I am glad for tv season again

Published on September 29, 2008 at 13:19. Tags: , , .

I am glad that the tv viewing season is back in full swing. Heroes started last week and The Unit premiered last night. These are the main two shows that are my must sees, but I think that I could use one more added in for good measure, and I am leaning towards NCIS.

It seems that Heroes is going to be really dark this season which is needed. Featuring the villians is a needed change of pace and should make for a great season.

The Unit. I was giddy waking for the show to come on. There is a big plot point that looks as if it is going to change the format to one where each week is connected to the previous one instead of each week being a clean slate. I think that it should be fine with this change, as I doubt if David Mamet and Eric Haney will let the show go to hell in a handbasket.

Are any of you NCIS watchers? I watched some on dvr when I was in tx for my reunion, and I really liked it. I am going to give it a go this Tuesday and see what I think.

Any other tv suggestions?

Help a worthy Cause

Published on September 25, 2008 at 02:50. Tags: , , .

Oleg Volk is a major supporter of the Right To Keep Bare Arms movement here in the U.S.
He is the founder of www.thehighroad.org, a major pro-gun web forum.

His words:

Going to court.
In December 2002, I founded The High Road forum dedicated to the advancement of responsible gun ownership. Recently, it was discovered that in 2006, the volunteer forum systems administrator, Derek Zeanah of Statesboro, Georgia, changed domain registration to himself. After he was confronted, Derek locked out all other staff from accessing the Web server administration and would not share even backup copies of its content. After failed attempts to peacefully resolve the dispute, it has become necessary for me to initiate a lawsuit against Derek Zeanah for the return of thehighroad.org domain name and the forum database.

I am seeking and would greatly appreciate donations to help with the cost of litigation. You can use Paypal (olegvolk@gmail.com) or send a check to:
Oleg Volk 3112 Chambley Ct Hermitage, TN 37076

All donations shall be returned if the lawsuit is ultimately avoided. You can also aid me by re-posting this appeal on your blog, forum or web site. My legal position is already endorsed by almost all of The High Road staff as well as Rich Lucibella, the founder of The Firing Line forum.

I have been in a very odd mood today. I haven’t really been out to do anything with people since Dragon*Con and I think that is starting to wear on me. In a way it has been this way since I stopped doing the superhero costuming. Everyone communicates through the message boards of their group, so I am out of the loop. I guess with the preparations for Dragon*Con I didn’t really notice it as much beforehand as I had plenty to be working on and stuff to keep me occupied. I really need to get out of this funk. I hate being like this.

Soreness ensues

Published on September 21, 2008 at 23:09. Tags: , , , , .

Yesterday I participated in the Colombian Blend airsoft event at the local field. This was an event that went from 9 in the morning until 10 at night. It was a great time, which involved me shooting many people, but also getting shot myself. I didn’t get shot too many times, but a few of them were in the face. Thank goodness that we have to wear eye protection, or I would be sans vision from the right eye. Here is a picture of the aftermath.

Today, I am paying for the great time, as in I am sore as can be. I am taking today to sleep and let let my muscles take a break.

Nashville is still in that whole, there is no gas anywhere thing. I find the whole thing rather funny. I filled up my car last Monday, and since then have used it a total of 1/8th a tank. I have taken the bike whenever I can, and over an entire week, I only traveled about 80 miles, not counting my trip to and from airsoft yesterday, mainly because I don’t feel like going to my car to look at how far I traveled. People are going crazy and filing up if they start their car. If people would go back to their normal routine, there wouldn’t have been a problem at all. This was taken on Friday.

This was the line of cars madly merging lanes in order to follow the gas truck into the gas station. I was laughing at this as I was riding down the street. The panic is rather funny. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon.

My parents still don’t have power. Supposedly they will get it back on Tuesday, but they have no guarantee. They have their generator, and have been able to cook on the gas grill, so they have bee fine, but wishing there was some AC at times.
