roguemHave had a quiet week really. Been surfing the net, getting caught up on some of my shows and just trying to get some stuff done.
Looks like I'm off to Oslo in November, really looking forward to it. Janki is looking into getting me tickets for 'Hair'. I hope I get to see it, would be so awesome to see him perform. I've never been a big musical fan, but this is different. If it doesn't work out I figure I'll try to contact Nina and we'll hang out or something.
So I finally got to see the season opener of "Prison Break". It was good, but I was also kind of dissapointed. I've always kind of seen this series as holding on to realism as well as they could. I mean if you remove all the close shaves and stuff that's just in there to be dramatic one can to some degree buy into it all. They do manage to hold the suspense all the way through, which is rare, and very well done.
Not much else happening really. Am kind of looking forward to going back to work. I've applied at a job at the airport, and am looking in to some other things that could hold me over until I get an actual movie/TV gig.
We're starting to pack some stuff. Looking for boxes and stuff. I'll have to go through all my stuff and see what I want to keep and if there's anything I can throw away. I hate this part.
My dad has been going through a lot of his stuff and has started selling a bunch of stuff online. Sad really, a lot of what he's selling has been in our family for a long time. It's not of any use anymore, so I get why he's selling it, but it's still kind of sad.
If you've been paying attention you'll have seen that I've been posting a lot of fan-art, mainly by request. So I'm keeping this open, if you have any requests, just ask. I'll make banners, headers, icons, wallpapers, soundbites, and caps. No problem.

First off, Veronica getting killed. To me that just removes the whole point of the sub plot in season 1. If that wasn't supposed to lead anywhere why even go there? Also if this Steadman guy is such a big problem for the Company, why not just kill him? Why leave the evidence like that? Now that they're screwed with regards to the President anyway why not just kill him?
One thing that has been bothering me for a long while too, why did Benjamin Miles "C-Note" Franklin want to escape? With regards to keeping the big secret from his family about where he's really been, breaking out of jail has to be one of the dumbest things ever. His wife seems like a smart girl, like someone who watches the news... that's all I'm saying.
And finally T-Bag and his sewered hand. Okay, making a rough timeline, they broke out of prison at about 19:00 if I'm not mistaken. The season finale is pretty much real time as far as I can figure, but I'm gonna say that T-Bag got his hand chopped off at about 21:00. The opening to season 2 seems to take place the morning after, so quite a few hours have passed before we see T-Bag again.
A. the pain alone should have knocked him out for a while.
B. He'd be bleeding a lot, I'm not talking Kill Bill bleeding here, but there would be a lot of blood.
C. I refuse to believe he'd be able to be running around the woods after that amount of blood loss.
D. There is no way in hell he'll be able to handle what the vet is going to do and stay concious.
E. There is no way the vet will be successful at his attempt to reattach the hand.
If T-bag survives much longer, or isn't caught soon an brougt to a real hospital the show will loose major points. I'm not even kidding. There are a lot of plot holes and such that I will accept in various shows, but considering what this show has been trying to do thus far the whole T-Bag situation is kind of wrecking that.
I still like the show, and will keep watching. It is one of the most well written with regards to the close shaves and drama, and keeping the exitement level high. I'll keep watching and hoping that it'll redeem these issues in some way. New episode tonight, so we'll see what happens.One thing that has been bothering me for a long while too, why did Benjamin Miles "C-Note" Franklin want to escape?
