Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe

I've got another quick recap on tonight's One Tree Hill:

Nathan made the slamball team and is playing on the same team as Owen. His previous back problem does not seem to be a real problem (yet) but Haley is still worried about it. Everyone except Lucas comes out to watch the game and Mouth interviews him.

In the meantime, Gigi (Mouth's former high school girlfriend) is back in town and is his intern at work. She constantly flirts with him, which is bothering his current girlfriend Millicent.

Brooke does not know what to do with her empty clothing store but she just finished making Peyton's wedding dress. Owen is trying to win her back with Nathan's help.

Sam (the foster child living with Brooke) is still creating havoc. She threw a party in Brooke's store late one night without Brooke's permission and took Jamie, whom Brooke was babysitting, with her. The store got trashed and Peyton's wedding dress was ruined from spraypaint. Brooke is furious and Sam apologizes.

Haley takes Jamie to Quentin's grave so he could talk to him. She also works on her music.

Peyton takes a trip to watch her older brother Derrick get a medal at a Marines Corp program. They hadn't seen each other in a couple years but she promises to use her music connections in order to put on a concert for him and his Marine buddies.

Lucas is hesitant when a man named Julian comes into town. Julian expresses his interest in making Lucas' book into a novel. After all Lucas' friends and agent push him to go through with the deal, Lucas signs the contract. However, in the end we discover Peyton has a history with Julian that Lucas is unaware of...

One Life To Live

I am thrilled to say I have actually found time over Fall Break to sit down and watch television!

Although basically I have been watching all the episodes of One Life To Live that I have missed (on TIVO) over the past couple of weeks.

Yes, OLTL is a soap opera, but this show has some great storylines. To be honest, I used to absolutely hate soap operas. OLTL is the only one I watch.

Multiple storylines are going on at one time during an episode, but they are very easy to follow and really interesting. Some of the current storylines include a beloved character in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound, a pregnant 16-year-old girl and her three teenage friends, a woman with a split personality hiding her twin sister and her sister's boyfriend in the basement, and other crazy situations.

Check it out at 2 p.m. every Monday through Friday if you are looking for some excitement!

Choosing My Own Way of Life

Here's a quick recap of tonight's fantastic episode of One Tree Hill:

Mick, an older musician recording in Peyton's studio, finally reveals he is her father. Unfortunately, after Peyton finds him drunk and passed out in her studio one morning, she decides to let him go. Peyton is upset that Mick couldn't tell her the truth from the beginning and she wants to know why she was given up as a child.

Lucas begins his first day of book signing in Omaha with a new editor. The turnout is poor (he only signed two books) and his editor explains that the rest of his tour is cancelled. However, Mouth, who recently moved to Omaha for a broadcasting job, spends the day with Lucas. Later, they both decide love is the most important part of their lives and they both return to Tree Hill.

Brooke is making progress after handing over the rights to her clothing store to Victoria. Her assistant Millicent helps her recuperate. Brooke also tells Peyton the truth about being attacked.

Haley is struggling to connect with one of her new students, a freshman named Samantha. However, Haley learns that Sam's disruptive behavior stems from being a foster child with an unstable past. She offers to help Sam but she refuses the advice. Haley mentions to Brooke that she should seek adopting Sam. At first Brooke says "no", but after reflecting on her childhood, Brooke offers Sam a room in her house to stay.

Nathan gets called to tryout for slamball and play on a team with Owen (the bartender Brooke was romantically linked to last season). Nathan feels uncertain about playing at first because of his back injury, but after talking it over with Haley, she tells him to go through with it.

Skills and Deb are still together and making things awkward for the Scott family. The relationship is annoying Nathan because one of his best friends is dating his mother. However, Nathan's son Jamie thinks it's cool..HaHa.

After four years, Dan still feels the guilt of murdering his brother, Keith. Deb, his ex-wife pretty much tells him he's scum and Nathan tells him that he and Lucas hate him.

The next new episode premieres next Monday at 9 on the CW!

Heroes

Hey everyone! I do not have time right now to critique a show (because I have not had time to watch a full tv show in days), but I would like to mention a show that I think is definitely worth watching.

Heroes is currently into its third season and it is still fantastic! It's about all different types of people with supernatural powers and the ultimate goal is for these people to come together in order to save the world.

This show follows the backgrounds of these characters and the journeys they are taking to conquer the world. In the mean time, they are battling an evil man named Sylar along with other enemies.

Now I know many of you may be thinking this is not the type of show you would be interested in, but please take my word for it that it's worth giving a chance. To me, the show is not cheesy or weird. It's drama-filled and exciting; I have not been bored with an episode yet!

Heroes comes on Monday nights at 9:00.

Paris Hilton's My New BFF

Seriously...are there really people out there who want to be best friends with Paris Hilton? And people are actually participating in a reality show to do it? LAME!

To be honest, I could only stand watching 20 mintues of this show before I had to turn it off.

This new MTV show features around 20 possible BFF's who must complete challenges to prove they will do anything in order to become Hilton's BFF.

In the episode I saw, she had all the contestants line up in an airport hanger and she told them that in order for them to hang out with her, they must look the part. Hilton made them all get makeovers, change their hairstyles and wear more fashionable clothing.

Not trying to sound too harsh but, I think my IQ dropped a little after watching this.

Obviously, money does not buy you happiness, or in this case, friends.
