A new show that I'm into (what is up with these dancing posts root?), from MTV. It's called America's Best Dance Crew.

First one up is from the west side and holy bullet action batman, that's insane! You have to watch at least the beginning of their routine.

My next favorite one is because of their geeky Starwars reference and their great ending. Jello + Street Fighter? Awesomeness.

And I save the best for last (even though the video/audio quality is poor). Really great routine and it reminded me of the Tomas Crown Affair (newer one), which is one of my fav movies. This upload really doesn't do it justice.

With that out of the way, some of you might have heard that I'm travelling. I'm actually in North Carolina doing IBM training. Because I'm out of the house and not having things to do after work (or in this case training), I've had some free time. Finally got a story idea and I've picked up the metaphoric (electronic) pen again. Got one chapter down, (yay!), and going through the editing process. Got an outline down for book 1 and I'm liking it. And for those of you who don't know--or haven't guessed by now--I'm a writer by hoby.

Which I'm shocked by the quality of this Holiday Inn Express in Triangle Park. Perhaps I've just had some bad experiences with--whoa. Just saw Step Up 2's trailer. Jesus, that's sexy. Heh. Where was I? Oh yeah. Hotel. They got a shuttle service, 5 miles out you can go anywhere for free. Woot! Bar time!

But it is boring, and thus I brought my Netflix movies. Speaking of, I sitll owe those two reviews don't I?

Well I've watched "John Tucker Must Die" which was actually funny, but the ending was poorly done in my opinion and the story direction has been done a million times already. Still funny though.

The other one I've watched is "Final Contract". For the love of God don't rent it. Had maybe 2-3 funny parts but that's it. I put it just a little better than "Cat Woman". You heard me, a little better. Have you ever watched Cat Woman (Ms. Berry)? If not, you must watch it to understand the ultimate rating scale of badness. Like "Ultra Violet" bad.

My third movie that I've yet to watch is classic "Reservior Dogs". I know. I know. I haven't seen it yet but I know a number of it's refrences. I'll probably watch it tomorrow night. I fly back Saturday night, unfortunately.

Until I get back from NC,

Friend me.

I've just watched 2 more movies that I still need to review ("War" and "Lucky You") but first WGA.

Looks like because of the Directors Guild Association's (DGA) recent pending deal with AMPTP (you know, that group that's against WGA), WGA (that's the writers guild) is thinking about taking up talks again. Rumor has it, this week they could be getting back to talks (Reportedly today they would but no word yet on if they did or didn't).

Speaking of WGA, I just finished watching Cane, a CBS series thats a little old but pretty good drama. Has enough "family mafia" flare to it to peek my interest. It's well worth watching the thirteen episodes.

And speaking of TV shows (you liking my transitioning skillzz0rz?), I just got hooked into the new Terminator series. Whoa. Gotta give props to the writer. And I love the Serenity/Firefly hottie. And if you don't know who I'm talking about, shame on you. I take your geek card away.

No really. Shame on you.

If you are one of those few who have never seen both movie/tv shows, then the only way to get back into my good graces (and earn back your geek card) is to bribe me with a new shirt.You gotta admit, that is aw3som3.

On a serious note, I'd like everyone to send their prayers to the family of Heath Ledger. May you Rest In Peace.

Until I get less serious,

root of all evil : Netflix
