Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah or have a nice weekend; whatever flavour you fancy, dear reader. You may have noticed a distinct lack of posting of late,  I've got a lot of recordings that need watching! I'll tell you in the new year. Have a safe one.

Where was I?

I was going on about mid-season stuff that’d already ended during my absence. I’ll continue with 2 SyFy favourites – Eureka and Warehouse 13.

Eureka ended it’s fourth season in September under a very dark cloud, with most fans Knowing that the next season, starting with a December, Christmassy, episode, and concluding in the new year, will be it’s last. The general reaction is of utter dismay, though as the network that failed to pickup Firefly, no-one’s terribly surprised, just saddened. It’s had it’s scheduling mucked about with so much even TiVo’s don’t know when it’s on. I’ve found reactions to Eureka are a little like Marmite – you either love it or hate it. Some folks just don’t dig a town full of geniuses, inventing stuff and getting up to all sorts of mischief. Others, including myself, love it. The upcoming season 5 premiere on Dec 6th sees the entire town transformed into animated versions of themselves. Watch this preview. .

 

Warehouse 13 ended it’s third season in October, and returns for it’s  “holiday special” on December 6th.

Sidebar: Christmas is A holiday, not THE holiday – so it’s a Christmas special, not a holiday special. OK, I’ just had to get that off my chest. The Christmas special sees the return of an old enemy, watch the preview.

 

Looks like a great episode to whet your appetite for season four, all I know so far is that 13 episodes have been ordered for 2012.

It’s a shame they’ve decided to shit-can Eureka – I really enjoyed the crossovers between these 2 shows. Well done SyFy

There are bound to be loads of show’s I’ve neglected to mention – a combination of pain meds and MS causes me to forget things very easily, so don’t be surprised if I bring the subject up again. I’m planning another entry soon – either tonight or tomorrow detailing some of the new stuff I’ve been watching. About time, eh?

TTFN.

Face-Off?

Instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour, last night/this morning I wrestled with Blogger and my new template, trying to change the default fonts. There’s still one – the date – which is using Arial/Helvetica – but it took so long getting the rest done, by the time I’d learned enough CSS to realise what I was doing wrong, I was too tired to fix it .

So I now know the name of the offending class – just need to change it’s properties, but adding custom CSS doesn’t work, looks like I have to actually edit the template directly.

OK, enough about the facelift – gonna write a lot of rubbish about telly stuff in an hour or so – just watching Life’s Too Short from Thursday night on BBC – very funny stuff.

My Cat’s a Dog

I was planning a post on my usual televisual nonsense this weekend; there’s always Sunday. Meanwhile I thought I’d properly introduce Bob.

My old cat died in August. Lily was 14 and was sorely missed by all. So much so we decided, as one, that a new cat was to be sourced as soon as possible – days later Bob entered our lives.

It’s become clear over the few months we’ve had him that he’s completely bonkers. His main aim in life is to eat the hamster, Boris (Natasha had to be renamed for, er… obvious reasons :P)

The above pic was taken on the first day Bob spent with us :)

One of his favourite games is to play fetch. Seriously. I’d video it but if I’m in the room I’m the one he brings the toy back to, regardless of who throws it. Pisses Sarah off no end but then again, I feed him, change his shit-box, etc.

Bob has to be kept out of the bathroom for several reasons. Firstly, he can unravel a toilet roll faster than the Andrex puppy. Secondly, he chews toothbrushes. Thirdly, he steals cotton buds, 20-30 at a time, strips them of cotton – one assumes he eats it as I’ve never found any. Finally, and this is the most recent development, he drinks from the toilet. He follows me everywhere. Wakes me up by licking my eyes and ears, watches me avidly when I’m doing bathroom things. The other morning after I’d flushed, I’d left the seat up (yeah, yeah) and was brushing my teeth when I turned and saw Bob straddling the toilet bowl. My first thought was that he was going to use the toilet. I was calculating how much I’d save on kitty litter already. Alas, no. I then saw him delicately bow his head down into the bowl to reach the water in the bottom. I quickly grabbed him before he could fall in – he’s to small to reach the water – it was a disaster waiting to happen. I checked his bowls; he had no food but plenty of water. Later that day he managed to get in the bathroom and succeeded in reaching the water by putting his paws inside the bowl. Really need to work on putting the seat down AND closing the door.

So, my kitten plays fetch and drinks from the toilet – hence the title. He’s also an indoor cat. I like the fact we now have tits and sparrows in the garden, something we never had when Lily was around – even though she was about 7 years past her hunting prime. I’m not keen on having a shit-box in the hall, but at least my kitty is safe, the birdies are safe, and he’s not off making mini-Bobs since he still got his nads; they’re coming off next month, poor bugger :)

That’ll do for now. Bob’s been battering the shit out of my arm whilst typing this – luckily it’s my left so I can’t feel it :P

Now Playing: Sara Bareilles - iTunes Live from SoHo - Breathe Again (Live)

Let Me Entertain You?

I spent hours installing dozens of free apps and games on my iPod in order to earn free chips to buy new armour in Buddy Rush – so much so that I ran down the battery and didn’t get a chance to play with my new armour, so I’ll bore my reader with more telly musings whilst it charges.
I previously touched on a couple of the shows that aired during my absence. I’ll continue, I think, with Combat Hospital. 13 episode first season broadcast on Global which I think is Canadia (little maple leaf on the parental rating box in the top left gives it away). It was also broadcast by ABC but they skipped episode 11. So far no word on whether there will be a season 2 – it is, as they say, on the bubble, which is a shame as I enjoyed the show. The show is about a Role 3 military hospital in Kandahar and is set in 2006. The hospital is staffed by ranks from many of the allied forces fighting in Afghanistan, but primarily USA, Canada, UK and Australia (main cast). In the first episode we join newcomers Bobby Trang (Terry Chen) and Rebecca Gordon (Michelle Borth) as they join the team and find their way around. It’s most definitely not a 21st century M*A*S*H, but I don’t think it’s trying to be. The show has faced a lot of criticism from the US media, but from what I’ve seen on TV guide sites such as TVRage.com and TV.com viewers generally like the show, rating it 7.2/10 and 8/10 respectively. However, viewer appeal alone is not enough to save a show – Jericho was adored by the interwebs – but it wasn’t enough to save it.
Just a quick mention for Breaking Bad which has just finished it’s 4th and final season. I’ve only discovered the show this year and am partway through the second season – so no spoiling me on that plx!
In March this year Southland finished it’s third season, and it will be returning to TNT in January 2012 for a fourth. I find Southland to be very gritty and raw; I’m not familiar with the inner workings of LA cops, so I can’t vouch for their authenticity, but it is definitely good telly!

OK – gonna end this for now – need to eat, and my iPod is charged – time to play Buddy Rush

Christmas Episode - Haven-This December

Christmas Episode - Haven-This December: Haven is wrapping up for the season, but an all-new Christmas episode will be unwrapped this December.

Just saw this - wonder where this fits in with the showdown on the Cape Rouge and whether Nathan is the tattooed man that brings about Duke's Downfall? If they're in Chronological order, then obviously not. This also ruins 6 months of semi-suspense. Mind you, it is Haven - it could be someone's dream/trouble. Also it is SyFy - maybe they'll rope in WH13 and Eureka for a mega mindf**k crossover episode? :P

Back, for good?

I’m bored. Can’t play World of Warcraft due to an argument with a flight of stairs (I lost) on top of which I have a cold the week after my GP performed a miracle and managed to enable me to experience sensation in my left arm; unfortunately the sensation was intense agony, the method was a flu jab.
I usually babble about current telly stuff and other nonsense, and I will, but I’ve missed babbling about a good many shows I enjoy as they have been and gone for this year – in particular Haven. Oh how I love thee, Haven. Or is it just Emily? No, It’s the show as well. The season one cliff-hanger was a doozy, two Audrey Parkers? ZOMG? How!!!111 Season two’s cliff-hanger is less so – Duke & Nathan fighting on boat, camera  cuts to boat exterior, gun goes off! Oh noes!! Who is dedded!! Well, neither IMO – they’re both main cast & important to the story – killing either would be a mistake. Besides a wild shot inside a metal hulled ship would be lethal for both, but they never let physics stand in the way of a good story on th’telly.
Another SyFy show that’s been and gone whilst I was away was newcomer Alphas. Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the show, I had my doubts as to whether it would be picked up for another season, especially after an eleven episode first season, but it would appear that SyFy have more confidence than I and have picked it up for a second season. Pictured to the right is Afghan-born Azita Ghanizada who plays Rachel Pirzad, one of the two major reasons for watching Alphas; the other being Laura Mennell, who plays Nina Theroux. There’s some blokes in it too supporting them, of course. If you’ve not seen Alphas, think Heroes, but more believable, and also done on the cheap. That’s not fair. It doesn’t look cheap, it’s nowhere near as far fetched as Heroes was – and usually each of the Alphas has to pay a price for using their gift. For example, Rachel can enhance one of her senses by an incredible amount, at the expense of her other senses, which leaves her vulnerable – something you’d think they’d take into consideration before utilizing her, but then that wouldn’t be good telly would it?
Another show I really enjoy came back in July, Rizzoli & Isles. It took an early break in September but returns to complete it’s second season run in late November – so far 15 episodes are on order so there are another 5 to watch. I was introduced to the show via a friend just after the first season started. I’ve since read quite a few Tess Gerritsen novels on my Kindle – very enjoyable books, but there’s something about the on-screen chemistry between Angie Harmon & Sasha Alexander that goes beyond any dark or dry humour in the novels. As well as being a fan of the show, an avid read of the books, and an admirer of beautiful women, I have to declare an additional bias here: I am still mourning the sudden death of Caitlin Todd, so frequent doses of Sasha Alexander in any show helps to soothe the loss.
Since I’ve been droning on for well over 500 words, to avoid TL:DR I’ll finish this post. I’ve got lots more boring telly stuff to bore you with in future posts – but even I’m getting fed up of my own voice (in my mind!).

Possible updates coming soon, but not from an iPod as this is cool but taking ages!!!

Meanwhile you may stare at the beauty that is Bob :-)

Another gap :)

Hello again internetz

Been busy watching stuff on the tellybox and I’ve also been sucked back in to World of Warcraft so this poor blog has suffered. I apologise to my readers, both of you.

Also had to bugger about with my PC – not easy with one hand! Firstly, the unbranded RAM that came with my motherboard/CPU bundle failed – had to buy more (8gb ftw!) then my HDD started with the SMART errors – I did the sensible thing – disabled SMART monitoring. Finally got it all backed up on a eSATA device and installed a SSD.

Let me say this – SSD is the way forward. Windows 7 in 30 seconds from cold, about 15 or so is the BIOS detecting stuff. The only drawback is price – being a poor disabled cripple on benefits, there’s no way I could afford a decent sized one – I had to opt for a tiny one – big enough to hold Windows, Office, Kaspersky and my browser, Chrome – anything that gives the option to customise install goes on my D drive. I’d love to run WoW off a SSD, man that would fly!

All this results in my PC now having a Windows Experience Index of 7.4 – quite a jump from 5.9 prior to the SSD. I also added up my total storage – internal and external – 6TB. Blimey! That’s a hell of a lot of porn TV episodes and music

Speaking of TV, I seem to be enjoying the old favourites more than the new stuff. Bones, CSI (all), Criminal Minds, Fringe, House & Supernatural.

Fox’s Lone Star was binned after TWO episodes, so another of my favourites, Lie To Me, was bumped to fill it’s gaping hole. This makes me happy, as Lie To Me has been used as mid-season and hiatus filler for the last 2 seasons, hopefully the increased exposure will increase it’s popularity and hence it’s longevity.

On the UK scene, Sky broke with tradition and made something worth watching – Thorne, based on Mark Billingham’s books. So far his first 2 books have been adapted – 3 episodes each. as of August this year, there’s another 7 books to cover – I do hope Sky continues with them and does as good a job. The first 3 – Sleepyhead, also starred Natascha McElhone, of Californication fame. The director was Stephen Hopkins, who directed Californication (as well as 24 and other stuff) – coinkydink?

Also on the UK scene, the 9th series of BBC’s Spooks recently finished – I recorded them all and had a Spooks day – yes, I really am that sad. One refreshing trait of Spooks is their bloodthirsty treatment of leading characters – only 2 remain from the first series – the majority being killed off in one way or another – though a few have left the service.

One of the best things I’ve seen on TV has got to be Fry & Laurie Reunited on GOLD the other night. Granted I am a fan of them, and have fond memories of watching the series “A Bit of Fry & Laurie” in the 90’s, but it was well made, and the only fault was too many clips not enough banter. Also they didn’t include 2 of my my favourite sketches – Hugh singing Hey Jude in a high pitched helium like voice, and the shoe shop/brothels sketch. Apparently Hugh’s role in House has made him a household name in the US – Stephen less so – though he did/does have a recurring role on Bones, and starred in the fantastic film Wilde. I think, though, that Stephen’s fame is firmly rooted in Britain – I don’t think the kind of Americans that mass media is aimed at are intelligent enough to “get” his humour. I’m not saying all Americans are thick – not at all, but the main demographics are watching Idol and other reality shite every week – they are the thick ones

OK – enough rambling – my migraine is getting worse – ttfn.

Outsourced

Just a quickie for now – I’m off to be poked and prodded by some kid in a white coat who claims to be a doctor.

Just watched a new comedy called Outsourced – it was fantastic – just how I imagine the Virgin Media helpdesk

Having worked in a call centre, it appears they are the same the world over. Anyhoo, if you can, watch it. I found a link http://hotfile.com/dl/71345235/6755fec/outsourced.101.hdtv-lol.avi.html not where I get my viewing fodder from, but it’s the same release.

Let me know what you think. The only problem I foresee is they may run out of jokes – there’s only so many times you can joke about hot food burning your ring etc. before it gets tired, but we’ll see.

Michael’s Telly Blog

Gonna rename “Dude …?” to “Michael’s Telly Blog” or maybe “Bored Shitless” – I bet you can do votes with this thing …. bugger it – cba.

So, new seasons and new series are upon us, and about time too! Luckily we’ve had SyFy keeping us sane with such staples as Eureka (off till December now, poo) and Warehouse 13 (Eddie and Joanne get a load of stick, but Scags saves it for me, get my geek on, etc.) and not forgetting newcomer, Haven. Gotta say, I really love Haven, which usually means it’ll get canned, so I hate it, hate it, hate it!

 

This week kicked off with a new season of House. Was an odd episode, but given the last episode, it was either going to be Bobby stepping out of the shower, or a whole season examining a relationship. Guess the writers are too young to remember what a great get out of jail card Dallas offered I’ll leave Two and a Half Men alone – I only download it for my son… honest!

Just caught a few new series’ though – Hawaii Five-O was kinda fun, kinda silly, but at least they managed to avoid Dog the Bounty Hunter whilst shooting it so, they did OK. The Event, looks good, kinda weird, but we like weird so, we’ll wait and see. Chase was great – nice to see Kelli Giddish again – hope making Past Life didn’t totally screw her career up – I liked it, but no-one else AT ALL did, so ….? Lone Star looks good too – be nice to see how it develops. Also caught the pilot of a show called Terriers – started earlier this month, so I’ll need to check for any other episodes – was quite funny, not too over the top – lots of clichés though, ex-cop & ex-alcoholic, immature men, ex-wife. Open verdict till I see more. Not big on US comedy shows, as the phrase itself seems to be an oxymoron, but there have been notable exceptions. Mike and Molly may well be one of them – though King of Queens was thought to have consumed every fat joke possible, some have been resurrected, possibly recycled, possibly via a pooper-scooper. Not that bad really, better than most – so I’ll run with it, see how it pans out.

I’ve not looked at the schedules for any more upcoming new series, it’s on my to-do list, but two shows returned tonight and I’m about to watch them – NCIS and NCIS:Los Angeles – so I’ll sign off now, and report later – maybe I’ll have read the upcoming schedule by then too…. or not.

Bieber Bottled!

I just found this and was highly amused. I don’t actually know who this kid is but my son hates him, so that’s enough for me

Loving the sound effects! Boom! Headshot!

Music Go Music – Light of Love (again)

In case you didn’t see it last time I posted, watch this! It’s brilliant!

Music Go Music "Light of Love" from Music Go Music on Vimeo.

Love it! Love it! Love it!

I’m gonna share this again, so you’ll be humming all the time like me

Me? Quiet? Nah!

OK, I admit, I've been rather quiet of late. Reason is, not much happens when you're stuck at home 99% of the time with bugger all to do. I could blog five times a day on what the cat is up to, but I would never put anyone through that horror :)

So until I have something of interest to say, you can find me playing Runes of Magic (Eu-Macantacht server) – I just can’t be arsed playing WoW until new content comes out – It's just daily after daily blah blah. At least RoM is new to me – lots of exploring etc.

Only lvl 46, but it’s new (to me) and good fun.

USA: Down and Out

Not really in keeping with my usual postings, but I wanted to bring this show, indeed this episode, to your attention.

I think I mentioned at some point finding about 2 years worth of Unreported World on the Channel 4 “4OD” service (UK only unless you have access to a UK proxy). Anyway, the team tend to spend their time in war-torn, third world countries, but this week they reported from the good ol’ US of A. I know the economy is tanked, but had no idea it was this bad in the States. So I decided to put it here for your edumacation.

Supposedly the richest country in the world seems to be ignoring it’s lower classes. When working people have to queue for food hand outs you know there’s something wrong.

DØD SNØ

As if we needed proof Norwegians drink too much

Nazi Zombies? Yup! As much as I dislike watching foreign language films (reading and watching is one too many tasks for me) I love this film. Last foreign film I watched was probably Låt den rätte komma in, a Swedish vampire film (not your average teen-vampire-shite) or maybe [REC]2 (nowhere near as good as the original).

I will add that even though I admit my dislike, due to my inability to multi-task, I prefer to watch a subtitled film to a dubbed version (annoying) or an American re-make (insulting).

It is refreshing to see the teen slash horror genre is still marketable. Not seen anything decent from this genre in a while, so well done Norway!

Oh, Lee, if you read this, I need you to check your surrounding area for Nazi zombies before I come and stay, k?

Lack of updates reflects the activity in my life right now.

Going through one of the troughs in a life of troughs and peaks, sitting on my arse watching TV. World Cup is a nice highlight – of course, not the England games. USA vs. Algeria was a good match – and Spain vs. Chile was good, if dirty.

Summer always presents a lull in good TV – all the decent US shows have ended, and the TV bosses expect everyone to be on holiday, so they just dump shit on. Worthy exceptions to this rule are Lie To Me and Leverage, both of which I feel are worthy of proper seasons, not the annoying mid season spot. Lie To Me viewers are treated especially bad – the show started with a short run, January to May 2009, then reappeared in September with a promised 2nd full season, then it was whipped off the air for 6 months. Still, you come to expect this sort of shit from Fox, just look at Family Guy’s treatment.

So I’ve spent the last few weeks watching what the various channels are offering online. 4OD has a nice collection of documentaries, Unreported World in particular. I don’t watch much TV on the actual TV – I can never remember what’s on and when. I do have a Virgin+ box with a HDD to record stuff, but always forget to use it, or indeed forget that I’ve set it. That can be quite a nice experience, finding I’ve recorded a whole series of something, and forgotten about it.

I’m currently watching The Professionals – from 1977. I remember watching these as a kid, but it’s great looking back now at the famous faces whilst they were young, the terrible over-acting, and the crappy not-so-special effects. I used to think it was brilliant, still do, but not for the same reasons, lol.

It’s all coming to an end

By which I mean TV shows.

Just watched the season Finale of CSI: Miami – another season, another cliff-hanger. To be honest, it’s lacking in originality. Last season on CSI:NY they had the drive-by on the bar which the entire team was inside of. I can’t recall exactly but I’m sure it’s happened more than once on Miami too. C’mon – we all read TV Rage/Futon Critic/TV Guide et al – by now we know if a show is returning or not, and it’s hardly likely to come back with just Eric and Horatio is it?

And this morning finds me mourning the passing of an old friend. Yes, 24 has finally finished after 8 glorious seasons (or days). I was surprised they didn’t kill Bauer off – I suppose Fox is thinking Films, just as they did with The X-Files.

You won’t find me mourning the ending of Lost though – ‘cos I don’t watch the piece of shit – but I believe that’s another show that’s ended it’s run (far outliving my expectations).

Last week saw the season finale of one of my favourite shows, Fringe, with a real treat in store for season three. I was also dismayed by news that 2 new medical shows which started this year will not be returning: Miami Medical (for
UK viewers think Casualty on crack!) and Trauma (Casualty on crack driving a helicopter). Trauma was good, well, kinda OK – watchable, but very samey. Miami Medical, however, will be missed. It’s got some great characters, fast paced and lots of shouting “Stat!”, just what every medical drama needs. I wish it could have stayed around but it’s viewing figures have been dropping lower and lower each week. I suppose they’re lining up another reality show or a sitcom about a cat to replace it. Or maybe a loop of a coin on the end of a chain spinning with the voice-over saying “Look” Shiny!!” Anything to keep the US audience watching.

Still, it’s not all doom and gloom. The end of the season means the start of mid-season shows Lie To Me and Leverage – both top quality shows which I’ve been looking forward too for a long time. Lie To Me is especially good, just because Tim Roth is in it – genius casting. Oh and USA network are having another season of White Collar – quite an interesting departure from the usual FBI drama.

So tonight both flavours of NCIS finish. Both the veteran and it’s sibling are scheduled to return (thanks CBS). Wednesday sees the season finales of both Criminal Minds and CSI:NY, both of which are coming back too, only Criminal Minds is expecting! Yes the show being (crappily) called Criminal Minds 2 has been green-lighted – it is due to star Forrest Whittaker, who was in a previous episode of Criminal Minds with his high-tech team, tracking down a serial kidnapper/murderer. I’m quite looking forward to that.

And finally, FlasForward will end on Thursday … for good! ABC – what the f..? Apparently cancelled after the final episode was shot, so there’s little chance of any real tying up of the storyline.

OK, I'll direct you here for a full update of the status of TV. Looking at the list it seems ITV have cancelled The Bill – I’ve not watched it since June and Carver (before he got fat and booze ridden) so no loss for me, I was just surprised it was still running after 26 series. They probably had it tucked away on ITV3 or 4 :P I only watch 2 shows on ITV – Lewis and Midsomer Murders (though with John Nettles set to leave Midsomer, I don’t know if I’ll still be watching).

I just looked at how much I’ve just written, and realised I watch too much TV. Bah, impossible. There’s no such thing

I is Back!

Finally managed to get this bloody beta working on my desktop PC

Just a quick note to say hello. As I previously noted, I have returned to the bad old ways of World of Warcraft. I’ve missed a lot of content, so I’m slowly catching up with the rest of my guild. Not doing too bad – we’ve had a few stabs at the Lich King, though things seem to be falling apart when the Valkaries carry us off the edge of the platform, but just a matter of time before he falls for us. Four months was a long break, and it’s still a pain, playing with my disabled left arm, but I muddle through, but have to TRY and limit my time so’s not to fully knacker myself…. notice I said try? Not too good at that bit.

Not much else happening apart from that, though my occupational therapist has managed to bully the council into finally revealing what is happening with my kitchen and bathroom refitting – the kitchen plans are drawn and look good, the bathroom is done too, but as it’s being done especially for my needs, future proofed in case of any MS related relapses, it’s been planned by my OT and the architect. I’ve seen a rough drawing, but not a full colour 3D plan like the kitchen. I’ve described the bathroom as “Spazz-proof”, not particularly PC, but then neither am I

Today was a good day too – my emo-kiddies came to visit, along with their son, Harrison, my great nephew, or grandnephew if you prefer the Americanism, which I don’t. I had a cuddle with him in which he dribbled on my shirt, and watched him eat his first solids, a Farley’s Rusk dissolved in milk, not very solid, but you get the drift. OK, enough rambling, gonna go bed. Nighty-night.

omg
