Bye Live Jounal
I have come to the conclusion that I am tired of fighting w/ Live Journal every time I want to post something. Precious hours wasted, and more than one entry aborted because of the P.I.A factor. The straw that broke the camel's back here was trying to update my profile picture. ug. Enough. I am done fighting.

Abbreviated US Breweries Time Line
I've watched the Beer Wars documentary twice now. My head is still spinning from all the information thrown out at you.
Watching the documentary prompted me to want to get a better picture of the number of US breweries in operation:
Unless otherwise linked, all the information below was found on beeradvocate.com or beerinfo.com:- 1810: 132 US ( Read more... )

Heroes Premiere Tonight!!!
I am a big Heroes fan. Even during the slow seasons, the individual episodes were generally fantastic.
V.5 Redemption is spearheaded by a new production team, most notiblly Bryan Fuller (who wrote Heroes' most popular episode "Company Man"). From the below preview, it looks like they're embracing the "ordinary people" aspect again. Looks like they ( Read more... ) -
TV Shows That Will Never Be - Star Wars: The TV Series
I periodically find myself plotting a TV series version of the Star Wars movies. I know, y'all think I'm insane for sharing such an original concept that nobody has never ever thought of before ;)
I find myself thinking long and hard about what to keep, what to drop, back stories of the characters, what to expand on so the climatic scenes (season ( Read more... ) -

My DVR is going to be busy this fall...
In celebration of tonight's CW premieres and the first week of the 2009-10 TV season, thought I'd take a moment (or several) to share w/ y'all what I have reserved on my DVR priority list. Some shows I'm very excited about, some I am curious about, & some I have really high hopes for. w/o further ado:

RIP Good Shows Not Coming Back
The 2008-09 TV season was harsh ratings-wise. Genre shows were especially hit hard (which is an example of why I think the Nielsen method is flawed. All time highest movies are dominated by genre movies, & I find it hard nobody watches them at home?!). For today's entry, I wanted to take a moment of silence for all the good shows not returning this ( Read more... ) -
Differences between Neilsen and DVRs
This is not the what I initially intended for today's post. Originally I was going to post a side by side comparison of Nielsen actual ratings vs. TiVo's DVR most popular shows rankings. However, when I looked at the TiVo site, I discovered that I'm not the only one gearing up for the upcoming TV season. There are a lot of shows on TiVo's most ( Read more... ) -
History Repeating Itself?
Today while on a beer run to Beer Authority, I learned about the Beer Wars (trailer embedded below...I hope). In a nut shell it is about the how the evil giant breweries (all foreign owned, btw) are reacting to small, independent craft breweries saturation of the market. Essentially they declared war.
