Welllllll my sister told me that she tried to blog once and she got tired of it quickly. I think I’ll blame my dwindling interest on her biasing me.
Let’s see, what has happened since last week when I last posted? My favorite aviators were taken from me by the lake. Well, I basically gave them when I bent over and they fell off. I’ve been in mourning ever since. Alas, they were only $6 and I hope to replace them soon – it’s just that something is messed up with my PayPal and who knows when I’ll actually get a replacement pair and I’m devastated that I was so careless with my first ones.
I saw the Dark Knight finally. Ironic isn’t it that I waited so long for this movie to come out and didn’t get to see it the first weekend along with everyone else? Long story but I wanted to see it in the IMAX and it ended up that that wasn’t possible so we saw it yesterday. This movie is going to break all the records, and (sorry) but it always helps when there’s a dead actor in the movie. That said, Heath Ledger did an amazing job as the joker and I was stunned at how hilarious and dark his character was. No, I was shocked at how well someone did at pulling off “hysterical and dark”. Everything he did made me laugh! I loved him. And I loved this movie. Duh. As a Batman fanatic, I did notice some things that didn’t coincide with the original storyline though. For instance, I bet most viewers didn’t even know Harvey Dent becomes TwoFace prior to seeing this movie but since Batman Forever is one of my favorite movies I was aware and I also know that Harvey’s accident involved boiling acid rather than actual fire. Credit goes to Nola though because as a little sister, I only started liking Batman so much because my older sister did, and this was before it was cool. She used to have this alarm clock that shined the bat signal on the ceiling when it went off while simultaneously saying “Gotham City is in trouble! Call for Batman!”. I’m glad I was a little sister and not a big sister, because frankly, I wouldn’t have been able to handle someone like me, 7 years younger, copying everything I did, said, and took interest in. Anyway, Batman fan or not, this movie was very entertaining for me.
On a not so different note, Dexter is set to premier in September on Showtime. I CAN’T WAIT. If you don’t know the details about Dexter I recommend you visit the website and then order Showtime. This show is so captivating and addicting! I’ve been anxious for it to start up again every since the season 2 finale (which was awesome). If you don’t have Showtime, get it!! It will be worth it and there are a couple of other good series besides Dexter including Californication which will be in its second season as well as The Tudors.
While I’m on the subject of shows I’m addicted to, I’ll go ahead and let you know that I really need LOST to come back on! While Dexter starts again September 28th, LOST doesn’t start back up until JANUARY! Bad bad bad. But, good for you if you’ve never watched because that gives you ample time to watch all four seasons on DVD before the fifth starts up again.
There’s only four shows that I’ll watch with this much enthusiasm and it wasn’t until recently that it got to four. Entourage is the newly added one to my list. With so much time on my hands lately with Phil at work I’ve had time to catch up with this show too. Ari rocks my world. He is so freaking hilarious. Watch this show if you have HBO.
Nip/Tuck I’ve been watching since the first season came out in high school and I actually own all the seasons on DVD sadly. So I first watched this, then Dex, then Lost, then Entourage, but I like them all equally and won’t ever miss an episode of any of them! It seems like I’m a TV fanatic but I’m not really because other than these shows, I don’t really care what’s on. I am really happy that the writers of Nip/Tuck found ways to revive the show after a sucky fourth season; season five was really good. I think it’ll start up again in September but that’s just a guess based on the last two seasons. The Nip/Tuck site on FX is never what I want it to be. I am also anxious because I read that this upcoming season is only 8 episodes. Gay. Better than nothing though!
I wonder if anyone actually took the time to read this post. I still have two weeks until i start work. I still have two more months until Dexter.
