no more tivo w00t

i finally bit the bullet after tivo wouldn't let me upgrade my damaged tivo to an hd box with my lifetime subscription and am now the proud owner of a time warner hd-dvr. it will definitely take some getting used to, but so psyched to be able to watch football and not have to miss gossip girl. apparently the cw is streaming episodes, so i've got to check that out before next monday.

i was super excited for fringe tonight, but if it wasn't jj abrams i would have turned it off about 45 minutes in.

so disappointing. joshua jackson is sci fi pacey 2008 and the line readings sound so forced. if she wasn't still on without a trace i would wonder if poppy montgomery was playing the lead role. the second half seemed way better than the first, but i also paid it less attention. i'll watch the second ep but not sure i'll make it to week 3.

side note -- if i see one more preview for lakeview terrace i'm gonna puke. i wanted to see it at first, but i'm so sick of being bombarded me w/ the trailer that i may boycott it as a response to their marketing campaign. i'm a bit more intrigued by eagle eye, and i'll admit -- i wanna see the house bunny.

i just watched a cheesy show called privilege that is trying to capitalize on a gossip girl type fan base, and it's typical teenybopper soap opera shit that i love. the lead actress is weirdly compelling and i think the acting might be better than on fringe.

poker has me steaming. it seems like i'm building up a big stack in practically every tournament i play, and then late in the tournament losing a bit pot with a flip, running a big pair into a bigger pair, or getting it in as a favorite and losing anyway. don't get me wrong, i have my share of retardastic suckouts along the way, but i can't win late no matter how far ahead i am. also running badly in stars hyper turbos, but i expect that kind of variance. i bubbled the razz skillz game tonight, which was cool.

tomorrow, i plan on playing.

The more I see previews for Lakeview Terrace, the more I'm convinced it's going to be awful. I just see it now, and feel like it should be called "Angry Cop Neighbor". I mean, who wants to see a movie about an asshole neighor who is also a cop so he can do whatever he wants?

Quite a comeback in Razz when I thought I was sending you to the rail.
