A Few Comments about a Few Shows

Since my laptop was like a bad salesman [aka out of commission hahaha], I watched the 3 shows I recorded last night after foodie. So good thing I watched via DVR, since I probably knocked off 25-30 minutes off commercials woohoo. Another good thing Gangland moved to Fridays since I don’t think I could handle keeping up with 4 shows in one night. Anyway here are a few thoughts which are anti-Phil length haha, and please don’t judge me for what I record:

**semi-spoiler alert**

Smallville: damn 8 seasons already? As much as I loved Lana, I don’t miss her too much on the show. At least you could finally see Clark’s character developing and progressing – he’s finally working at the Daily Planet! Lois is pretty much now the primary chick in the show, and still no signs of Lex, so I can’t see this series lasting past this season. I still get amped though when he morphs into SuperHomoSapien and does his thing. Last night’s epi just profiled another meteor freak blah blah…but the seeds of the Justice League’s nemeses are planted.

The Office: the season premiere was hilarious. When I watch TV by myself, I try not to lol, but I was lol-ing throughout haha. Michael is the man, and so is Dwight. Hahha. A couple questions though: why was Ryan just answering phones? I thought he was a VP? And why didn’t they just removed their sportscoats/jackets for the final weigh-in? They could’ve shed like 10 pounds just off of that.

Ugly Betty: I pause for a sec while watching this solo, since its about a chick finding herself while working for a fashion mag in NY, but for real it’s a good show! No homo but I always peep how Daniel is dressed, and the first couple seasons he was mad dapper but yesterday he was slumming it. And LiLo continued her cameo from last year’s cliffhanger. And where’s Henry the Accountant??? Boooo he was the best character on the show!

Thoughts I Thunk about While Thinking

So why when I microwave my leftovers, they’re piping hot like the first 5 minutes of eating but get like frigid as I’m getting closer to the end of my meal? It happened today with the rightunder [whoops I mean leftover] chicken teriyaki I had. I’ma fast chewer but a slow eater I guess. [Cicely I think you blogged about this phenomenon before?]

***

Man so after the first go round of unloading the kicks, I only sold 10 haha. I know I’m asking maybe a lil above market value, but its more like the “HI” price if these kicks were in a Beckett Mag. Damn I used to read every word of those mags and still have the 1st Future Stars edition with Kenny Anderson on the back cover [Todd Van Poppel was on the front lol]. Then again most of them ended on the bleakest day of the US financial markets in awhile, so why is my timing always off??

***

It’s a weird dynamic knowing your siblings might read your blog and even weirder when they talk about it in front of your moms haha. Hmmm don’t think I would like her to read her sons thoughts.

***

Its actually beneficial having a couple whips. Today for example, since we’re going to The Warfield to see Musiq, I just drove the beater in. Hmmm will probably keep it now.

***

Desean Jackson is a fool haha, but I’m just upset that I picked up Darnell Jackson instead. Its like confusing Michael Jackson with Freddie Jackson.

***

So I went to Target to get that Ne-Yo and didn’t realize the Gym Class Heroes dropped too. How come no one told me?? But similar to their first release, that album took a lil while to be appreciated. I was walking around too and noticed their Dreyer’s 1.5 Qt Cookie Dough was more on sale for only $3.50! Dude I paid a premium of 42% [($4.99-$3.50)/$3.50] when I got it the other day grrrrr. I had thoughts of actually returning it haha, but can you imagine returning ice cream? I’m cheap but I draw the line somewhere. But yeah, either they’re a lot cheaper here or the grocery store I shop at shold be frequented less frequently.

***

Speaking of, who’s song is “Single”?? It appears on both The Block and Year of albums [and ummm, not that I have both **cough cough** it was Rol who gave it to me, who it turn got it from Al, so its really his fault haha]

***

Hmm I was always about getting a MacBook Pro but now I’m leaning towards just a regular MacBook, esp if they come out with a 15” version. Right now a 15” MBP is $2K and a 13” MB is $1.5K, and $500 for a 2” gain would be wonderful in the height or shaft department, but debateable when discussing displays.

I’m was thinking of letting a few of my subscriptions lapse, and the first on the chopping block was MAXIM. Then I get the new ish with Megan Fox on the cover. I’m still not gonna renew but at least I’m going out in style haha. Oh yeah check out what I wrote on April 26, 2004 [yes almost 5 years ago]. Reegsta wrote:

“- Anyone know who Megan Fox is? She is aptly named.”

For real if these chicks were stocks, I would be a millionaire. Even in today’s market. Damn I know how to pick ‘em. Oh yeah FWIW, she’s currently #2 on the chick list.

I’m running out of ideas to write about for Ploomy. I should get a suggestion box.

Smallville Season Premiere tonight! Woohoo I'm probably the only one excited, but the trailer shows the seeds of the Justice League! And ladies [and umm some dudes] I know you've seen these previews while watching 90210 and GG and Priveleged and whatever else they show.

Oh yeah lastly, if I chat with you on AIM, I totally apologize for my away message. I swear I only thought it was there for like an hour when I went on a lunch break. Then meeyushel mentioned that I should change it, so I was like huh. Then I purged it, deleted it, resetted my settings, changed my mobile settings and everything, but it was still there! So while there is nothing wrong with cunnilingus, I apologize if I offended everyone, so sorry to go Kornheiser on yall.

Bear with me readers, this is my last installment of SV until season 5 rolls around. 2 words: In. Tense. Don't wanna spoil anything, but from the opening scene to the "end" it was freakin' bananas. It was akin to watching your team play in the Final Four no joke. Haven't done a tilda recap in a minute, so here it goes while keeping it kinda kryptic:

~ its not Lana, its Isobel
~ for every season finale, Lex appears at his darkest moments
~ i loved the red/blue contrasts throughout the show: the blankets, toys, gear...forget captain america, its about captain clark
~ i freakin' hate waiting 4 months to see what happens next. its gonna be a long summer.
~ the town is in shambles again, so how is it gonna bounce back?
~ what doesn't kill LL makes her stronger evidently.
~ how does Chloe find herself in all these precarious situations?
~ Lionel must be the biggest G on the whole show
~ I really hope season 5 isn't the last season =(
~ I felt cheated man...they said a 90 minute finale, but it was more like 60
~ So many questions, questions, questions

Damn this was definitely the best epi of the year. Everything was tied together almost perfectly. Like the Common album, "One Day it'll all Make Sense," and its approaching that. They even gave us another LL/CK scene to build on. Watching it felt like a damn movie. After the opening scene, I was texting Cheryl "!!!!" and received a text from her as I typing it! That's how insane it was. Oh yeah, and that Batman Begins looks pretty bada$$. The countdown til the season premier begins...
