#5 - The '90s
The decade in which I was born, the age of Nintendo, Grunge, VHS, pre-creepy Tom Cruise, and loads of other cool stuff (excluding boy bands, of course). Super Nintendo was a huge hit in the early '90s, (remember Super Mario World? Yoshi FTW!) and in '96, the Nintendo 64 was born. It seems like just yesterday I took a trip to Toys 'R' Us and saw Mario run and hop around in all three dimensions for the very first time. And who can forget them '90s tunes? Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Sublime, Weezer, Sound Garden; the list goes on.
Omgz he's showin' his wii!#4 - Seinfeld (which, coincidentally, is from the '90s)
I got the complete series of Seinfeld for Christmas, and I've practically been watching it non-stop. I'm on the 7th season already (out of nine). I did skip the first three seasons, but I'll come back to them.
This show is genius! If you've never really seen it, start watching it NOW. There's at least one absolutely hilarious moment in every episode, and so many great characters. Who could forget Kramer, Jerry, Elaine, and my personal favourite: George. He's so funny. Probably because so often he reminds me of people in my own life (hint: starts with shh, ends with nelly). At the very least, you have to check out these clips on YouTube: Kramer, George.
Finally! After several excruciating months of cruddy reality television and ridiculous new game shows (hooking people up to a polygraph? That's horrible!), the strike has drawn to a close. The WGA has struck a deal with the head honchos in Hollywood, and our beloved writers have returned to work. What does this mean for our favourite programs? I'll tell you.
Lost - the cut-down, eight-episode season is likely to grow, bringing us closer to the originally promised sixteen weeks of uninterrupted Lost.
24 - Jack Bauer needs a full day to save the world! Who do you think he is, Superman? He may be bad-ass, but he's not faster than a speeding bullet, so we're probably going to be waiting until 2009 before we see any more of him.
Heroes - Unfortunately, it'll be at least September before we see anymore action from Hiro and the gang. With any luck, by that time the writers will have thought of a story that doesn't crawl at the pace of a tranquilized walrus (ie, it doesn't move fast).
The Office - Sitcoms are lookin' good. If we're lucky we might even get a full season out of this baby. Dunder-Mifflin FTW!
#2 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl
What is there to say? This game is going to be AWESOME! I can't wait to kick some serious ass online (and off) once it releases in March. I plan to get it on day one and go nonstop for at least three or four weeks. We'll see how it goes from there.
But really, this game has everything. New characters, new stages, new moves, and more options than Matthew McConaughey at a high school sock hop.
More than anything though, Super Smash Bros. is just balls-out, pure, uninhibited fun. And frankly, if you can't see the hilarity of itty bitty Pikachu beating the shit out of Ganondorf with a paper fan, you are made of stone. C'mon, he's PIKA!
Ka me ha me HA!!!#1 - GOT MAH "N"!!!!
I started this post about 2 weeks ago, so this is just a little late, but still, it's big news. I can finally drive! All by myself! Or with a friend (only one)! As you can now doubt imagine, this makes me happy. Very happy.
And I passed the test on my first try, too. Man, things just keep going my way. Hopefully karma doesn't decide I need to get off my ass and do something worthwhile. That would be a bummer.
Until next time--

p.s. - Here's a slightly belated Valentine for y'all.
