207: why do you build me, buttercup...

As a comic book geek there are certain types of shows or series that I try to avoid. My primary rule is avoid "time travel" epics. Why?

Well frankly, every time travel series I have gotten into never has resolution. For example, I thought T2 was outstanding, and would have been a fantastic wrap up to the series. Our protagonist, Jon Connor had saved the world. But, there's still money to be made folks, so the villain, who in theory should never exist, comes back in time to screw things up again. Altering time lines, parallel universes, the rule that you can never contact yourself or you create a rip in the time/space continuum. UGH! The last thing I need in my life, is my geeky hobby providing me with no resolution.


that being said, I did watch the first two episodes of this, against my better judgement:






she is certainly an interesting character. And I was entertained, so against my own rules of geekness, against my own judgment, I'll be back for episode three.

Last night, I roared into the park. Sub freezing temperatures, snow showers all day, all I could think of was frozen hard packed trails. I dreamed of flowing through the woods, and making motorcycles noises as I accelerate out of all the fast frozen corners.

As I drove down the hill, I could see Todd (ex-pres) driving out of the park. He rolled down his window, I had hoped he was gonna tell me how great the trails are. My hopes were quickly dashed, "It's a swamp out there, still really wet, we need another day of frozen temps, we'll have to try again tomorrow" Ouch, that was a kick in the nuts for sure. All day I plowed through work, with the excited thought of riding in the woods tonight...

so I went home and watched the democratic debate. I'll try again tonight...

respect.
