Who wants to be a Super Hero? (Series Finale)  

Posted by Roland

I'm pretty happy the way the show turned out. I still have to complainabout the editing. Its horrible. I don't have to watch the exact same footage after the commercial break that occured just before it. What a waste of time. I agree with the choice of winners, of course, and look forward to the Sci Fi movie. I just wish Cell Phone girl could be the sidekick.

Been working some overtime this week.. Free lunches and dinners are great, but are not good for my diet.. so much for losing weight this month.

Supers

I liked tonights episode of Who wants to be a Super Hero and I agree with the choices made, unlike in many previous episodes. It didn't seem so rehersed or canned. I still didnt like the editing.. so much of what really happened is hidden outside what's in the show.. it just kinda sucks.
Naturally, I'm rooting for Feedback. But I want Cell Phone girl to make a heroic (pun intended) comeback as his sidekick.

Oil Tank Replacement  

Posted by Roland

The oil tank (probably over 50 years old) failed last week. Oil has been seeping from the tank onto the basement floor, creating a river of oil whos eodor has filled the house with nasty oil smell.
Combined with the heavy moisture in the air, its ruining my tools too.

BTW, an oil tank is a large (6' wide and 5' tall) drum that holds oil. This oil is used to heat the homes and the hot water. Never heard of it before coming to New England. Anyway. It was replaced this morning. Hopefully the smell goes away. I bought a wet/vac for 20 bucks (deep discounted sale price) from Home Depot too. Since we're renting, we didnt pay for the oil tank replacement. Whew.

Anyway, oil is nasty. Avoid it.

More Work and More Play

Well I've been working more lately, and haven't had too much to say the last few days. Mowed the lawn, house in Wisconsin still hasn't sold or been rented, etc.. bleh.

I made a website for my D&D Game though.

Brisco County, Jr.

I've been fairly happy this past week or so watching my new DVD: The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (The complete series). It's great. I highly reccommend it.

Supers and the closet  

Posted by Roland

I almost enjoyed episode 2 of Who Wants to be a Super Hero. (Spoiler ahead)
I liked the challenges but was very bummed that the cutest contestant, Cell Phone Girl, was eliminated. I also think Enforcer was a blatant planted actor the whole time now. In fact, I think many of them are actually actors. Monkey Woman has a lot of theater and tv credits. I rewatched episode 1. Creature looked right at the girl in need but ignored her, not Monkey Woman. Creature should have been nominated for elimination and eliminated. Did I also mention her name is lame?
Cell Phone Girl, I am sorry you were booted. You're my favorite, but having a headache is no excuse to not save the world. You'd probably make a great sidekick... but heroine? I think not.

In other news, I fixed the closet. I waited over a week for the landlord to come and fix it (It ripped out of the wall, collapsing). He hasn't done anything about it so I fixed it. Took about 10 mins. Its also stronger than it was before, though not quite as straight :)
