well Rock It is going alright, although last week was a little slow, I hope that the numbers pick up again tonight. it has been a little hard to adjust to it being a weekly event, but i think it will get easier as time goes on.

i have been getting completely hooked on a couple of tv shows (the Office, Battlestar Galatica and Heroes). Heroes is the first show in a long time that i have actually made time for while it is on network tv. commercials and the previews for the next week are killing me, they almost destroy the show entirely. plus, at least so far the show has proved pretty inconsistent, one moment it is totally amazing (japanese guy showing up from the future as some kind of ninja) the next it is almost laughably bad (the promo for next week with the message from the future). meanwhile i have been watching the office and battlestar on netflix and they are both very amazing plus the whole no commercials thing makes them even better.

Rock It! goes off again tonight, and hopefully it is just going to build on the success of last week. I am pretty confident that more people will show up, the weekly thing really seems to be helping people to get stoked about it. I had planned on going to sac and doing some record shopping today, but my sister borrowed my car to go to santa cruz, so it looks like i will be out of luck.

Half Nelson left the varsity already, and that bums me out, that was a movie that i was really looking forward to. I think I might be the only person who isn't totally going apeshit over the new Gondry movie, I want to see it eventually, but I feel like his movie are a bit too much of a head trip sometimes. they are always beautiful and interesting, but they sorta fall into the requiem for a dream catagory, great movie but i don't really want to re-watch it all that much.

I am almost done with the first season of Rome and I feel a little bummed about it, I don't know what happened but somehow after about the first 4 episodes my opinion started to change for the worse. I am going to stick with it and finish the season but I don't really have high hopes.

I have started watching network television again and it is weird experience. I really like the show "Heroes" but that is mainly because I am a comic-book nerd at heart. I saw one episode of the show "Jericho" and it seemed like it might have potential, but it is on a night that I normally work, so I won't get many chances to see if it actually pans out.
