Facebook: The Troubles

At the beginning of the month, I joined Facebook (see previous blog). I wasn't really sure what to make of it.
Now, a few weeks later I am a regular to Facebook (hmm....the dictionary on my computer does recognize this as a word). I now have almost 150 friends (and counting). Still not sure if I'm hooked or if i'm just using it as a connection site with old friends. I have enjoyed using the Poke option (though what the purpose of it is, I have no idea).
Of course, like most things there are struggles. Such as today. I went on a friend's page and looked over their friends to see if there was anyone I knew. I found a lot of people I knew, so I friends all these people. Anyway, after a several friending, Facebook told me that I was going to fast and that I was

engaging in behavior that may be considered annoying or abusive by other users.


 I kept friending (that is a word right?) thinking that i was going "slow enough". Currently, Facebook has told me that

 You have been blocked from adding friends because you repeatedly misused this feature. This block will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. When you are allowed to reuse this feature, please proceed with caution. Further misuse may result in your account being permanently disabled. 

and I was just friending some people I know!

Who do you think framed Roger Rabbit...I mean the Riddler?

In the comic Joker's Asylum II: The Riddler, Eddie falls in love with a woman, whose name I forget but I will call "the Queen of Hearts". however, this woman does not love him back no matter what he gives her or does in her name. Someone who we will call, "Assailant X", wants Nigma to help with a trap, but he is too focused on his Queen. So, Mr. (or Ms.) X forces the queen to show findness to him, so by releases him from such thoughts and making him kill her father (read comic to see).
 
I have to ask (since it is not obvously stated in the comic): Who do people think this Assalient X is? Anyone figure out who he/she/what X is yet?
I will post my opinion in a future blog by studying the comic for the answer to the riddle, but I just wanted to know who people thought it was.
(P.S. can anyone dislike my review? I won't mind.)

Stargate SG1

I've just started watching old episodes of Stargate SG1. Boy, that was an interesting and intense show. I sort of wonder how much money they had for buget what with all the people they had to have, all the objects which sometimes only apeared in one episode. The writers really put a lot of thought into what was going to happen and what characters they were going to introduce. They had to research a lot of ancient cultures and ideas to find concepts to show.They also had to get people who spoke some of these ancient languages to help pronounce and speak it. Great show!

Terror that flappes in the night Comic Book

I can't wait. on the 16th (in other words: 10 days from now on a Wednesday or when ever your comic book store gets new comics), Darkwing Duck will be returning from his long absence into a brand new comic Book series. (and Yes...I know it was already stated before in other places, but I'm just excited...).
It really great to see him back after all this time and plus, perhaps they can use the plot lines which they neglected to create since Disney canceled it after changing its channel name from Toon Disney to that horid Disney XD
Don't get me wrong, Disney it self is great, but the fact that they would cancel something like the Darkwing Duck series makes them not my best of friends in the broatcast system. After this whole XD thing happened (what does that even stand for??), the shows got less good (if anyone can think of any good shows which occurred after this change do tell me...).
I'm just glad that Disney has got to its senses and done something good with such a good character. Till the 16th I'll going to watch past Darkwing Duck episodes.

Facebook: The Begining

I just started using the site Facebook. I'm not sure why i created my account, I mean I was one of those people who laughs at the people who say they Facebook (can I use it as a verb???). But, last Friday I wanted to veiw some pictures of me that a friend took of me and couldn't remember my mom's password (is it sad that my mom had a facebook and I didn't?), so I just created an account.
Now, I'm spending a lot of my free time finding friends and commenting on pictures. I don't know if this is my new interest (Comicvine was one of my interests...i think it still is), but I guess I'm spending more time on it.
So...hmmm...thats that. The begining. Is this good? or is this bad? only time will tell (as well as a few readers, I hope...). To Be Continued?

Darkwing Duck

I was watching a few episodes of Darkwing Duck. Boy, it was funnier than I remembered!
WIth quite witted humor and references to other shows and pop culture it was awesome! How could they ever cancel a show like this?

What is the world coming to?

Today at school was celebrity day. Instead of doing the Sherlock Holmes outfit i had worn before a few times at other places, I put on a suit and these glasses with big black Mustashes and eyebrawls and said i was Groucho Marx. I had about 5 people know who I was, all the rest simply asked, "who are you?"
Really, what has happened to America when people don't watch movies of the older generation to learn and enjoy? What is with this? When Groucho is an unknown, the world is a unhappy place! perhaps I'm overreacting, but really its Groucho Marx! I'm actully the same age as most of the people, yet they have not seen the Marx brothers? whats wrong with the world?

Dentist and numbness

I had to get my teeth fixed at the Dentist. They gave me some stuff to make the side of my mouth they were working on numb.
When they were finished and i got home it was 4:30pm and I couldn't feel my right side of my mouth (I feel like I could be two-face with one side being normal feeling the other just not feeling like its there).
That was then. This is now. Its now 6:36pm and still my lip and right side of my mouth can not be felt. I feel tired and hungry, but I still can't eat for fear of biting my own toung off. I hope it goes down, but we'll see.

Thought I just had about Smallville...

So, as anyone who has watched Smallville will know, Clark went and sent the Kryptonians to another demention. I was think abstractly and I thought of something.

Whatever happened to Kara? I mean she's a Kryptonian. I know she hasn't been seen or mintioned since very early in the this season, but was she sent to that same demention? Or was she just not on Earth at that point? Any Ideas of where she is in the Smallville world?

Smallville "Salvation" or a usual Smallville season finale

As usual, Smallville has had its suspensiful season finale. They left us hanging on who's alive and who is dead (but still on contract).
I was glad that Tess is still alive (just has half her face serried off...wonder if she'll become Smallville's Two-face. She already fits the part now you just get to see it more on the outside). I hope she's still alive. wonder who the nitter is. I'm glad that the writers didn't do anything connected to what happened in the comics, no new Krypton or anything like that. It would have caused such bordom as most of it we've seen in the comics, just it would be played out live.
I hope that Ollie will be alright. I hope its just suspense, because Chloe has already had one guy die two's a crime.
I like the dream at the very beginning. We get to see the world of Superman as well as Lex alive and the real Jimmie (well, we would see him if Lois didn't pile all that stuff on him). I liked how, when he woke up, he found a package from his mom. I think it's HIS cape, (though didn't he get a cape from that actress in one of the past two seasons?).
 
For the next season, the villian roster has been narrowed down.

  • Tess has become a sort of good guy and sort of dead right now (not sure if true).
  • Checkmate is sort of out of commission
  •  Maxwell Lord hopefully is gone (never know with him)
  • Lex is dead (depends on if he wants to come back or not)
  • Bizzaro is definitly not going come back
  • Brainiac is in the future
  • Zod is gone (hopefully) for good
So, I about the only villains left are Toyman and Metallo and they're not exactly major villains. They need someone who can actually think of major things. While they will/might create good short plot lines, the actual antagonist has to be someone who can be a threat to the Justice league (are they called that now?) for more than three episodes.
Possible Villians for the next season include: livewire, MIster Mxyzptlk (I know that he apeared already in the series, but they never really revealed as to what happened to him or his powers and the group which Lex formed), Prankster,and  Puzzler.
 
I hope that for the major villian they decide to use Ultra-Humanite. I know, I know. he looks (and is at times) an ape, but they could change that (they did such an apearence change with Brainiac). I mean he was after all  one of the first recurring comic book supervillain. They could make him have super strenth and intellect.
