As I sit here, feeling used, tired, and near death (I hate paperwork BTW) I realize the thing I'm most upset about was that I missed blogging on the couch potato report, which, apparently, I was really looking forward to. So, at the risk of listing and praising in unsupported monosyllabic stereotypical slang (i.e. "freak-ing awe-some"), I've been watching the following-
Heroes- I like "Heroes" a lot, being a comic guy, that's probably a given. I really enjoy how the story evolves and intertwines at the same time. I also get a huge kick out of reinterpretations of classic comics gimmicks, like the crossover, or the peak into the future. We recently watched the second season, then caught the premiere, and I've got to say, it's gonna be a great season. If you haven't watched heroes, give it a try. it gives you answers a more often than "lost" and it's a great epic story of the coming of an age of heroes.
"I'm a PC"- a while back I commented on hoe much I dislike smear campaigns, and use the "I'm a mac, I'm a PC" commercials as an example. I always wondered what Microsoft would do to strike back, and they've finally done it, but in a way that makes me proud to own a PC. Instead of slamming Mac's, they disprove their advertising by showing the diversity of PC owners. While I do HATE windows vista, well done Microsoft.
"Chuck"- just finished the first season, and wow! Even though the concept is a twist on a fairly stereotypical spy show, I love the actors (Adam Baldwin even manages to slip in some firefly references, which warms my heart), and the show manages to stay fresh instead of doing a variation on the same script every episode. With some fun pop culture references, dang funny jokes and decent action, chuck is a geek friendly dramody that is really fun to watch.
We've watched a lot of great stuff lately, but I do have to run, it's late, and I've got to work early.
Next time!
