Sprint: Crime Deterrent »

The best commercial on TV is the Sprint commercial where the two guys are talking about their phones in the locker room. They are dressed preppy casual and seem like nice enough guys, but then they start comparing the conveniences their phones can provide. The smaller guy says his is also a crime deterrent. Without […]

Who Wants to Be a Superhero? Ep. 5 »

Before starting the summary, I want to apologize to friend NNK for mistakenly using Fat Momma as an example of a person with “not as good” a message. Stupid things that I don’t remotely mean come out of my mouth sometimes. If you read any of my previous Hero posts, you’ll see I support her […]

30 Days: Pro-Choice/Pro-Life »

I used to live in the black-and-white, preteenagery, simplistic “As a former fetus, I oppose abortion” world of the “pro-lifers.” I’ve seen all this shit before: The scare tactics (ripped-apart fetus pictures), narrow-mindedness (”So, selling abortions is what you do?”), and total lack of solutions (Seriously, you discourage contraception and have no solution for what […]

The 4400: Ep. 12 »

Only one more episode to go before the season ends. Is Jordan is the savior or the antisavior? What IS the catastrophe and who is really the one perpetrating it? Will Isabelle die? By Tom’s hand or Richard’s hand? Will Shawn’s future-predicting cigar be right??
Jordan’s message: “The war for the future will be […]

Who Wants to Be a Superhero? Ep. 4 »

Yeesh. Hasn’t been QUITE a week since this ep.
We open with the heroes righting wrongs on the streets of LA: jaywalking, littering, illegal parking, the underage viewing of bra displays… Creature even feeds and clothes the poor, while Major Victory almost breaks a lady’s neck by having her walk over his cape.
When the heroes […]

30 Days: New Age »

Sorry this is written so blowfully. I haven’t had much time to post this week, but I gotta do my duty and get this out there!
In this episode, Tom, a 31-yr-old salesman, has serious anger-management issues. He is seeking new ways to control his temper and just peace out in his life. He is paired […]

The 4400 Ep. 3.11 »

I can’t believe I waited almost a whole week to post a 4400 summary! Argh!
Diana’s story: Maia’s visions reveal Diana and her sister’s boyfriend Ben will marry. Diana refuses to betray April, but suddenly Ben shows up to show off his photos of Italy. (Diana also used to be into photography and travel to Italy.) […]

Who Wants to Be a Superhero? Ep. 3 »

The winner might get a Sci Fi original movie too??? COOOOOL!!
Stuff that was funny last episode I forgot to mention last time:

Major Victory’s comment upon getting his new costume: “Mr. Shiny Pants!”
The two chick costumers drag Iron Enforcer into their white windowless van and it starts a rockin’. EWWWW

The show opens with Feedback […]

30 Days: Atheist »

This episode was quite good. Brenda, an atheist married mother of two, lives with a fundamentalist Christian family for 30 days. She attends church and Bible studies with them. Without the usually more detailed summary: The Christian woman, Tracy, is enlightened MUCH more than her husband Michael. He is generally closed off and angry; no […]

On the Moon? Here’s the product for you! »

B and I have always made fun of the lengths to which infomercials will difficultize (yeah, I invented that word) common daily actions (like opening milk cartons and reading a book in bed) to get you to buy their product, which suddenly make doing that easy thing sooo much easier. But we finally saw one […]
