what’s so bad about halloween?

As I was sitting here looking for something else on the wonder that is Google, wearing my work clothes and the brimmed knit beanie and hoodie from my Halloween costume (because I’m freezing, not because I think they “go”), I stumbled across this blog and am sharing it.
I completely share his views. Halloween is only [...]

frakking *awesome*

I usually don’t post, what, 45 minutes after my last post, but this was way too awesome not to pass on.
Joss Whedon is coming back to television, thanks to Eliza Dushku, and he’s bringing the masterful Tim Minear with him. Can I get a frak yeah?
I loved Faith. I saw right through that tough-as-nails exterior [...]

the hipsters be muggin’ on me all night long

When all else fails and you can’t think of an appropriate post title, just use a random-yet-fun line from a Good Charlotte song…
Anyway, I’m just checking in with some awesome TV tidbits before it’s off to watch tonight’s delicious episode of Chuck sans commercial interruption. I fraktastically adore this show. It is beyond amazing and [...]

the pulse of the battlefield

The following excerpt is from the most recent blog of one of my favorite writers, esteemed historian Victor Davis Hanson. (Yes, I do read non-fiction and, in fact, am currently reading both Joel Rosenberg’s Epicenter — which is eerily accurate, especially since, by forging an alliance with President Tom and Iran, that idiot Putin basically [...]

heroes finally gets good this week

Okay, not that I don’t think it’s been good. I mean, yes, I fast-forward through the Maya and Alejandro stuff, and the Niki/Micah/random relatives stuff (although Monica’s power seems pretty cool), and Mohinder needs to stop whining already, but other than that…
That being said, when I saw Kristen Bell in the previews for next week, [...]

june cleaver was a saint

I don’t know why, but I had these grand delusions illusions of being the perfect surrogate mother for my niece and nephew over the past five days.
I don’t think they’d complain, but I definitely didn’t live up to my own expectations.
So I’m just going to run down the events of my time spent house-, kid-, [...]

it’s friday — i’m keeping the lights on

So last year I caught the leaked pilot of Friday Night Lights before it aired. I instantly fell head-over-heels in love with it, and not just because I’m from Texas and the show’s set in the fictional West Texas town of Dillon.
When all the shows took their Christmas hiatus, NBC shamefully decided to shift FNL [...]

that’s how i roll

Pushing Daisies easily won its time slot last night, garnering 9.12/14 ratings. Which is huge.
I am SO relieved. ABC’s ginormous promotional push as well as the nearly unanimous adoration from the critics really paid off.
I love Matt Roush. We see eye-to-eye on almost everything, and so I was glad I didn’t waste my time with [...]

love/addiction

Matt Roush was right, as usual — tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, “Love/Addiction,” was fantastic.
Let’s get one thing out of the way: Chandra Wilson may as well start writing her Emmy acceptance speech. Based on tonight’s performance, it’s hers to lose.
Okay. Now that that’s out of the way….
As the episode title suggests, the plot centered [...]

what a pie-lette

Sigh.
I am in love with Pushing Daisies.
I don’t think I know enough words to describe the brilliance Bryan Fuller (Heroes, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me) has created, but I’ll make a concerted effort.
It is magical. Whimsical. Enchanted. Vibrant. Beautiful. Touching. Clever. Quirky. Funny. Smart.
Lee Pace is most definitely an Acronym, but then again, he was awesome [...]
