What are you Watching Now (Part Deux)

[Alluveal]

Just curious what's out there that's catching your eyeballs.

For me, can't wait for House to come back (watched a nice marathon on USA today.)

Galactica (durh!) Pretty good season so far, though I think Chief is in for a shit-time this season.

Into Lost, season 3 now. Really enjoying it. Desmond episode I just saw was good. I kinda like him. Have a feeling Charlie's gonna be toast soon. Only so many times he can be saved.

Gone Baby Gone is on my nightstand. That's my treat for after my first final tomorrow. I'm a huge Dennis LeHane fan, so I can't wait to see what's been done with it.

Finished Jericho, season 1. Enjoyed it. Downloading season 2 as we speak from I-Tunes. Started slow, but I got into it once they stopped with the "OMGZORS, we have to move a huge vat of gas from one side of town to the other W/O Esssploding," and that's the ENTIRE EPISODE. Great to see D.B. Sweeney as a bad guy, too.

Watched The Departed. Loved it. Awesome. Big badda boom. Marky Mark rocks it.

I watched Gone Baby Gone and while I thought the movie in and of itself was good I can't support the line of thinking in it.

I did read Bad Monkeys by Matt Ruff which I thought was a fantastic book and kind of reminded me of the ex boyfriend who told me he was a member of an elite militaristic unit called the NCC who went in "when the Green Berets failed". Anyway it was a great book and I highly recommend it !

Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out what I want to watch. I really wanted to watch The Tudors but I'm not sure I should start int he middle and the same with the John Adams series. Lost is into it's what, 3rd season now ? and I was all excited for it, but then I kept forgetting about it. I think my biggest problem is I never know whats coming on when and I have kids up until 9pm and only 1 tv in the house (although the girls generally go read for 30 min before bed and the boys go to bed by . I had watched some Lucy Lu show but I can't remember if it was Cashmere Mafia or Lipstick Jungle but needless to say I can't find it on anywhere, and House I've been wanting to watch but I have no idea when it's on ! lol

Not watching much of anything right now, except Battlestar Gallactica Seems I've entered a reading binge for the time being. I'm totally engrossed in the Novel "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. It's an excellent read. It's spooky, funny, thought-provoking and its a page-turner to be sure. I highly recommend it.

Didn't poor Neil Gaiman get diagnosed with Alzheimer's? My sister is a big fan of his, but I have yet to pick up one of his books. They're on my list~

Watching: The first season of Scrubs and the first season of Dr. Who.
Reading: Dragon Lance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight

[Alluveal]

Have you ever read that series, Select?

[Select]

Which series? Dragon Lance?

[Alluveal]

Yeah.

[Select]

First time reading it. I have to keep reminding myself that it is not a cliche, but a thing that spawned many a cliche. I like the pacing.

[Alluveal]

It definitely has a lot of copycat stuff, but it's good genre fiction. I read the Chronicles and the Time of the Twins series. The series that follows the children of the Heroes is crap, imho, but I know many who have enjoyed it.

Book 2. Bout 1/3 of the way through, total heartbreak. God, that series brings so many memories.....

Tasslehoff is awesome... what a doorknob.

Nope, Neil Gaman wasn't, Terry Pratchett was.


I'm enjoying the outdoors right now, so not a lot of TV watching, I am reading the Ender's series still though - almost done with Shadow Puppets.

If you liked American Gods you should look for Anansi Boys too.

I loved "Neverwhere" too, but "Anansi Boys" is definitely a good choice if you liked American Gods.

Has anything spawned more D&D or MMPORPG character names then Dragonlance and the Drizzt series?

[Ariannda Kusanagi]

I love the Drizzt series =(

[Alluveal]

Yeah, me too, but how many dark elves did you see named:

drizzt
drizzit
driz'd
drizd

I mean, I saw more inkies with that name than I did halflings named Bilbo and Frodo.

[Ariannda Kusanagi]

Still a good series, I'm only about halfway through, or i was. The library doesn't carry the whole series at my local branch but i think they have all of them tri county combined. I can request them from the other libraries but I can't remember for sure which is the last one i read, the 5th or the 6th lol.

I'm naming my next cat Frodo just out of spite.

Look now you made me forget what I was actually typing. i've been watching Idol too and I am NOT impressed really. There's about 1 contestant who's really good and the rest are just... so so

[Alluveal]

I don't even watch anymore. Very few of the winners actually make it as stars. Simon is fun and Paula is loaded half the time. I just get the downlo from news shows. I could care less. I'll tune in 5 minutes before the final ends to see the winner. I know it's like reading the last page of the book, but ugh. Life is too short.
