Week in review.

trickykittyI watched my roommates die of the plague.
I watched an arts & crafts project provide some added hate, but I think I've been able to fix it easily enough.
I watched a lady flub my retirement fund paperwork so that I have to wait for new paperwork to arrive (or was that last week; I can't remember anymore, but I am still waiting on the new paperwork).
I watched the weather perform perfect 10 somersaults.
I watched my phone and hoped that it might ring with news of a job interview or a job offer, but it never did.
I watched the back of my eyelids keep opening and closing during class.
I watched my bank account resemble Y=1/X (where Y=bank account and X=time) as it inched closer and closer to zero.
I watched my PC games and books gather some more dust.
I watched Hell's Kitchen Season 1 (US).
I watched Hell's Kitchen Season 2 (US).
(Must to download Season 3.)
I will most likely watch as many of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Season 5 as I can before this week is over.
I watched Dr. Who Season 3, the 7 minute mini-episode, and the Christmas Special.

corzican watched my face and verbal response to Captain Jack's departure back to Torchwood.
I have to admit I yelled quite loudly at the mention of The Face of Boe. However, the strangest thing was that I already had the Face of Boe on the brain as that was the very first thought that ran through my mind when the 'Toclafane' opened up. To me the mini face looked just like a smaller version of the Face of Boe and I was thinking in my mind that the two were somehow related. As the show then gave an immediate explanation of the 'Toclofane' being the last of the humans, the thought of the connection to the Face of Boe diminished greatly.
Once Jack's news was given, my brain returned to a possible connection. Given the idea that if Boe and Jack are one in the same and both human, perhaps the technology used by the last humans is similar to what Jack uses as he gradually transforms into Boe. Yeah, it's a reach, but I still felt like sharing the thought. I can picture Jack at some point travelling into the future in an attempt to help bring the transformed humans back to a proper sense of humanity instead of that which they had become. It's also fitting with the level of care that both Jack and the Face of Boe have for the human race.
I will most likely watch Torchwood Season 2 episodes before this week is over.
(As an aside, why settle for one when they come two to a pair: John Barrowman and his partner Scott Gill [you're welcome])
Strangest, yet most awesome show that you're not watching: Breaking Bad
I'll be the first to admit that the show has horribly slow moments followed by funny as hell fast story line train wreck sequences. This show puts you into the mind of Walter White, "a high school chemistry teacher who receives a terminal diagnosis that changes his life." This show is filled with a level of win in the subtle context of each and every scene. Even when you see the train wreck coming from a mile away this show has you waiting on pins and needles for the ensuing blood/gore/death/multiple levels of bad to materialize, which in turn is followed by jaw-dropping maniacal laughter from yourself.
Watch it, record it, TiVo it, download it, YouTube it. I don't care, but I do highly recommend that this be on your "grab a couple beers and try not to snortle through your nose" list of tv shows to watch.
