Eek. Life and my innate laziness kept me away from the blog for far too long. The monthly posting of sites I find interesting hasn’t been updated in what seems like forever.
So, without further delay, here’s part 1 of what I’ve been doing online lately. Warning – no theme or rhyme/reason here.
NaNoWriMo is getting close. Essentially, it’s a challenge for yourself, a contest where the only prize is finishing. You write a novel in November. Start on 11/1 and finish on 11/30. Novel is defined as 50,000 words. I did this last year and won. Okay, I wrote over 60,000 words so I met the requirements for winning, but I didn’t finish the story and haven’t touched it since. Maybe one day. Not sure what I’m writing this year, but I’ll be blogging about it as a distraction from actually doing it. Why not join me?
Picking up on the earlier post of Star Trek Pez, here’s a link to what Wil Wheaton called the Venn overlap of Star Trek and Monty Python.
Enjoy!
I’m watching one of my favorite not-good made-for-TV minseries on the Sci Fi channel: Stephen King’s Rose Red. It was about a haunted house that’s [cue scary music] alive. That’s not what I wanted to write about.
This is. The third clip in. About 0:15.
The demise of Jack was at the last commercial break. I like the Sci Fi Channel bumps in and out of shows, but this one was a little more twisted than usual. Maybe it was the giant’s foot grinding little Jack into the floor.
Not a lot new for the weekends. Friday gets two dramas, and Sunday gets two dramas and two animated sitcoms. Nothing on Saturday. As a side note, I kept mistyping dramas as drams so apparently my weekends during the 2008-2009 season are fueled by whiskey.
Friday
NBC – Crusoe – 8-10
Gone in 5 Episodes
It’s based on what you think it’s based on, and then it rips off Lost to make it more than Crusoe and his man Friday on an island. Sean Bean plays Crusoe’s father and Sam Neill a family friend in flashbacks. I would have said this makes it to midseason, but NBC is already planning on pulling/moving it to make way for Deal or No Deal in January.
CBS – The Ex List –9-10
Makes it to Midseason

Not much new coming in on Wednesdays and Thursdays next season. Wednesday sees two sitcoms, one drama and one reality show. Or maybe it’s three sitcoms: I don’t know if Knight Rider counts as a drama or not. On Thursday, we get two dramas, 1 sitcom and one reality show.
Wednesday
NBC – Knight Rider –8-9
Makes It to Midseason
The TV movie/pseudo-pilot was lucky to be made. The show was lucky to be picked up. It’ll be lucky to get to midseason.
CBS – Project Gary –8:30-9
Full Season; Likely Return
