My new beast & Bob’s Burgers

May 092013

Netflix, thank you again. Bob’s Burgers is such a twisted show; that family has issues! I ignored it for the longest time, then one of my colleagues was watching it @ work and was laughing hysterically that I said OK. I watched Season 1 on NF. It took a few episodes to get into it, but then I got hooked. Of course NF only had Season 1 at the time, but Hulu had Season 3 (but not Season 2, wtf is up with that??). So I watched S3 (which is this year); it got better. Now NF has S2, so I’m catching up with that now.

Been waiting for this for a while

But, 2 weeks without dsl again

And maybe this, if it doesn’t suck since Superman II.

A huge “The Walking Dead” fan

I was never a big Merle fan, but that ending…wow.

Unfortunately, I didn’t rip this…and it shows. But I don’t know which is worse; this or Sophia (which I’ll rip sometime next week).

But I missed this commercial, since I was working during the SB

Been digging episodes of Cheers lately

Netflix kept shoving this into my “top 10″ list of shows to watch. I did see some of it when it originally aired and through the years through syndication. I loaded up season 1 and expected some rough times for that season, expecting them to figure out how the show was going to go. It was far from the truth (although not every episode was spot-on; but the writing was soooo good!)

I’m at the part of season 3 where Coach is “travelling” (and I know Nicholas Colasanto dies shortly thereafter), so I am not looking forward to future episodes. He was really good in his role and I will miss him.

BTW, who is this old creepy guy? Every time the camera is aimed into his direction, he has a weird expression on his face??!!

Got a new NAS box

The one I had kept killing disks in a particular slot. Now it’s entirely possible that those were bad disks to begin with (especially after reading the comments on the Egg on how hard WD “Red” disks either arrive DOA or die shortly thereafter). Plus this one will expand out to 16TB (I have it configured for 8TB now).

LOL moment of the day: Conan O’Brien plays Tomb Raider. BTW, he’s not a gamer!

Ugh

I was so looking forward to Aliens: Colonial Marines. I don’t know how many Alien games there are, but I loved the first 2 back in the ’90′s and also liked the 2010 version. This one: not only it has the worst AI ever (you can literally walk past the aliens in a firefight), but what they “changed” from the demo they showed a year ago is mind-boggling.

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood

I thought the Iggles would finish at 5-11, but they were even worse than that and finished 4-12. And of course it cost Andy Reid his job (probably the entire staff as well). While he was the greatest coach in team history, it’s time for a change. 14 years is a long time to be a coach for the same team in the NFL. What is really puzzling is all the moves they made 2 years ago in free agency has *not* worked at all. All the crazy moves (i.e., having your offensive line coach be the new defensive coordinator), the wide-9 scheme, etc. Could go on and on.

So where do we go from here?

Oh yeah, and this.

Guess I need a new playlist

Yeah I know it’s hard to make out, but the column highlighted is the ‘play’ count & I have a lot of songs played more than a thousand times.

At least Apple’s iTune’s seems to be more streamlined. Seems a bit easier to use as well.
