The hell?

Damn you, tv networks! Fringe's Kirk Acevedo gets fired, My Name is Earl gets canceled (Reaper too, but I saw that coming *sigh), but other stuff that is only so-so or total drivel gets renewed. Argh! And on a side note with no judgments as to present quality because I haven't seen this show in years, but when is Smallville going to end? Because there is such a thing as shows just ending versus getting canceled. I got the impression that it was supposed to be prequel to the Lex vs Superman conflict, not the conflict itself. Not that I know a damn thing about it. It's just weird that this show has been around since I was in high school. High school! That was eight years ago! I don't know why, but it makes me feel really old.

On another note, I have yet to see Star Trek. This is sad, but I keep missing the first showing which is much cheaper. However, I did get to watch another movie about a gay restaurant owner who falls for this extremely cute football coach and has to deal with the kids he never knew in the meantime. I absolutely loved it. I'm really tempted to go see it again even though it's in the expensive theatre. It's a Spanish movie, called Chef's Special in English (Fuera de Carta). If it appears around your neck of the woods, you should definitely check it out. Allow me to entice you with a little picture.




In yet other news, ohmygod is it hot here. And it's not really that hot. Just mid 80s, but it feels really unbearable. I'm used to wearing shot sleeves in high 60s now. Man, can I not live here anymore. My body is set to London temperature now. And soon it'll be set to Chicago temperature. Brrr! Although hearing the coquies (cute, little frogs we have here) and hearing the rain fall through the foliage is so refreshing.

These days they milk shows for all they're worth. It's rare that a show can keep going for so long without being canceled, so they'll just keep making 'em until people get sick of it, they run out of story ideas, ratings drop, and the network cancels it. Seriously, when *is* Smallville going to end?! I stopped watching it after the second season or so, I could've sworn it would've ended by now. It started out really nicely and it got weirder and weirder as it went, but I guess people still dig it!

Reaper's getting cancelled?! Nooooo! Jeez, first Pushing Daisies and The Middleman, now Reaper and Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. You're killing me, TV! *weeps*

Smallville.. I've thought that show was dead and gone sooo many times, but somehow it's still around. It can't go on for too much longer, though. Seriously. I mean, he doesn't even live in Smallville anymore- shouldn't they at least change the name to Metropolis? Heh, maybe they'll start up a new show with that title and just keep on rolling... *weeps some more*

I haven't gotten around to seeing Star Trek a second time. It.. well, it feels like a movie you should see with other people, and, as of this moment, I don't really have anyone to go with. Yeah. I suck. Fuera de Carta sounds adorable, though I'd be shocked to see it in any theater around here.

What's going on exactly with you now? Are you done with MA and London? Sorry if I pissed you posting on that....

Isn't Kirk the guy that played Alvarez on Oz? Why was he fired? Not that I even watch Fringe...

I know, I'm so mad about all the good stuff that was canceled, most of them way too soon. I mean, The Unusuals only got 5 episodes! *bitter*

Ooh that looks like an interesting movie. I wonder if it'll show up online at some point...

You're coming to Chicago? Cool! That's where I want to live someday, before I move to California. :)
