    Star Trek: Countdown

    How? Isn't the comic set years after the last Star Trek movie?

    Battlestar Galactica

    The FX for the space battles got really great after Razor.

    Tax raises?

    "Hmmm, this memo that says 'Osama bin Laden Determined To Strike in US' doesn't seem too important, disregard that. Well I'm off to vacation guys."

    Steve Jobs leaving Apple for health reasons

    If Apple's stock price keeps dropping the way it has for the last year (jan2008: 200 per share, jan2009: 80 per share) it's entirely possible. Some people mistakenly look at Apple and Microsoft as about the same size and prominence, but Apple is a spec of dust compared to the giant that is Microsoft. http://i.gizmodo.com/5135991/sec-examining...ne=true&s=i

    Battlestar Galactica

    Oh my fucking god. That may have been the best episode of the whole series. And not just because of the revelations, that scene with Adama and Tigh was off the chain.

    PlayStation 3

    Yeah I watched the regular DVD of 300 on my PS3 and just with the upscaling you could see grain. I imagine it would be significantly more noticeable on a bluray.

    NHL - January 2009

    Did you go to the Leafs game that month? Cause I was there for that and it was definitely an experience. GM Place is half full of Leafs fans and the Canucks kill off an almost 2 minute 5 on 3 and then score immediately after and then get up to 4-0 at one point. Crazy energy that game. Edit: Never mind, my memory must be going since that was in November. I've been going over to Vancouver so often lately I'm confusing trips.

    The Office Season 5

    I thought Andy creeping up on Dwight in the Prius was one of the funnier moments in the whole series. Especially with Oscar's commentary: "That's a Prius. If he keeps it under 5mph it's silent. Wow, he deserves the win."

    Fuck these losers. Man, I am a hardcore bandwagoner when it comes to the Canucks.

    PlayStation 3

    That's probably either just the film, or you're sitting too close to the TV. How big is it and how far away do you sit?

    Let's Talk About: Hair Metal

    I'm pretty sure people who lump GNR in with hair metal have just seen clips of the Welcome To The Jungle video on VH1 and haven't actually listened to much of their output, because they definitely have a completely different sound.

    Let's Talk About: Hair Metal

    I'd file Skid Row under Hair Metal but definitely not Guns N Roses.

    Guitar Hero World Tour

    Played this quite a bit at my friend's house the other day and, while they didn't do anything to mess it up, I think it pales in comparison to Rock Band.

    Battlestar Galactica

    Yeah, I agree there's definitely something special about Baltar, same with Kara. I do think he's human though. I will be interested to see how they handle all of the mythological and religious stuff though. Will they bust out a scientific explanation for all of the visions and destinies and such (ie. Baltar DOES have a chip in his brain, there's some time travel going on, etc) or will they have some supernatural explanations for things? I really think there's going to be some time travel revealed at some point. I mean, Ronald Moore WAS a Star Trek writer.

    The Canucks are getting me pretty down lately. 5 straight losses at GM Place. Luongo's back tomorrow, god I hope it makes a difference cause they're in danger of slipping out of the playoffs now.

    Battlestar Galactica

    Yeah BSG is like crack. I never saw anything from it until my friend convinced me to check out the miniseries (it was halfway through the 2nd season) and I just couldn't stop watching until I caught up. I don't think any stuff like that is going to go down, nor do I think it should. I don't think they're going to reveal anything about the Gods or God because I think it would be disappointing no matter how they do it. Like a character steps from behind the curtain and goes 'Ta da! I'm God! Betcha didn't see that coming.' The nature of the universe is a pretty complex question, so I think they're going to leave that stuff alone. I may be wrong and they'll go there, but I don't see how it could be satisfying. I understand how people want them to answer that stuff, since people want stories like this wrapped up in a nice bow, and I know there will be bitching if they don't answer the question 'Who's right about God(s)? Humans or Cylons?' I really hope they leave that stuff open ended. Sure they could answer some stuff about the mythology/artifacts/temples but stay away from the really big stuff. I think it would be like if The Wire had ended with a perfect solution about how to fix drugs and poverty in American cities.

    NHL - January 2009

    I was at the Sharks game and the Canucks actually looked good despite the loss, especially compared to recent games. That St Louis game was just atrocious. The thing that worries me is that if they keep playing the way they do, Luongo coming back isn't going to make a difference. Everyone seems to be assuming that things will get better when he returns since they were kicking ass right up until he got injured and then started sucking it, but if they can't get the fucking puck out of their own end and having pathetic giveaways then having a great goalie isn't going to fix it. Oh and I don't know if it was shown on TV, but Sundin got like a 3 minute standing ovation after his first goal. Awesome, another Nucks fan. I've been saying the same thing- Luongo coming back is great, but he can't stand on his head every game when the team just comes out flat. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed their pathetic attempts at clearing the puck. I'm hoping it's one of those morale things where their captain coming back combined with having Sundin in the lineup will inspire the rest of the team to give a damn. If they could play like they did for the first 2 periods of the Sharks game all the time they'd be solid. Stamkos is still newsworthy?

    You're trying to save money and you bought a MONSTER surge protector? Buying anything by Monster is the tech equivalent of lighting your cigars with 100 dollar bills. Only cuz I needed to get rid of the interference I was getting. Plus I got it at work with my employee dfiscount. Yea it was a neccessary evil I suppose , however I usually don't go for the Monster products.You don't have to tell me about stores pushing Monster products, I know all about it. Customers actually fall for it too,that's the sad part All in all ,it got rid of my problem so that's what matters. I just won't be buying any toys for awhile Ok, you got it on discount.

    Your top 10 films of 2008

    I think Forgetting Sarah Marshall was the funniest movie of the year, though I really liked Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express too. Haven't seen Zach and Miri yet though.

    Battlestar Galactica

    This show's back in 10 days and I am fucking pumped. Can't wait to see how they end the series. My guess for the final Cylon was Starbuck's father (who we've never seen) because there's clearly something special about Kara but I don't think she's the Cylon. But then I read something where Moore said it won't be a guest star, so I don't know if that would work. I just really really want to finally find out how Baltar survived the nuclear attack at the very beginning.
