Educational television doesn't work

Everyone has a vice. Most people have more than one. One of mine is South Park. Now, I'm not saying it's all good but I watch it whenever I can.



Last night they had an episode where the Internet goes down... and hilarity ensues. It was pretty funny because I often run into people who think that the internet is a 'thing'. I did have someone ask me once if I could 'put the internet on a disk so they can have it at their house.' I'm not even kidding about that.

Anyway, it turns out that the Internet is run by one giant router... it looked like a Linksys. After the military tries to reason with the router by playing the sounds from Close Encounters, they fix it by unplugging it and then pugging it back in. So Joy and I laughed and then she went to work and I went to bed. Joy works at home but at night. Then, around 3 am, Joy wakes me up because our internet connection was down, which she needs to work. Sure enough, I unplug the cable modem and then plug it back in. She asked me what I did to fix it and I think I mumbled South Park and went to bed. See what I mean? Also, I watch Good Eats on the Food Network and I can't cook my way out of a wet paper bag!

Joy and I also started Netflix. So far it's pretty good... except that we decided to rent War. Here's a brief synopsis:

Some stuff happens... there's a horse. Jason Statham gets attacked by axes for the hundredth time. FBI agents have a license to kill.. and use it... throughout the movie... and nobody cares. Jet Li kicks people. Oh... every Asian in LA carries a samurai sword (my personal fav) ... then there's this big shootout and the end sucks.

It was a pretty crappy movie... better than Transporter though. Honestly, most movies of late are pretty crappy anyway.

Lastly, I've been watching House. Now, I'm not a TV guy and I really have a hard time staying interested in any shows these days but House has got me hooked for the time being. I think that the writing is pretty intelligent and I like where the story's going.

I can really relate to the main character, a socio-path that everyone tolerates because of his brilliance. Man, if he was managing a 2003 environment instead of being a doctor it'd be my life! Anyway, It's good ju-ju. Check it out.

I think I'm going to check the dark corners of the Interweb for seasons one and two... I mean, I am going to go to Best Buy and purchase this fine program with my hard earned money.... because P2P is the devil.
