TV. '05: reruns

friends- at the beginning of the year i was really into this show. it is on almost eight times a day around here! after a little while though, the show kind of loses something, i dont know what it is, but i slowly lost interest and now i dont watch it at all.
yes, dear- i know its not the greatest show ever, but there is a sort of charm to it. for a while i would watch most of the episodes recorded, but my interest has wained. ill still watch an episode here or there occasionally.
just shoot me- my interest in this show lasted about a day.
dharma and greg- i saw an episode and kind of liked it. then i got over it- quickly.
cosby show- they started showing reruns on tv land. i totally loved this show growing up, its nice to revisit some of the old episodes now and then.
becker- i never discovered this show until they started reruning it on wgn. it is so good! i discovered it over the summer, which is when i dotn have a job. so i ended up watching every single episode i could find. fortunately for me, they were rerunning it on three different channels around here! so i would actually watch three episodes of this show a day! the show wasnt on for that many years, so i think i have actually seen every episode. i havent grown sick of it, i have just seen everything. too bad.
TV. shows that are stupid

csi- i dont like crime dramas, and i especially dont like procedural dramas.
csi miami or new york- see above.
law and order- see above.
law and order svu- see above.
law and order whatever else- see above.
shield- see above.
boston legal- see above. (but i will give it props for keeping shatner on the air)
e ring- see above.
close to home- see above.
numbers- ok, i give. this is actually the only cop-ish drama i enjoy. and mostly thats because i really loved the movie 'pi' and it totally reminds me of some of the cool stuff in there.
TV. the colbert report

i remember a particular sketch they had from time to time called stephen vs steven where stephen colbert would argue with steven correl. each time they would devolve into childish name calling and yelling. it was so funny.
as much as i like the daily show, i think i actually like the colbert report better! the humor is amped up to 11. colbert totally makes fun of his opinions and makes himself into a parody of all the stupid talking heads on the other news shows. its really great stuff. i love his "the word" each day. one of the funniest things is when he goes over to the table to talk with his guest, he does like a victory cheer with fists pumped in the air. sort of a 'im awesome and the guest is no where near as cool as me!' dance. priceless. another great part is the "get to know your representative" feature where he highlights one representative a week (there are 435 in all). i think the best episode so far was the one with jeff daniels. stephen kept asking him questions about his hometown, even asking him which local paper he read, and what he felt of the local resolution to raise funds for a local group. it was really funny.
the daily show and the colbert report are two really great shows, and a perfect hour of televison for those who want to pretend to be current with the days events.
BOOKS. state of fear

i picked up the new one earlier this week (i wait till paperback, as most smart people do- its like 20 bucks cheaper) and was checking out the list of books he has written, an di realized ive actually read all of this other fiction books! shoot! anyway, i look forward to starting this new one. i dont really know anything about it, and i think i prefer that. a new adventure begins...
WORDS. tetris head

GAMES. bomberman

anyway, ive recently bought a new game which cemented this conclusion of mine. i recently bought super bomberman for the nintendo ds. its a really old game, nice and simple. its been updated in the graphics department and modified so as to take advantage of the touch screen, but other than that, its about a fifteen year old game. and i cant get enough of it! i actually have to set limits on myself. i cant play it within two hours of bedtime, or else i get tetris head and my sleep is ruined!
ill put this new conclusion to the test in a couple weeks when the ds mario kart game comes out.
BOOKS. narnia

GAMES. lets not pretend
