Pushing Daisies

HD was designed for football and anything to suggest otherwise is blasphemy! But damn it if Pushing Days is not just a gorgeous show. It's on ABC HD Wednesdays and the colors, sets and costumes are just fantastic and vivid.

The concept of the show is that when something dies a guy is able to touch it to bring it back to life for one minute. If he doesn't touch it again before the minute is up something else around it does.

The girl in the show looks super familiar but I just can't seem to place her. If you have a HD set I would highly suggest it.

NASAtv

I am not sure if this is something everyone in America has or if it's a Central Florida thing but we have Channel 144 that is NASAtv. It's all NASA all the time. It's geeky fantastic!

Most of the time you are just watching a map showing you where everything in space is but anytime there is a live feed coming the shuttle or ISS they have it pumped in with the audio. I normally just have it turn on in the background and when I hear someone talking I look over.

During this last mission the ISS ran into some problems with one of the Russian computers that deal with little things like life support and positioning. They took a shot of Russia's command center and you see all these logos for companies vs ours which just has a big American flag in it.

It's strange to see exploration as a business instead of just for the greater good of humanity but I guess thinking back to when people sailed is was the same thing. Of course I'm sure they did it for the chicks no matter what century it's in. That's a given.

But if you are not into NASAtv and instead like MTV then you can check out the Engaged and Underage blog. How could any of those marriages end badly?

Lovebites

I have no idea what this show is about but I find it strangely captivating. Well it's not really a show, it seems to just be a two minute short produced by some hair care company. Very interesting way to advertise and any site that has curse words in their navigation is A-OK with me. Funny stuff, check it out.
