Wow… I watched this movie, after seeing the game mentioned on Slashdot and Penny Arcade, and I was indeed in awe. This, as much as any Final Fantasy game, may be the thing that makes the PS3 a must-have for me.

I officially hate Ghost Whisperer. At the end of last season’s ending episode, Andrea, the best friend and co-store-owner of the protagonist, Melinda, dies. She doesn’t know she’s dead at first, but she figures it out right at the end. When I watched that, I cried. So, I’m five minutes into the season opener and I’m torn between screaming and praising the writers for their skills at emotional manipulation. Melinda tells Andrea that she’s not dead yet, that she’s in a coma. (They have had spirits outside of bodies before when close to death, so it’s not outside the continuity.) Then there’s a panicked moment where Some Bad Thing is happening, and suddenly Melinda wakes up. It was a dream. She turns and tells her husband that she dreamt that he’d found Andrea’s body and that she wasn’t dead yet. So now we know that wasn’t actually true.
So, dead. Not dead. Dead.
…
As I said, I’m screaming at and praising the writers, in the same breath.

I don’t know how it is my WoW friends find these things, but one of them posted this link today:

So, there’s a new show on CBS called “The Class” that I caught on the Tivo preview (and then the actual pilot was Monday night or so, I think.) It’s got that whole ensemble thing going for it, and I’d think their goal is to be the next Friends. Considering that I haven’t found anything comedic that interests me in a while, I decided to give it a shot

So, I’ve made the switch over to WordPress, more or less. I have mirror blogs (in theory) at Blogspot and at Livejournal, though only the Blogspot one has posts. Once I figure out cross-posting, they’ll all be about the same.
I’ve found a look that I like, though I haven’t done any customizing yet. That’s still to come.
Oh! I was real surprised that there’s an import from Blogger option, so all my posts from the last year have already been moved over, with comments and everything. Though it took two tries to completely succeed, it was amazingly easy.
