Man, I gotta say, I was a bit nervous coming into the game, but Carolina went into Duke’s house and played a pretty good game. With that win, we’ve won 3 straight at Cameron Indoor Stadium! I think the Heels had more blocks in that game than any other one this season by leaps and bounds – just wish we had capitalized a bit better on some of those throughout the game. In the end though, our defense and some key shots won it for us. Danny Green, as per usual as of late, hit some of those key shots.
TCongrats to the Heels for becoming the Regular Season ACC Champs. That’s another banner to hoist for the Heels. Hopefully, we’ll have a couple more to hoist before the Heels stop playing basketball this year. I love this time of year, especially when my Tar Heels are #1 in the nation going into post-season play!
So we’re sitting here watching last night’s American Idol and for the second show in a row, I’m bored to tears. I’m just not engaged this year one iota. None of the contestants are standing out to me. There’s not a single contestant I’d waste my time and effort to call in and vote for! The bickering between the three judges is tired. Randy is lame. Paula is incomprehensible, and… well I usually agree with still. Plus, I’m so tired of Fox dragging the show out night after night *and* Fox’s shameless self-promotion and product placement.
So anyway, I’m bored with the show and I think Amanda’s getting there too. I’m this close to cancelling TiVo’s season pass. The show’s run its course. They ignited the careers of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry. Now it’s time to close the curtain on the show.
Added Comments (Amanda): Yeah, I am totally done with American Idol. I was so frustrated and utterly bored last night with the performances, lack of talent, the bickering between the judges, the goofy youthfulness of the contestants… the whole thing was annoying and old. They’ve worn out their welcome for sure. Long gone are the days of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry.
Chris Berman went ballistic off the air. I would have never thought he had this in him, but man, does he go off. The best part is the first couple seconds where he can’t even finish a sentence he’s so pissed.
You definitely can see tumbleweeds floating across our TiVos, majorly due to the writers’ strike. Typically, we’d be knee-deep in new primetime shows to watch in the evenings – “Prison Break”, “24,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice,” “Smallville,” etc. to name a few. Instead, we’re scrounging for things to watch most nights.
We have started watching “Holmes on Homes” (no it’s not a porn!) and “It Takes a Thief”, but they get old, and it looks like “It Takes a Thief” is defunct now too. I don’t mind more Xbox 360 time, but Amanda does.
This is amazing, and an amazing amount of work to film and composite this all. Basically, three guys wanted to recreate a landing scene, but it was literally the three of them. So they filmed themselves, the props, effects, etc. all by themselves and then did a bunch of compositing to come up with a pretty cool scene. “Saving Private Ryan” eat your heart out.
Man, it did seem like the Heroes season was short, but they did kind wrap it up. Were there supposed to be more episodes in the second chapter. Sucks about 24, but 24 kind of needed a reboot anyway. Maybe this will give them time to retool. Jack Bauer’s, I mean Kiefer Sutherland’s incarceration probably didn’t help matters on that show either. But yeah, we’re already starting the see the tumbleweeds blowing on the Now Playing lists of our TiVos. It’s about time to start up our Netflix account again, albeit a bit earlier this year.
How much you want to bet this is the unit TiVo is going to recommend for those of us on a SDV system? Now let’s hope for:
1. A bug-free unit
2. Cooperation/compatibility with the cable companies (that means you, Time Warner)
3. Full compatibility with HD TiVo / Series 3
4. Affordable price
5. Ability to tune into two channels (for those of us with dual tuner TiVos)
TiVo and Motorola, if you’re listening, I’d love to beta test! I want my ESPN2 HD and Universal HD back!
