lost<\/b><\/a> bound to be one of my favourite shows when it gets to australia (when?), i only got to see the first 3 or 4 episodes but it was goood. Regan didn’t like the idea of a plane crashing though, haha. we still had 4 or 5 flights left to take at this stage! (eta: just saw that ‘lost’ will be on ch7 feb 2005!!!)<\/i><\/p>\n at the time, we also caught new episodes of oprah<\/a>, joey<\/a>, csi:new york<\/a>, wife swap<\/a>, survivor<\/a>, the amazing race 5 finale<\/a>, listen up<\/a>, lax<\/a>, joan of arcadia<\/a> and a couple of kooky day time talk shows that hadn’t made our shores yet. what’s with all the court tv shows? judge joe brown<\/a>, judge judy<\/a>, judge mathis<\/a>, judge hatchett<\/a>.. <\/p>\n while i’m at it.. what’s with all the drug commericals? i was only ‘solidly’ watching tv for 2 days but i saw so<\/i> many pharmaceutical advertisements… got a headache? you need this. got a stomachache? take two of these. allergies? impotency? metabolism problems? arthritic? pregnant? depressed? congested? maybe you don’t need drugs, here’s a anti drug ad for good measure. now back to the drive thru chemist or your drive through bank… american tv is a wonderfully colourful place \ud83d\ude09 i haven’t even noted all the fast food joints yet, haha! <\/p>\n as you can see, i had a good time in the us. haha. being there for the first time is like being a kid in a candy store. going to walmart was a big deal! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" i just realised i never made a post on my usa\/tv\/food experience… during our first week there, i managed to sit down and get my first taste of it and being a tv-aholic, it was gooooood! passions, if you read back you’ll find that i’m a passions ‘fan’. we’re about 3 years behind, so imagine […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anything-everything"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/&photos\/ellentv.jpg\")
the ellen show<\/b><\/a> i love ellen. the opening dancing is cute! i don’t think it’ll be shown in australia.. so i gobbled this show up while i was there<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/sh1ft.org\/&photos\/carlsjr.jpg\")
99c nuggets at wendy’s<\/a> and that giant can of tomato sauce (i mean, ketchup) with the little tiny white cups to put it in. awesome. ‘large’ cup of ice tea at carl’s jr<\/a> = a bucket of tea that i’ll never finish. classic. those really small burgers you stick in the microwave for 30 secs and they come out all yummy. (i can’t believe i can’t remember what they’re called). pizza slices that are as big as my head. the lack of juice bars everywhere (or australia has a serious overflow of them). broccoli salad and red ranch sauce. <\/p>\n
