September and TV SHOWS!

September 11, 2010
I get dinner at night with CNF at the Korean restaurant past White Castle. Busy place, good food, close, a new go to spot. CNF decides to stay in for the night and I plan on going into the city with Bola, Kenny, and Miah.
I split from them to go to a B-day party that I have to go to. We go to White Rabbit, a bar/lounge in the LES. Atron shows up too and the kid is too funny. He mentions the "girl with piercings" that he's seen before. I tell him that she has a name, but "piercings girl" is all he's stuck on.
I can tell that our hero has a new theory that contends with Einstein's Theory of Relativity: Piercings and/or tattoos = crazy in bed
The Atron has been trying to bag one I guess. I tell him, "She's with her boyfriend and he's hanging with her right there, you can see." His response, "So?" This continues when he explains that he'd take her over "Shit don't stink" girl. (Inside joke.)
He even goes as far as to say, "We exchanged a look or something when I said "Hi."" Delusions of grandeur would be an understatement.
Atron and I skeeve off loads of champagne and then split in hopes of catching up with everyone at Candace's friend's thing that's nearby. I let Atron lead the way and wander around for a bit. Kenny and Miah had left already and we meet Stefan and Bola outside. We wander around like crazy and finally walk over to The Library for a beer and then time to head back.
By the way, I've been out of commission from the city for a while and dah-yaamm, the honies were out tonight. That is all.

I want to get dinner and see some Subway coupons downstairs so I decide to go there. On the drive there, I change my mind and go to the newly opened mall across from H Mart. I go upstairs to the food court that has two counters, one is Korean and the other is Korean Chinese food. I take the nice lady’s advice and get a bibimbap. It comes with a huge hot rock pot like at a restaurant. There’s a side of kimchi and pickled turnip and a soup. A bit cheaper than a restaurant ($11 and no tip), but for a quality meal and fix ins. Very good stuff and I take half of it home.
Review time:
Kombucha Passionberry Bliss: An expensive ($3+ for 16 fl oz.) tea that’s supposed to have all these health benefits and what not. Really though, waste of money. I’m glad that it’s not sweetened to the bones, which makes it better than most other “tea” products out there. However, this stuff doesn’t even taste like tea. It tastes a lot like watered down vinegar or a watered down fruity wine. Meh.
Kinder Buenos: On Ela’s suggestion, I decided to on a candy hunt at H Mart after checking out the mall. They’re a thin shell of chocolate and wafer with a heavy cream filling inside of hazelnut. A very good candy bar. I’m impressed by the packaging and how easy it is to open them and how each chocolate “finger” is individually packaged inside the actual package. Works out perfect since I portion my chocolate eating.

New shows this season.
Shit My Dad Says: Will Shatner and some young guy. Horrible sitcom. 5 minutes deep. Delete it.
My Generation: A “mockumentary” that just comes off as a boring drama. Cool concept and all, but it doesn’t work. Delete.
Nikita: Not a great show, but a pretty cool action/conspiracy show. If people like 24, I don’t see how this isn’t comparable. Maggie Q and Lyndsy Fonseca are by far the best eye candy a TV show has seen a long time. Maggie Q is way freaking kick ass awesome. Better than the usual stiff horrible actress that only looks good.
Always Sunny in Philly: Too awesome. First episode of the season completely had me laughing crazy.
Chase: Boring cop drama about US Marshalls.
Detroit 187: Boring cop drama, set in Detroit.
Better with You: Boring sitcom. Reminds me of How I Met Your Mother, but about relationships, marriage, sisters, and just boring.
Outsourced: Not as racist as it could be, but still a bit boring. It’s about a white guy that gets outsourced to India to manage a call center.

September 29, 2010
No Ordinary Family: It’s the Fantastic Four, but trying to be “fun” and about family. It’s not bad.
Blue Bloods: A so-so cop drama, but I’m excited to see what happens with it because it involves family and a conspiracy group inside the force. We’ll see where it goes.
Outlaw: Stupid bad show. A Supreme Court Justice quits his job and takes cases he “cares” about. Eli Stone was a great take on that. Btw, few people remember that show. Go back and watch it, very good.
The Defenders: Probably the most promising of the court shows. Belushi and OConnell work pretty well on camera.
Running Wilde: Pretty disappointing. Not very funny.
Raising Hope: Feels a bit like My Name is Earl. Trashy hillbilly people in a comedy, this time about a young single father raising a kid.
Mike and Molly: Cookie cutter shitty sitcom, but I actually liked it. It’s about a new couple that met each other in an Over Eater’s meeting. Two very very fat people. I don’t know, hopefully the fat jokes slow down a bit and we get more insight into these characters dealing with their eating problems.
Lone Star: One of the best shows so far. A conman that wants a “real” life, yet married to two different women. He has to balance those lives as well as fighting with his father, who has taught him everything about conning.
The Event: Seems more Fringe than Lost. Probably going to be bad, yet the nerds want to love it because they miss Lost.
The Whole Truth: Another courtroom drama. Boring.
Sons of Anarchy: One of the best shows to come out in years. Start watching if you haven’t already.
Terriers: Another one of the best new shows this season. Very refreshing. Love Donal Logue.
Chuck: This show has really gone down the drain. I’m not longer watching. Fuck it.
Boardwalk Empire: Unbelievable pilot. Surprised that it’s not a David Simon show, it feels a lot like one. Extremely cinematic. Going to be the best show of the new decade.
