lighter side

Let's forget about politics, religion, etc. just for a moment and talk about my favorite forms of entertainment. Even I know some times I need a break from all the serious.

TV: Been watching a lot of Angel lately. I really like it, although *SPOILER ALERT* Evil Cordy in Season 4 was very annoying. I wonder what they would have done if Charisma Carpenter had stayed with the show. Can't ever let Angel be happy, I don't suppose. Sigh.
Also, Mad Men continues to impress. I like the world of it, and I enjoy seeing what happens to the characters, even if there's not a one of them whose moral backbone isn't made out of rubber.

Video games: The World Ends With You - PLAY THIS GAME. Best thing to come out of Squeenix in *years.* Fun, complex but a reasonable learning curve, and a story that does well what it tries to do. Can't ask for much more than that. Also, I need to make with the WiiWare/VC downloading: Megaman 9, Shining Force II, Secret of Mana, and Super Mario RPG have all come out in the last few weeks. That's a mighty huge pile of retro awesome.

Music: Still on a Death Cab kick to some extent, but my "let's throw another album on the pile" list at work also consists of "Chess," Guns 'n' Roses, Coldplay, and I think Prince. How's that for eclectic?

The previous seasons of LOST, 30 Rock, HIMYM, and The Office will soon be out on DVD. Lot of great eppys...to buy, or to rent as needed with Netflix?
