Shoulda posted this yesterday, it was done.

The Sopranos - Moe and Joe - This season has great shows but I'm still waiting for that big "WoW" factor. Ooops, I actually mean wow and not World of Warcraft. Carmellas going to be pissed at Tony if she finds out about her spec house. And Christopher's gonna be pissed about losing his car. And with Vito coming back, next week might be a really good episode.

CSI:NY - All Access - Seriously, Kid Rock. Isn't his 15 minutes up yet? I liked the other story line with Bonasera and her boyfriend and everything, that was pretty good, but the kid rock storyline was VERY weak, IMO. It felt like that found out someone that used to be famous WOULD do the show and quickly threw together something for him.

Penn & Tellar Bullshit! - Reparations - I liked how they basically couldn't say much in this episode because of hate mail, no matter which side they took. They eventually did take sides, but used other people to tell their story. I also agreed with their conclusions in this episode. The show is entertaining, but they're not good at making an argument. If you agree with their point of view going in (as I usually do) you'll agree coming out. If you disagree, you'll most likely disagree coming out as well.

The Simpsons - The Monkey Suit - Springfield outlaws teaching of Evolution and only Creationism is allowed. Ned Flanders is convinced at the end of the episode, if only it was this easy for everyone. FSM (that's Flying Spaghetti Monsterism for the non-inducted) all the way, baby arrgghhhh.

Diggnation - Episode 45 - Live from E3. Yes, more E3, but honestly, even they knew everyone was bored by it. Dr. Tiki of Tiki Bar TV showed up, which was awesome. WB is going to be sharing movies via Bittorrent, we'll see how the DRM is on it. Short episode, no viewer emails. I can't wait for the new duck-hunt, it's enough reason THERE to get a Wii.

Systm - Episode 6 - Makerfaire - The show starts off with Patrick Norton firing a flame thrower. Yeah, this show rocks. Ok, the Maker Faire looks neat and there is tons of cool stuff that I'll never be able to build myself :)

Daily Show - 5/15 - Goes off on the NSA spying thing and Fox News complete and total rolling over on this issue and letting this administration tell them what is right instead of doing their jobs and being journalists. Howard Dean (who is crazy) was a pretty good guest because he said things I liked. He's still nuts, though.

Daily Show - 5/16 - Makes fun of Bush's speech about Border Security. "There is a rational middle ground" too bad he doesn't believe that about everything. Wasn't a fan of the Samantha Bee report. Denis Leary is really funny.

** MUSIC **

Ok, not really a music review, but this is my new favorite toy! http://www.evillabs.sk/evillyrics/ When playing music from Winamp (or some other programs, I know Justin has gotten it to work with J. River Media Center) it searches the internet and finds the lyrics to the current song being played. Yeah, awesome, I know. It finds about 80% of my stuff. Which, really, is pretty damn good when you consider the eclectic music I'm listening to. Most times, if this program can't find the lyrics, I can't find them doing my own google searches. It's finding 95-98% of my "normal" music, Green Day, Billy Joel, Beatles, etc, so that's pretty good.
