Keith Olbermann’s Special comment on the FISA law and George II and Darth Cheney.
Keith is the best newscaster currently on the air.
There will be a new Serenity comic starting in March for another 3 month run. Wayne at Time Warp keeps being amazed at how all things Wheadon go in to multiple runs (the first Serenity Comic was 3 the new Buffy is currently in it 5th run for the first issue), so he made a huge order for this one expecting it to sell out like the first one.
So, go and place your orders now! 
I was smacked down by sickness when I went to bed Sunday, so I stayed home Monday (No cold meds and lozenges in the house, so needed to wait for the stores to open) and decide to read (as I figured would be the case) Persepolis 1 & 2 that were on the counter at Time Warp and watch MI-5 (Spooks) series 5 that I received for my birthday.
Persepolis 1 & 2 were great. Funny, sad and scary graphic novel autobiographies of/by Marjane Satrapi and her life up to 25 when she left Iran for the last time. Well worth the read and an interesting perspective on the world, and now I can go and see the movie.
Now on the other hand MI-5 series 5 started off well enough with the first two episodes finishing off the cliff hanger from Series 4. And as per normal for Mi-5 (and the one thing that is its strength) it killed off a Main Character. The first two Eps dealt with a wholly believable scenerio of a Coup in the UK and the steps taken to achieve it. Sadly the same scenerio would also work in the U.S. and would most likey be successful. The way it ended was a bit far fetched, since things like that would not get any air play on the 24 hour news cycle, but then again the UK has the BBC so maybe it would work out that way there.
One of the things that I find amusing is how the U.S. is portrayed in the series versus how it is portrayed in the U.S. shows, and personally I find the U.K. versions far more believeable.
Now all was rolling along swimmingly until I hit Disk 3 (of 5). It would not play past the FBI/ID placards on the DVD player. So I popped it on the laptop and it would not play there either. I opened the DVD files and played them. One episode (two episodes per disk) was a repeat from disk 2, and Episode 6 was there
*That* is the magical number.
Now it is time for the parodies.
The Tom Cruise parody below the cut.
This weekend was the Big 12th night and 13th night party at the Consortium. Margie did a wonderful job on the food, with the Ceviche Shrimp being my fave for the night.
Showed up early to help out on setting up of foody bits
Bahktess dinged 62 and still no bigger pony. **pout**
Sounds like it is going to take a massive effort of slogging through Scholomance repeatedly until 4 more Dark Runes are found.
Almost done with the Hellfire Peninsula quest chain and will be able to move on to the next zone in a night or two.
Two Previews that were new for me and look good. One is a Romantic Comedy just in time for Valentines Day ( as in it is being released on Valentines Day), and the other is a French Cartoon movie that looks creative and entertaining.
Definitely, Maybe stars Rachel Weisz and Ryan Reynolds (Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place) that looks sweet. Reynolds is getting a divorce and his daughter asks a simple question
