...also caught "Being Human" on the plane. Virgin America, of course, has to have BBC America on its in-flight programming so I caught a couple of episodes of the show on the flight back home. lampbane first mentioned it to me, and as expected, it totally hit all the right buttons. Of the three main characters, I'm liking George, the werewolf, at the moment. Fie to Cablevision for not having...

Canadian ninja

Continuing the siege against my "to read" pile, I finally tackle one of the LibraryThing Early Reviewers books I've received. I've gotten three so far, and the horrible thing is that I haven't read (much less reviewed) any of them. Timothy and the Dragon's Gate by Adrienne Kress The second book in the series, though you'd be hard-pressed to realize that for the first 200 pages or so. You may ...

Misspent youth

So, thanks to lampbane , a little while back I got turned on to 30 Rock , and lately I've been watching it on DVD through Netflix. I just got done watching the DVD commentary on the last episode of season 2. In that episode, mention is made of "bull semen." In the commentary, Jane Krakowski wonders aloud if they're allowed to say "bull semen" on TV. Jack McBrayer mocks her for asking, ...

Pet Peeves About Sci-Fi #002

Part 2 of a continuing series that I started 3 years ago but have only seen fit to continue now. Because I felt like it. Sometimes a character will show up that's significantly more powerful than the other characters. Sometimes it's an alien, sometimes it's a super-evolved human. Actually, a lot of the time it's a super-evolved human, like Gary Mitchell in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" ( ...

Fun With Branding

The SCI FI Channel Syfy paid for a special wraparound cover on this morning's amNY to promote their premiering shows and new name... or maybe just their shows, if you actually take a look at the cover: Not one, not two, but three instances of the old name, versus... one mention of the new name, down in the corner. Hell, the old logo is one of the most prominent things on the cover. ...

Reality TV! (sigh)

Okay, maybe I'm out of the reality TV loop here, but apparently there's a new show called NYC Prep debuting tonight at 10 on Bravo. From the Bravo page: NYC Prep chronicles the lives of a group of privileged teenagers who are key players in Manhattan's elite high school scene. Students who travel in packs – whether it's on sophisticated vacations or to a townhouse for an exclusive midnight ...

There Is Lots to Doodle-Do

... in this regard, it would be nice to find a way for the site to keep up with the times, Web-wise, and eventually move away from that lovely 1997 design aesthetic. (A long time ago, lampbane came up with a really nice potential redesign which I still have, so I may yet use that as a launching point.) Then again, there's something fitting about an "historical" website that evokes the ...

Idolators, All

That's it, American Idol hates brown people. It's not that the brown people were good and got dissed; nope, they were kind of bad, but the white and black people pulled some of the same shit and the judges spooged all over them with love and adulation. Le sigh. In other news, I went to the Toys "R" Us in Times Square and purchased two of the $3 "Bathing Suit Barbie" dolls - 2009 style for a ...
