| Veronica Mars Season 3 Premiere |
| 09.26.06 (11:51 am) [edit] |
I was so happy that I was able to view the Veronica Mars season 3 premiere on MSN.com a week before its air-date on the CW. First, I was concerned that since I live in Canada now, that I would be blocked from viewing the episode as I have been for some shows on MSN TV and Yahoo! TV. Second, with my Mom in town for a couple weeks, there's no guarantee that I'll have control of the TV remote on Tuesday night.
My first thoughts are that it's a vast improvement over the season 2 premiere which had my head spinning with too many plot details. This time around I felt like I got to spend quality time with Veronica and her friends, rather than trying to keep up with her from scene to scene. Oh, and Keith! OMG! Keith!! OMG!!! Okay, no spoilers from me.

| Movie Review: The Last Birthday |
| 09.25.06 (10:23 am) [edit] |
Playing only for today in select cities
Rating: 4.5/5
Starring: Dee Kitty, Reego, Ayn Rant, Joolie D, Princess A-M, J.A. Wormcurtain, Mal Content, Knoxious J, I.M. Nigel
Genre: Comedy-Drama
Plot: A single, independent, passionate and insane young woman, Nat (played by the versatile Dee Kitty) hits a calendar milestone and becomes completely unhinged as friends and family watch and weigh in on what she should do with the next 30 years of her life.
I was surprised by how much I liked this film. I felt a personal connection to it, like it was my own life on display. The performances were so heart-felt, real and understated. Nothing was over-the-top, except for that one scene when Anne (played by the curvacious Ayn Rant) stood on a grand piano and declared her undying love for Seth MacFarlane (played by the man himself).
Clearly there is no such film, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their well wishes and gifts (love, time, money and prayers).
THANK YOU!!!

| Made For TV |
| 09.20.06 (12:47 pm) [edit] |
On my tombstone my epitaph will read "Watched Too Much Television". Probabilistically, I am most likely to die in front of a TV. I have accepted that. If you love me, you need to accept that too.
That being said, I've spent the past couple weeks checking out new shows debuting on US television. Nothing has grabbed me yet. Nothing has hooked me and turned me into a crack-whore. At the same time, I haven't watched any extremely awful programming either, except for "'Til Death", a new comedy on Fox.
Below are my initial feelings on the new Fall TV offerings:
Vanished, Fox
A senator's wife goes missing and way too many people could be behind it, including the founding fathers. Huh? Yeah, it's extremely convoluted and I cannot care about the characters. I just can't. I find them all paper-thin and silly. Frankly, I don't care if they ever find the senator's wife or why she was taken.
Kidnapped, NBC
I was surprised at how much I liked this show. I cannot stand Dana Delaney. I always find her characters snotty and whiny. I don't care much for Timothy Hutton for similar reasons. Yet, as a pair of well-to-do, exasperated and frustrated parents of a kidnap victim, they work for me. I love Delroy Lindo in anything and Jeremy Sisto isn't playing a sociopath, so he's cool. The minute the show began, I cared about the characters, I was curious about how things would play out. I want to know. We'll see how long that feeling lasts.
Runaway, The CW
Gosh! Families at odds with law enforcement must be the theme of the Fall this season. Donnie Wahlberg stars as a man on the run with his family, after he jumps bail after being framed for murder. Donnie Wahlberg does a good job of playing a man put upon by circumstances. However, his chemistry with the rest of the cast, especially his family, seems a bit off. Then again, it make sense given that his character, prior to his murder charge, put his career before his family. I found plot holes in the pilot, so that doesn't give me much hope. I pray the writing gets better with each episode.
Smith, CBS
Ray Liotta plays a man with dual lives. On one hand, he's a loving suburban father and husband. On the other hand, he's a master thief and may be even a murderer. The show tries to be slick and the pilot tried to ramp up the shock value but I'm not sold on Jonny Lee Miller and Simon Baker. Baker seems to be the shadiest of Liotta's gang of swindlers and crooks, but I just can't shake the nice guy image he had from "The Guardian". It's entertaining but as one critic said, it's more Ocean's 11 (with Dean Martin, not George Clooney) than The Sting (with Paul Newman).

| Frogs in Boiling Water |
| 09.19.06 (4:01 pm) [edit] |
To explain Incrementalism, Political Scientists like to use the imagery of boiling a frog in water. If a frog is placed in a pot of water and that pot is heated slowly over time, the frog slowly heats and dies. If a frog is placed in a pot of boiling water, the frog immediately leaps out. Basically, it is easier for people to accept incrementally the loss of their political freedoms, where as a sudden loss would be met with an uproar.
What the f**k does this have to do with me being dumped yesterday? Well, I was told that my would-be and I were like two frogs placed in a pot of water set to boil slowly. Just like the gradual heating of the water, things between us slowly heated, with neither of us realizing that we would eventually burn and die. He realized before I did that the pot was boiling and decided to jump out of the pot leaving me in the pot to die. He claims that in his poorly conceived email he was screaming at me from the side of the pot to get out while I still could. Well, that was very generous of him. Asshat.
Why is he an asshat? Well, there is no guarantee that the water was going to boil over and kill us, nor that either one of us couldn't survive or even use a little heat. Frankly, I hate the entire analogy. I AM NOT A F**KING FROG!!

How gutless, spineless, nutless and immature do you have to be to dump/reject/spurn someone via e-mail, Especially when you're sitting less than 20 feet from them? There is an asshole born everyday and today I found proof of that fact.
As Mal would say, may your crotch be infested by black flies and army ants and may your arms be too short to scratch it.
::Takes a deep cleansing breath::
There, I feel better already.

| A New Era |
| 09.12.06 (1:31 pm) [edit] |

Speaking of new suppliers, my place of work has a new paper supplier. This has translated to higher quality toilet paper in the women's loo. Instead of sand-paper's close cousin, we have a quilted, soft and absorbent 2-ply. My ass has never been happier. Long live the new paper supplier!!

| It's not what's inside that counts |
| 09.12.06 (1:29 pm) [edit] |
It's the container. This is according to the lovely folks at the cafeteria. For the past week I have noted an absence of the smaller and medium-sized containers for soup, yet, the small and medium soup is still clearly advertized on the menu. The large container of soup is just too much for me. It's HUGE!
After being forced for several days to buy the large soup, today I asked an attendant for a small or medium cup. She informed me that their plastic utensil supplier had not shipped any small or medium cups today and that the large was all there is. So I asked if I could use the large container, taking a small amount and be charged accordingly. I was told that they charged by the container, not by the contents. So then I asked if they would charge me for an empty large container. The response was "No." Then I asked what would happen if I took a large container and put a spoonful of soup in it. I was told that I would have to pay for a large soup. At this point the attendant was red in the face and rolling her eyes. So, I just excused myself and bought a large soup.
I guess the contents of the container matters - marginally.
