So this might be my first truly random post as I have a lot of stuff just bumbling around in my head. As I plan on just writing as stuff comes to me, I apologize now, if there's no transitions or lead ins between topics. I might just jump trains as I go. Let's leave the station shall we?
So today I knew I was going to go to the Rec center and work out, because it's Wednesday and on Wednesday's that's when I for sure go, so I prepared by finally making a "work out" playlist on my iPod. I figured it's only take a few minutes but as I was browsing through I kept finding all this music I had no idea I had. So of course this lead me to start listening to the songs that had been long forgotten like "Semi-Charmed Kind of Life" by Third Eye Blind, "Wonderwall" by Oasis, "Watercolour" by Pendulum and "I Need to Know" by Marc Anthony. I was then delayed by an extra half an hour to listen to this stuff and more. Have you ever looked at your music be it on iTunes, your CD's, tapes, whatever, and just found things long forgotten yet sweet to fin? Little gems that have returned to you after a long time? Isn't that the greatest feeling?
So while on the topic of music, I spent a couple hours today watching a series on Hulu, that's only on Hulu (btw did you know that Hulu is only for the United States and people outside of the US can't view anything on there?) as it is made, produced and whatnot by Hulu, called LXD. Which stands for Legion of Extraordinary Dancers. LED was taken. This show captured more of my attention than it should have. I'm not going to lie, the only reason I clicked to it, was because the latest episode teaser picture, showed a group of guys suited up, minus jackets, obviously dancing together and that type of stuff is just awesome to me. I'm a sucker for it.
So when I went to view what that was I found the series and had to of course go to the beginning and watch from there. If it wasn't for the latest episode intriguing me, I wouldn't have watched passed the first episode. It was just so ridiculous that I was caught between mocking laughter and disbelief and offense for them thinking this was good. The acting was barely above Twilight's main duo, and it was literally people breaking out into dance and like the bad guys come up and join them. At a high school prom. It was embarrassing to watch. Although in the end I did continue the series. The episodes were around 10 minutes each anyway. One was only three minutes.
The second episode improved a little, though it was two boys playing in a warehouse then fall into foam and can magically now do aerial dance moves. "Anti Gravity" as it was described. Then the third episode drew me in. It was just so fun and haunting to watch. The robot was the featured dance this time, and the guy was amazing. I just loved it. So I continued the series and it got a little better as it went, and a nice surprise of the guy that plays Mike Chang, (otherwise known as "Other Asian") in Glee is part of the show, showing off his awesome moves and sometimes being a nice comic relief as when comes season two, the show gets a little creepy. I do mean creepy. I posted some of the episodes on my facebook, if you'd like to see my top three.
So from shows, I'm of course taken to the one I spent last night watching, on the recommendation of Michelle and Jacob, The Walking Dead. This zombie Apocalypse show on AMC. It was ok. I spent the first episode yelling at the guy, cause he's gotta recognize his surroundings. He saw the mutilated corpse. At that point grab a weapon cause it's on. He saw the crawler (zombie without legs that has to crawl on hands), he should have gotten a weapon. The black guy had a gun to his head asking him an easy question "what type of wound is that?' and he just stares at him. The show does pick up though after he is told about the zombies and what happened and he then proceeds to be awesome and kicking butt all around. The show was pretty gore filled and such but not as scary as I was expecting based off Michelle's reaction to it. Some parts did make me jump, from the BOOM ness of it. All in all, I will continue watching it.
That's probably enough babbling for one night, though I do have a lot more. Mostly I'm just tired. I've been up too late the past few days talking to people and it's taking it's toll on me. Oh well, Thanksgiving soon and I can sleep then.
