Current Mood: Chill

Sorry, I’ve been letting my laziness get the best of me. Figured I should make at least one post before I disappear for a month.

God this trip is gonna suck. We are planning to hit up Vegas though so that’s a plus. Gonna try to go see Cirque De Soleil and Penn & Teller. Maybe Cheech & Chong, not positive yet. Other than that I plan to stay holed up in my room the entire time. Biggest problem will be trying convince people I actually like being alone. It’s not JUST a “fuck family” mentality. People in general just aren’t big on my list of things I like. Oh I have a list. Number one on the list…Me being left the fuck alone a good portion of every day. Of course that doesn’t work too well now that we have she who shall not be named’s kids. My weekends are shot, but I’m getting used to the idea…I guess. Anywho, I digress…this trip is gonna suuuuck.

Been watching some TV…shocking! Mostly The Cleaner on A&E. Really decent show starring Benjamin Bratt. About an ex-drug addict who made a deal with God and now is doing “god’s work”. Whatever the hell that means. Well for his character, it means, helping other’s kick whatever addiction they have. No matter what, when, how, or why. I’m enjoying it.

****FMA Spoiler Alert for Allen****
Also, Tre and I finished up Fullmetal Alchemist. Really good fricken’ anime. Ended about as good as it could. Pussed out on some deaths. Mustang should have died. I think it would’ve been fitting. I generally hate overly sappy, nice, perfect endings to shows and whatnot but I would’ve really liked to have seen FMA end that way. With Ed & Al getting their bodies back, retiring from the military and moving back home. Just would have been a nice way to end it after all the shit they went through. And they went through a lot of shit. My 3rd favorite anime behind Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. We’re watching Outlaw Star now. Having a had time getting into it. The English voice acting is atrocious. Way too childish sounding.

Hmm, what else? Went to my cousins football game last Friday. They won huge, 45-0 or something like that. Drew’s the kicker, punter, Wide Receiver, and Free Safety I believe. He’s pretty good. Their best Wide Receiver easily imo, yet they rarely pass it to him. We’re going to his game Friday the 26th as well. Sally(my Aunt) is gonna take the kids then to give my mom a chance to get everything together for our long, shitty trip. Hope things go okay. They(the kids) get discipline here, but we’re pretty lax. They don’t really have to do much. As long as they’re good, they get to pretty much do whatever…within reason. Sally on the other hand is very strict. I mean, maximum security prison strict. Should be an interesting first couple weeks, what with Tay’s epic stubborn streak. Not too worried with Tre. He’s a pretty good kid.

Hmmm, haven’t been doing much reading since getting Rock Band 2. I’m still a vocal God.

That’s really about it. She who shall not be named already “quit” her job. We think she was fired. The job was too hard for her…that job…stocking shelves…*le sigh*. Of course no visitation this week. Wish this would all just end so the kids(and us) could move on with our lives. Well, I’m out. Hope to have kept mildly entertained with this long, pointless, meandering, unfocused, boring post.

PS: My worst fears realized…The Chiefs are worse than the Raiders…The RAIDERS!

Current Mood: Indifferent

This post is to get all 3 of you who read my blog up to speed with the goings on in between my drama filled life.

Firstly, and most importantly, I am a Rock Band GOD! We bought the game a little over a month ago and I rock the vocals. I’ve spent about 80 bucks on songs with The Who pack easily being my best purchase. I love singing all those songs. The worst purchase easily being David Bowie’s “Heroes”. As a quadriplegic with very little if any diaphragm control, this song kills me. I literally damn near passed out. I had to lay down in the middle of the song while singing it. I haven’t sang it since. Hate that fricken song.

Only other songs I don’t really enjoy singing is “Epic” by Faith No More and “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys. Then there’s the songs…well song I can’t sing while anybody(Cody) is in the room cuz he laughs his ass off while I sing it which in effect causes me to laugh thus ruining any chance of a good score. It really is quite comical. Oh the song is Jukebox Hero by Foreigner.

Next up is some celebreality TV. I won’t bore you with details, but right now I’m watching I Love Money and The Two Coreys.

Watched some anime. In particular Captain Herlock(crap), and the first 3 discs of Noir. Herlock was garbage. No redeeming qualities. The jury is still out on Noir. It’s not bad, but the story is taking a loooong time to develop. But it’s interesting enough to keep me…well interested.

In almost anime news, the Avatar wrapped up, and it was sweet! The final fight between Zuko and Azula was fantabulous. Oh I said fantabulous. The music made it even better, epic even. And Azula’s quick descent into madness was great to watch. Very believable. Possibly the greatest character development in an animated series ever. Easily the greatest thing to come out of Nickelodeon.

In related news, I fear for the live action version being directed by M. Night Shyamalamdingdong. Apparently it’s gonna be a trilogy with each movie based on the 3 “books” of Avatar. I hope he(M. Night) can regain his touch from his first few movies. Most would say “what touch?”. Well I personally enjoyed Unbreakable and Signs. Since then, things have gone downhill fast for him.

In semi-related anime news…fuck Keanu Reaves…that is all.

This is already a big post, so I’ll finish it on my next post.

One last note. Thanks to all who sent their prayers, thoughts, and condolences. It really meant a lot. More than you’ll ever know. Again, thank you.

Current Mood: Tired

Today I watched the final 3 episodes of Miss Rap Supreme. I’m glad Reece won, but man do I have a serious attraction to Byata. I can’t explain the attraction, but I find her extremely sexy. So feeling her.

But anyway, I love Reece’s fire, and flow. I could easily see her with Busta Rhymes crew when they’re doing their grimier more street songs. She’s just so raw. Unfortunately I see Byata going the way of Fergie and Gwen Stefani(as Ms. Cherry pointed out). Never liked Fergie, just horrible. And I liked Gwen when she was with No Doubt, but her solo stuff is garbage. I doubt we see Ms Cherry again, and pray we don’t see Chiba’s fake ass. Enough of that.

To continue my lazy day, I watched 2 episodes of Ghost Hunter on Sci-Fi. Unimpressed. I just don’t believe in ghosts and that show did nothing to change things. Boooooring. Moving on…

Next up is more reality schlock with Celebrity Circus. Meh. Didn’t finish it due to the station fucking up. I’m sure I’m not missing much. I can’t believe how incredibly hot Stacey Dash still is. In her 40’s and looks exactly the same as she did in Clueless. Hell, going back even further, she looks the same as she did in Moving w/ Richard Pryor. Unreal.

To finish off my exciting fun-filled day, I finished up disc 2 of Captain Herlock. An anime recommended to me…Unimpressed. I’m gonna finish it up quickly so I can send it back and never think about it again.

Oh, also kicked Drew’s ass in NBA2k8 a couple times and played about 3 hours or so of Lost Odyssey.

And that is my exciting day. Now I’m off so I can play a quick game of NBA2k8 with Tre so he can go to bed.

Current Mood: Crazy

Stephen loses Time’s Top 100 most influential people to Korean pop star Rain.

Rain shows up at the studio for an after hours dance-off with Stephen.

Current Mood: Bored

So I can’t seem to stop watching all this celebreality TV Vh1 keeps throwing out there. I mean I haven’t stooped as low as watching Flavor of Love, but it’s still bad…in a good way…I think.

First up is Celebracadabra. A bunch of C and D level celebs compete in a magic competition. This had me interested cuz I dig me some magic. It fascinates me.

The biggest celeb is easily C. Thomas Howell and he hasn’t been relevant for nearly 20 years. When one of your recent movies is “Mutant Vampire Zombies from the ‘Hood!” things are not going well.

It also stars Kid from Kid ‘N Play, a hip-hop duo from the early 90’s and “stars” of the House Party trilogy. Now I ain’t hatin’. I own House Party 1 & 3 and do in fact enjoy the hell out of both of them. I’m just sayin’.

Also stars…well starred that annoying fucker Ant. I only know him as the host of other even crappier reality shows. He got the boot this past week which as much as I hate him, it could kill the show’s trainwreck factor.

The rest of the cast consists of a who’s who of “who the fuck is that?” Not great reality TV but the magic will keep me coming back

Next up is Miss Rap Supreme. Same exact setup as last years MTV show “The White Rapper Show”. Only this time as you could probably guess, MC Serch is Serching(see what I did there…clever) for the next big female rapper. Easily the best part of the show was Khia, the one hit blunder and singer/rapper of that shitty ass song “My Neck, My Back” being eliminated. For those who missed out on the greatness of the White Rapper Show and “King of da Burbs”, at the end of every show one of the teams is up for elimination. They must write an original 16 verse rhyme on the subject of Serch’s choosing. Well Khia’s dumb ass not only didn’t write an original verse but spit 16 lines off a song she had already recorded and put out. Needless to say she was sent packin’. It’s ridiculous that Lady Twist was sent home this past episode. I think she had the most potential.

I forgot what else I’m watching…hmm. Well I already dedicated way too much time on these shows this post anyway, so I’m out!

Current Mood: Happy

…wish it was Sunday, that’s not funnay, I don’t have to runnay…Just another media Monday.

Sorry, the song(”Manic Monday” I think by Bananarama ) has been stuck in my head all morning. Anyway, I don’t have a life to speak of so here’s a recap of shit I’ve watched…

House returned and it’s still all kinds of awesome. I’m liking the dynamic with House, Wilson, and Vindictive Bitch even if it is a bit childish. Also Kumar is starting to grow on me…he’ll always be Kumar but he’s starting to find his way.

Of course The Office is always great and last Thursday was no different. I missed some of it thanks to Mother Nature and frequent cut-ins by the local news weatherman to tell us about said Mother Nature. Stanley was great and Michael actually handling it well in the end really helped this episode. Kind of disappointed they didn’t follow up on Toby from the previous week and his oh so creepy knee rubbing.

Earl is Earl. Consistent but nothing you have to see.

Scrubs is still very funny and I’ll say it again. Scrubs final season yet ER is still going on.

Finished up Neil Gaiman’s Eternals. Good stuff. Looking forward to the upcoming series. Hopefully it’s a continuation of Gaiman’s work. Gonna read Live Wire next.

Went and seen Iron Man yesterday and it is fuckin’ awesome! Robert Downey Jr. played the role great. They sorta touched on Stark’s drinking problem which I’m guessing will play a bigger role in the sequel. As I’m sure War Machine will also make it’s first appearance as alluded to in the film, with Terrence Howard looking at the Iron Man prototype suit and saying…”Maybe next time.” And the teaser in the end credits was sweet. Ultimate Nick Fury!

Good year for for comic nerds, what with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk reboot, Dark Knight Returns, Hellboy 2 and the new Indiana Jones flick all hitting theater’s this summer. Can’t wait. I might go see Prince Caspian this month as well, depending on finances.

That is all…for Media Monday.

Current Mood: Tired

Just some random musings on things I’ve watched, read, and plan to watch, read.

I’ll start with Thursday night on NBC. A nice return of the Office we all know and love. Michael’s odd form of crazy, Creed’s awesome one-liner’s…”Then I’ll have 2, only one more to go.” lol. The sweet relationship between PB&J. Just good stuff last night. My favorite line/moment of the night was Michael’s conversation with Oscar. When he called Oscar, “Oscar Meiner Wiener Lover” and referenced his homosexuality as “your condition” I was rollin’. And of course the end with PB&J was great, and love those little moments in the show.

Earl had one of it’s better shows of recent. Funny and touching. Really, really enjoyed this weeks episode.

Scrubs has yet to be watched, but it’s almost guaranteed funny.

Next up is movie time! First up is Transformers. I was a HUGE Transformers freak as a kid. My favorites being Soundwave, Starscream, and of course Optimus. So initially I was excited as hell when I heard there was a live action version coming out…then I saw the character designs and my excitement was gone. I loved it when Megatron would transform into a gun for one of the Decepticons to fire. Anyway, so I decided to boycott then new movie. I was sick of Hollywood raping my childhood with half-assed uninspired remakes of things I loved as kid. Then I suddenly had a munchkin(Tre’) to entertain and had just bought the HD-DVD add on for my 360. So I broke down and bought Transformers in HD-DVD. I figured it’d at least be pretty and you can’t go wrong with giant fuckin robots beating the shit out of each other. So I watched it, and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t a Transformers movie as I knew it, but it was a fun action movie. Not gonna lie, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Needed a little more robot on robot action, but what can you do.

Also watched Stardust. Originally a book written by one of my favorite writers Neil Gaiman. I had a longer post concerning this movie but something fucked up and I lost it, so in summation, I will be buying this movie in the near future. Great fantasy movie.

I read The Secret Garden for the first time in like 20 years. Great book…for tweens. Next up in the literature department is The Eternals by the aforementioned Neil Gaiman or Live Wire by Jay MacLarty, the third book in the awesome Simon Leonidovic series.

In more pressing matters, is the sudden relationship between anime and Hollywood. We’ve already got Speed Racer coming. And according to Attack of the Show, Steven Spielberg is doing a live action version of Ghost in the Shell, M. Night Shyamalamadingdong is doing Avatar, and in the biggest head scratcher is Leonardo Dicaprio producing and starring in Akira. Fuck you Hollywood! So little creativity, so many greedy suits. I do however have a small interest in a live action Avatar, though finding someone good enough to fill the title role will be a bitch. He’s so damn likeable in the series.

That is all.

…continue to kill it on America’s Best Dance Crew.  The MTV crowd continues to show it’s stupidity by having Kaba Modern in the bottom half this week.  Status Quo is fun, but it’s time for them to go.  Just let Jamal from Status Quo join JabbaWokkeeZ.  I totally wanna hang out with him for a day.  He seems to have a lot of fun.

It’s a shame that BreakSk8 is at home, and SQ is still around.  They got screwed.  Dreamgirls for 5 dudes on skates?  Come on!  I smell a conspiracy!  BreakSk8 was easily the most consistent(and talented) crew not named JabbaWokkeeZ or Kaba Modern.  If the final two don’t come down to those two, I’ll…ummmm….well, I’ll do nothing, but MTV can fuck itself….even if the final two are Jabba and Kaba, MTV can still fuck itself.

I’m gonna stop typing now, before my computer freaks out and blows up.  Peace!

I submersed myself in reality tv today. Got caught up on Celebrity Rehab. Anybody runnin’ a pool on who will actually stay sober? I say it’s a clean sweep…and none of ‘em do. I like Mary Carey, but I don’t think she has a chance. I say Chyna’s dead by 2009 whether it be suicide or accidental OD. Ricco’s still a fuckin scumbag. If I had to bet, I’d put my money on Shifty…maybe Brigitte. Jaimee Foxworth is gonna get bombed out of her mind within a week. Jessica Sierra is a toss up. I’m leaning towards relapse, but then cleans her act up. It sure as hell doesn’t look promising for any of ‘em.

Also watched the BBC’s Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares. Not much commentary, other than the owner being a loser. Kudos to the head chef for being a stand-up guy willing to help troubled youth.

I just deleted my DVR recording of My Fair Brady. There are no redeeming qualities to that show. I’m ashamed for ever watching it. Just total crap.

Watched America’s Best Dance Crew Saturday or so. Again, I think the JabbaWockeeZ did the best in actually following the guidelines. I really liked Status Quo and Kaba Modern as well. I never liked Live in Color. Same thing every fricken’ week. BreakSk8 was kinda just there. And nobody really cares what Fysh N Chicks did. I’ll be shocked if they last another week.

Side note: Jayhawks killin’ Texas Tech…woohoo!

NSFW post incoming….

After a somewhat long delay I shall continue my bodacious Betty countdown. Coming in at number 7 is a woman who’s career, as far as I know, only consists of hosting a cable TV show on G4. She is Olivia Munn, and co-host of Attack of the Show. The only somewhat watchable show on the channel, other than Ninja Warrior. She wouldn’t have made my top 10, but then I saw her dressed as Princess Leia and she rocketed to number 7. And here she is…

..

Next up is another Hegre model. She is known as Jenya and Katie Fey. Perfect breastesses. Sorta looks like Katie Holmes before her indoctrination. She(Katie Holmes) would’ve made the list but Scientology is so not sexy. Anyway, some mild nudity is heading your way. As she is a nude model…but oh so damn hot. So at number 6 is Jenya!

...

And to wrap up the day, coming in at number 5 is someone who is apparently famous but I don’t know what for. I remember seeing her in something but I’ll be damned if I can remember what. All I know, is she is damn cute…and here she is, Miss Arielle Kebbel
