Some reviews a new section, Misc, that I'm going to try.

Arrested Development - Season 1 and 2 - I'd only seen bits and pieces of this show up until now.  Yes, I know, that's blasphemy to a large part of the Internet crowd.  I knew I'd like the show, it's my kind of humor, and damn straight it's funny.  Laugh out loud funny at that.  The first two seasons are some of the best TV I've seen in a while, and the funniest comedy I've seen in a long time.  It's a different type of comedy, but remember how hard you'd laugh during the Mathew Perry Coke years?  When he was so high but everything that came out of his mouth was golden?  Yeah, I laughed like that during Arrested Development.  Wish I woulda watched it when it was on, maybe my one viewing could've prevented it from being canceled.

The Daily Show - 6/6/06 - 666 - Day of the Devil, or regular numerical sequence??? :)  Also the special guest (forget his name) and Stewart had a very interesting debate on Gay Marriage.  The guest firmly believed what he believed, and Stewart did the same.  I liked the debate and if you know me, you know which side I fell on.

Colbert Report - 6/6/06 - Decided to given Stephen another shot.  I'm starting to like him, we'll see if it continues.  I keep going back and forth with my liking or not liking of this persona he has.  I used to love Colbert on The Daily Show, and honestly, wish he would be a correspondent on that show again, but maybe the Report will grow on me some more if I give it time.

Discovery Channel - Did Aliens Build the Pyramids - Interesting question.  Didn't really like the show though because it was done TOO skeptically.  I think that it's probably that there wasn't an alien influence but I do recognize that it's possible.  And some of the most interesting questions were never answered, such as why the Great Pyramid is pointed exactly North-South (within 1/10 of a degree, pretty damn hard to do.)  It was still interesting though.  It would answer a lot of my personal religious questions if an alien influence is responsible for civilization as a whole, but that's an entirely different discussion.


*** MISC ***
This is for things that don't fit above categories.  I'll also be posting funny links and stuff like that in here when I find them.

Amazon Prime - This could possibly be the worst thing in the world, for someone like me.  Amazon has a deal that you spend 70 or 80 dollars to sign up for Amazon Prime.  You then get free 2-day shipping on just about everything (everything you would have recieved free shipping on orders 25 and more at least.)  So, yeah, the problem is that I tend to just buy stuff because I no longer need to get $25 of stuff before ordering.  So yeah, it's bad.  Luckily I'm in a free trial, don't know if I'll re-up or not.

YouTube - Death Star - Very funny YouTube video!
