Grr. I hate it when life decides to slap you around, apparently just for fun. Such as “the attack of household apparels” (I still remember the lunatic toaster that declared me an enemy combatant and instead of providing me with my properly toasted slices of bread decided to fire two lumps of burning coal at me) or “revenge of the door” (that decided to in response to your quite aggressive method of opening it to swing back right at you).
Well, I just got attacked by the liquid soap dispenser. It had somehow became aware of its superpowers overnight, and upon my hand approaching it went all Chuck Norris on me and … well let’s just say I’ve seen squirt guns that didn’t reach as far. So, instead of just ending up with a clean pair of hands, I also ended up with a soap-covered wall.
Oh the joys of life.
On a sidenote, Dollhouse just started its first season on TV. Written by Joss Whedon, creator and head writer of the well-known shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly, it shows some potential but it’s off to a slow start. Never been a fan of neither Buffy nor Angel, but what the heck.

The fifth season of Boston Legal was apparently the last. You bastards! I’ve always enjoyed watching that show. Alan Shore was just magnificent in it, always bashing away in a classic David vs. Goliath fashin — the little man against the big mofos. And seriously, Denny Crane… Denny Crane… Denny Crane… the name doesn’t grow old. Gun crazed and suffering from mad cow he never ceased to amaze.
In all, Boston Legal has just been an awesome journey, and it just sucks that it’s over. Bastards!

For those of you who are interested, here comes the movie reviews for you.
First of all, stay away from Ghost Town. This movie was literally so boring that I was tempted to smother myself with a pillow just to get away from it. The horror. Boring and dull story that probably has a really nice and shiny message hidden somewhere in there. Unfortunately, it must have got lost somewhere between the 138 shades of gray that makes up this movie.
Role Models got a thumb up at least. The idea was good, but it didn’t quite go all the way. Two friends get sentenced to community service and get to be a “big” for a crazy black kid, and a roleplaying fanatic.
On a more positive note, Sex Drive was not too bad. I watched the unrated version (which apparently differs from the original version in more than the fact that there’s an excess of … well, pretty much everything), and this movie is what you get out of putting Road Trip in the blender together with American Pie. Worth watching.
Dead Like Me was quite the disappointment tho. Can’t really say anything much really happened in the movie. The series was great, but this movie had less spark than the series did.

Watched Stardust earlier. Pretty good movie, gotta give it both thumbs up. Right now I’m just waiting for the next episode of 24. The new season, although still not as good as the first few, is not all that bad. Plenty of awesomeness.
Right now I’m off to watch Role Models. Have no idea what the heck it is, but we will se. And no Ciara, it’s not porn. There’s too many movies on my to-watch list, as well as on my to-watch-again list. Gotta start picking them off soon :p

So, Gilbert Grissom has now walked out on CSI. That’s typical. The fact that Lawrence Fishbourne took over his role as the knowallabouteverythingrandomdude makes things a little better, but still. The earlier episodes were still the best, let’s see how this season turns out.
Don’t know if I really like the way the shows have branched out lately. CSI is all about dark bizarre cases that never really makes sense. CSI:New York is brighter, but just as bizarre. A bit more random. The villain is normally some prick who couldn’t resist or did it by accident. And CSI:Miami, well, every mob in Florida seems to want a piece out of Horatio Caine.
Lost has gone nutty lately as well. Don’t really get anything of what’s going on, yet they embed giant cliffhangers in there, something that I like to refer as the “Cellblock H Method”. Everybody who has ever watched the show know what I’m talking about. It wasn’t good. At all. But you had those huge cliffhangers in the end of each episode that you just couldn’t ditch. Lost is doing the same thing now, just spinning in place. Damn those cliffhangers!
On a positive note, Heroes is just getting better and better. The plot is still thickening, and it leaves you thinking a lot about who really is the good guy and the bad guy in the long run. Ace show!
Well, time to get back to Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.
