Where I have been, and where I am going

Hello and welcome back.

It's been a while, but here I am still alive and kicking. It's been about three months since my last post, and many of you may be wondering:

Where has he been, what has he been doing, what secrets is he hiding, etc, etc.

To answer the first: College, the whole time, minus a brief jaunt to Madison and Minneapolis which we may or may not get to.

To answer the second: A lot.  Two words I wished were one, and hoped that by simply spelling them as such for most of my life, someone would finally give up correcting me. (A failed experiment to say the least.) You see that little slogan on the right there that says " Just an average guy with too much time on his hands"? Turns out that second part isn't as true as I had envisioned.Again we can get into specifics later but for now let's just say I have been very busy, and also there has been very little striking my interest to write about. Writing emails and press releases and taking notes and correcting papers all day is exhausting, but I feel I am on the mend, or at least sucking it up a little. So we'll try and start this again. I won't make any promises on what I'll write about because I never seem to come through, but I will tell you what I'd like to write about and then we can see if I follow through on any of it.

As for the third: Many, and someday I might share them.

And as for the etc., etc.: you're just going to need to be more specific.

Here's what I'd like to write about:
1. Despite having taken the trip 8 months ago, I'd really like to finish up my Pittsburgh posts especially since my blog partner in crime: Raymond, writer of The Hot and Bothered Effect (see sidebar) has made a claim that he would like to contrast my opinions of the city with his own. (Although he has also seemed to take a hiatus from his writing as well.)

2. I'd like to do a little halfway followup to my SNL Wishlist I posted back in May, specifically how I'm doing on my host predictions (spoiler: not well).

3. I'd also like to followup on what I've been watching on Netflix, because I know that's what you're really here for.

4. Might profile another one of my friends again, although that was kind of lame I think.

We'll see what else happens, the posting of the pop-culture stuff got a little dull, but I'm certainly not going to stop. However I got some more positive feedback when I do more personal posts so I'll probably throw out a couple of those too.

It's all about "feeling it". You get that writing bug and then you spew it out. That's what I'm doing, spewing. We'll see how long it lasts.

Come along with me, hit the comments tell me what you want me to say, I just might listen.

What do I watch next? A Netflix Dilemma

Over spring break, I got home to find a month long free trial of Netflix waiting for me. So I took my Nintendo Wii, plugged it into Walt's 52 inch TV and sat on the couch for 7 days working my way through Buffy the Vampire Slayer starting with Season 4. Today, I watched the last episode of the series. However, now the trouble begins because the question now becomes what do I watch next?  I've narrowed it down to 4 choices, head to the comments with your recommendations.

Option 1: White Guys on Bikes

1. Sons of Anarchy
My basic understanding of this show is that it involves a motorcycle gang and Ron Perlman. I could definitely dig both of those thing.  Plus Katey Sagal is supposed to be really good in this show, and who doesn't like Katey Sagal? This show is also supposed to be dramatic and dark. I'm not really sure how comedic it is and the last two seasons of Buffy are really dark, so I don't know how ready I am to keep watching something dark.

Option 2: Nerd Alert

2. Battlestar Galactica
A sci-fi series, and supposedly one of the best TV series ever. I know it involves robots, space battles, people searching for earth, and a lot of political allegory. Theres no particular actor I would watch this for, and again this show, from my understanding, is also pretty serious.

Option 3: Hot Girl and Bald Guy

3. Veronica Mars
 A mystery series featuring Kristin Bell, I've only seen the fourth season, which from what I've read is the worst, or most flawed season. So I'd be excited to see the earlier ones to see how the show evolved. This show while having some dark themes is similar to Buffy in that it has snappy dialogue that provides lots of lighter comedic moments.

Option 4: Vamps and Tramps

4. Angel
The logical next step, as this is a spin-off of Buffy, but I think I've had my fill of vampires for a while. This show also is not as consistent in its story telling abilities so I don't want to struggle through any boring episodes.

Option 5: Two Guys, a Girl, and some bowties

5. Premium cable series
Instant Netflix has a lot of premium cable shows available for streaming like Party Down and Weeds. I've heard good things about both, and Party Down is a comedy, so that might be the way to go.

Option 6: No relation to Lex

6. British television series
There is also a lot of British TV available on Netflix, which is good because the only way to get British TV in America is through BBC America, PBS, or DVD and none of those options are reliable. I've noticed Luthor starring Idris Elba which is supposed to be good as well as MI-5 and a show called Survivor which is supposed to be post-apocalypticy

So there are some ideas, what do you think? Like any of these ideas? have some of your own? Hit the comments and let me know.
