I think the best way to describe this vid is to say that it’s a General/ BroYay vid. I started it as a general vid, but while clipping all 23 episodes, I found that the many storylines fit the lyrics in different ways, with the “Exploding Man” being the most prominent. I tried to include as many Heroes as I could, but not all made the final cut (Claude did, of course). Hope you like it!

Am I Alone?

Entertainment Weekly’s cover story this week is about The Simpsons movie. I could not care less about that movie. Sure, I liked The Simpsons, about 20 years ago! I haven’t been impressed with the characters since they were featurettes on The Tracy Ullman Show. I honestly don’t get the love people have for the show, but I don’t mind it either.

Somewhat conversely, I do mind the ill-placed love people have for American Idol, which was also featured in EW. I never hear anyone say they actually like the show, but for some reason, it gets great ratings and has been renewed for multiple seasons. I think my basic problem with the show is that it seems to draw (for the most part) degenerate types. There’s no way I can state my opinion without it sounding horribly classist, so I’ll just leave it at that, but man, I’d love for that show to go away (or at least stop taking up space in entertainment magazines).

OK, Eureka’s coming on…gotta run.

My Social

Welcome to my social. I’ve been wanting a new layout for a long time, but it seems my graphic making skills have actually gotten worse, if that’s even possible. After a daylong modifying session, I’ve decided to use Zune as the default for awhile.

If you aren’t using the most current version of Firefox, IE, or Opera, it may not display properly for you. In which case, choose one of the older layouts.

My Take On The End

(Here Be Spoilers)

So there you have it.

I can’t wait to see what everyone else thinks.

Agree? Disagree?

Reading it at all?

I’m only one chapter in and I’m trying to stop.

I hate myself a little bit right now. Once someone converted images to text, the allure was too strong.

Have mercy!

To Quote Cameron Mitchell

NOT YET, WALTER! NOT YET! S09.Ep03 “Origin” : Cam and Teal’c were going to free Daniel and Vala from their connection with Harrid and Sallis by throwing the Ancient device into the energy vortex of the gate. Walter was dialing the gate, and they needed perfect timing so they wouldn’t miss the vortex.

Anyway, my point is that it’s TOO SOON to be posting spoilers from Book 7, dammit. The NY Times ran its “review” which obviously included spoilers, so as to trump all other media outlets. I’m afraid that I may just avoid the computer until I’ve finished reading, sometime around Sunday morning. I’ll probably just stay away from any news sources, LJ, RSS readers (which will KILL me), and anything else that may reveal too much. I’ll stick to my DVRd shows and wait anxiously for my book.

Another quote from SG-1 is befitting my mailman, who truly is an idiot every day of the week (S03.Ep14 “Foothold”). If you’ve ever seen the Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm, you can imagine just how nuts this guy is. I think he delivers mail to whomever he wants, whenever he wants. I know I received my neighbor’s tax refund once. I’d put my chances at getting my book delivered on time at around 50%. Now I can tell you, if I don’t get my book, I’m going to be hell to deal with, especially if everyone is sold out (which I doubt will happen). When Book 6 came out, I was living with the ‘rents and their mailman is supurb. He even drove all the way up their driveway to hand deliver my book to me. Damn, I should have had it shipped to them! Arrrgh! Why didn’t I think?!? Anyway, I’d say things will be alright, and I’m going to stop rambling now.

Indeed.

Total suckage until the last eight minutes.

There’s really no need for me to say anything, as I’m sure it has been, or will be, said thousands of times by others. I was completely unimpressed with the Dumbledore/Voldemort showdown, but as soon as it ended, wow! The last eight minutes are exactly how I think of Harry and what makes him so. It’s a little like my “How It Ends” vid, even. So filmmakers, remember, if you have only a few good moments, put them at the end so people forget the rest of the crap.
