Anyone have $20,000 or so I can borrow? It would go to a good cause. You see, they are auctioning off a Spider-man 4 package on Ebay that includes a meet and greet with the cast, a spot as an extra in the new movie and a trip to the premier. But really, I'm just interested because the proceeds are going to benefit Stand Up To Cancer.Such Stuff As Nerdy Dreams Are Made Of
I've been worrying a lot about this fall lately. Not about school or about bills, about being away from Michigan, or even how I'm going to afford two plane tickets in November. No, I'm worried about not having a TV. It hasn't mattered up until now, but as we near Sept. 22 and the two-hour Heroes season premier, I'm getting progressively more anxious about how I'm going to get my fix without waiting for the episodes to hit Hulu.
Luckily, NBC has come up with a string of webisodes for both The Office and Heroes to tide us over until the coming season.
In The Office summer series Kevin takes out a loan and in the Heroes miniseries we meet Echo Deville, who may be one of the villians from "Level 5".
A teaser for the new season of The Office, featuring Dwight:
Also, it looks as though Britain is taking a cue from the international success of The Office and launching a show called No Heroics which will do to Heroes what The Office did to Ally McBeal and every other corporate drama and sitcom out there. Check out the trailer here.
Of course, a lot of that sexual humor will never cross the pond, but at least we can rest assured that an Americanized version will replace it with racial humor and violence. Huh... maybe it's because I used the phrase "across the pond" but Blogger seems to think "humor" is spelled incorrectly and wants me to change it to "humour"... no lie.
Seriously though, if you have a TV and live in CSprings, or if you want to go halfsies on the Spider-man thing, let me know.

Heroes is Diet X-men with added soap opera.
And seriously Spiderman 4? I haven't even seen 3 yet.... Of course I guess it is still the same formula.
Yay i'm spiderman.
I wanna be normal.
OMG that girl is hot!
OMG evil dude incoming!
I don't wanna.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Roll credits.
At least you have stuff that you're looking forward to.
"At least you have stuff that you're looking forward to."
Since Zach never expressed the need for any 'be thankful for what you have'-type condolence, I can only assume Kevin, that you are saying this to imply that Zach should be grateful for having something to look forward to because some people have nothing. And since I know you to be a particularly self-centered human being, I can only assume that you are making this implication about yourself.
That is fine Kevin, but remember this, my friend:
An individual's "life" is only as much, or as little, as he makes it.
Zach was not born looking forward to a hit TV series. He had to make necessary emotional investments into the show to program his mind to look forward to its return.
He could have undergone less of an emotional exertion by not making the investment, but he chose to, and what you are reading here in "Television, Television" is simply a consequence of that.
Kevin, I would be more than happy to continue this conversation, all that I ask of you are these two thing: that you come, and that you come eagerly.

The lesson here: Vast universes of hope, potential, and transformation become suddenly and readily available to a person who simply invests himself by proving to the universe he is an eager and patient scholar worthy of its attention.
Cheers,
