Watch/Find this show!

If you haven't seen it already, you probably never will, except on YouTube, because it got cancelled in favor of such crap as Ice Road Truckers... I have no problem with a reality-doumentary about northern truckers, but why the hell is that on History? Crap like that belongs on Discovery Channel, which recently started going downhill with stuff like Mythbusters. I also have no problem with debunking myths, but Mythbusters seems so juvenile, plus they've been wrong before. anyway, Dogfights! on History (The History Channel) was an awesome, factual, and engaging program about aircraft and pilots that, since WWI, have gone at it in massive and deadly aerial ballets. All of it was historically-based, although controversy opened up over some elements of accuracy. The tagline says it all: "You're in the cockpit. Experience the battles. Disect the tactics. Relive the Dogfights!"

A Childhood Favorite

I used to watch this on Fox Kids(R) every Saturday morning. Yeah, some of it's lame, but I'm still a devoted fan, and cried with everyone else when the series ended. Many say Godzilla the Series was even better than the 1998 Hollywood blockbuster!

This is by far the most complete online record of the show: http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2006/03/28/godzilla-the-series/

I'm currently compiling a playlist of many GTS episodes that several others have graciously posted. Enjoy!

Into the Blogosphere

Okay, so I already had the Youtube, Picasa, and even a Yahoo! 360 (since closed) account with which to keep myself amused, but the blogging tools on 360 always seemed so primitive and glitchy. Then I caught sight of some other REALLY COOL blogs here, and decided BAM - I'm moving.

To make a very short story even shorter, this blog will function as an edited version of my Yahoo! 360 blog, which is still alive (and glitchy) over on Yahoo! Profiles. Obviously, I intend to make this one much snazzier, in case anyone happens to notice. Several online acquaitances of mine have blogs here, so I'll no doubt be pinging them with incessant invitations to wax rhapsodic on the brilliance of my thought processes...

Wow, I haven't written that much BS since... well, since a coupla months ago in school :) Bottom line: I write here in the hope that some aimless passerby will somehow have his or her day enriched by gleaning something thoughtful from what I say. And if no one does, well, it's an excuse to write, something I'm hoping to do more of as a hobby.

In the meantime, stay tuned for reviews of books and video games! And the occasional FSX screenie...
