The River

Two thumbs down. Talk about a disappointment. This show is beyond weak. The River is a new series on ABC about a rescue expedition in the Amazon basin. If you want cheap scary thrills with a horrible plot and everything based around magic and possessions, this is for you. I for one found the show to be very disappointing and not scary at all. I found the script to be weak with shallow dialogue. Many of the scenes are predictable without leaving much to the imagination. I have already deleted this show from my scheduled DVR recordings and won't be wasting anymore of my precious "TV time real estate" on this one.

Super Bowl Sunday

So today is Super Bowl Sunday. This is a national holiday of sorts. Everyone makes plans to watch the game with friends and family. Youth groups all over the country illegally host the game with pizza parties at their churches.

You may ask "What are you doing for Super Bowl Sunday"? Well, I am working. Yes, I am not at a shooting match or at home watching the game with my family nor am I watching it at a bar with buddies. I am sitting here in my office working from 4-midnight tonight. Some would say that's a crying shame. I actually don't mind. I'm getting Sunday and night differential pay for working toda and thanks to the modern advent of the DVR I am recording the commercials at home. I think this should be the way every year. Just work and get the extra pay and record the commercials. This way I get to skip the boring game and get straight to the good stuff.

If I were to root for any of the teams playing tonight I would pick the Giants. I could care less about any NFL team but since my grandfather was a scout for the Giants that's who I'm picking.

I hope everyone has a good Super Bowl Sunday and a great week. Be safe and as always; don't get dead.
