or...

What if it's Riley? Call John up for a day of fun, then take him while you blow up the family.

it just occurred to me

i'm watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles and it dawns on me: what if Charley's wife is a Machine? At this point it seems extremely unlikely, but that is one of the places that i'd put a Machine, that or kidnap someone close to Charley (lol). Onward, i guess...

it's hard to raid and watch Heroes at the same time

We almost downed Lynx boss in ZA, but i couldn't really keep up with all that was happening in the first hour of Heroes last night. i don't like the concept of distrusting Peter and trusting Mrs. Petrelli instead, it just goes against everything in me lol. What good was saving the Cheerleader one season only for her to be overpowered a year later (does it even translate to a year in their time)? Argh, i don't know when i'll be able to watch it again, tonight is TK.

Heroes premieres tonight...

i am excited, i was upset that last season was so short (give me more David Anders, please! (: ). i'll watch John and Cameron on the net tomorrow night per usual.

On Tuesdays, i think i saw that Fringe isn't going to have a new episode every week, more like every month... Why would they do that??? According to FringeWiki there is a new episode tomorrow, however. NCIS will also be having the premiere for it's sixth season (hard to believe it's been on that long!).

And on Thursday, of course, is the two hour premiere of Grey's... i'm hoping that the pregnancy of that nurse was indeed a false alarm and/or dropped concept that wasn't meant to be released as TPTB claimed.

Anyways, have to get ready for my interview! i might be working at KREX soon.

re: mr. parker

Jonathon LaPaglia is apparently going to have a role on NCIS during it's sixth season, though i'm not sure if it will be a recurring role or if he will become a series regular: on IMDb he is listed as having been in three episodes.

anime and prison... /rofl

i finished Vandread last night, was hoping for more of a gesture from Hibiki, but i guess he and Dita are official now anyway lol. i only have a fourteen more episodes of Inu-Yasha left... and i have yet to see the third and fourth movies. i have read that the series doesn't really come to a satisfying ending and am wondering if the manga is still coming out? Anyways, i'm not going to be focusing on Prison Break, too much catch up for right now, i'll just get the eps on dvd sometime and watch them all back to back as i have missed so much. i just have too much on my plate right now, and i know Sarah's alive (was there ever any doubt?) and her kidnapper has been killed, so that's about all i need to know for now. There's a lot of premieres coming up this week and i'm excited: Heroes and Mr. Parker and McDreamy, oh my. Oh, and Eagle Eye, can hardly wait to go to the theater. (:

last night's viewing experience

i'm not sure i like the new girl. i don't mind that John is starting to take charge, i mean it's not exactly respectful towards his mother, but he is supposed to be the leader of the Resistance (not her), and he is becoming a man. She can't be in charge forever. It's interesting where they're taking Cameron's character, while all of Uncle Derek's scenes seem to be an afterthought. Why is he tagging along exactly? The information from the future is an interesting spin, as is the Machines' attempts to directly influence the war from the future. i'm surprised that Charley and his wife left town. Guess i'll have to wait and see what comes next.

more from the ptr

i can't believe i forgot to go to (Old) Dalaran! The crater that was left behind is very interesting.











And last but not least, a little evidence of some world pvp that i have never experienced. Just goes to show that those achievements are going to liven things up a little.

Wrath of the Lich King

Well i don't usually talk about gaming too much, but i know that some of the readers of my main blog will be totally uninterested in this piece of news, so i'm posting it here: WotLK will be releasing on November 13th. Last night i downloaded the Public Test Realm and today i took some screenshots in anticipation of patch 3.0.

First off i played with my crab's talent trees and put her into combat for a couple of minutes. Then i tamed a Royal Terromoth (not an easy proposition when rogues are ganking you). There is a lot of activity on the pvp ptr, which is a bit exciting for me as i frequent a fairly low-pop server. So after taming Periwinkle i headed off to see my favorite character in the game: the Lady Sylvanas. She finally looks like a high elf!!!



Heading out of UC the first thing you notice (besides all the people who are dueling) is the new tower.





On my server everyone duels outside Org. You can get on the new zep and it does fly off, but once it gets to where the load screen would pop up you are ported to the courtyard with the broken statue, back outside of UC.

Time to head for Org, i suppose. Oh, did you notice how i'm mounted on the zep? You can do that now, but still get dismounted while climbing the tower, which is good because otherwise you're likely to be running so fast that you'll fall off.



In Org i was perplexed. i couldn't figure out where the zep to nr was. It wasn't on the original zep tower as i had anticipated. i thought maybe the Skytower, but that wasn't it either. While i was in Org i visited the barber for the first time (but didn't partake in his wares) and saw my first working training dummies.



Heading back out of Org i discovered a new signpost pointing to the new zep tower. It's to the right as you come out of the city, behind where the Brewfest is being set up and Rocktusk Farm.





Flying back to UC i discovered the return of the zep vending machines.



The other areas i wanted to visit were the Eastern Plaguelands and Caverns of Time. The map has changed for epl but you cannot see the Ebon Hold hanging over Light's Hope Chapel just yet. Naxx is missing from the skyline above Strat, and i couldn't find it's entrance (though i've only used it a couple of times, so maybe i wasn't looking in quite the right place).



Back in Shattrath i visited A'dal and discovered that the portal to the Isle of Quel'danas has gone missing. (Edit: this is because there hadn't been enough dailies done on the Isle to get to that stage of the Shattered Sun Offensive, there is now a portal in Shatt on the PTR). This little alcove was frequently stormed by people who wanted to do dailies (probably wanting to do dailies to pay for the inscription items that were in the ah for 700g, which is ridiculous because those people can't keep the gold when Wrath goes live).



A quick port to the Caverns of Time later and i was standing before the entrance to Old Strat.





The heroic mode graphic has changed subtly, and as you can see i can't enter the instance until i ding 75. ):

Anyways, i might mess around with the new hunter talents soon (i'm specced survival now and haven't even used Explosive Shot yet) and play around with my two newest pets. My crab looks more awesome than i was anticipating, and i can't wait to intercept some rogues and pin them long enough to get at range. Deterrence isn't working as well as i'd like yet, but i'll be playing around with it some more, too. As you can probably see, i'm soooo excited about the expansion. On Monday my guild is scheduled to storm Naxx, i can hardly wait.

musings on Vandread

Okay, i enjoy this anime. i started watching it at a time where i was dealing with some relationship issues and it just seemed to fit. It's over the top, and the characters can be annoying ignorant, but overall i like it for a little rest and relaxation. Overall i can only think of one thing about the show that really bothers me besides Bart's hair (i was sooo glad when he shaved it): the insinuation that women have to be told how to have a baby. There have been two episodes with a birth and both times the Captain had to save the day and tell the laboring mother what to do. As a believer in homebirths (especially unassisted ones), this totally goes against my grain. i didn't realize that Japan is as medically backwards when it comes to labor and delivery as most doctors are here in the U.S.

the Fringe Pilot

i just got finished watching the Pilot for Fringe, and all i can say is wow, just wow. The beginning was kind of gory and gross out, and i had to admit that i was thinking not another plane, but the show is very good. It's darker than Lost, and the entire time i wasn't sure who to trust really (i'm still not sure), but i wasn't expecting the twist at the end. The humor was extremely well done and the FBI bits seemed fair and balanced (lol): i'm looking forward to seeing more.

Oh it's just a nosebleed! Honest it is, it will stop in a couple of days.

...

Why can't i fall asleep?

hmmm

Harry Potter Personality Quiz by Pirate Monkeys Inc.

interesting (discusting) thought

If, as on that famed Martha Stewart episode of South Park, i vomit poop out of my mouth as a result of sitting on/injesting turkeys through my bum, does that mean my period will also come out my nose?

That's just gross.

re: Terminator 4 and the tv show...

i meant to mention this last night, as it has been on my mind ever since the first episode of the Sarah Connor Chronicles... How does the show fit into the timeline as far as the movies? Does John somehow travel back in time at some point in the show's future, or are the events in Terminator 3 (Rise of the Machines) completely erased? In other words, will Judgment Day happen on the show the same way it happened in the movie, and how does that relate to T4? Because as Schwarzenegger's terminator pointed out in T3: "You only postponed it. Judgment Day is inevitable." As i said, i've been meaning to address this for a while. i would really like to go back and watch the first season again, but unfortunately right now i really just do not have the time. i have to be back in class in half an hour...

eeeeeeeee

That's the sound of me squealing because i just saw the preview for Terminator Salvation. Guess who's playing John Connor?!? Christian Bale! And guess who's playing Kate Connor?!? Bryce Dallas Howard! i didn't know that production had come this far, i certainly had no idea that the teaser had been out since July.

In other related news, i missed the season premiere of the Sarah Connor Chronicles today. First it slipped my mind, and then when i remembered i thought it was okay, cuz it's at eight, right? Wrong: it's at seven, and Prison Break was on its third episode of the season. i have some catching up to do. i hope FOX updates its website quickly.
