Seeker: Up; Betty: Down?

January 27, 2009 Jenn 1,516 Comments

Legend of the Seeker has been renewed for a second season! Although the typical fanboys seem to hate it (see: AICN talkbacks), I’m thrilled. I’m also thrilled that is vidding it as we speak. I enjoy this show, but not in a “Must See Now!” way, but once I get ready to watch each week, I’m never disappointed. Really, in this day and age, there are very few shows that can’t be considered “rip offs” of other shows, so why focus on that? I catch it via DVR through the WGN Network, but it’s also available on Hulu.

In much worse news, Ugly Betty as been backburnered. ABC wants to start a Thursday Night comedy block and Betty has been relegated to post-sweep status. Uh oh. This is potentially very bad news for us fans. However, with the status of PD and UB, I may just be able to let ABC go from my viewing in its entirety. Pfft.

All Hail Scott!

No School due to hail and ice.

Happy Birthday, Scott! :love: :cake: :love:

I plan to take my brother out for a new PS3 game and a renewal to his subscription to Game Informer. You know, because he’s 12 years old, not 30. 😆

All I Forgot

January 21, 2009 Jenn 1,350 Comments

Oh, snap! I totally forgot the island disappeared. I forgot Sawyer jumped off of the helicopter. I forgot there was a helicopter. I forgot Jin may have blown up. I forgot that Hurly was so loveable. I forgot that I used to love this show.

What I didn’t forget was that I don’t like it anymore. My current plan is to give it a shot, forward through any scenes with Faraday (DAMMIT. First scene in and there’s his dumbass face. :cussing: ) It’s not hard to hate this show. I had a whole list of things I forgot, but I can’t be bothered with it now.

[Edit: 9:45pm OK, Heroes is more believable than this. True.]

What To Do With A Snow Day

We’ve had some snow, but not enough (I thought), for a snow day, but here we are. I’m always pleased to have the opportunity to sleep past 4:30am, but I think I might have been better suited (at least mentally) to get back to work.

I’ve spent the morning envying Obama and his inclusion into the club of American secrets (i.e. the Stargate) and wishing that I could have a glimpse of all the unknown facets of the world I call home. I’ve also wondered how hard it would be to knit my own sweaters.
