E R! Devastating news. Actually more like shocking. Shocking that they lasted this long! Austin shaved that hideous baby beard for Liz and now all he has to show for it is a naked chin and a broken heart. If you'd have bet me a million dollars that they would have lasted more than a week outside the BB house I would have taken that bet...6 months is insane. RIP Lizstin.
