Thought this was kind of funny

To celebrate the release of the Green Hornet movie on Friday, SciFi is showing the entire Green Hornet series from the 60's (Except for the crossover episodes with Batman, which is too bad. those are about the only episodes of Batman I haven't seen)

In the third episode there is a group of people who are committing crimes and making it look like the Green Hornet is responsible. There is also a guy who, using a computer, can predict every detail of these crimes before they happen. Here is the funny/cool part. When Brit (Green Hornet's secret Identity) went to talk to this guy, it turns out that the computer is in fact the Bat Computer! No wonder it is so good. Batman made it!

Or they just reused the same prop, but it was still kind of cool too see it somewhere other then the Batcave.

I'm a bit mad at my parents right now.

They like watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Apparently last night Kurt Angle was on the show. They know I am a fan of Agles, and even if I wasn't, they know I like pro wrestling. So did they call em and say it was on, or record it so that I could watch it today?

Nope.

They didn't even mention that he had been on it. They told me when Big Show was on, but not Angle.

First not telling me when Steve Wozniak was on Dances With The Stars, which is the only reason I would have watched the show, and now this. Definitely going to have to teach them a lesson. I'm thinking I won't show them the cutest pic of a friend's new baby. that will teach them.

Also, how cool is it that Chrome's spell checker has Wozniak in it!
I'm watching Donut Paradise on Travel Channel right now, and they are talking about an "Iconic" donut shop in Seattle, Top Pot Donuts.

If this place is iconic, how come I've never heard of it.

I had a few problems with the place. I've never been there, but I'm not sure I would want to either.

First, the people they talked to all seemed to think they were Primus' gift to the donut world. They were talking like they thought they were the only ones making donuts like they were, but the problem is I didn't see anything different then what I when I was working in the bakery. Actually I take that back. I actually cut out the donuts by hand, while they were using a machine to cut them out (Despite claims buy one of the bakers that they do everything completely by hand, unlike other places where a person never ouches them.

Second, I can't tell from watching it, but don't see what is so special about them. They may be great tasting donuts, but they didn't look like they were any different from any other donuts. the only unique thing about them is that the dough mix is made for them and no one else, but even that looked and sounded like a standard mix. The glazes, frostings, and fillings sounded and looked like ones you can get pretty much anywhere.

Third, the place looked more like a rester aunt, which it kind of is but not a coffee shop. When I think coffee shop, I think someplace smaller, inviting, and comfortable. This place looks more like some fancier rester aunt. When I was watching it, I was expecting them to show some chef from Top Chef running the kitchen. The place needs to be a little bigger then some coffee shops since they roast their own beans and have the bakery in the back for making donuts, but front seems to big and fancy. looked nice, and if it was just the first floor it would have been fine, but it seemed to big.

fourth, the thing that annoyed me the most is the donuts. from the sounds of it, their most popular donut is the Old Fashioned Donuts. Problem is, they looked like they were over cooked. Splitting like they did is normal in Buttermilk Donuts, but it didn't show them putting buttermilk in them, and usually when someone makes buttermilk donuts, they are marketed as butter milk donuts. most old fashioned, cake donuts that split like that are because they are over cooked.

And finally, if they wanted to talk about an original and iconic donut shop, why didn't they go to Voodoo Donuts?
I think I need to stop watching House for a while.

Last night (Actually it was this morning since I went to bed around 2) I had a dream. The dream was a buddy cop film staring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. At first I thought it was Bad Boys 3, but they were meeting for the first time, so it wasn't. Plus Will Smith's characters seemed to be modeled after Will Farrell's in The Other Guys

After they met, apparently it wasn't going over well with test audiences because they were replaced...with House and Wilson. not the actors who play them, but the actual characters of House and Wilson.

I woke up before the dream finished (stupid alarm clock) but hopefully I will have that dream again, It was a good movie. I want to see how it ends

thought this was kind of funny.

I was reading about the different mental problems I have (I like to know what I'm up against). In case anyone is keeping score, it is ADD (I'm not hyper enough to have the H) Depression, and Dyslexia. (actually it is Dyscalculia, which apparently isn't in Blogger or Chrome's spell checker, but Blogger's thinks it is close to Schoolgirl for some reason. Most people don't know what Dyscalculia is, and I usually don't have time to explain it, so I just say Dyslexia instead.) While reading about ADHD, it said that one possible cause is ingesting Sodium Benzoate. After reading that, I happened to look at the label for a bottle of Mountain Dew that I just finished and what is the first thing I see?

Sodium Benzoate

Not sure if anyone else will think that is funny, but I did.

New Stuff 2011--Week 0

Man I need to get used to typing 2011. I've tried 5 times to day, but it always ended up being 2010 or 2001. not sure why.

Ok, so you might be wondering what this "New Stuff 2011" (got it that time) thing is. good question, assuming anyone actually red this site to ask that. Here is what it is. It is a column I hope to do every week covering new stuff that have written or info pertaining to my writing. At the moment, I am hoping to have at least 4 things in here each week.

ACWF All-Stars:--the first new promotion in the Wrestleverse in 5 years (UVWF is new too, but chronologically it started in 2004) ACWF is a company that could concept that could revolutionize Pro Wrestling by emphasising the sport over the entertainment.

SPW PowersurgeThe promotion that started all this is still going and features the SPW Heavyweight, Faction Wars, and Women's title.

UVWF Hardcore--That's right, UVWF has it's won show. It took over BTP's time slot after Bring The Pain closed.

SPW Anarchy--the second(but no less important) SPW show, which features the Continental, Tag Team and Hardcore title.

In case anyone is Wondering, HOH still replaces Anarchy once a month, and of course there are still PPVs. And the Reboot is still going on, but I figured that, since yesterday was the first Sunday of the month, it would have been a SPW PPV day, so it is a good time to start doing shows again. hopefully I will be able to do 4-5 a week, and like always they will be posted the day after they "happen"

There will also be other stuff mentioned here as well, any time I write and post other things. might be a stand alone short story (like I could write something like that ofter) might be part of a current series, or it might be something else entirely. either way it will be mentioned here.
