I am old

I watched the first episode of the new show Quarterlife which is about people only a quarter dead (age 25 I guess). The main character video blogs (with her Mac of course). The show started as an online thing on Myspace or somewhere.

My reaction:

1) I am old and farther from 25 than I thought

2) The show is not presenting anything new. Conversations in the first episode included a discussion about how women talk too much and artists are always unhappy.

This is basically 'Singles' with a computer. Same old 'Shit' with a new cast.

The Terminator Show

The new Terminator show is good. I told this to someone who replied - I've never seen the movies. In case this is you, I wrote this summary:

yotababy75: Huh...I guess I don't really even know much about them, other than that Arnold is in them

wongojack: Synopsis: T1 - Arnold is a robot from the future who travels back in time to kill Sara Connor. In the future robots fight people and Sara Connor's son (John) is the leader of the people. John Connor sends back Kyle Reese to defend his mom from the robot (aka Terminator) Kyle fucks Sara and thats how John is conceived

yotababy75: Ho HO!

wongojack: T2 The humans in the future get their own robots to fight for them. John Connor sends one back (Arnold) to defend himself. Instead of just defending the Connors they try to stop the bad robots from ever being created by attacking the company responsible for producing them. The company working on the robots is doing so because they got a big tech jump when they recovered a piece of the original robot sent back to kill SConnor.

yotababy75: Ha--oops!

wongojack: T3 isn't even worth summarizing. The end of the world happens but better than expected and John becomes the leader of the resistance. The bad robot is a girl. Arnold is a good guy again. Claire Danes is the love interest for young John.

wongojack: Sarah Connor dies before T3 even starts and the show takes place between T2 and T3 - the show is called "The Sarah Connor Chronicles"

wongojack: now go download the 7 or whatever episodes that have been aired, they are good

Update

I've purchased one game since the frenzy - Zelda Oracle of Seasons for Gameboy Color. It was $4.50 with my Gamestop discount.

I did play Metroid II all the way through and have spent some time with Mario Tennis, RE4, and From Russia with Love

Work is long and takes up 4 complete days a week
