Dan pointed me towards some blogging options on delicious, so I tossed a script in the side bar there to the left. It will show the 5 most recent things I bookmarked.
Lost – Season 5, Episode 10
So, this one is called "He's Our You". I hear it's a Sayid-centric episode. I believe that Sayid will be their Ben, since he's been kidnapped as a hostile and jailed and what not. Or, Kid Ben will be their version of Ben? It really could be anything.
here be spoilers
– This "Previously on" really makes me want to watch this show. More than I already do. Best show on TV.
– The oldest Sayid flashback we've seen was the military stuff, right?
– Sayid is the younger, ruthless killer right? Or the one that doesn't want to kill...
– Ah, the ruthless. Obviously that makes sense. I thought they were trying to say "he doesn't like killing, but he killed for ben because he HAD to"
– A Separate Reality was the book. That's funny, as always.
– Oh awesome! Sayid, just wait around a little bit. Be patient. I can get you out of here, because I am going to kill every single person in this commune with some gas. It's gonna be great, just hang on.
– Meatloaf? Aw...not meat. I think I'll find that Meatloaf album I used to own as a download.
– I hope we learn who these targets are...why do they need to die? How do they pose a threat, if they actually do.
– Why not go after Whidmore himself?
– I've got absolute chills just thinking about his fingers getting cut off. I know its the bracelets but still.
– Spy, like Ben. Sayid's their Ben.
– The level where I tell you some difficult math problems and they make your head hurt!
– Who can forget about bacon? Its stink fills the house.
– How can they not trust Sawyer, King of Conmen? I can understand not trusting Jack and Kate since they suck at lying...but Sawyer. C'mon.
– SUSPENSEFUL VIOLIN
– Hahahaha, they really bring out the ham. Hurley is the best part of this show.
– That Dharma chef logo is amazing. Chef hat and crossed utensils. I'd want that on a shirt.
– I can kick a football over those mountains, hahahaha. Uncle Rico.
– I think the Dharma trays have clipped edges like BSG paper...Battlestar's new earth becomes this Lost world? They bury a raptor or two under an island and all those FTL drives act as an energy source for time traveling islands.
– Wow...that death of Locke was really well played as a revenge plot. Bravo, Ben, you bastard.
– I hope they show some of the 2008 island in this episode. Or again really soon.
– Oh. He's our you. I get it. Awesome. This torture is going to be nuts...I feel like it'll be pretty fantastical.
– LSD or something? Or something more Dharma crazy? Liquid smoke monster?
– Sayid looks like he is sweating Gatorade.
– Smooth, Sayid. Call her a prostitute.
– Such an enigma...
– When you are that good at something, there are always people that will tempt you to stay the same. Pretty good line.
– Hahahahahah, the torturer dude's voice is amazing. I want to hear him talk about every and any thing.
– Awesome man. They are going to think Sayid is nuts. I'm from the future, man.
– Will be interesting to see how they go from making out to being arrested on the plane. I feel like she was just playing along with Sayid's handcuffed...oh damn.
– Hmmm.
– I feel like the other Dharma folks would be weirded out by Sawyer and Kate/Jack's fast friendship. What does the head of security need with these workmen?
– Were burning buses a big thing 3 years before they got here? "3 years no burning buses" seems like a bizarre stat otherwise.
– Young Ben...
– Have I mentioned yet how much I love this show? Cause it's amazing.
– So, Sayid being taken to Guam on this particular flight was all just a coincidence? Or did Ben set up this capture?
– So..is Sayid going to go ahead and kill Kid Ben? I know he shouldn't be able to...that would ruin this show. But..
– 2 minutes left. Dan told me this ending is mind shattering...
– He has a gun now. Oh man...
– Nononononono. Wait.
– He..how can he have done that? NO DON'T END THERE!!!
– 7 more days. FINE.

bsg – season 4, episode 22
this is it. the end of battlestar. let's see how it all goes down. i've never really watched a show like this that has ended on its own terms...
obviously spoilers. this is the end of a show.
– Is that Caprica city? Looks pretty cool and bright.
– I feel like they are overacting being drunk.
– Again and again with this Caprica flash back stuff. Just tell me why Starbuck is a ghost/angel/something and show this final-final cylon war.
– Worst of all might be Roslin's flashbacks. I don't really care. She had some visions and then she didn't seem to really be important again. Now she's trying to date a student. Ughhhhh. This is going to be half the episode, isn't it?
– I know starbuck likes to drink, but thats a ton of shotglasses to have.
– Grossssss vomit. So, Adama got trashed and that's how he decided to be on Galactica?
– Colonial 1 can fit in the docking bay? That's nuts.
– I'm so bored with Roslin. She never does anything worth anything.
– Glad they are making Raptor pilots seem tough and awesome finally. Or at least, explaining that they are and showing why.
– Adama turned over control of the fleet to Hoshi? He's the boyfriend of Gaeta...the guy that recently tried to kill Adama. I know Hoshi himself hasn't done anything wrong, but that's guilt by association.
– Thank the gods that they didn't waste more than 5 seconds showing Anders getting moved to CIC. In a normal episode, that would have taken the entire hour.
– But at the same point...how did they just move that hybrid tank? All that fluid? That huge structure?
– I would complain and ask where all those centurions came from, but I don't care. They are getting me amped for this upcoming firefight.
– uh...what? Assault 2 is suting up and hanging out in the museum wing? hahah..
– 30 minutes to get to the actual jump? Not bad. That's an hour to fight and resolve ~100 hours worth of questions.
– The CGI in this episode is pretty...obvious? I dunno. It's a little strange looking.
– Those raptors just jumped from INSIDE the galactica. 3 episodes ago, one jumping NEAR the ship ruined everything. Now 8 can jump from inside?
– Battering Ram Galactica. BRG.
– Does they Colony have resurrection technology?
– Lee or Bill or someone important had better die in this fight.
– never reminisce in an asteroid field or anywhere near a black hole. Duh.
– Hahahaha...the centurions in a punching match with those...uh...classic model cylons? one got kneed in the crotch. Good tactic even for robots.
– "The Colonial Forces aboard the Colony" isn't confusing at all...
– Almost some information about the virtual baltar and caprica. damn.
– "There's a lot of ghosts running around here."
– Those old cylons look so bad.
– When they were first gearing up, their Centurions had red stripes on them. When they were raiding the Colony, they were leading around non-red-striped Cents. How do they now know they aren't shooting their own toasters?
– Oh no. When I wanted someone to die, it wasn't Helo!
– They are so wishy washy on what the focus/importance of this show is...It was finding earth, then it was finding out the final 5, then it was seemingly Starbuck, now its Hera. I bet they can change it again in the next 50 minutes.
– Oh, cool. The opera house is finally becoming a thing in reality.
– The final 5 standing up there in CIC is kind of nice.
– They just patched the Galactica's CIC through to the Cylon colony? Since when can they do that? Since Anders was hooked up in there? I don't get it.
– What about that black hole they are right next to?
– Resurrection technology is a torrent file, and the final 5 are seeders.
– Ahhhhhhhh man! Tyrol!
– hahahahahh, the undead nuke fire. That's hilarious. In a corny way.
– This jump should destroy the Galactica, right? Her bones are rotten.
– Oh there she goes..
– If Starbuck jumped them to the earth area where she exploded, died and was reborn, would they be ok?
– Earth again? I'd like the see the crippled Galactica get through our atmosphere.
– Dinosaurs, right?
– Haha. Even better.
– 5 white dudes, finding earth and starting all life.
– What was that not-earth they found previously? The earth of legend, but they will call this place Earth in remembrance of that wasteland?
– So, this place has a moon. Looks like our current earth, but is populated with cavemen. But the continents are separated and not pangea-esque. Wasn't it Pangea during caveman time?
– I also find it hard to believe that these spacemen would breed with cavemen, and still go through the industrial revolution, the 1980's, our history, etc. They already know about space travel and robots and things, why would they create log huts and tape decks?
– It takes our sun and a couple FTL jumps to finally destroy the BSG.
– This is it, isn't it? They explain Kara Thrace the same way they explain virtual Baltar and Virtual Caprica – As angels, because God or something similar is real? Sigh.
– Awesome Cylon lie detector guy.
– All the Adama men have now kissed Kara on the mouth.
– Cavemen experiencing space ships doesn't even make sense. Their brains would be ruined by that, I'd think... Or, I guess they'd think it was some sort of magical god dinosaur.
– Awesome! Starbuck vanishing. Was she a vision all along? A vision to everyone?
– Ah, Helo lived. Adorable.
– Happy endings for all the toaster frakkers. If you help destroy an entire planet, you will get a brand new one to start over new and be happy and be loved. If you are given the option, wipe out humanity. It'll come back 100 fold.
– 4 Seasons of war and death and exhaustion and everything. In the end, everyone goes back to doing what they were doing before it all even started. Farming. Hunting. Being normal.
– Hahah, a robot montage? Hahaha.
– NYC. New York of Cylons.
– Well...that was that. Is this what it's going to be like next year when Lost ends? A big ol' happily ever after for a bunch of human murderers and their lovers?
– It's over. Grab your gun and bring in the cat.
obviously spoilers. this is the end of a show.
– Is that Caprica city? Looks pretty cool and bright.
– I feel like they are overacting being drunk.
– Again and again with this Caprica flash back stuff. Just tell me why Starbuck is a ghost/angel/something and show this final-final cylon war.

Lost – Season 5, Episode 9
Lost took a week off, so this better be a good come back. If possible, I would tag all these in a delicious style with a for:danmcrae tag, because I can't imagine anyone but him reading them. I guess after this, all that's left is...Dollhouse. Shudder.
spoilers, lost style
– With a title like Namaste, I expect good things from this episode.
– Flying through this "window" or "door" or whatever should be pretty interesting. I hope its more than just a flash again...
– Is that a runway? What kind of question is that? A professional pilot would know that this is just a curiously long, runway like, patch of sand right?
– The island, during that crash, seemed very overgrown and not lost-island-like. I wonder if they are at a time pre-anything.
– Strange that some of the people flashed somewhere else, yet Sun didn't.
– Uhhh, or Ben. I hate hearing Ben talk.
– Oh...so...Hurley/Jack/Kate flashed 30 years in the past while the rest of the plane & people crashed in 2008? Hm.
– Hahah, Hurley. It seems like Sawyer is the new Locke-type character for Jack to get mad at and not believe and so on. He'll never learn that he isn't right about anything.
– Hurley rules on the island. Off island he's sort of a scared crazy baby. But he's funny and cool on island.
– This will be the sub with Ben as a child, right?
– Hahah, Jin speaking english is so funny to me.
– If the plane landed in 2008, then explaining how they will all meet up will be either mind ending, or just explained with one big flash where now all the 70's lost people are in '08 and everyone's happy and that's all.
– Ohhh, right. They are on the other "alcatraz" island.
– "back to our island, wanna come" is more like the end of episode cliffhanger...not a commercial break one!
– Ethan. That's not as cool of a reveal as I had hoped. That baby could have been ANYONE, and he's freaking Ethan Rom, the guy that isn't really interesting...yet?
– How'd Sayid get through the perimeter?
– Hahahaha, Jack looks hilarious in the 70's.
– Whattttt. Where's Faraday? Awesome!
– Everything about this show is so cool and awesome and great. This is better than the Wire to me.
– Isn't Sun supposed to be trying to kill Ben? Didn't that happen in a past episode?
– Kind of interesting that these Outrigger boats were still hidden in the same spot in the 70's as they were in the future. Wait, how can this be the 70's? They were near the polar bar cages and stuff...is that already defunct or are there bears there now? Was this one of the earliest stations built, since they seem to be building others (i assume that was why Radinsky was working on that geodesic dome model)?
– There's no way they aren't gonna screw up these lies and stuff. Jack especially. He's going to blow it.
– Sayid being locked up like this is just like when Ben was caught. Sayid is the new Ben. What will Ben be? The new...uh...I just got side tracked thinking about this time travel...shits nuts.
– There's no way that Ben/Sun/Frank are in the 70s...
– Cliffhanger about who's in the house. It's...oh. Christian.
– Uhhhhhhh. I'm glad the commercials online are only 30 seconds. Because I hate them!
– So, when are they? This has gotta be the 08 Island, right?
– Hah, a bit of a journey. That's subtle.
– As awesome as this is, I'd like to see whats going on with John and the other Plane crash/landing survivors.
– Get over this epic music thing. Not everything is epic. Sometimes it's just Sayid in a jail cell.
– Oh snap, Juliettes gonna answer..
– This future/past Sawyer is so much better than he's ever been. Finally getting his chance to shine.
– How long til we learn what Sawyer whispered to Kate?
– Kid Ben?
– Hmmm. I don't understand where they are going to end up in this season, or what's going to happen next year. I guess I like that...but at the same time, I really want to know.

bsg – season 4, episode 21
seems i was wrong. NEXT week is the 2 hour finale. rollercoasters.
you are now entering spoiler city.
– different intro.. they didn't show you what is about to happen, i like that. miss the "HUH!" tho..
– earth? an earth episode? oh check out caprica. awesome.
– is this a prequel to the caprica movie? a sequel?
– dark hair, white shirt with black buttons / light hair, black shirt with white buttons. subtle.
– Is this a real 6 or a projected one?
– Strange that in order to finish a show where we have all these questions, they choose to show us back story. We either should have known this, or they are playing with our emotions so we will feel really bad when they all die... Kinda sad that they are gonna all be dead.
– whoa, wait. lee! get it, boy.
– oh, duh. Forgot about Zach Adama.
– Farmboy, Scientist, Cylon Detector, President, Messiah, Acting like a dick. Cool Gaius.
– I want to see some Saul Tigh Caprican life.
– I know I should be emotional during this scene with the cops/roslin, but...those cops had Predator styled bracer things on. I wonder if they can self destruct, or if they keep their play book in there.
– back to outerspace. this is what i'm talking about.
– The death of Galactica sucks way worse that the death of Roslin's family. We didn't even know them. We knew this ship.
– Still don't really understand when in the future they decide that all paper should have 8 sides/clipped corners instead of the current 4. Hope we see that back story someday. After the Caprica movie they make one in a paper plant on Geminon or something. "Sir, what about octagon paper?" "McKenzie! You're a genius!"
– Little did Gaius know, she was using him so that she could kill his entire planet and almost everyone on it.
– The Cylon colony thing looks like a nasty macro photo of a spider. Kind of cool.
– Space babies grow up so fast.
– I really thought Adama was going to rip the photo of Boomer/Hera in half and then ripping the corners off a little in order to still make it 8-sided.
– I hate how Gaius says "Car-Ah" when I thought everyone else says "Care-Ah"
– Numbers being assigned to the music. This is like the numbers being assigned to Hebrew in Pi. Focus on this more than Gaius' past with 6.
– Maybe some matches of this sport...uh...I can't remember the name, would be neat to see. Pyramid Ball.
– The parallel there between Anders as a hybrid and Anders in a bathtub in the locker room is kind of clever.
– Sorta looks like Christian Bale when he's a hybrid.
– Why do they even trust Gaius any more? Same with Zareck (Zarack?).
– Oh okay. Good going Lee.
– Stupid Frakin' Bird. Now...maybe a Viper scene?
– Hell yeah! One last grasp, rescue mission! Unpack all that ammo and all that fuel and all those birds. Time to wreck those lousy Cylons that are stuck in their old ways.
– They should have welcome to the jungle ready in the editing room to play when the Vipers start to attack.
– That line should be not down the center, right? Then more people could volunteer.
– Hang on a sec, this black hole thing is pretty awesome. I wanna watch.
– What will this even look like? Black Holes and such...
– GAH! That's the cliffhanger? noooooooooo.
– This show rules.
you are now entering spoiler city.
– different intro.. they didn't show you what is about to happen, i like that. miss the "HUH!" tho..
– earth? an earth episode? oh check out caprica. awesome.
– is this a prequel to the caprica movie? a sequel?
– dark hair, white shirt with black buttons / light hair, black shirt with white buttons. subtle.
– Is this a real 6 or a projected one?
– Strange that in order to finish a show where we have all these questions, they choose to show us back story. We either should have known this, or they are playing with our emotions so we will feel really bad when they all die... Kinda sad that they are gonna all be dead.
– whoa, wait. lee! get it, boy.
– oh, duh. Forgot about Zach Adama.
– Farmboy, Scientist, Cylon Detector, President, Messiah, Acting like a dick. Cool Gaius.
– I want to see some Saul Tigh Caprican life.
– I know I should be emotional during this scene with the cops/roslin, but...those cops had Predator styled bracer things on. I wonder if they can self destruct, or if they keep their play book in there.
– back to outerspace. this is what i'm talking about.
– The death of Galactica sucks way worse that the death of Roslin's family. We didn't even know them. We knew this ship.
– Still don't really understand when in the future they decide that all paper should have 8 sides/clipped corners instead of the current 4. Hope we see that back story someday. After the Caprica movie they make one in a paper plant on Geminon or something. "Sir, what about octagon paper?" "McKenzie! You're a genius!"
– Little did Gaius know, she was using him so that she could kill his entire planet and almost everyone on it.
– The Cylon colony thing looks like a nasty macro photo of a spider. Kind of cool.
– Space babies grow up so fast.
– I really thought Adama was going to rip the photo of Boomer/Hera in half and then ripping the corners off a little in order to still make it 8-sided.
– I hate how Gaius says "Car-Ah" when I thought everyone else says "Care-Ah"
– Numbers being assigned to the music. This is like the numbers being assigned to Hebrew in Pi. Focus on this more than Gaius' past with 6.
– Maybe some matches of this sport...uh...I can't remember the name, would be neat to see. Pyramid Ball.
– The parallel there between Anders as a hybrid and Anders in a bathtub in the locker room is kind of clever.
– Sorta looks like Christian Bale when he's a hybrid.
– Why do they even trust Gaius any more? Same with Zareck (Zarack?).
– Oh okay. Good going Lee.
– Stupid Frakin' Bird. Now...maybe a Viper scene?
– Hell yeah! One last grasp, rescue mission! Unpack all that ammo and all that fuel and all those birds. Time to wreck those lousy Cylons that are stuck in their old ways.
– They should have welcome to the jungle ready in the editing room to play when the Vipers start to attack.
– That line should be not down the center, right? Then more people could volunteer.
– Hang on a sec, this black hole thing is pretty awesome. I wanna watch.
– What will this even look like? Black Holes and such...
– GAH! That's the cliffhanger? noooooooooo.
– This show rules.

This is awesome.
A. The best sandwich advancement in the past 5 years, for a fact.
B. Thinking of signing up to the local Y some time soon and was going to buy a shuffle. Glad I didn't just yet.
C. This is just awesome.
There were more on swiss-miss that i wanted to take, but i figured you could just read that blog instead.

Tuesday
Tonight, while waiting for the uptown F train, I saw a guy reading a Promethea trade, horizontally. I decided to keep track of this via Daytum. Previously, I wanted to see how many people I would spot reading Watchmen leading up to the movie, but it only hit 3 before I stopped riding the train very often. I was glad they were reading it, but I felt like they should have read it without having to be persuaded by the film.
Also, one time when visiting, I saw a person reading Persepolis, clearly preparing for the movie. This Promethea guy is the first one I've seen to be reading a comic that isn't about to be released as a movie.
Unless there is a Promethea movie I don't know about?
Now that I think of it, maybe he loved Watchmen in theaters, so he googled Alan Moore and then decided to read some of his other work. Forget that guy then. I have yet to just see someone reading a comic for general comic interest yet. Hrm.

Grimaldi's sounds like a pizza place in Harry Potter
I finally did it. Had the best pizza so far in NYC. That isn't a huge deal, since I've only really gone to Sam's down the street from me, but still. Grimaldi's. I had heard big things about it, so finally went. Got there at 5PM and got in the line (~30 people) and waited for a friend to join me. This is supposedly one of the very few places around that is still allowed to burn coal, and between the hours of 4 and 6, they take 30 minutes to refresh the oven. We got caught in that window. So, food came out at like 6:50 or so. That's ok. I ate 5/8ths of a Pepperoni/Mushroom pizza that was so delicious.
The seating arrangement in this place is as tight as possible. There were 2 ladies sitting next to us that did not speak a word the entire time they were there. And it looked like they had just met. Just silence and awkward looking around. When my friend got up to use the bathroom, they finally started chatting with each other. "So, do you have any siblings? Where do you work?" I couldn't figure them out at all.
Afterwards, we walked a block down the street to the Brooklyn Ice Cream factory. Ate a cone of Vanilla / Choc. Chunk while looking out over the water. Lots of people with cameras there. Also, the WATCHTOWER, which I guess is the Jehovah Witness HQ.
Lastly a can of Boddington's Pub Ale at a place called Superfine. They were having a hoe-down, but the band was all squished on this tiny stage, so they looked like the band from Chuck-E-Cheese.
One of these three things that I consumed has made me not hungry for the almost 24 hours since I ate them. Hm.
Also, while at the "local" target the other day, which is in some sort of bizarre brooklyn mall, I noticed that they had a Chuck-E-Cheese on the 3rd floor. I wonder if they'd let me have my birfday party there.
bsg – season 4, episode 20
well, here goes. the next one is the 2 hour finale. i'm not sure if they are breaking it up over 2 weeks, but still. this is almost the end of battlestar. hour 20 of 22... anything could happen, and probably will.
most likely major spoilers. this is the end of the show, after all.
– i love the idea that cylons have this connection with music. music as magic/technology is a pretty good plot thread.
– jumping to ftl next to bsg was awesome. now the show starts.
– i want a model of a basestar for my desk top.
– cylons and humans fighting each other in the maintenance crew. all humans do is fight cylons. just tell us that they are all cylons already.
– it's interesting that Lost is all about Destiny being right and right now BSG is all about destiny being wrong.
– tonight, on battlestar, the galactica dies. the president dies. caprica six dies. all the crew working on repairing the ship die. anders probably dies. this is grim. they haven't even begun to hint at lee or bill adama dying. when's that big cliff hanger happen?
– uh, that girl was outside of an airlock and still breathing and screaming? shouldn't they have all died the minute the hull breached? this isn't an airplane, where they are surrounded by O2. This is space...
– who's this new not-tyrol?
– why do they even care about defense any more? when was the last time that the galactica had to send out any vipers for defense? are we expected to believe that the rebel cylons will attack and start another war/battle within the next 180 minutes? I guess no one in the fleet knows that the show is ending...poor folk.
– i don't remember baltar getting a haircut?
– tigh can't say "most of my life trying to kill your kind" now that his is like...3,000? years old, and has only spent like 50 trying to kill the cylons.
– boomer is the worst parent ever.
– some episodes, tigh is so proud to be "human" and in others he just puts up with being a cylon. guy can't make up his mind. he should poison ellen again...
– ew, is that the sound of starbuck peeing?
– starbuck is an angel ghost zombie cylon.
– busting out that season 1 baltar the scientist reference. nice. i guess its strange that he went from science to faith so completely...
– hybrid anders could be awesomely insightful. unless he babbles like a hybrid more than an anders..
– damn, that blinking being in sync with the lights flickering was really neat.
– ...pot? what the hell show is this? battlestar lebowski?
– it took her her entire life to think about the meaning of "home". she had it good.
– "hm! this dust i scratched off of dead starbuck's dog tag proves it: she was in a crash and she came across her own dead body on earth 5 episodes ago!"
– dear liza, dear liza, there's a whole in the bucket. i used to love that spearhead song...why is anders repeating it? why does earth look like the remnants of our earth, yet was destroyed 2,000 years ago, and they are still quoting songs from the 1970s and 90s? There were no new songs since then?
– adama always condones suicide missions. why change now?
– lee gonna kill gaius.
– what is this thing? the cylon planetship?
– if you had a dime for every time that bill adama took of his rank-pins, you'd have like $50 or so.
– bill adama, the post modern painter.
– maybe this isn't the end of the show. if they abandon the galactica by seasons end, then they have to change the name of the show. so, there could be a season 5, it'd just be called "Basestar with humans and cylon living together on it and also starbuck the angel". Or, the acronym version: BHCLTASTA!
– I'm not ready for this final episode...

dollhouse – season 1, episode 4
dollhouse live blogging of last week's episode. I can't really get in to this show, but supposedly everything after episode 6 is going to be insane/amazing, so I can be patient...
spoilers, if you haven't been watching, i'm sure.
– There's something about the way that the main dollhouse lady says "tabula rasa" that I hate. it grosses me out when she says it. and they show it in like every "previously on" thing.
– so, the dollhouse set up Helo by sending him into that basement to be shot/killed? strange.
– paying the millions it must cost for a doll seems like wayyyy too much for a midwife doll. unless your baby is gonna come out strange and try to kill you.
– If they show this "did I fall asleep" scene in every episode, I'm going to get even more tired of it.
– is this going to be like battlestar and it's a big mystery about who's a doll and who isn't?
– why does he keep calling him "man friend"? quit that.
– hmm. interesting reason to spend a ton of money on a doll. i wonder if every one of these will be "badass fighter chick that is also going to show a lot of skin and be a lover for one of the characters"
– maybe the episodes after number 6 will be ones where she is less of a "tough girl" character. cause its pretty annoying.
– Gray Hour, more like gray zone. These dollhouse people will kill steal etc just for the ?...millions?... someone will pay them? They'll even shoot a cop. But they present this like Echo is a good guy.
– it's like twisting my own arm to find anything to even talk about during this show. it's just like...some stuff happening that i don't care about.
– art mysteries. never enough of those.
– they just blared some high frequency noise in Echo's phone and at the exact same time, Hulu stopped streaming for me. It broke her phone & my internet. Hulu has been doing this a lot recently, and I can't tell if it is their fault, or the fact that my laptop gets super hot when in my lap now...
– oh, that's cool...a phone noise that will erase her personality. how did that get on her phone?
– topher sucks.
– the art thief looks like andy dick with a bald head.
– they should just leave this asian girl ALWAYS as the awesome tough killer. She's like...never anything other than that. Just leave her programmed and keep a leash on her.
– forget Echo. Make this other one the main girl. I can stand hearing her talk. Echo is like nails on a chalkboard, with over acting on top.
– If they can make any personality at all, why make one where "Taffe?" requires a briefcase full of money in order to want to do her job? Just leave that part out.
– what a strange show. they just do whatever they want. maybe i should just skip it for 2 weeks and then start watching again once it's supposed to be good.
– if dollhouse wants Helo dead, they should just...kill him. They have this doll in his damn house.
– alpha is alive, a brutal ninja killer, as smart as topher when it comes to neuro-tech, and probably even more (next week)...way to make the ultimate bad guy, joss. "well...he can do everything, mental and physical." i hope he has some interesting character flaws, else he'll be the most boring character ever.
meh. time to watch BSG and forget about this show.

Daytum
I tried out twitter. I couldn't get in to the idea of logging what I was doing at any random time. Keeping track of lists of things I'm encountering/consuming tho, I like that. So, I signed up for a Daytum beta account. It's pretty nice looking. Here's a screen capture of the first entries which encompass drinks last night and this morning as well as comic books read starting this morning.
Life on Mars - Season 1, Episode 1
This is an experiment. We'll see how much I like it. While work has been slow, on Thursday mornings I'll watch Lost on ABC.com and I'll chat with Dan about it while I watch. I like doing that, because I like to watch things but also to talk through them. So, I thought I'd try this here.
Life on Mars plays after Lost on ABC, and it is constantly covered on various comic/etc blogs/sites that I read so I thought I'd check it out. I don't want to try the BBC version first though – I recently attempted to watch Dr. Who and couldn't make it past the second episode. Not even 10 minutes of that episode. The BBC production values are so low that on this kind of show it is really obvious.
Anyways.
Life on Mars. All I know about this is that a guy gets in a wreck and is teleported into the past and then there's a mini robot helicopter bug that flys out of a guys wound sometime. Brantley saw that last part on TV and told me about it. OK. Season 1, Episode 1.
– If this is the theme song, this is the best theme song on TV.
– A cosby kid! That's awesome.
– This dude is racing somewhere with like 5 other cop cars and they are talking abou...oh shit! Lester Freeman! I love seeing Wire folk on other shows.
– Wait, one of these cops is that awful newspaper guy from Wire season 5 I think. Maybe that wasn't his face I just saw. I hope not, I hate that guy.
– Whoa, awesome kick in the face from the guy they are chasing.
– Guy they are chasing looks like David Caruso if his face melted.
– The ol' "that's my twin brother gambling and not me" trick, eh?
– They are trying to make it look like this cosby girl died. There's no way they'd kill her off after only 5 minutes, right? She's not a throwaway actress.
– Slow zoom in on his iPod video, showing you the cover of the David Bowie CD that he's listening to? That's realllllly smooth product placement. They just did it twice. Sure the song is Life on Mars but whatever.
– Had to pause. He just got WRECKED by a car and I gotta see that again.
– GOD! That wreck looks brutal.
– This guy looks like Jude Law with a few more pounds in his face, sorta.
– OK. He just time traveled. 1973 now. Sure. Life on Mars is now an 8-Track in his...I dunno what kind of car this is. It's orange.
– Uh oh! This 1973 cop has never heard of a cell phone. Oh, and there are still twin towers.
– Maybe that wasn't the theme song after all. Just a cool song.
– NYC in the 70s. Neat. People ate pizza out of the box while leaning on their perfectly clean cars. Everything is so shiny.
– Hahaha, Christopher from Sopranos with an amazing haircut and mustache.
– Whoa. Harvey Keitel? That's star power.
– No computers would suck soooo hard. Can you imagine that? Ugh.
– Some kind of light and the sounds of him dying in the future hospital. Well that's interesting.
– No one EVER believes time travelers. They'll have the last laugh. And also the first laugh, if they play their time-traveling-cards right.
– Oh this is kind of neat. This 1973 murder mirrors the 2008 one. I could get behind this show so far.
– cool.
– God, they are trying to make this girl cop a love interest already!? Gross.
– He's in a coma, but he talks a bit, and the TV triangle mathematician says "obviously he's in an alternate reality." They are just spelling it out for the average American, right?
– This dude is going to bring 2008 police practices into 1973 and ruin the timestream.
– I hate all of this crap like, "I'll have a diet coke", "OH HO HO? WHAT IS DIET COKE THAT WOULD BE A FUNNY THING!" Stop it already.
– Harvey Keitel wants his epitaph to be "He has been here". That's not a bad one. Maybe "He is standing right behind you" would really catch people off guard.
– Were policewomen really treated like this? Gross.
– This is making me want a pastry. I wish there was a bakery right around here.
– They are going to solve this in one episode, aren't they?
– So this chase is like identical to the one from the future. What if he gets hit by a car again? Does he go even further back? 1940s police department? 1910? Caveman cops?
– Awesome psychological warfare on this guy.
– God, the 70s had some awful expressions.
– Creepy kids..
– I just spaced out. I want to mess with the CSS for this blog.
– Um...they can't kill children on TV, right?
– Twin Towers at night. End.
Ok, I could watch a couple more of those. Seemed like there could be something there to hold my interest. Time travel, after all.

How are fires still a mystery?
Bret Conrad Atkins' house burned down.
The message that woke me up this morning was along the lines of "Billy, what's red and orange, and eats everything you own? A fire. My house burned to the ground. Check out WRAL Local News online. Later."
When I talked to him tonight he sounded OK with it all. Their dog got wedged under a table and stayed in the house during the entire fire, but came out 100% unharmed. His wife's jewelry box was in perfect condition. His brother was in town, so his X-Box was over at his parent's house.
He was joking about it. "Jayme and I will be back to poor in no time." I guess you've gotta joke about it...
The message that woke me up this morning was along the lines of "Billy, what's red and orange, and eats everything you own? A fire. My house burned to the ground. Check out WRAL Local News online. Later."

Real D!
roamed the city with a visiting friend yesterday. had 3 hours to kill before we were actually supposed to be somewhere and our legs were dead from walking. so we popped in to see Coraline 3D. When I say 3D, I don't mean red/blue. I mean REAL D!:
the side of those glasses claims they are "real D". I was just glad that they fit so nicely over my own 3-D glasses.
Also, this movie was pretty awesome. I love that Neil Gaiman is getting his work out there (stardust, coraline) and that it is successful. Each film sneaks in a bit of magic/fantasy just because, and I hope that he keeps at it. Eventually we'll all be so accepting of magic/fantasy in the real world, or just because, that they'll do a 10-movie Sandman series. Then we can all stop watching movies after that. It will end cinema.
