| Elais | heyas matt |
| MattH | Hiya CM...wish this thing beeped when someone joins up... ;-) |
| MattH | Watching Smallville or Lost? |
| Elais | misssed half of smallville because the channel wouldn't come in |
| Elais | watching lost |
| MattH | Well, that sucks... |
| Elais | doesn't look like I missed much on Smallville, though |
| Elais | I probably download the ep sometime |
| MattH | I admit I am pretty much unspoiled this time...not out of any desire to remain so, just lack of time.... |
| MattH | I have been watching Veronica Mars...think I am going to like that show...until it gets cancelled. |
| Elais | same here |
| Elais | lost might survive |
| MattH | Good ratings? |
| Elais | so far, it seems |
| MattH | Of course, being on network TV and not being a reality show is a strike against it.... |
| Elais | yeah...but ABC seems to have advertised the hell out of it |
| MattH | Yeah...and it kind of looks like the original Survivor...doubt the network execs are smart enough to tell the difference... ;-) |
| Elais | wish they put a little more action into it |
| Elais | get a volleyball game going |
| MattH | I tried to get into the pilot.....just couldn't. |
| Elais | oh well |
| Elais | Mars is the only show you like so far? |
| MattH | Thus far....dislike all of the flashblacks, but understand that they are necessary too. |
| Elais | I'm guess they'll won't be as necessary in upcoming eps |
| MattH | Yeah...as the mystery is revealed. |
| MattH | I miss the Buffy supernatural element, though..... |
| MattH | Do you like any of the new shows besides Lost? |
| Elais | Mars |
| Elais | desperate housewives might prove good |
| MattH | Really? |
| Elais | I've only seen the one ep of desperate housewives |
| MattH | The title makes me think of Danielle Steele for some reason. |
| Elais | not surprising |
| Elais | this could be thought of as a danielle steele novel of sorts |
| Elais | can't think of any other new show |
| Elais | lost and veronica mars are pretty much it |
| MattH | Nothing else is memorable...I am surprised that I liked any. |
| Elais | I watch Gilmore Girls |
| Elais | and will be watching Alias next year |
| Elais | oh, and Joan of Arcadia and Charmed |
| MattH | Just Stargate and Enterprise for me... |
| Elais | oh yeah, Stargate! |
| Elais | not the Atlantis one, though |
| Elais | I would have given Tru Calling a try this year, but fox has shelved it |
| MattH | I like Atlantis, though it is too much like the original. |
| Elais | oh, thanks for that link you gave me to the blog of of that sacramento bee columnist |
| MattH | Daniel Weintraub is pretty good.... |
| MattH | And you're welcome. |
| Elais | hey! Arnie in Red Heat! |
| Elais | god what a stupid haircut |
| MattH | Who? Arnold? |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | i don't know how to describe it |
| MattH | Do you have a link? |
| Elais | a pompadour? |
| Elais | don't have a link....Red Heat is on tv |
| MattH | Never mind...I saw it on imdb....It is a silly haircut |
| Elais | how can you take a guy lwith hair like that seriously? |
| MattH | Compared to Davis, Arnie could have hair like the Bride of Frankenstein and I wouldn't care. |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | did you watch the vice-prez debate? |
| MattH | He has been a good governor, all things considered. |
| MattH | Didn't watch either...read vodkapundit while he liveblogged it. Caught clips on talk radio today. |
| MattH | I think debates are totally overrated, anyway. |
| Elais | for partisans anyway |
| Elais | i think it might mean more to undecideds |
| MattH | Maybe....but the data one gets in a debate is very incomplete. |
| Elais | I didn't watch the debate, but it wouldn't have changed my vote anyway |
| Elais | debates aren't exactly built to spout complicated data |
| MattH | I would prefer to listen to debates as opposed to watching anyway. I think visual cues as such are distracting. |
| Elais | maybe if they had pie charts.... |
| MattH | Screw the pie charts...I just settle for pie... |
| MattH | I just think the emphasis on *appearance* detracts from focusing on issues... |
| Elais | true |
| MattH | Also, most issues can't be really covered in 2' with a 30 sec rebuttal. |
| MattH | TV ads are even worse. |
| MattH | Something like the Lincoln-Douglass debates would be interesting....each person speaks for 1 1/2 hrs or so and then alternates ... for 6 to 7 hours. |
| Elais | don't they do re-enactments of the Lincoln/Douglas debates? |
| Elais | I'm not sure I want to listen to Bush for that long |
| MattH | I wouldn't be surprised.... |
| MattH | Bush is actually a fairly decent speaker from a set speech...He gave a solid one today. |
| Elais | we have no patience these days |
| MattH | I think he has a speech impediment though |
| MattH | Yeah...I want patience....and I want it right now! |
| Elais | give Bush a script and time to prepare and he's very good |
| Elais | it will be interesting to see how he handles a 'town hall' type debate |
| MattH | He is supposed to be fairly decent in that type of setting. |
| MattH | I think he was just tired in the first debate. |
| Elais | really? I thought Bush wouldn't be able to handle questions not given to him in advance |
| MattH | Most of the problems he had with the 1st debate were style issues....people who heard the debate or read the transcript thought he did much better. |
| Elais | that seems to be typical |
| Elais | but as good as Bush does in the debates, I'm still not voting for him |
| MattH | Wasn't expecting you to..... |
| MattH | More on-topic, I hear Andy Hallet is doing much better... |
| Elais | yeah, I read his website today |
| Elais | good news |
| Elais | I hope that voice gig he got is still open |
| MattH | Voice gig? |
| Elais | check imdb |
| Elais | a animated movie about geppetto |
| MattH | Oh....I vaguelly recall something about that. |
| MattH | I am going to have to take off...my dinner is calling me.. |
| Elais | what does it call you? |
| Elais | honey bun? |
| MattH | mmmm....honey buns..... |
| MattH | Anyway, see you next week.... |
