Wow, I'm up to over 1000 hits on this thing. Somebody's reading this thing. Or maybe it's just me pressing "reload" on Internet Explorer over and over ...
Seriously ... thanks for reading. I have really enjoyed writing these entries and I'm glad that they have allowed people to be kept up to date on what is going on with me (as if that is somehow important ... but hey, I try to make it at least SOUND entertaining).
TONIGHT SHOW / NBC UPDATE:
Pretty cool experiences this week so far at work. Monday I was CB for the Tonight Show which meant I got to escort the guest, most notably comedic legend DANA CARVEY, to their dressing rooms. I told Mr. Carvey that I was a big fan of his and considered him one of the all time great SNL cast members. He seemed very nice and genuinely appreciative to hear that. And then he randomly made a few funny comments about his dressing room and whatnot in a kind of Church Lady-esque voice. How cool is that? Today was a big day with the man and myth John Travolta on the show, which was kind of cool even if I'm not his biggest fan or anything. Then one of my favorite actresses, Christina Ricci, was on the show. I've been a big fan since I first enjoyed her star-making performance as Wednesday Adams back in the day, and I've really liked her in movies like The Ice Storm, Sleepy Hollow, and the underrated in my opinion Anything Else (by Woody Allen). Anyways Christina Ricci was great to see in person and I even walked right by her in the hallway on the way out of the show. Coolness.
As I mentioned I am kind of annoyed that tommorow I'm going to miss out on the Tonight Show featuring my sports hero Charles Barkley, plus a pretty decent band in Sum 41, as I am assigned to do Ellen instead. No idea who's going to be on Ellen as I don't get that info in advance. Hopefully someone good. Probably just Dr. Phil or someone (I think he's actually supposed to be on this week ...).
(BRI'ISH SPEAK BLOODY BEGINS HERE - CHEERS, MATES) Right then, had a wicked tour group of high-schoolers today from Jolly Old England. LONDON, to be exact. Me right old stomping grounds. The lot of them seemed bloody impressed with my massive knowledge of British TV and the UK in general, and it was downright wicked to let loose with terms like "dodgy." A fine group, it was. Even if I must admit I was a bit disappointed with their lack of knowledge about The Office and Da Ali G Show. Booyakasha -- Respeck.
BIG PS2 UPDATE:
Holy schneikies, I fixed m'darn Ps2, all by meeself! Yep, I am a mechanical genious afterall! I tooled around with today, cleaned out the laser and adjusted the voltage gear, following instructions from a website, and I'll be damned, it works! One less thing I have to worry about, so if UPS DID end up footing the bill, it'd be a huuuuuge bonus.
DANNY'S QUICK HITS TV ROUNDUP:
24: Another RIVETING episode. More Jack-Tony dynamic duo! Jack confronts evil Arab woman! Edgar's Mom is in trouble! Nuclear Meltdown! And what an ending ... Jack is not a happy man. Oh - despite evidence to the contrary I STAND BY my prediction that Aisha Tyler's character is in fact NOT ACTUALLY EVIL. But wow, 24 is firing on all cylinders this season, a huge step-up from last year at this time. My grade: A
Veronica Mars: Very cool episode, though they are making Veronica a little TOO perfect. She's got to slip up sometime right? I mean she IS only in High School. Still, another enjoyable ep with some cool twists, a relevant plot (teacher-student affairs - very timely), and some more verry interesting clues about the Lilly Kane ongoing murder mystery. My grade: A-
Real World: Ugh. This cast is so boring and just so ... off. They are really reaching here to create any kind of compelling drama / conflict. Next cast, please. My grade: D
Can't wait for LOST tommorow. Now that they seem to really be unraveling the mystery of the island, I am hooked. Apparently Krypto the superdog appears on Smallville tommorow. I wonder if Jeph Loeb wrote that one? He has some weird obsession with the super-canine, who in my opinion is just cheesy and pretty dumb. Does Smallville really need any more cheesiness at this point?
I've heard rumors that ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT may not be long for this world. If that is true, then (to paraphrase Mr. Tito), FINGER OF SHAME to FOX for it's total lack of backbone when it comes to supporting its quality shows. I hope this isn't true, but the fact that it's getting bumped from Sunday night in spring is not a good sign for the BEST COMEDY ON TV RIGHT NOW.
RANDOMNESS:
- Good luck Kirsten with your trip to Australia! I know you will have a great time Down Under.
- Nice, the theme from the movie Fletch just came on my WinAmp.
- You know, I'm a big fan of Subway, but you just never know what kind of quality to expect from them.
- My turn signals work, but for how long?
- Picked up one of my all time favorite films, The Princess Bride, for a steal of a price at the local Target.
- Parents come to visit this weekend. Oh boy.
- 1000 hits, baby. Soon I'll be up there with Cindy Margolis.
