True Dat

Guess who's coming to town..?

If any of you are interested in the least bit about a Spandau Ballet reunion concert you can get more information from their website as the Tour Dates continue to be updated.

Personally, I'm looking forward to this one - mostly out of nostalgia but also because I like the music.

Fan-Frakking-Tastic

First there were rumors. Just whispers that Galactica would be reborn and reinterpreted. Then the rumors became truth. Starbuck and Boomer, girls? Cylons looking like humans. No dagget!? I can't say that I was a fan from the get go. What I can say is that even though it took almost an entire season for me to warm up to the idea of a remake, I eventually fell for Battlestar Galactica - Hard.

I watched the finale in concentrated silence trying to glean every last last bit of information to piece the mystery together. The culmination of 4 seasons coming to a close in a different, and almost non-climactic way.

The past 4 seasons have represented, in my opinion, some of the best television drama offered to date. Most certainly, in the SciFi world. As I watched the universe of BSG develop and the characters deepen I was reminded that sometimes you can find some shows that are worth spending time on.

And now, it has come to an end. All the plot twists, revelations and cliff hangers have all been laid aside and I'm left having to part ways with one my favorite shows. I will miss everything the mythology had to offer and I look forward owning this series on Blu-Ray.

Even if you're not a SciFi nut like myself, you could see what the hype is all about and rent the pilot episode. Maybe you'll get drawn into our universe as well. So say we all.

Pending immortality

I was just telling my brother that I haven't seen a good vampire movie in a while. Now, that's not to say that I didn't enjoy "30 Days of Night", but as usual it's never spot on. And don't even get me started on the whole "Twilight" trend going on right now. There is no way that you can take a vampire seriously when it looks like he's been immersed into a couple of episodes of "Dawson's Creek". In any case, this gives me a glimmer of hope: "Blood: The Last Vampire".

I hope it's as good as the animated feature.

Racers, start your engines.

The past couple of years of the "Celebrity Pro Race" have been mired with not so celebrity level entertainers. While always entertaining, it doesn't motivate you to attend the celebrity race or care about the results. This year the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach has upped the ante and wrangled some bigger names.

I love going to the Grand Prix and I'm looking forward to it this year. If I can work some of my contact magic maybe I can find myself back in the paddocks with 'Neo'. Whether you're a race fan or not, the Grand Prix offers a good time and hopefully there won't be too much of a damper from the economic hiccup we're experiencing. It's definitely worth it to see and hear a race car rip down the straight away at 200mph.

I'll see you at the races.

I second that emotion

Can't we all just focus on the sole responsibility of driving? Take the Snuggie off, put down the phone, turn down the radio and step away from the car - everything will be allright.

You just keep on pushing me over

And you thought Borderline was good the first time around..? Try this on for size.

Trust me, your mother's gonna be a natural.

Why doesn't this surprise me..?

It seems that you can't go anywhere nowadays without hearing about porn. Television, News programs and of course - the internet. More often than not the mere word causes interesting conversations and a polarizing effect between people that we would label conservative or liberal. The stereotype would dictate that the more conservative among us would practice what they preach when it comes to the subject, but a new study would have us believe that things aren't always what they seem. All in all, the statistics of this particular study (PDF Doc) are interesting to say the least.

Maybe there should be a little more honesty amongst our Republican constituents and church goers - don't you think?
