Low expectations

Sometimes I just have to say it. Which is why I created this blog years ago.

My plans have grown for this blog...since I watch so little actual TV these days it seemed more appropriate to include commentary on anything I consume on a screen.

Here are the screens currently in my house :

  • LG projector in the living room (105" projection TV/Roku/Chromecast and Uverse 300)
  • 42" LCD television in the bedroom (with OTA antenna, Roku/Chromecast)
  • 24" LED television in the bedroom (unplugged)
  • 22" Android tablet on the kitchen wall
  • 22" Acer LED monitor (attached to a Chromebox)
  • Kindle DX
  • Kindle (small one not the paperwhite)
  • Nexus 10
  • Nexus 7
  • Samsung Infuse 4G used as a music player
  • Galaxy S4 as my cell phone
Quite ridiculous really. I live in a 800 sq ft condo! But then again, I'm a single guy. :)

All that being said, don't expect alot here. I watch a lot of bad TV. My current list of favorite shows (watching online or DVR)
  • Dance Moms
  • Bring It
  • Kim of Queens
  • Masterchef
  • Hells Kitchen
  • Barefoot Contessa
  • Big Bang Theory
  • Family Guy/American Dad
  • Project Runway
  • Rachel Maddow Show
  • RuPaul's Drag Race
I LOVE the app Pocket Casts on Android! I use it to stream and sync playback with my favorite podcasts:
  • Windows Weekly
  • This Week in Tech
  • This Week in Google
  • Security Now
  • What's the T
I also recently finished reading the Martian by Andy Weir. Excellent book. I've decided I love reading using the Kindle app on my Nexus 10 the best, with my little Kindle in second place.

I learned from reading that book why I don't read much fiction. When I get sucked into the story I can't put the book down and read for hours at a time. Not good if you want to have a productive weekend!

Dancing With Rocco, Week 2 - Yahoo! News

Dancing With Rocco, Week 2 - Yahoo! News

I am not a foodie. I never saw the Restaurant. But after watching Dancing with the Stars I have a HUGE crush on Rocco DiSpirito. He's good looking and has a great personality!

YouTube - New Kids on the Block Interview on The View 9-2-2008

YouTube - New Kids on the Block Interview on The View 9-2-2008

Note everyone'e responses to Sherry's question "What have you been doing?" Sad sad sad. I thought Jonathan would come out and confirm that he's gay and proudly talk about he and his bf of many years. Instead nothing. Every other guy there talked about making babies and having wifes/gfs whatever. When it got to him he said nothing. Nothing like having to stay camped out in the closet.

Reminds me of my 10 yr HS reunion. Everyone going around talking about wives and kids. I thought to myself f*ck that shit... no reason to be ashamed or afraid to let them know about me. Honestly the whole thing was very annoying from my perspective. I don't care about your spouse or children. How are YOU doing?

Ok that was like two topics in one post.

I do think it's sad that Jonathan wasn't allowed to come out. The way Sherry worded the question it was almost like she was perfectly setting it up. Skip to 4:30 and watch Elisabeth totally skip Jonathan and then he doesn't even answer the question.

One of my favorite movies has some Webisode sequals online. Watch out! This will shock and offend you if you do not understand Gay culture.
