- I enjoyed the premiere of The Shield’s final season this week. It was a slow start considering the pacing of the previous episode, but it laid some brilliant groundwork for future story lines. I’m thinking Shane lives, Ronnie goes off the deep end, Vic and Acevada take down the Mexican cartel in a very bloody fashion and Dutch finally goes to jail for strangling neighborhood cats.
- Finding a new place to live on Craigslist has been disappointing to say the least. Trying to make a long distance connection with a potential roommate is somewhat dampened by the anonymity of the Internet. Ugh…
- I had some of the worst sushi in my life today. Japanese marinated mushrooms might sound tasty, but the ones I ate were the consistency of rubber and completely flavorless. Yelp is going to get a mouthful of unhappy words from me this week.
- True Blood on HBO was an offbeat show. It reminded me the feeling I got when watching Carnivale for the first time. The oddball choice of setting in the deep south is strangely interesting. I doubt it will make it past a couple seasons though. Entourage was excellent as usual. Eric looks a bit like a clone of Ari though.
- I’m really crossing my fingers for iPhone’s 2.1 firmware this week. It’s rumored to be coming out with the new version of iTunes on the 9th. I’d love to see turn-by-turn GPS implemented, but any other super secret iPhone powers will be welcome.
- My favorite Hulu video of the week: Taco bed!
