I just caught My Musical. I might go on a series binge one weekend.


Do it. I might just watch the finale tonight... though this is always the end result:

Justin Bieber made an album with RuPaul back in 2010?

Actually it's an album comprised of Alex Ubago (spanish singer), Jorge Villamizar (Colombian folksy-type singer) and Lena Burke (Don't know who she is, but she's cuban apparently... and really attractive) called Alex, Jorge y Lena. Just downloaded their album and it's pretty good. It's especially good for me because of how I'm feeling today after my 2 week relationship ala Ross and Emily on friends ended after she moved back home.

But anyways... BROOKLYN. Am I right?!

2k12 froze on me every other loading screen, and that was with it installed on my xbox. It would freeze very frequently upon completing My Player games too :x :x :x

Same here. For some strange reason, I couldn't enter MyPlayer through the MyPlayer column. I'd have to manually go through the main menu and load it or else it would freeze.

Lena Burke really attractive? I don't know, I'll have to see for myself. (Googles) Oh...

I've been listening to American folk music on flights lately as well. Actually, it's mostly James Taylor.

I wish he played Matthew Perry's father on Scrubs, but at least he made a great guest spot on The Simpsons.

The Scrubs episode with Matthew Perry is one of.. if not my least favorite scrubs episode ever. It just felt like a different show altogether. And it's not because of Perry himself since I thought he was the best thing on Friends (Until he married Monica.. OMG SPO1LERZ) and I liked Mr. Sunshine and Go On even though they weren't the best shows on the planet.

Only if you hate yourself.


Just kidding... it isn't the worst show in the world, but it it has a LOT of flaws. For one the writing (not dialogue) is terrible for the grand majority of the characters. It's pretentious as all hell trying to "fix" the news by covering it "the right way" 2 years later. It's a show that has garnered a lot of haters and rightfully so. I watch it because July/August is the weakest months in terms in quality television and it can at least be entertaining.

Yea, Ive heard about the pretentious nature of it. That is why I have been hesitant to check it out.

Agree with what you said about July and August. Although Breaking Bad usually airs around this time and Mad Men has had a few summer seasons too.

Dexter is still such an inconsistent show which has one of the worst supporting character casts ever and awful plot hole ridden writing. Ray Donovan is flawed but not to the same extent, yet also not as fun. True blood is just trashy entertainment which can often just be trash.

I liked it. It had some great Dr. Cox moments with him and his love for certain moments and Eliot and the greatest stain ever.

I just started season 4 and I understand why people weren't too taken with it. The whole focusing around one specific character for an entire episode just doesn't work for this show... not with the type of lead characters it has. Don't get me wrong; Gob, Buster, Lucille etc are extremely funny characters, but they need to be given a buffer to make their characters work. Spending 30 minutes with Tobias or any other Bluth (or funke) exclusively can get pretty irritating my minute 10.

My reaction when another George Sr episode was coming before a GOB-Centric episode:

I rather liked Tobias and Maeby's episodes, Lucille's as well. George Sr.'s was not that good. I didn't mind it as much as many other people for this season since it was so long since Season 3, but they shouldn't ever do it again. The good thing is that Mitch Lawrence has said a Season 5 will include everyone.

I have no idea. She went crazy with the plastic surgery and she didn't even need it. Without any proof, I irrationally blame Ellen DeGeneres.

If you want, check out the first 2 or 3 episodes. You might enjoy it... I mean you watch Dexter (as do I), and the Newsroom is pretty much on that shows tier.

I thought Finding Nemo was a really crappy movie. The only Pixar movie I dislike.
