Harper's Island It’s been a long time, a very long time, since my brother and I were both excited about a new show. Harper’s Island starts this Thursday on CBS and marks a return to classic mystery with modern twists and updated murder methodology. In the few frenzied promos, I’ve caught several familiar geek faces such as Vincent from Cafe Diem (Eureka), Brittany, the Christmas thief (Psych), and of course, the groom-to-be, Henry (Ugly Betty). Scott and I are so into the premise that we’re thinking of joining the “Pick the Victim” game on CBS’s website. We’d love to have more people in our group, so if you go for it, let us know.


HARPER’S ISLAND is about a group of family and friends who travel to a secluded island off the coast of Seattle for a destination wedding. This island is famous for a streak of unsolved murders from seven years ago. Although they’ve come to laugh and to love, what they don’t know is they’ve also come… to die. As the wedding festivities begin, friendships are tested and secrets exposed as a murderer claims victims, one by one, transforming the wedding week of fun and celebration into a terrifying struggle for survival.

In every episode, someone is killed and every person is a suspect, from the wedding party to the island locals. By the end of the 13 episodes, all questions will be answered, the killer will be revealed and only a few will survive.

Don’t miss the broadcast premiere of HARPER’S ISLAND on Thursday, April 9 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT).

NCAA Worst Case Scenario

2,417 Comments

Much like most people love their children, my brother has an almost unnatural love for sports and sports teams; specifically Wake Forest, Ohio State, Denver Broncos, and the hometeam, WVU.

Wake, Ohio State, and WVU all lost their games yesterday in the first round of NCAA March Madness. I liken it to the Pushing Daisies situation, but imagine if ALL your favorite shows got canceled early…devastation, no?

I can’t even imagine what he’ll be like today. My guess is that he won’t get out of bed all day. He owns about three shirts that don’t feature one of the aforementioned teams, so I’m sure he won’t get dressed. I feel so badly for him, but at least now he can watch the rest of the games without the anxiety he always feels when one of his teams is playing. It’s no real consolation, but it’s something.

Bath & Body Count

179 Comments

I expect both to be rather high this weekend. I have already begun the hot bath marathon I always complete when I get sick, and my brother has already begun the body count in Killzone 2. I don’t remember seeing him so giddy over a game, but if it makes him happy…cool. I feel like one of his victims, though. I’m achy, stuffy, and even my eyes seem blurred. Bah.

Send bath salts, please. I’m already pruney.
