High Five
Five things while I continue my serach across American to find anyone who admits having paid money to see "The Guardian"...
- I decided to DVR “Heroes” at the beginning of the Fall season due to the fact that, well, it’s a superhero show, and me likey some superheroes. Didn’t think I’d actually like it, but I gave it a whirl. Figured it’s be a light and frivolous show. Didn’t at all expect to be completely grossed out and/or horrified four times an episode. Dear Lord in Heaven. For the ending of this week’s episode alone I give the show….well, I don’t know if “props” is the right word, but man…I need to buy the series creator a beer. From a safe distance. The dude’s pretty sick. (And yes, I’m hooked. I wanna adopt Hiro. And yes, that’s creepy, but you’re talking to a 30-year old who toggled between “Heroes” and “WWE RAW” after playing “X-Men Legends” for an hour on his Playstation 2. Honestly, what did you expect?)
- If you’ve been waiting for the “HA HA, Yankess SUCK” entry from me…well, keep waiting. Don’t have it in me. I’m perfectly happy with them not being in the playoffs, but the baseball season died for me when this team that supposedly sucks so bad beat the holy hell out of hometown team two months ago. There are pyrrhic victories, and then there’s this. Oh, and go Tigers, not only because they beat the Yanks, but also because Leyland kissed that dude’s hat after the win. One of the best moments of the baseball year, topped only by that Wily Mo Pena homer where I thought for a second he was literally going to kill someone with his fly ball he launched just over the Green Monster. (And no, Mr. “Heroes” creator, please don’t add that as a plot point. I’ve already seen the cheerleader mangled 18 ways ‘til Tuesday…please don’t collapse her face during Sweeps with a line drive.)
- I can’t decide if I really like Snow Patrol’s new single “Chasing Cars”, or if it really makes me want to commit a hate crime. I’ll give it a few more listens. Local readers, be sure to check the Globe, Herald, and Metro to see if any dead bodies turn up in the next week. Then, we’ll all have our answer.
- The songlist for “Guitar Hero 2” came out today. Wolfmother’s “Woman’? Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”? Allman Brothers’ “Jessica”? “Sweet Child O’ Mine”? “Freebird”? Holy sh%t. Well, there goes my winter. See you all when the rivers thaw. (And yes, this is the game where you play along to the songs with a plastic guitar hooked up to your Playstation. Stop looking at me that way. It’s very, very cool, and I do an incredibly cool little dance when playing the original “Guitar Hero” in my Man Room. So like, back off.)
- Did the Pentagon start a file on everyone associated with “Battlestar: Galactica” after the Season 3 premiere? Wouldn’t surprise me. Wow, just…wow. If you saw it, you know what I’m talking about. And if you don’t watch, well, you need to do so. About as much as Butters needed to start playing “World of Warcraft” on this past week’s episode of “South Park”.
