So there’s a new show starting next week. At first glance, Warehouse 13 looks like a sleeker Eureka. Since I love Eureka, I hope there is enough of a difference that I don’t find myself comparing the two shows often. I’m definitely going to check it out, and I’ve already set the DVR to record all episodes. We just found out that Robin Hood is, indeed, canceled. With Harper’s Island wrapping up soon and no new Who or Merlin to keep me happy, I hope this is a show I can really get into (not that Eureka isn’t enough to keep me happy…and I won’t even mention BB).

One By One
I can’t stress enough how much I have enjoyed this show. For anyone who didn’t get into it from the beginning, you can watch all the episodes at CBS.com There has never been a show that I like, my father likes, and even my brother (who can’t be bothered with non-sports tv) likes. This has been a really fun ride and here at end, I STILL don’t know just what the outcome will be. Can’t wait to find out, but I will truly miss it when it’s over.
Friends, Freebies, Food, and Fun
This weekend, Ben came down and we had one of our “old times” days. We ate at Macado’s, shopped around the mall, watched Robin Hood, True Blood, The Backyardigans (sorry, Ben!), Dexter, and RHNJ. There are probably more, but that’s all I can remember this late in the game. Our visit to Macado’s was made even better by the bill coming to -$.04. Christmas gift card in action! Our trip to Border’s was also made better by yet another old gift card. My purchase of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Demigod Files and the Doctor Who Magazine? FREE as well. Woot! I saw a few of “my kids” which made the day even better. Good times!
Monday, Flo came up and we, too, went to Macado’s and the mall. While nothing was free, I was able to spot some wicked new shoes to purchase. I got a pair of K-Swiss sneakers and some brown utility shoes. I also splurged on some white gold hoops. LOVE them. Flo and I talked a little school, a little fashion, and a little crap about others. All-in-all? Another great day.
The fam is still on vacation, so I’m on pet patrol. It’s my job to check on everyone’s cats and make sure they are fed, watered, and litterbox ready. I feel so important. :clown:
Clearly Shocking
I just finished S3 of Robin Hood, and though there are rumors that it will continue, I’m not so sure. The spirit of Robin Hood, as seen in the chant, “We are Robin Hood!” will perhaps always live on, but with so many changes, it will scarcely feel like the same show. I don’t want to give away too much of what happens, but WOW.
I am able to watch such excellent shows in pure luxury thanks to my new DVD player. I contemplated buying a Blu-Ray player, but really, now. Do I need a Blu-Ray when the last DVD I bought was, um, uh, RotK maybe? Hell no. So I went for the Philips 5590. I had read that it has a USB input that can read flash drives–no more burning discs. Awesome! I, however, wanted to be able to take it even further, so I kept reading. Sure enough, I was able to format the external HD my dad gave me so that it reads like a flash drive. I am now able to plug my pocket-sized 250GB external HD into my Divx loving DVD player and watch entire seasons of all my favorite shows with no waiting. I can also watch all our fanvids on the plasma. Niiiice. They hold up well in the conversion. I may never leave the house again.
