Because It Never Gets Old...

"New Hampshire. What a pretty state. Wouldn't it be a drag if we pulled it over... to Mexico? O, ¿qué paso? ¿Qué paso esta allí?"

"FIX IT!"

Gotta love SNL sometimes.

Bones & Zack

No mention of Eric Millegan (who plays Zack Addy) in the opening of Bones. No!!!

They better bring him back this season.

Bones Is Back!

Jon Stewart Returning To Work After 9/11

This comes via The World, According To Me... a blog I frequently visit.

Because I have nothing else to add... even 8 years after the incident.

The NFL Preseason

So, I'd put off connecting my TV to a converter box so far. Mostly because there hadn't really been anything I'd wanted to watch since the switch (just the Stanley Cup Finals... and those came the day after the switch or something). I figured I'd wait until the new seasons of Bones, House, Chuck, Big Bang Theory, etc. started up.

Then I realized that the NFL preseason started today. And just like that, I set up the converter box and I'm ready to go.

Football's back!

For Those Of You With Kids...

As you (might) know, obesity is becoming a problem in America (if it isn't already). Fast food is some of the problem... or so I've heard, I've never actually read Fast Food Nation (and isn't there a movie on that too? If there is, I've never seen it either).

Anyhow, lots of people tend to like fast food. While it might be overly greasy and generally unhealthy, it comes to you quick... which is always good when you're in a rush. And it's cheap. Really cheap. The $1 menu. 5 for $5. They even have kiddie-meals and all to appeal to the youngsters, complimentary cheap toy or crappy gadget included. The children can't resist... they want the cheap toy (and the food), and try to convince their parents. And who can resist the charms of the Burger King guy? (Okay, seriously... that guy is creepy. Really creepy.) And parents, who just see the "cutest kid in the world" (let's be honest... not every kid can be the cutest in the world) can't resist the charms that come with the yelling, crying, kicking & screaming (unrelated... Kicking & Screaming is a Will Ferrell movie. Does that mean it should be avoided? I'm not completely anti-Will Ferrell, but some of his movies are utter crap) and take them to the fast food place of the child's choice (that's a mistake on the parents part, but sometimes you just don't have another option).

On the Will Ferrell topic, I much loved Anchorman, Zoolander, Wedding Crashers (though his role was small & annoying). Elf was meh.

Anyhow, back to the topic at hand (which, if you've forgotten, you can re-read the first couple paragraphs and ignore the one starting "On the Will Ferrell topic"), it's obviously not good for your kids. So the preferable approach would be to keep them away from constantly going to fast food places. There are ways to try and stop them. You could just ignore them, but that would be mean. And if your kids kept screaming & all, others might consider you a heartless parent, which you never want. You could try to get them to find broccoli & spinach & the like as more fun, but let's be honest... unless you have a free toy to give them with it, it's probably not working. You could try to get them hooked on TV instead (Sesame Street? Barney? Does Reading Rainbow still exist? How about Bill Nye The Science Guy? Or Magic School Bus?), because TV is obviously a much better option than fast food in the fight to combat obesity. You could try to get them ahead of other children their age by teaching them how to use the internet (again, though... it's not exactly the best way to go). Or, you could go with the much simpler approach. Just a well placed line or 2. Such as the one below...

Next Season

Watched Chuck last night.
It was awesome!

Can't wait for the next season.

No!!!!

Kutner better be alright!

2 Weeks

till the next new Bones?

Why?!?!?

That said, tonight's episodes (both of them) were great... and the next one looks amazing.

Bones!

It's finally back.
And there's 2 hours of it tonight!

Yes!

Lie To Me

It's not an amazing TV show or anything, but the first episode (aired earlier today) wasn't too bad.

I might give it a shot. Of course, I already have Chuck, Big Bang Theory, Bones & House that I follow (though 3 of those now run on the same day). Plus classes (anatomy's going to be a big pain, physiology, and a half-semester of econometrics), and work & volunteering (both at a hospital and in a lab)... yeah, I don't have much time.

And then there's the Jazz. And the MLB season starts near the end of the semester (okay, maybe the mid-point). And most importantly, the NFL Draft... right before finals week.

Yeah, time isn't present. But if it is, I'll probably give Lie To Me a shot.

Damn Damn Damn

House is moving to Mondays.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What am I going to do now? Chuck, Big Bang Theory & House.
Why not keep it on Tuesdays? Or move it to Wednesdays now that Bones is on Thursdays?

Why the hell???

I think I just became depressed.

Big Bang Theory

So, I caught some Big Bang Theory on Monday night. And I was quickly reminded why I so enjoyed the show when it first started last year. Absolutely hilarious. Now if only it didn't overlap with Chuck. Why, oh why, do they both have to start at 7 PM (MST) on Mondays?

Bones

It's finally back. It's been at least a week, maybe 2. In other words, 3 weeks too long.

Bones

In case it can't be told, I don't mind this World Series (my first 3 posts now are about it). In fact, this is the most excited I've been about a WS in, well... ever (and at the end will, at worst, be the 4th best one, behind the ARI/NYY one, the FLA/NYY and the LAAA/SF one)... but I miss Bones. And there's no Bones today because of baseball.


Sad, no?
