There, cleaned house a bit.
Straightened up the blog a little bit, should get less spam now also. Don't really have anything important to say(shocker...) but I figure I should at least push the last old post out of the way so it's all recent stuff on the main page.
I guess while I am typing this, I'll comment on one of the silliest, yet oddly captivating, gameshows that I've ever seen. NBC has a new gameshow called Deal or No Deal, pretty simple title and that fits the "thinking" that is involved in the show. You pick a briefcase out of 26, each having a dollar value between 1 penny and 1 million dollars, they are set amounts(though randomized each contestant) so they have a list to cross out dollar values as they are revealed. They keep revealing the amounts in the remaining cases and as the odds go up or down that the player's case will have a high dollar amount in it, they offer him or her money to "Sell" them the case, they do this "deal or no deal" thing every few cases. Requires no thought or skill, 100% luck basically. Silly show, yet for some asinine reason I watched a whole episode tonight. I'm ashamed to admit that and I feel as though the process has cost me some braincells(not that I have any to spare) but I just couldn't change the channel! I can't imagine watching more than a couple episodes of it before you get tired of Howie Mandel saying the same things each time or the people relying on their family(which makes no sense since it's all random)for support, calling out numbers to reveal...at least they didn't give people a lifeline to call..."Uh...go for 22 I guess?"

So says the woman who tivo's That 70's Show.....not an awful show, but it's not Emmy-caliber...but I guess me teasing you over that is "being mean" to you, wah wah wah...
But on a related note, I was able to stave off the gameshow for the rest of the week and have now finally made it past the danger zone, it was only on this week. Too bad everything is in reruns now, no good television to actually discuss:( Good stuff starts soon, with 24 and Battlestar Galactica starting up in a few weeks, yay!
