Snow-Leopard
Won’t have a computer today and tomorrow because I’m busy installing Snow Leopard, which should take no time at all, and copying everything from my old PC to turn it into a media server, which will take hours upon hours.

Saw a grim in the sky the other day (a “Harry Potter” thing for you non-geeks)!

Got caught up on “True Blood” and only two real thoughts occured to me (no spoilers):

  • Finally, everyone is back in Bon Temp.
  • Why the hell don’t the main characters have cell phones?

“Mad Men” Bores Me

Filed under: Mad Men, TV — Scott King at 4:03 pm on Wednesday, August 26, 2009


We are now up to Season 3 Episode 2 and I still don’t like “Mad Men.” It’s not that it is a bad show, because it isn’t. The acting is great and it is well produced, but it bores the hell out of me.

There isn’t a single character I care about and about 80% of what happens is bad. The only reason I’ve not stopped watching the show is because it is such a “critically acclaimed show” and I hate not knowing what’s up. However, like “Sopranos” and “Rescue Me” (the style of “Mad Men” reminds me of both shows), I think I’m done.

So I’m ticked about “Eureka’s” Jo and Zane appearing on “Warehouse 13.” The previews made it seem like the shows were doing a small crossover but it wasn’t! The actors played different characters. Shame on you SyFy for being missleading.

Re-Watched “Avatar: The Last Airbender”

I’ve been a fan of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” since the very first episode aired. In fact I list it as one of my top five favorite shows of all time. So after all this huh-bub about Jame Cameron’s “Avatar” I decided I needed to spend some time with the REAL Avatar. (Read on …)

Rumer Willis on “Secret Life”

If the acting on “The Secret Life of an American Teenager” wasn’t bad enough, Rumer Willis is now doing an arc where she plays a toe-faced pregnant 16 year old. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on TV!
