I said When I Wake Up but I forget to say And Then Thirteen Hours After That, give or take. Don’t look at me like that. I had stuff to do!
Get a new cell phone (which is the sucky non flip top kinda, but it was either that or pay an extra $150 to be able to flip and I don’t want to flip that bad – I did get insurance on the phone this time), clean out a room that’s being painted tomorrow maybe, deposit my one dollar check, go to the dealership to get an oil change, figure out what to do when the dealership is closed on Sundays, that sorta stuff.
And watch a lot of TV. So so important.
I just watched the Ripping Friends for the first time. You’re waiting for the funny part to come, and then you’re waiting, and then you’re waiting and then you’re just kinda bored with the whole thing. The Yogi Bear take off thing the same guy did was a lot the same, where it was really strange but not funny or even that entertaining. Maybe it gets better after the pilot? Maybe I don’t stick around to find out? I dunno. Between that and the Oblongs, there’s an hour there I can skip if I’m willing to miss out on the commercial shorts.
Seriously, though, they couldn’t have just thrown on two Space Ghost episodes tonight? The mini horse deals were fun but not enough.
Okay, now I’m watching the Popeye show instead of doing anything. This is getting sorta sad.
CD Update – my Big Brat mp3 was messed up so I need to reborn that CD. And make another one for this week, so I’m already looking for song and not finding anything good. Kazaa is a worthless pile of faked and corrupted MP3s incredibly frustrating, so I’m using other stuff now. I mean, bad MP3s are the cost of doing business at this point, but they’re still really annoying.
I need to see Chris Hero. I also need to find a good book to read and time to do it. Perhaps instead of watching random cartoons.
I didn’t mention the end of Home Movies – outside of when I complained about the choices Cartoon Network was making – because, well, I didn’t really dig it. Brandon made a comment along the lines of hating to writing endings, and it felt like real life Brandon was living that out. It was like they were trying to hard to say something, or even just find something to say, instead of being funny, at least as funny as they were in other episodes.
It’s one of the rare times where you don’t want the writers to be conscious that This Is (Probably) It and adjust accordingly; I think I would’ve enjoyed just another edition of Mellisa, Jason and Brandon making their movies instead of expounding on endings and the camera getting broke.
It’s still on my TiVo, in the “stuff I can’t bear to delete because I risk never seeing them again” section, so maybe I’ll watch it again and change my mind.
The Peanuts dancing gag, that was pretty funny.
I got MVP Baseball Tuesday on the way home, and I’ve played it like twice. Since all my friends and me do is play multi-player franchise mode on Madden, it’s a tremendous disappointment that MVP doesn’t have the same abilities. Why wouldn’t they do that by now in all games? I wasn’t expecting them to just be that far along, I was expecting them to be able to do that sort of thing on-line by now, seeing as I have/had PC games ten years ago that could do that.

Somedays I think it’s best if I don’t watch the Cubs games. But then Ron and Pat can drive you insane.
No coments about Birdman?
I thought it was the usual hilarious.
You haven’t seen Ren & Stimpy APC, right?? Not something I would recommend.

Damn right, you need to see Chris Hero. Me and Scott Christ are avid Hero fans at this point and he is really all the rage right now. He has a really neat blog, but also, has a really unique wrestling style that I’ve never seen out of someone his size before. He does really neat matwork and is especially stiff. And he’s really lost a lot of weight so the style works a lot better for him now as his matwork looks fluid. My one beef with him is that I saw him in a match with Jimmy Rave and he sold for him way too much. If you’re 6’4, wrestle like you’re 6’4, ya know? Especially if the guy’s like 5’11, 180.
I’m probably gonna get the Ericsson T600 by next month. I have the T300 right now and it SUUUUUCKS.
My tapes should come in a couple days. Joy.
You think with the extra month to kill between the semi-inevitable Orton/Shelton fued they might actually listen to the crowd last night and throw Matt v1 in there for the month? Or will they just dismiss it to “Canadian fans is different”?
Well, I doubt it since Matt just jobbed to Venis last night! I just found it rather amusing how the crowd went MILD for Edge. Rising star, my ass!
On HM- I’ve REALLY not been digging the final season save for the “Bye Bye Greasy” episode and maybe the opener, as they seem to have relied too much on one-note characters (Junior Addleberg, Fenton- who are good in small doses) instead of putting a lot of effort into the scripts. However, McGuirk’s adventure in buying swords in the “Wizard’s Baker” ep was hysterical and an all-time highpoint for me. “Spaghetti time.”
Really, I don’t think they could top the past, and kinda knew that this season was It, so Small didn’t really put his heart into this season. The finale was kind of representative of that, for better and for worse.
On Hero- I am about the #1 Hero mark there is. What I’ve found is you have two camps- people that totally worship Hero, and people that think he’s overrated and rag on him for things like “not looking like a wrestler”. Those people are asses, and tend to hang out on the ROH forum anyway.
I’d highly recommend the 2003 Ted Petty Invitational to anyone looking to get into Hero, and into IWA-MS (my favourite US fed- Toryumon ties it for favourite overall, depending on how goofy the booking gets). I guarantee you will come out of those shows a HUGE fan of Hero, Alex Shelley and Ian Rotten. Yes, that Ian.
It’s time to pay the price.
