Again Kaba Modern and JabbaWockeeZ killed it. Wasn’t feeling Live In Color. BreakSk8 impressed once again. Iconic was much better this week. Unlike the judges, I liked Status Quo, though their end “stunt” was overly complicated and well…stupid. They got screwed with the Hammer dance. Fish and Chix was the weak link, but maybe it’s my utter hatred for Beyonce. Femme 5 was 100x better than last week…still don’t like ‘em.

Imo JabbaWockeeZ FTW!

Bought some shit. Mostly stuff to further cement my position as nerd extraordinaire. I bought two anime series. Outlaw Star and Vision of Escaflowne. I also have a framed cel from Outlaw Star. Continuing with the anime theme, I also bought a Vash the Stampede zippo. Also finally completed my Full Metal Alchemist series by buying the last 2 dvd’s in the series.

Bought a spiffy case for it from Paul Champagne. He makes custom DVD cases for movies, TV series, anime, and other stuff. For example, he made me a custom case for all my urban drama DVD’s. It holds Menace II Society, Boyz N the Hood, Juice, New Jack City, South Central, & Fresh. I also bought his Terminator, and Kurosawa case’s awhile back. The Kurosawa one holds Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and Hidden Fortress. I’m trying to get him to make one for the Zatoichi films now.

Continuing with my purchases of nerdocity, I also bought 4 graphic novels. Bought Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman: Endless Nights, Death: The High Cost of Living, and Death: The Time of Your Life. The fourth GN is a pre-order of The Killing Joke(hard cover) by Alan Moore.

To round out and finish off my purchases, I got Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman, Vol. 11 – Zatoichi and the
Doomed Man, and Lost: Season 3 on DVD…Allen already hijacked it.

Here’s pics of my Fulmetal Alchemist and Kurosawa cases.

I watched MTV today for the first time in a loooong time. I broke down after catching a commercial for a new reality show. I know, I know. But this one is all kinds of awesome. All you gotta do is ignore everything BUT the competition. The show is America’s Best Dance Crew. B-boy’s and girls from all over America pop, lock, grind…and skate? their way to fame. It was some good shit.

My favorite crew by far at this point is JabbaWockeeZ. Love their style and the masks they wear. The most talented is clearly Kaba Modern. They do not miss. Very precise. Them Asians be going off. Both all girl groups are meh. Especially Femme 5. No personality, and no real style. Then there’s BreakSk8. A crew on skates. Hella talented but not sure how long their gimmick can take them in a “dance” competition.

Lot of other talented crews, but those are the one’s that stuck out to me. Give it a looksee, it’s pretty good.

Yesterday, not only did we get 1 new episode of Chuck, but we got 2! Decent stuff, though if Adam Baldwin wasn’t on the show I don’t think it’d be even 1/10th as good. He makes the show. And of course Yvonne Strahovski is all kinds of hotness. Evidence…

.

Episode 12 was kinda slow. Not too interesting…matter of fact, I don’t remember what happened other than “Captain Awesome” and Ellie’s issues. I enjoyed episode 13 much more, though again, Baldwin steals the show. A fun, turn your mind off type of show.

…Oh how I lov…loath..no, it’s something in between those two. Damn the writer’s strike for forcing this upon me! Today I watched Rock of Love II, My Fair Brady, and Celebrity Rehab.

Rock of Love II is ridiculous. How the hell is that crazy, ugly, amazonian, French chick still there? She’s just fuckin’ frightening. Not much else to say. I feel sorry for the ladies(and I use the term loosely) who think they’re gonna actually become Mrs. Bret Michaels. He’s only in it for the abundance of easy ass.

My Fair Brady is ridiculous in a completely different way. There’s no chance in Hell they stay together. She’s fuckin’ looney toons, and he’s freaking over a nude photoshoot. Most men would love that shit. Maybe he’s just using it as a reason to leave her in the future. Definition of “trainwreck TV”.

I’m actually liking Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Ricco Rodriguez is a giant douche bag. Mary Carey looks to be headed for a giant crash. Baldwin is a little too self-righteous. Chyna’s been pretty much obsolete. Overall, not a bad show.

Now, if I could only get this stench off of me. I feel so dirty. Writer’s! Come back!

Did you know?…Better yet, do you care? Yeah, me neither…yet I’m watching it. Tre seems to like it. Chose it over his normal nightly watching which consists of Batman, The Batman, and Justice League of America.

I fucked up with netflix. Accidentally got the Escaflowne movie before I’m even close to finishing the series, so sending it right back. Why’s that a fuck up worth mentioning? Cuz I got only got one disc of the series instead of two and it left me hanging. Serious f’n cliffhanger. I’m jonesin’ man, I’m jonesin’.

I quit watching season 3 with about 7 episodes to go. I don’t know why, I just did. I had them on my DVR, I just was in no rush to watch them. Then in a moment of momentary stupidity while cleaning my DVR of old programs to make room for new. I deleted the final 7 episodes. I didn’t even notice until I clicked ok for the finale what I had done.But I think that was a good thing. I downloaded the final 7 episodes and watched ‘em via my 360 over the course of the last 2 days and it has renewed my love for the show. I just loved every bit of it. I actually teared up twice during the finale with Charlie’s swan song. I’ll check my “man card” at the door on my way out.

This show is so much better when you watch the shows back-to-back other than weekly. I also would get all into it and check rumor boards and whatnot, and I think that kind of ruined it for me as well. I liked just watching things unfold like a good book. Coming up with my own hypothesis and whatnot without being influenced by others.

Can’t wait for Season 4 now…though, much less enthused with it being shortened to just 8 episodes. I fear the writer’s strike could be the death knell for Lost.

Sidenote: Jack is still a horrible f’n character.

Unlike the sub-par season of Heroes, Dexter kept it exciting all season long. The finale was no exception. I was sad to see Doakes gone. His dynamic with Dexter was easily the best part of the show. Lila finally getting hers was a long time coming. She was my least favorite character, though I did like the way it all played out with her(minus killing Doakes). The conflict with her, Dexter, and Rita was nice.

Not sure where they go next season. I hope they don’t rehash this season with LaGuerta taking up Doakes obsession. Whatever they do, I can’t wait. Dream on Dexter!

Current Mood: Sick

Heroes went out with a whimper which is about par for the course this season. Peter was so fuckin’ stupid all season. Of course everybody at one point or another had a case of the “stupids” this season. The blunder twins were pretty pointless, especially the brother. Glad he got offed, but it took too long. I jumped…(well you know what I mean) for joy when the sister was killed…then they brought her back like a minute later. Only plus was Hiro burying Adam alive and pretty much anytime Sylar got some screen time. The writer’s strike just killed Heroes. Adam’s role was just wasted. I hate when something has such great potential, then delivers nothing. The 2 “deaths” were predictable as all hell too. I put deaths in quotation marks because nobody stays dead apparently. This season gets a hard C.

Dexter on the other hand has been fantastic. Especially the episode before last. Great stuff between Dexter and Doakes. Lila has some serious fricken’ issues. Can’t wait for the final 3 episodes. Gonna be a vastly different show if Doakes bites it.

Dexter is getting better and better. I originally disliked the love triangle but it’s getting pretty damn good. I hope Doakes isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Love the dynamic between him and Dexter and it got ramped up Sunday to the nth degree. Good stuff.

Weeds is pretty much a parody of it’s self at this point. Do like the story of the youngest now “seeing” and “talking” to his dead dad. Poor little bastard.

I finally saw the “Booze Cruise” episode of The Office, and didn’t realize how big that episode was. I LOVED it when Jim broke it off with his lady friend. It was so cringe-worthy.

House was awesome as per usual. I knew that Michael Michelle was gonna get fired but didn’t expect it so quickly. Finally get some insight into “number 13″ next week. I totally dig her by the way. Surprised Kumar’s lasted as long as he has as well as the “bitch”.

Chuck gets an automatic win once again this week as he had an Oldboy poster in his room. He may have had it in there in past episodes but I never noticed it. Decent episode as well.
