end of season

Image via Wikipediagrrrh... i was waiting and waiting and it never came.

i just realised that last week's episode of house was the season finale for season 4. DOH! no wonder it had such a weird twist to it. i should have guessed that it was too dramatic to be shoved in the middle of a season. now there's gonna be an agonizing 3 month's wait for september to come.

and coincidentally, grey's anatomy also ended with a 2 hour finale last week, which evolved into a somewhat semi-sweet ending, though i see more tragic outcomes ahead in season 5. and that's not due until september too i think.

right now there's gonna be another tv void to fill. i can't live without it! while digging around, i've picked out a few things that will hopefully keep me occupied. one of them is called mad men, which i've never heard of, but apparently it is so good that it won a golden globe for best tv series. but then again, looking at past year winners such as the x-files, i'm not exactly reassured. and i will also pick up family guy again. haven't been up to date with it. damn i miss it so much, but the busy schedule has made me too lazy to seek it out, and also partially because there's an evil monkey in my closet driving me nuts.

what is it with them TV people?

it puzzles me: why in the name of the almighty, are the TV people being such anal probes during such a crucial period of my personal development, when i have all the time in the world to enjoy something that only old people and professional couch potatoes get to enjoy.

first there was the 100 day strike by the writers' guild. yeah okay, fair enough, i can understand why they're doing it, they want their names in bigger fonts when the credits roll at the end of the show. the industry paid around $2 billion for that, when someone at the drawing desk could have just flipped a switch to make 'em bigger. well it's the americans, taking the easy way out is simply too "cheap" for them.


and that really tested my patience quite a bit, living without house and grey's anatomy among other great shows for almost 3 months. it's akin to not being able to open your christmas present until christmas when it's sitting right there staring at you. quite a method for torture.

and today i saw probably one of the most brilliant episodes of grey's anatomy, and last week's house was also unbelievably hilarious (i can't wait till monday). now just when i thought everything is finally falling into place, i hear about the F.A.G.s possibly going on strike too. to be fair they're actually the S.A.G. (or screen actors guild), but were famously dubbed the "film actors guild" (hence F.A.G.) in team america world police.

i just cannot stomach this blasphemy anymore. it's like they're trying to take away what little luxury i have left in my life. if they were to go on strike, i think i will just give up on life altogether and go be a monk or something. who needs tv when you're a monk?

jesi! (that's plural for jesus) can't we have some good ol' fashioned tv without all the poppycock?

bumpity bump bump bump bump bump

yesterday was valentine's day, traditionally celebrated by couples, as an event to express their affection for each other, also much celebrated by mega corporations and SMCs alike, as a tribute to a very successful marketing scam/brain-washing campaign which feeds on the hopeless naivete of the general public.


as you should have known by now, the original valentines's day, in honour of st. valentine of rome, and some other st. valentine of some other city, and a dozen others, have nothing to do with love or couples or anything like that. in fact there was no mention of it being celebrated for a useful purpose, other than for the sake of the few st. valentines. oh well... anyways vday this year is, well, uneventful. i didn't even step out of the house. not much of a romantic mood. anyways it's only for people who are attached, or whatever...

i have finally decided on something interesting to fill out my rather uneventful life, i have decided to turn to the dark side, to sell my soul to the devil, to head out on the highway to hell... i have decided to start watching Family Guy. and i have to say... IT'S BRILLIANT! the humour is just so twisted, much like south park but not as vulgar. haha and i love stewie, and brian the dog, who talks!


those two gotta be my favourite characters in the show, especially brian. he gives such funny ideas that it seems like peter is the dog and he is the owner. and it doesn't help that brian walks upright and talks. on the other hand only brian understands stewie, which is strange but funny as hell as it seems that brian is the only person (dog) who understands what stewie's up to, and doesn't pity him at all. anyways, highly recommended if you have time to burn.

also on another bombshell, i've stumbled upon the molson beer ad again, the last time i saw it was a few years ago. never seizes to crack me up! enjoy!
