Some Favorite Episodes Of Mine
Mood:
 happy
Now Playing: Must Watch Episodes
Topic: List-O-Mania
I was going to give a list of TV shows I love, but that will be sometime in the future. For the time being however, I am going to give a list of individual episodes that are favorites of mine. This is in no particular order. You may disagree and have your own list, no problem, we all have different tastes!
Chicago Hope- Quarantine: The formula is simple, a group of doctors are put into isolation because they may or may not have contracted a contagious disease from a patient. The group includes a married couple on the brink of divorce, the hospital lothario, a harried "temporary" Chief Of Staff and one doctor who some think is two steps shy of being committed. Its a wonderful episode, and sadly watching it reminds one of how bad the show gets in the later seasons (musical episode anyone?).
Buffy The Vampire Slayer- Hush: Some very creepy beings steal the voices of the populace, the "Scooby gang" try to get them back. The majority of this episode is silent, so the characters are forced to other ways to communicate. I wasn't a big Buffy fan, but when the show was good, as in this episode, it was excellent.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine- Trials and Tribble-ations: In this episode some of the Deep Space Nine crew are thrown back in time and end up in the timeline of the original Star Trek Crew - The episode "Trouble with Tribbles" to be exact. They interact with characters from an episode from thirty years ago without making it seem corny or stupid. A classic DS9 episode.
Angel - Hero: I love Angel, so there is a lot of episodes I love, including "You're Welcome", and "Smile Time" (aka the "Angel is turned into a puppet" episode). The best one is this early outing in the first season. Half-Demon, Half-Human Doyle makes the ultimate sacrifice to save his friends and his fellow demons. Sadly a few years later Glenn Quinn passed away, making this episode all the more poignant.
Friends - The One With The Prom Video: Rachel finds out via an old video that Ross has had feelings for her for a long time. And thus the "Ross and Rachel" roller coaster begins.
NCIS - Meat Puzzle: A gruesome episode where Dr Donald "Ducky" Mallard discovers that several bodies...actually several pieces of bodies, that were found are related to a court case he was part of years ago. Bad news? He may be next.
CSI - The Hunger Artist: Like with Angel, there are a lot of episodes of this show I like, including "Unfriendly Skies" and "Justice Is Served". This episode, along with another case, deals with a woman found dead in a shopping cart and a homeless woman who may be involved.
X-Files - Clyde Bruckmans Final Repose: Clyde Bruckman (guest star Peter Boyle) is a man the agents encounter who can predict how someone is going to die, but can't use this ability to really help find the murderer.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - I don't have any particular fave, cause it changes every day, but the last one I watched was "Pod People". Other favorites include: "Hercules Unchained" "The Creeping Terror" and the list goes on.
24- Season Three: Season three, or day three, was the "day" about the virus and the hotel and oh a lot of things.
Coming soon: The flip side - the bad episodes.

Two to go!
Mood:
 down
Now Playing: Song of the Day - "Another One Bites The Dust"
Topic: Reality Shows
Skating With Celebrities: Typical! The pair that I most wanted to win on the show (Bruce and Tai) are out because of low scores. Now I have to choose between Kristy Swanson and Jillian Barberie. There is something about Jillian I don't like and I don't think I've liked since I heard she might have skating experience. That doesn't seem fair. I know, since when are reality shows fair? Leave me alone. Since I am forced to choose between the two that are still competing, I will pick Swanson and partner. One good thing about this: At least there wasn't an episode of padding this week like I thought, but that doesn't mean that there still won't be one!

As promised, a review.
Mood:
 not sure
Now Playing: Couple of movies
Topic: Review Time
Final Destination 3: This was pretty good. None of the stars from the second one are in it though and the only tie to the series is that the events of parts one and two are mentioned in the story. Some of the deaths were slightly over the top, I thought, but at least they didn't linger over them five minutes after it was over (making us look at people after their gruesome accident). I give it a b-. Will there be a part four? I think the success or failure of this movie will determine that for sure.
Rating: B-. Don't bring anyone really squeamish.
First Daughter: First Daughter stars Katie Holmes as the daughter of the President of the United States (Michael Keaton) It was your typical "I want to be myself and not known as the presidents daughter" story. It is pretty formulaic. It also feels like an extra long Dawsons Creek episode.
Rating: C. Its a good time killer, but not much else. Ms Holmes acting range goes from "cute" to "not cute".

Weird On The Half Shell.
Mood:
 spacey
Now Playing: It's not what you think, its much worse!
Topic: Quiz
So took a quiz at this site, and you can too, to see how weird I am. I'm not normal (anyone who knows me would say "this is new?") and I'm not very weird either. Huh.
You Are 50% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it!

Now Playing: Song Of The Day - Oasis "Live Forever"
Topic: Randomness Alert!
So I got to see the Superbowl. It wasn't that great, I kinda wish I did work that night. It wasn't the worst Superbowl ever either, that was the one I fell asleep towards the end of. I think it was the SuperBowl the Ravens won. It was either boring or I was really tired.
A note to Mick Jagger, please, if you want to retain any fans, please refrain from wearing any shirts that don't cover up your tummy or your arms. Thank you.
Skating With Celebrities: Dave "Some Like It Hot" Coulier and Nancy Kerrigan are sent home. Three pairs left, and you know what that means? There will be an episode of "padding" in the near future. I am still sticking with Bruce and Tai though. Yeah, I'm hopelessly hooked on this show.
Raw: Mick Foley makes his quarterly appearance when John Cena announces he will be the special referee for his next match. Raw will be on next week next Thursday cause the Dog Show will be on USA network next Monday and Tuesday. I'm not surprised, it was expected when WWE moved RAW from Spike TV to USA Network.
Upcoming in the next few days: A list of TV episodes that are favorites of mine. They may not be your favorites. You can always go make your own list, I won't stop you.

Monday Blog
Mood:
 chatty
Now Playing: Song Of The Day:
Topic: Randomness Alert!
Skating With Celebrities : Todd Bridges and partner are out, and now Deborah Gibson and Kurt Browning are out. At first I wasn't going to blog the names of eliminated pairs the night it happens but I changed my mind.
There was a highly tramatizing moment on the show tonight: Dave Coulier was in drag. UGH!! Please, FOX, I don't want to ever see Coulier in anything that looks like a dress ever again! PLus Coulier is doing impressions. If he does anything resembling Bullwinkle the Moose or Popeye I'll be tempted to steal his ice skates.
So you might or might not be wondering who I'm voting for? So far I like Bruce Jenner (despite the fact that he was in "Can't Stop The Movie....I mean Music") and Tai Babilonia.
Royal Rumble : Will be seeing this Tuesday night (WWE Pay per views always reair on Tuesday), so this pretty much means I won't see the State Of The Union. I would be pretty much watching it for the commentary afterwards anyway. Tucker Carlson will be on. No I'm not watching him but one of his MSNBC colleagues (you know who I am biased towards!)
Superbowl XL : Turns out I'm working in the morning and will be home to see the game. Hoo yah!
Movie Sign! : I plan to see "Final Destination 3" at the theater when it comes out in a week or so. I will review it in a future blog
Oscar nominations come out tomorrow morning. I'm pulling for "Good Night And Good Luck" and all those involved.
I have no illusuions that Brokeback Mountain will be the Oscar favorite this year, but this past weekends Screen Actors Guild awards prove to me that anything will and can still happen. "Good Night And Good Luck" will be out on video in the next month or so, I highly recommend it.

Now Playing: Sports and uh stuff!
Topic: Randomness Alert!
Superbowl: Yesterday my picks for the Superbowl were Denver and Carolina. What happened? The exact opposite - the Steelers and the Seahawks are Superbowl bound instead of either of my choices.
Since my new job has me working Sundays, its not out of the question that I will be working Superbowl Sunday. While I am not a huge football fan, I will usually watch the big game of the year. I have been watching it ever since 1992. Up till now I've only missed it once (well the tail end of it) due to work obligations, so this is first time I will miss the bowl game almost entirely. I think I will be home after the half time show.
So what's your point, you may be asking by now. All of this blather is to tell you one think: I think the Steelers will win the Superbowl.
And to the ad people who make the ads for the Superbowl: If you have any Cialis type ads, please hold off on them till the game is almost over! No one wants to see those! A small amount of people complained about Janet Jacksons booby, but I imagine that a far larger amount were unhappy with the Cialis ads.
Skating with Celebrities: Ok I called this cheesy but good last week, but during the elimination portion of the program tonight, I was on the edge of my seat. Then I sat back cause damn that is not comfortable. Next week, another show.
WWE: You know WWE isn't interesting when I skip the first hour of RAW to see 24. I don't think I'm missing much though, the first hour is normally made up of who's going to be in the last match of the second hour. Bring back good ol' JR! I like Joey Styles, but Jonathon Coachman has got to go!

Now Playing: Skating Opinion And Such
Topic: Randomness Alert!
So I saw Skating with Celebrities. I watched the whole hour so I can make a justifiable opinion on it. I came to this conclusion, I loved it. I expected it to be cheesy, and it was a little bit, but it's the good kind of cheese. Scott Hamilton, one of the hosts, has always been one of my favorite figure skaters. The celebs did well, I did say in my previous blog that I gave them credit for even trying. Course then again I'm only judging on what I see, the technical aspects of judging are way over my head. Next week will be more difficult, as can be expected.
One complaint though, two of the judges you can already peg for being almost copies of certain American Idol judges. John Nicks is a certifiable "Simon Cowell" (boy did the audience boo this guy, but he had a few good points) and Dorothy Hamill fits in the "Paula Abdul" role (they booed her once or twice so shes not quite the perfect Paula). The last judge, Mark Lund, is Randy Jackson by default.
Will I watch again? It's iffy, I think. Why? The next airing is on at eight o'clock next Monday, the same time I watch a certain Mr. Keith Olbermann!
Oh well, If I want to find out who's out, I guess I will have to make that small sacrifice. Or not... thank god for the midnight re-air on MSNBC!
By the by, notice the link under "Links worth taking a look at", its a great movie review site. And when you sign his guestbook, say Nancy sent you. (What did you think I was going to say? Large Marge?)

Skating With Celebrities
Mood:
spacey
Now Playing: Ice, Ice Baby
Topic: Reality Shows
I'm not a fan of reality shows, at least not the competition related ones. I will watch Dog The Bounty Hunter on A&E once in a while. Its educational though, it teaches you that if you ever get in trouble that you don't want this guy and his posse after you. But other than that I don't watch them.
Tonight I am sacrificing the early showing of Mythbusters in order to see Skating with Celebrities. Or barely celebrities. Where does Todd Bridges fall? Tonight, the answer to that will be "on the ice" I imagine. I could laugh at this but because I'm too chicken to try ice skating I give them credit for even trying it.
 I know I could probably watch Dancing with the Stars but I can barely stand watching ballroom dancing specials on PBS, I don't think I would last through this one, even though WWE Diva Stacey Keibler is involved with it. (Or not, I don't keep track to see if shes been voted off or not)
I'll give it a looksee and blog about it tomorrow. Or not. I'm exhausted just looking at them.

Sing...sing a song
Mood:
 lyrical
Now Playing: Outfield "Everytime you cry"
Topic: Song of the day
EVERYTIME YOU CRY -- OUTFIELD
I'm not the one to tell you what clothes to wear.
I'm not the one who talks about your hair.
I'm not the one to show you how I feel inside.
I'm not the one to say how much I care.
Everytime you cry just a little bit, cry just a little bit,
When you say good bye I die just a little bit, cry
just a little bit more.
I know its late, I guess I should have called today.
I know you're tired of waiting by the phone.
I know you said, you just don't know how long you wait.
I know that you can live your life alone.
Everytime you cry just a little bit, cry just a little bit,
When you say good bye I die just a little bit, cry
just a little bit more.
In a world where there's no one to come to.
In a world where you think there's no one but you.
(guitar solo)
But everytime you need someone to dry your eyes,
You call my name and know that I'll be there!
Everytime you cry just a little bit, cry just a little bit,
When you say good bye I die just a little bit, cry just a little bit.
Everytime you cry just a little bit, cry just a little bit,
When you say good bye I die just a little bit, cry just a little bit.
Everytime you cry just a little bit, cry just a little bit,
When you say good bye I die just a little bit, cry
just a little bit more.
