Greetings! Sorry I have been away so long. I know you have all been awaiting my travisations, so here goes:
1) Roseanne: Season One. C'mon, you knew that was coming. Roseanne has been a favorite show of mine since it's original air date back in the late 80's. Going back is quite the experience because I'm watching episodes that I haven't seen in years. I'm watching these episodes through new, experienced, and (dare-I-say-it) wiser eyes. The brilliance of this show WAS the reality of the situations. Yet, watching it now I also see that part of the brilliance was also in the performances and the fact that you believed this was a family and that they loved each other. The chemistry between Roseanne and Dan (John Goodman) is beyond any other relationship I have ever seen in a sitcom. It's also interesting to see that the original D.J. was a completely different actor in the series pilot. You see the beginning phases of Darlene's turn for the worst and Becky's boy mismanaging. D.J. is far cuter in the original season, progressively getting uglier and less interesting as the years progress. Nothing much happens with Jackie in this season. She becomes more of a plot builder later on. There is her lover George Clooney though, before he blossomed into a mega star. Some of the most memorable episodes are in this season such as "Toto, We're Not In Kansas Anymore" where Lanford is hit hard by a tornado. It's also always fun to see the first appearance of many of the characters like Ned Beatty as Dan's father and Estelle Parsons as Roseanne's mother. So I'd highly suggest going out and buying this. If you are tentative because you are unfamiliar with it then at least rent it.
2. George Forman Grills: These things are amazing. I didn't start using mine until about a month ago. I'd used them before but I never really grasped how effective they are. It has single-handedly caused me to cook more. I've been cooking steaks and chicken like nobody's business. I go down to the meat market and get myself some fresh steak and some marinated chicken, some wine, and come home and cook a nice meal for myself and a couple friends. Cooking for others is also very travisational.

What is up with all the spam posts lately? I got one on my website too! This is bullshit people, stop posting spam on our blogs assholes! Anyway- about your Travisations...I have always hated Roseanne, and have tried to give it a chance in re-runs thinking maybe it was just my young distaste keeping me from enjoying it...but alas, I still just can't stand Roseanne. Everyone else on the show is fantastic (except DJ). I may give it a chance if Michael buys it (which he probably will). Anyway, be sure to watch the credits to see who wrote the episodes, because you know Joss Whedon was one of the main writers for the first 3 or 4 seasons. Talk to you later.
