Go Kendra... Go Kendra!

Ever since we moved to our new home and signed up for digital television, life hasn't quite been the same. For those of you who are familiar with TiVo and its' ability to record shows at any given time, then maybe you'll share my excitement.

Yup, T-Home for Telekom has that videorecorder function too.

So anyway, when we signed up for one of the bigger packages, we received channels such as Hustler, Discovery, TNT and Disney.

But if i had to choose between a particular channel that stands out for from the rest, i would pick E! Entertainment. The reason being is every programme is in English. If you live in a country where you can flip the channel and understand every language spoken, you may not understand what i'm talking about.

I remember when i first moved to Germany, i was completely frustrated that i couldn't understand a single word. And every time an infomercial was on, i would struggle to pronounce/repeat the telephone numbers being yelled out at me. Having access to digital or cable television was a luxury we couldn't afford.

So for nearly three years, i've had no choice but watch every programme in German. And if you've ever heard Jamie Oliver dubbed in German, maybe you'll find it just as disturbing as me.

So anyway back to my new obsession with E!

Now you can imagine how excited i was when i got to finally hear English and to be able to be in the next room and still understand every single word being said on TV.

The fact that i have the option to watch shows that haven't been dubbed in German is not only a miracle in itself but one that i am very thankful for.

And much like those housewives who get sucked into watching shows such as Days Of Our Lives, i've been lured into watching one reality show in particular and it's called, Kendra. If you haven't heard of her, she used to be one of the Playboy bunnies. In fact, she was one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends at one point.

I don't know about you but how in the hell does a crusty old man lure girls a quarter of his age? It's beyond my understanding that's for sure. Maybe it's money, maybe it's fame.

*Shrugs*

And after watching dozens of episodes, Kendra has managed to change my perception of what i thought Playboy bunnies were cut out to be and that included the stereotype of being fake boobed, blond and nothing much else. Although i'm sure the latter would probably best describe some of them.

So then i saw the episode where she's writing the memoir called Sliding into Home. She mentions one part of the book is about how she became Hef's girlfriend and life in the Playboy mansion and then i thought, i soooo want to read that.

I was serious.

And after much anticipation and stalking DHL's track and trace site...


My book order from Amazon.de, along with my stash of soy products from Alles-Vegatarisch, arrived yesterday.

Yup, i couldn't resist. Although i have to admit the cover design is a bit... off.

Anyway, this is her introductory paragraph to her book...


Hmmm.

For those of you who haven't completely lost interest and have decided not to remove me from your blogroll, here's a review i just found of her book. If you scroll down, you can read some of the comments written and have to say, some of them are pretty harsh.

All i can say to them is, chill the fuck out.

I know everybody has their two cents worth of opinions but some of them are just hurtful.

If you don't like it, move on!
