So this week, USA and NBC (same company) have changed their watermarks at the bottom of the screen from the normal to green. They do this to promote “green week.” What does this mean? Nothing!
<– they changed to something like this –>
I’m using NBC as an example, but plenty of companies have been pushing this green nonsense. To show just how dumb and full of crap this is, I have decided to make the top of my website green for “green week.” For me, what does this mean? The same thing: nothing. All I have is the top of my website now green. I don’t plan on conserving energy by turning things off that I’m not using. I don’t plan on making any more effort to recycle. I’m not going to reuse any paper towels. Who cares what I do though? I have green on my website somewhere! Green marketing is a sham. Telling people to use paper bags for a week and those weird looking bulbs that last longer isn’t going to save the world, sorry.

True Blood - So Will looks as though he is going to become a maker. Most of this season, I (along with most others) thought Sam was going to reveal himself as a werewolf. Instead, he’s a shape-shifter, although acknowledged the existence of werewolves and other things. I’m not sure how I feel about that jump. Also, the witch doctor who performed the exorcism, wouldn’t you have gotten you money back? Still no idea who the creeper is on the killing path. That “guilt is useless” thing was suspicious, however.
Sarah Connor Chronicles - I totally thought Cameron was gonna boink John when she lost her shirt and went in there with a see-through tank top. I thought the reason for him getting stuck in Mexico was weak. I would like to see where they plan on going with this story.
Heroes - Enough flashbacks. We get it, Arthur Petrelli is a bad guy. This episode filled in blanks I really didn’t need filled in. So we know how Arthur died…or didn’t die. We saw Sylar wrestling a little bit with killing people. We know that Claire’s mom is blue flame guy’s brother (I forget his name because he bored me). Let’s get on with the story already.
House - Nice seeing some more Cameron and Chase again. Are they going anywhere with this Cuddy and House thing though?
Supernatural - Does anyone have that glimmer of fear/hope that we will see a huge plot twist and Ruby will turn on Sam and Dean? I for one would be really shocked, although you can’t help but like her. Maybe she’ll be made an honorary angel or something. The show has gotten a little bit holy roller, but it’s still entertaining. Are they going to kill off Anna Milton right away? She’s pretty hot, I’d hate to see that. One thing I know I would like to see is Sam and Dean end the season by taking on Lucifer. I don’t want another Lord of the Rings, where we hear about a bad guy for a long time and then don’t actually get to see him/her.
Those are my thoughts for the shows this week. It would be nice if Pushing Daisies was on this week and not the Country Bumpkin Movie Awards or whatever that was.

Stephanie McMahon’s appearance couldn’t have been more obviously recorded. After they finished playing her video, I actually found myself excited about an Orton/Batista match.
When Santino pulled up what was no longer the Honky-meter, I knew the title was going to change hands. What I didn’t expect was Santino jobbing like he did. I also wasn’t thrilled with Regal cutting a major babyface promo just because he was in England.
Kane’s promo complete with references about pulling wings off of insects and birds was awesome, give this guy a long heel title reign just once, will you? We haven’t had an unstoppable monster champion since Yokozuna pretty much. Guys like Khali, Big Show, Brock Lesnar, all seem to have short runs. Yoko was the champion for the better part of a year. Regardless, we have yet another Rey Vs. Kane match, but this one is different because it’s going to be the last one.
D-Lo did a job to Knox, I wonder if he’s glad he came back this summer so he could take a lot of time off and then get squashed.
Kane and Rey have their match. It was entertaining, Rey botched something at the end, but we’ll forgive him. Rey took some nice bumps, now that he won, can we get passed this whole thing. The feud never really felt strong to me, it was like Kane picked Rey’s name out of a hat. Let’s move on.
Here I was excited about Orton/Batista. Before the match, we saw Cody Rhodes with Manu confront and slap Orton, as they are mad that he injured DiBiase last week. So what does Cody do that all angry people do? He replaced the person he’s angry with at work and gave him the night off. Now we have Cody Vs. Batista, 110 looking Cody against the ANIMAL BATISTA. What was the point of Batista coming out with a squash? I have no idea. I guess we’ll be paying for Otron/Batista at Survivor Series.
Beth Pheonix over Mickie James. No one cares.
After a 90 minute video about the feud between HBK and Y2J, we have a last man standing match. This of course is not exciting at all, as the title is not on the line. What if Michaels wins, wouldn’t he want a title match and for the feud not to be over? Hmm, these questions manifest their own answer, HBK won’t win. I was pretty surprised when I thought the match was over a few times and they’d be up at 8 or 9. JBL costs HBK the match.
Other thoughts: What do we do next? HBK Vs. JBL at Survivor Series? Batista and Orton as well? Who will win the title match? I think we’ve seen just about ever combination of these guys in recent history. What about CM Punk? Remember when he was world champion? Too bad he’s co-holder of the tag team titles now and get no actual TV time.
After some recreational use of a controlled substance which shall go unnamed, I embarked on trip to the kitchen for an attack of the munchies. When I arrived there, I decided it would be wise to make cookies. Based on a recipe for black and white cookies that I have not actually memorized, I altered the recipe in order to to make chocolate cookies of some sort. I mixed up ingredients and went at it. I also decided to throw some icing on top and made some as well. The icing came out correctly. The cookies, however, I do not think I have earned the right to call these cookies. I refrain from using the word “amaze” in my everyday vocabulary. To me, being amazed is a pretty high level of achievement. Amazing is a massive dose of either something going well, poorly, or wildly different. What I’m trying to get at is, I have amazed even myself this time. The product that came out of the oven can only be described as “Chocolate Bread.” Is anyone else truly amazed along with me?
As you can see…undaunted, I proceeded as planned and applied the icing. Chocolate bread with chocolate icing, I am the sum of a pioneer and an idiot.
Formerly a static page, evolution has made it a ...b-b-blog! I will leave stuff on here from now on and post links to arbitrary pages. Most of this stuff will be editorials about how I feel. Most of them are explicit, and you should be prepared for some language problems before you read...
