MY KINGDOM!: the HINES WARD of Blogs

DAILY DOSE: "Knight in Shining Armour I Will Be Your Fairy Tale"

Yeah, yeah, "he's finally posting again," blah blah. You know me, friends, when school starts up again, it takes a few days to get all the blog-timing kinks worked out, so sorry this is the first time I've posted up all week. Good news, though-- there's a REALLY good chance that I'm only going to have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during this, my final semester as a student. Can anyone say "five day weekend?" Well, I can't, because I'm going to work on Thursdays and Fridays. However, I think I might go into school on Mondays just to watch TV with friends and play racquetball...and maybe have office hours and work on my independent study.

But I digress, sorry for neglecting you all. You know, when I'm suspiciuosly absent, feel free to post and have discussions amongst yourselves. You don't need lil' ol' me to spark debate, do you? Anywho- sorry again for leaving you to your own devices, but If you think this is bad, you should see the state of the Federation of Knoria, which has gone down the crapper this week to do my neglect. It's my own little slice of political science heaven at Nationstates.net, your Link of the Day. Run a search for "Knoria," and you'll see what I'm talkin' bout. Also, feel free to make your own country, run it into the ground, and join my region. Sweet.

Okay, so not a ton's been going on, but on Thursday I will probably be posting my randomly insightful "I hate Wal*Mart" column, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, I need to talk to you about 24.

I had never watched it, but always wanted to. Every year, it seems I would miss the first couple episodes, and convince myself that I couldn't watch it cuz I would be lost. Let me just tell you that I watched four hours of the new season over the last two days, and am positively hooked. The show is INCREDIBLE, and even if you've missed it so far, you should jump on board this week and start watching. If you want, email me, and I'll catch you up. The show has me on the edge of my seat every day. It's just true awesomeness.

While you're at it, if you have the SciFi channel, and you want to try scifi that's not TOO scifi/geeky, check out BattleStar Galactica, starting this weekend. It's really more of a war-movie in space, and the miniseries that kicked it off last spring was exceptionally well done. It features Edward James Olmos (who spoke at Dickinson and told everyone that Dario looks like Jesus) and Mary McDonnel who "Stands with a Fist" and dies in Independce Day. Really cool space batttles, too. Grampy- I highly suggest you give it a look. It's a gritty space war saga.

Okay, I know that's a pretty weak Dose, but I just got from a llllllloooooooooooong day that included two hours of Insurance Law. I was hoping that Tommy Maddox would be a guest speaker, but to no avail. Perhaps after the playoffs... And yes, it was as boring as you think a two hour class about Insurance would be. At least, the 35 minutes I was actually awake was that boring.

Okay- song of the day is "All for love" by Color Me Badd. Just so corny that it works. Good stuff.

See yinz tomorrow maybe, certainly Thursday. Just bare with me this week, and we'll be back to you regularly scheduled Kingdom of Goodness.

later

  • No, gentlemen. Cheers to Jennifer Garner. And whoever the hot chick is on "Lost". This is the best tv that wednesday night has had to offer since "Dawson's Creek" went off the air.
