It’s Thursday, and I’m going to go ahead and talk about a show that was on, on Monday. I sure do hope these lightning fast updates keep up!

Anyway, you guys watch Heroes? Man, that’s a great show. I kind of wish I could not watch it all season, just so I could watch all the episodes at the same time. Can’t wait till the next one. Great show.

Speaking of TV, the new HD TiVo is soooooo cool. When it’s recording something, there is an LCD screen on the front of the unit that displays the name of what you’re recording. So when it’s recording something on tuner #2, and you’re watching tuner #1, you can just look on the front of the unit to see what’s going on. That’s so fresh. The only problem is it looks like one of my cable cards is bad. I have WOW coming out next Tuesday to swap out the card.

[warning, rant about to begin] You know, that’s the one bummer about WOW. They don’t have these locations around like Comcast does, where you can swap out your equipment yourself. You have to set up an appointment and get a tech to come out. That’s fucking dumb. They had an appointment on Friday, but someone needed to be home all day. So I would have had to take a day off just to get my cable fixed, exactly one week after I took a half day off to meet them to get my cable cards in the first place. I would love to just run to the corner, drop off the bad card, and pick up the good one. None of their techs know how to install these things in a TiVo anyway, so I have to do it. It’s fucking dumb that I can’t just go pick up what I need.[/end rant]

Anyone been watching American Idol this season? Last season was the first season that Kel and I watched the whole thing. We always stopped after the idiots were done trying out. As I’ve posted in the past, I think we did it correctly, right from the get-go. Once they get to Hollywood the show pretty much blows. However, before they go to Hollywood, and they get all the rejects trying out, it’s usually pretty damn entertaining.

Usually

After last nights episode, we might be done watching it alltogether. What a peice of crap that episode was. They showed like 5 people trying out, then 1.5 hours of those people bitching, complaining and crying while trying to convice the judges that they deserve to make it, or at least get another try. I couldn’t watch half the shit. Thank God we watched it on TiVo or I wouldn’t have made it. We fast forwarded through 80% of the show.

For you wanna be American Idol types, let me explain to you how it goes.
You sing
If you’re good enough, you make it through to the next round.
However, if you suck, and most of you do in fact suck, they tell you no, and you leave the room and go cry in a bathroom somewhere by yourself. Don’t completely loose your mind on national television. You already made an idiot out of yourself singing like shit on TV, try to save some damn dignity and at least take your rejection like a soldier, and not some grovelling fucking moron. Seriously though, how many times has a sniveling idiot begged the judges to let them through, and it’s worked?

That’s right, zero. One more show like last night, and I’m writing off that peice of shit. It was entertaining when we saw a lot of jackasses singing and dancing around like fools, but the show has found a way to fuck that up.
