Maybe I will again, if you tell me what to watch. What are you going to watch? What do you want to talk about?

Poll Television, Television!

In other news, I'm going to be in Houston from Wednesday to Sunday.

My Saturday plans were to include a sly Netflix gambit of watching a movie and returning it the same day, but the last pick-up was at 2:30, and my mail did not arrive in time! So instead I went to the comic book store and dropped off postcards for the SF Olympians Festival and geeked out about Justice League. Then I visited Jess and Colin and met ( Read more... )

You guys, this month has just been one thing after another. There was the drain fiasco and I got sick and I had to renew my car insurance and I had to renew my renter's insurance and one of my co-workers left and another is being all Chicken Little and work is insane and my Comcast bill just shot up so I have to ask for another discount and now I ( Read more... )

If you have Comcast, you are paying too much! Well, we all know that is generally a given, but Comcast appears to be in a particularly giving mood these days: I initiated a LiveChat to state that I was considering switching to AT&T or Astound and ask whether they had any special offers for existing customers, and "Richard" gave me a sweet deal that ( Read more... )

Um, so, you know all that fame and lack of fortune that helpmeveronica.com brought me? Guess how much it cost?

$66.40.

That's how much I have to pay in overage charges because of all my longass phone calls to raelee discussing and coordinating the project. I have 800 MINUTES on my plan, guys. I never even consider the possibility of going over. But it ( Read more... )

So, the votes are in, and Saved by the Bell is indeed a cultural touchstone for my generation. Ghostwriter also made a surprisingly good showing, and the Nickelodeon shows (with the exception of Roundhouse) were expectedly popular. Sadly, the 1995 cancelled trifecta were the big losers, with Space: Above and Beyond coming in dead last ( Read more... )

I want you to put your feet into Rob Thomas's shoes for a second. You've created a cult hit beloved by thousands (maybe millions!). By sheer luck, it ends up getting renewed, but you know you only get that free pass once. In year two, television Darwinism takes over, and only the watched survive ( Read more... )

So I'm at Borders (or, more accurately, the Seattle's Best Coffee in Borders) reading Rats Saw God when a couple begins hemming and hawing over where to sit. The man vocalizes a plan to get me to move so they can have adjacent seats, and before he can ask me directly, I get up and move. The woman asks if it's okay with me, and the man answers that ( Read more... )
