Hey, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D ( Read more... )

We watched the show last night. Austin and I made a game of rating each tribute performance, and it was interesting to see that we both had roughly the same feelings about each performance.

Our system was to start everyone with an 8. If the performance was close to the original Beatles version, the score went up. If the performer did a good job ( Read more... )

I'm in the midst of transferring my phone, Internet and TV service to an all-in-one package through the local cable company. We've become very dissatisfied with DISH Network in the past few months (too much to bother telling...let's just say that they do not handle their long-term customers with any respect or honesty).  I have had no complaints ( Read more... )

We just played a shuffling game with Dish Network.  We have their America's top 60 package (which really has about 100 channels, though many are foreign language or shopping channels that we don't view).  We pay $39 or $49/month for it.  For the first few years, we never had any premium movie channels, but would occasionally order something on PPV ( Read more... )

So, another Palin lost to a black guy and a woman from New York? It's deja vu all over again.

In January 2008, I received an offer too good to refuse from Dish Network.  If I signed up for Paperless Billing, I would be entitled to receive six Cinemax movie channels for $.01 per year.  Yes, that decimal is in the right place -- one penny per year. I asked three times for confirmation that this was not a limited time offer, and that it would ( Read more... )

Sorry to have been so quiet, but it's been a busy couple of weeks.  I'll try to get up-to-date with a few posts.

• First, I returned to my doctor to have the stitches removed from my nose.  That went well, and the incision really has healed up nicely.  Unfortunately, I'll have to go back at the end of February for another procedure.  The "nothing" ( Read more... )

Just a brief sketch of my current viewing.  I have no plans to add any new one hour programs to my viewing.

Monday, 8:30:  The Big Bang Theory (CBS) - I enjoyed the pilot, and am looking forward to episodes where I haven't seen all the best bits in the commercials.

Monday, 9:00:  Heroes  (NBC) - Absolute Must-See-TV.

Tuesday, 8:00  NCIS (CBS) - I've ( Read more... )

J. Steven York has posted an interesting examination of destiny and prophecy in fiction (both written and dramatized).  I'm still mulling my thoughts on the topic, particularly as he ties the topic to two of my favorite TV shows (the currently mediocre Battlestar Gallactica, and the always rivetting Heroes).  I may post more on the subject, or we ( Read more... )
