At the moment, watching the Oscars on my non-cable, digital-ready tv – which was always the plan anyway, sort of – but became the reality once ABC Disney pulled the plug off its station on Cablevision.
When I visit my cable tv, it is strange to see no ABC.  Kind of amazed that someone (namely, [...]

Well, the end of the Olympics.  Kudos for Canada’s men’s hockey team for winning gold.  Kudos to Team USA for putting the effort to try to beat Team Canada.
Although, this meant that President Obama owed Prime Minister Harper a case of Molson’s beer for losing the friendly bet.  Oh well.
The pictures on tv of Canadians [...]

I’m probably watching too much or too little Olympics; or, rather, like everyone else, grumbling about why NBC’s coverage is so… schizophrenic (yeah, I know, it’s to get that casual viewer; but must you keep switching from ski jump to snowboarding and then back to figure skating in a three hour stretch?  The last 10 [...]

I’m still not sure of what to make of a lot of the Super Bowl commercials this year.  (check out the coverage by Time’s James Poniewozik reviewing of the stuff) – I mean, really – two consecutive commercials of guys in their underwear?  Has the economy gone that bad to give us this crap?…
But, kudos [...]

May the best team win in Super Bowl 44 in Miami.  I’m rooting for Indianapolis, but New Orleans has the feel-good story, what with their own team history and their city’s history.  This Angry Asian Man blog post has some links to great articles about Scott Fujita, who’s a player on the New Orleans Saints; [...]

I had posted my comments about the season premiere of “Lost” (and the series generally) on David Bianculli’s website/blog, “TV Worth Watching,” which I’ll link here, and re-post below, for Triscribers’ reading pleasure!   Be warned – I rambled a bit, but generally, I really enjoyed the season premiere (even if it was a little boring [...]

As Time’s James Poniewozik notes: Happy “Lost” Day! It’s the return of “Lost.”  I’m confused as ever, with tons of questions, as usual.  ‘Nuff said.
Apologies to Conan O’Brien: I’m still cynical.  Why should it be any surprise that Vanity Fair’s cover on “New Hollywood” – to cover the rise of new actresses – lacks diversity, [...]

I can’t believe it’s really February already.
I’m becoming addicted to the chips from Food Should Taste Good (interesting review of the chips).
Hat tip from Angry Asian Man: a cool profile on Grant Imahara from “Mythbusters” on Discovery Channel.
Another hat tip from Angry Asian Man (and here too): Yet another one of those “What is it [...]

But there was no mistaking [Justice John Paul Stevens'] basic message.  “The rule announced today — that Congress must treat corporations exactly like human speakers in the political realm — represents a radical change in the law,” he said from the bench.  “The court’s decision is at war with the views of generations of… Americans.” [...]

“All I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people that watch: Please do not be cynical.  I hate cynicism.  For the record, it’s my least favorite quality.  It doesn’t lead anywhere.  Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get.  But if you work really hard [...]
