Viewing Habits

I don't watch TV as much as I once did back in the day. I also have a backlog of DVDs that I haven't had a chance to watch yet, but I'll settle for just talking about what I watch. I've really gotten on a big L&O kick this past year, catching the classic series on TNT, and tuning into SVU every now and then on USA. Of the current season, I tend to only watch them when I catch them. I did manage to catch a rerun from this seasons SVU that stars a girl I know from class. =) I also watch the CSI's, Miami, NY, the original all are great shows and ocassionally I catch the local rerun of CSI on Saturday or Sunday NIght.

I didn't really get to see a lot this season, I did manage to stay current with Smallville, and I'm still catching up on Enterprise (by far the best season to date). It's a shame Enterprise is getting cancelled, it's funny, I didn't make an effort to really watch the show till I heard it was leaving and I wanted it to stay. And I watched 24, another great season of Jack Bauer, I can't wait to see what they do next year. I must say, Driscoll leaving was the best departure, Dessler/Tony was a big upgrade. That's about all I saw this season, I caught a few eps of ER (I'm liking the show again), some of Apprentice (surprisingly entertaining) & of the Office (has potential, same with Jake in Progress). I saw some of Blind Justice, but it's sad to hear it's not coming back.. Sounds like it had a premise that wouldn't last long honestly. Poor Ron Eldard, I like that actor. I do want to catch up on Desperate Housewives (only saw the first 2 eps) & Grey's Anatomy (haven't seen any).

I only watch CN on the weekends, usually just to see the premieres on Toonami or Adult Swim. I like American Dad and Family Guy, although I have to make an effort to see the new episodes. I watch Spike TV sometimes on Monday when RAW is on, I tend to browse the cable channels plenty to find the right show. I like some of the shows on G4, Attack of the Show is entertaining, Judgment Day is a good review format, X-play is still ok but really losing the luster it had on Tech Tv, Icons has some great episodes, Filter has some good lists ocassionally & G4tv is fun to watch.

I think that covers most of what I watch besides just random shows I can't think of at the moment. Writing it all out it seems like a lot, but honestly it feels like I barely watch Tv.

Crunch Time

I have to say for all the times for me to come down with being sick, this would probably be one of the worst times. It started Sunday when my throat became sore, it was tough to swallow, and I had a water bottle besides me at all times. The throat calmed a bit today, but of course now my head felt like it was exploding. Unfortunately I couldn't just lay in bed, I had things to get done and went about my day. I got back my Stats test, which I must say I did very well on =D. Then I went to Poly Sci, where I proceeded to do poorly on the quiz, I think I ended up reading the wrong chapter of what I did get a chance to read, as a lot of the questions seemed really foreign to me. And then I struggled through Mass Comm, turning in my paper at the end of class, hopefully I'll get a C on it.

Throughout the whole morning my head was pounding, and I could barely talk with how my throat was, I kept going in and out during the classes, at times falling asleep and not being casual about it. The day couldn't end fast enough for me. What sucks even more about this was I was planning on seeing Revenge of the Sith today with my dad since he had taken the day off, but once I got home and had some lunch, I went right to my bed and passed out for a good 2-3 hours, postponing the movie for another day.

As I'm writing this I feel a bit better but I know I have a draft due for class wednesday, so I have to get on that asap. If I feel up to it, I might go to a morning showing of Sith tomorrow, or get my haircut. The middle of the week is usually the time when I'm busiest the most, especially with my hopes to run in to someone on wednesday that I need to talk to. I can barely function on the computer, so the fact I was able to write this post is saying a lot. I did see the season finale of 24 today, and it was a great end to a great season. I look forward to seeing what Jack is doing next season, too bad it's not till next January.

My Online activity

With starting back up on this blog, I figured it would be a good time to say what things I'm doing online.

Avatar Republic, is the place to find all the avatars I use, 100x100 since that seems to be the most common dimensions. It's updated pretty frequently, with a nice update comment I've added in the past month to the front page of the site. I may make slightly larger versions ocassionally since a board I go to has larger dimensions for avatars.

That's about it, besides this place. Over at AA-T, there seems to be a real lack of organization in putting together content, so I've been reluctant to really do news/reviews. If there is a renewed effort, I may reconsider, but until then I'll be taking a loose stance with that board.

Right now is crunch time with my classes, so I won't be doing much work creatively speaking. I have an idea for a Bat Fic, and I'll see about exploring that when I get more free time this summer. It's still up in the air whether I'll be able to go to any cons this summer, I plan to, it's just up for things to fall in the right place.

I do have an urge to contribute at some site, I just haven't found the right opportunity. Untill that moment, this blog will be pretty much the only place to find my views on things, my life commentary and who i'm flirting with. Hopefully I get some readers/people who care to read (and maybe comment ^_~).

Avoiding Cancellation yet again!

That's right, I'm back to blogspot after a 4 month absence. Don't worry you didn't miss much, my friend Brian says I move around too much.. I think I probably have. Where I last left you, I had moved on to livejournal, where I ended up changing from the address listed below due to a level of stagnancy that had developed. I still ended up only really posting once or twice on my new name: http://www.livejournal.com/users/paq_man. Even though I'm returning to blogspot, I'll still be using that name to comment on other people's livejournals if I ever get around to do it (unless I get another name change attack which might happen). I'll also bring over the few meaningful posts that I made while I was over there.

There are a lot of things happening right now involving me, and it'll be interesting to see how things develop, but I look forward to devulging some of it here, not to mention any opinions, rants, reviews that I might have. Stay tuned.
