Tempus Fugit

Saturday, August 8, 2009 by admin.

Imagine if you will that you have a blog and that you have every intention to write in said blog an overview of the Comic-Con convention in a timely fashion. Then imagine that, as John Lennon once said, life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans. I’ve been playing catch-up it seems and just didn’t have a chance to do what I said I was going to do. Please forgive me and keep the wet noodle whipping to a minimum. To satisfy your Comic-Con cravings here are links to videos so you can experience some of the panels yourself:

The wacky weather here in Nevada is making my sinuses freak out. Can you believe that it’s only 90 degrees right now? It’s late afternoon in August for Pete’s sake! What is this world coming to? First the weather the last few days has been spring-like at best, then Twitter and Facebook take a nose dive because of a Denial of Service attack on Thursday.

Oh, the humanity! I was very put out, by the way. I have developed a severe addiction to Twitter–I’m sure that I’m not alone. Hacker, you are very cruel indeed…at least leave me an alternative to Twitter such as Facebook if you’re going to take down the site. Twitter kind of freaked me out at first because it seems a bit like sanctioned cyberstalking. However, you get strangely dependent on these 140-character glimpses into the lives of celebrities and non-celebrities alike. Besides, it can be useful; I learn a lot from Twitter. For instance, I discovered they started construction on the Mafia museum here in Vegas on August 4, Apple alumni Guy Kawasaki always posts informative links from his website Alltop.com and I keep up with the creative geniuses of “Heroes”, “Castle”, “Psych”, and “Supernatural”.

Speaking of “Supernatural”, last but not least of my what’s-this-world-coming-to diatribe is the little kernel of knowledge iGoogle just dropped on me: Paris Hilton will be guest starring in episode 5 of season 5. I know she was in House of Wax with Jared Padelecki but, dude, come on!  Do you have to ruin my favorite show with the Viscountess of Vapidness? Apparently, she’ll be playing a demon that takes on the form of Paris Hilton. Disturbing as that may seem, it could actually be funny. Dean would have soooo much material to work with.

Jumping back a bit…the season 4 premiere of “Psych” last night was great. Cary Elwes guest starred as a international art thief that Shawn and Gus run into on a ski trip to Whistler near Vancouver. At least the production didn’t have pretend they weren’t in British Columbia, a move that is both genious and cost-effective. I applaud you, USA Networks! Nothing like hearing Lassiter whine because he couldn’t bring his gun to the great white north. If you missed the premiere you can check it out online at USA’s web site.

Till next time!
