Friends don't let your friends dress up as the Joker this year for Halloween. Yes we know it's a topical costume but you know it's going to be done a lot this year and most likely by some douche bag in a fraternity. And you don't want to associate yourself with any of those nozzles. So talk to your friends before it's too late. While you're at it talk to them about Sarah Palin as well.

Don't, Don't Vote
And you have one more day to vote early. You should know that if your voting place is a school make sure you go during school hours or after. Schools are crazy around 4:00pm trust me. And when were students allowed to bring their dogs to school?

The Late Worm
"The late worm misses the bird." This was the rebuttal I gave one of my teachers in high school when she told me that 'the early bird catches the worm' upon my tardiness. Last night the saying couldn't have been more true. This year I have been going to the shows of the Austin Wind Symphony. This is a symphony in the city that plays movie and TV scores. Last night was their Star Trek show. Let me just say they are very talented. I was 30 minutes late due to working a little later than I had expected to. As I walked in the lady taking money at the door just waved me on through so I ended up not having to pay. After the show I was supposed to meet friends downtown at The Belmont for a birthday party. When I got there there was a Make-A-Wish foundation fundraiser auction event going on that had 'private party' signs everywhere so I wasn't sure if my friends were actually there. I went in looking for them and in doing so wound up inadvertently sneaking in to the event as it was beginning to wind down. It's a good thing I dressed nicely because while I walked around trying my best to look like I belonged there I ended up scavenging some free food. With all of the rich and attractive teens and 20-something year old people being dressed nicely it was hard for me not to feel like I was in an episode of Gossip Girl. It turned out that my friends showed up a little earlier and decided to leave and go eat at Roy's for the birthday dinner portion of the evening. The night was a fun one and I ended up not having to pay for my show or my food for the night. I wonder if this is what it's like to be a celebrity?

TV Superheroes.
My earlier blog about re-watching last season's Smallville must have been read by some of the writers. They seem to actually be moving Clark on. I haven't been this excited to watch Smallville in a long time. If they keep the quality up this season we could be seeing a 9th season that is both necessary and wanted.
Now heroes on the other hand. What happened? I am usually the biggest apologist for shows that are starting to decline but this season of heroes may have taken the cake last night. Without giving anything away there was a scene in last night's Heroes that made me go WTF?! and not the kind where afterward I say 'awesome'. 3 times this season 3 different characters did things that were uncharacteristic of the characters from the last 2 seasons for no reason. Other than those three things I have enjoyed the season.
Heroes this season: C+
Smallville this season: A-

Fall TV Report
Here are some new shows that I have started to watch this Fall
Gossip Girl- Yeah I know it started last year and I'm a little late to the party but whatevs. and I'm still on season one.
Privileged- With Gossip Girl, 90210, and Privileged it looks like the executives of the networks are shooting in their homes to save money. Anyway this show is kind of cute and has some potential.
Fringe- This is my favorite new show. And it looks like Fox isn't going to cancel it so that's a good thing.
Life On Mars- True it starts tonight but I plan on watching this American remake of a British instant classic.
With these and the shows I already watch it's no wonder I never get anything done.
