Just a quick update since it's ben a long time (again). I've been watching a few shows even though I've been really busy with school and such. Right now I'm rewatching Dexter season one just for fun and I started a good show, Mad Men, based on suggestions from a bunch of friends; I'm about half way through season one of that. Tomorrow is the first of the last 10 BSG episodes, so I can't wait for that =S, and then of course next week is the night episode premiere of Lost so hopefully I'll be back to talk about my thoughts on everything that happens soon.

Peace, atv

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.


I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think i prefer to stay inside.
maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.
maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking when theres science to do
when i look out there
it makes me glad I'm not you
i've experiments to run
there is research to be done
on the people who are
still alive.


and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
i feel fantastic and I'm still alive
while your dying ill be still alive
and when your dead i will be still alive
still alive

Just a short blog with my favorite Christmas song.

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

Editor for a Show - Tin Man

After a ton of hardwork and determaination (and almost getting a tos for submiting too much at one time) I became editor for Tin Man this week. I really loved this miniseries and I hope that Sc-Fi channel continues the story someway. Right now I'm getting a good amount of people submitting information to it (more than I've ever gotten with my people) but I think that I pretty much covered all the good quotes in my sweep through. That doesn't mean I wont take a look at any quotes you submit I'm open to anytyhing that comes my way. If you haven't seen Tin Man yet it's going to be on again tonight at 5:00 PM. You might aswell set you DVRs.

Lets Just Say You Love Puppet

Maybe it's the sweet little smile and the cute eyes, or maybe it's the slow movement of his head back and forth that, or maybe even that awesome birthmark on his chest, I don't know what makes my avatar so awesome, but I know that it's gonna stay. Practically everyone voted for me to keep my avatar in the last blog. What can I say he's irresistible.

__________________________________________

Have a good week :)

The battle for which avatar I will use begins and you decide.

__________________________________________

Currently Watching - Pushing Daisies. I've been catching up with the episodes online.
__________________________________________

Pick My Avatar!

Here are the choices. Comment in the blog the letter of which avatar you think I should use. In the end, I will use the one with the most votes.

A.

Well since I told you I'm watching Pushing Daisies I guess I should put an avatar of the show in the vote. This is also the avatar I currently have a JD's (Sleeptight's) site, City of Angels.

B.

I always like Xander in Buffy, and when I got the comic book I loved how he was sporting still sporting awesome eye-patch. This avatar could match my Xander sig too.

C.

And then there's kitty Hiro. The cute version of the Heroes character, Hiro, from the online graphic novel. I couldn't resist cropping a picture from the comic into an avatar. Can you resist him?

D.

If you are smacking your head against the keyboard with the thought of me getting rid of my puppet avatar trademark, so here is this choice, and that is to keep the avatar I have now.

__________________________________________

So here are your options

A. Ned and Chuck - Pushing Daisies
B. Eye-patch Xander - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
C. Kitty Hiro - Heroes
D. Keep the one you have

Last night the Sci-Fi channel mini-series Tin Man aired. It lived up to my expectations how about yours? We'll see what else airs from Tin Man this week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Also tonight is the fall finale of Heroes. Which two heroes will die? Will the ending be rewarding? Discuss! :)

Tin Man "Parts 1 - 3"Discussion

Last night I watch an hour and a half of the two hour episode (with limited commercials too) of Time Man; I would have kept on watching it if it wasn't for school the next morning. The show had a clever way of making each of the characters unique and different but still keeping them to the base of the original character in the L. Frank Baum novel. Glitch is a man that had his brain taken away by the government because he was a genuis, Wyatt "Tin Man" Cain the sort-of bodyguard of the group, a retired cop that joined the resistance and lost his family because of it, and Raw a viewer with telepathic and healing abilites. They resemble Oz's Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. No Toto though. I think the story is really great and even though we know the final resolution I am sure there will be twists along the way. And lastly DG the Dorothy Gale character, and lead. So what did you think of the first part? I still have to finish it tonight. I really enjoyed it since I am an Oz fan myself. I hope it keeps on getting better.

Heroes "Powerless" Discussion

I don't know everyone's opinionson the second season of Heroes, but I haven't been too happy with the way things have played out. They added seemingly pointless characters like Maya, and turned Sylar, Peter, and Hiro into a laughing stock (no powers, no memory... oh wait Hiro was already one). Nathan has had virtually no screen time and Niki developed another personallity (WHY WHY WHY). DL was never even mentioned until halfway through and Bob was just a pain in the butt. But this season hasn't been that bad. The past three weeks the show seems to be getting better, but this week will be the last one for a while (since Origins wont be on). First off, what have you though about the events that have happened this season? I know there are a lot of diehard fans that just love Heroes no matter what but, to me, you have to see a show's faults to be a real fan. I am going to watch it tonight and I wont stop watching it until it ends, I just think it could be better. Maybe this finale will help develope what may be a perfect third season.

Super Mario Galaxy Mini-update

So last week was the week. I collected all 120 as Mario and was happy for about four seconds. And then I found out I had to redo the whole game as Luigi >_>. I know some people said that it was really easy, but there were some galaxy that I had loads of trouble with. The most challenging part of the game is the comets that appear making galaxies harder or asking you do certain task. The Purple Comets were the worst. I'm afraid of going back to some of those stars. Currently I have about 65 stars with Luigi so thats a good halfway through. More updates when I get farther and a rewview after this whole mess is finished.

Jericho Season Dos

If you don't hate tv (if you do what are you doing on tv.com), live under a rock, or can't be you know whated to read the news then you probably know that the writer strike has been effecting pretty much every show on American televsion (24 to start late, Heroes only 11 episodes, Lost who knows how many episodes). All but Jericho that is. The writers of Jericho apparently already finished their seven episode second season that was given to us after we sent nuts to CBS's doorstep. I'm not sure about the production of the season but since all the episodes have been written it seems that the writer's strike will only affect Jericho positivily. This is becasue most of the shows we watch will be on their haitus or already ended for the year meaning Jericho may be potentially one of the few shows airing new episodes. The fans hope that this will help the ratings increase (and the fact that this season is going to be darker helps) and hopefully allow a full third season to air next year. Go Jericho! :)

So how was your break?

Gobble gobble. All yourAmericans reading are probably still feeling the aftermath of this year Thanksgiving. I was just glad we got a break off of school before that oh so long four weeks before Christmas Break. This year seems to be going by so fast for me with marching band and starting high school. To be honest, I am pretty happy with how this year is turning out. Durring the break I was able to work some more on Super Mario Galaxy, but I'm still five stars away from unlocking Luigi. Even though Thanksgiving is great the highlight of my week was Black Friday by far. I forced my dad to take me into the chaos of the mall and Gamestop in order to get myself a Wii Zapper, a Jack Bauer action figure, a computer harddrive, oh and some presents for Christmas to the family. We honestly shopped more for ourselves on Black Friday than for others. Oh well I guess we just know how to find a good deal. How was everyone else's break? Good, bad, great? Spill!

PS I meant to make a Happy Thanksgiving blog on the actualy day but I was too busy playing Wii Sports with the family, and I think I've convinced my cousin to buy a Wii.

I got my Brain Age 2 gift

Almost a month ago, I was talking about how Nintendo gives away free gifts when you buy a game and do someting online and how they were sending away free Wii remote jackets to protect your precious tvs. Well I got all four of my jackets and my stylus box from Nintendo. Just today I got home and my mom yelled at me saying I bought something online without asking her. So I opened up the package I got and found a silver box with the Nintendo logo on the front. I open it up to find the stylus above. It was a cool experience since I gave up hope for my styli coming. Now I have to decide what color to use first. If you have Brain Age 2 make sure to order for them. :)

Super Mario Galaxy

The must own Wii game is here. For most of us it was the first thing we saw played on the Wii almost two years ago. When we first saw Mario exploring planet's and new galaxies it was only a dream that would one day become a reality. The first time you put Super Mario Galaxy into your Wii and hear Mario shout "Super Mario Galaxy" your spine should tingle. The new Mario is here, and it lives up to it's previous installments. I'l have a review for it coming up on Gamespot sometime. if you have played or own Mario Galaxy tell me what you think? Do you think it beats Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine in greatest or is the game too linear? PS - Lyn, you better start playing this soon.

Top 5 Most Anticipated Wii Games

Part two of last blog starts here. What games am I most looking forward to owning on the Nintendo Wii? This time they'll be in backwords order.

5. Okami Wii

The only time I've played Okami was at a grocery store demo PS2 but from the moment I saw it I knew it was my type of game. I could never be arsed to pick it up for my PS2, but with the annoucment of Okami for the Wii I wont have to. Even if it is a port I think it will be a great game for players like me that have never experienced the full Okami.

4. Wii Music

This may sound corny, but one of the first things I saw demonstrated on the Wii was the music game. This, of course, will be another addition to the Nintendo "Wii" series. Plus who doesn't want to wave their hands around as they conduct ****c Nintedo songs?

3. Mario Kart Wii

I grew up loving Mario Kart on the N64 version of the game. I would play my friends all the time, and luckily know I can still do that on the virtual console. When Mario Kart Wii comes out we will not only be able to play online with up to 8 other players, but we will also get a Nintedo Licsened Wii Wheel that will work with other racing games like Excite Truck.

2. Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Every weekday we are given more and more reasons why we should buy this game at the Dojo site. This Nintendo fighter makes it Wii debut in what will prove to be one of the Wii's greatest titles. We got Sonic in the game hopefully we can push in some other groundbreaking new characters.

1. Super Mario Galaxy

To be honest Super Mario Galaxy only made first place by a hair. The reason why it's on the top is because it's so close to release date. The new gameplay videos that are coming out are amazing. They leave me breathless. The graphics are the best for the Wii, and I know the new sense of gravity in the game will be a gem. Only 8 days until it comes out.
