What's It All About?


"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates

While you’re here, in this time and in this space, you are beautiful and you are perfect.

You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.

Some Nip/Tuck fans saw that coming (if you haven't seen the season 5 season finale & hate it when someone spoils the ending of things, skip ahead)

Of course it was a lab mix-up and Christian is not dying. Well, that's a relief. Ah, the roller coaster ride TV dramas can take one on. This was the season finale and now we'll have to wait how long? before the new season starts. Onward as Jen would say. There are plenty of shows in the sea.

It's a beautiful day and I'm hanging out at home. Now that I'm caught up on current TV (if Fringe, Scrubs, Law & Order: SVU had been new episodes last night, this would be a different post) I'll get my lazy behind in gear and do some cleaning in my room and then maybe, just maybe, I'll look at jobs. Or maybe I'll call my parent's and see how they enjoyed their trip. Or maybe I'll call my brother and see how he's doing. He's had a rough go of it the past few weeks since getting laid-off from his job.

OK, so I haven't done a lick of work or called anyone (bad girl : { ) and have now decided to watch the very first episode of "Highlander" (the series.) Imagine the sheer joy I felt when I discovered you could watch TV online. For a TV lover such as myself, it's pure heaven. oh sure there are DVD's, DVRs/Ti-VO and cable, but when you have none of those things (and why don't I? Don't I claim to be a serious fan? Well...?) Shows come and go but thanks to cyber-space they are available and will live on for years to come. There have been quite a few show s I've been curious about over the years and until recently a lot of them were on my list for Netflix but now, thanks to the internet, ha! No more waiting for that little red envelope (though truly, the only negative thing one can say about Netflix right?)

So here goes.

(10 minutes later)

First question...will Richard Moll ever be any other character than "Bull" from "Night Court" for me? It's hard to watch him be this "Slan" character. He really wanted to play the opposite didn't he?

Does one need to watch the movies before watching the series?

Hmm, is thinking that you could be doing better things with your time a sign the show is not that great? Or is it one of those so bad it's good shows?

Oh sure, I'm a big fan of series that have romance elements to them but I just don't know. Maybe this will be another show like "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" and "Remington Steele" that seems like it'd be fun to watch but will unltimately become a show I mostly know about via google, wikipedia, etc.

Adrian Paul sure is sexy though, even with the ponytail. Yes, I said it.

It's finally over. What's the verdict? Will I watch another episode? Nah. I think the sword-fighting will get old for me fast. Is that a good enough reason to not watch again? Why not.

P.S. I am digging this blog thing.
