I had a conversation earlier this evening with one of my mom’s cousins, who was born and raised in Iran. We were sitting in my mom’s office, working on a post, when he came in and sat down to chat with us.

The Big Bang Theory
On July - 25 - 2009
We recently got our hands on the first season of The Big Bang Theory. We had seen a couple of episodes previously, but no more than a smattering. We have heard really good things about the series, and decided to give it a full shot.
Smallville: No Experience Needed
On July - 16 - 2009
Anyone who has watched the MehCast on a regular basis will know that I have nothing but contempt for the TV series “Smallville”. I think the entire series is an affront to the Superman mythos, and an embarrassment to his name. Lindsey, however, loves the series. This has lead to regular conflicts between us on this subject. Since the physical proof of the TV show itself is apparently not enough to describe how much it sucks, I am always on the lookout for something, anything, that helps prove my point, hoping that one day, I would succeed.

Most people have heard about the recent South Park episode that makes fun of Kanye West’s ego by means of a childish joke. We watched it via http://www.southparkstudios.com/ (Where the creators have put up every South Park episode for free viewing) a few days ago, and enjoyed it a great deal. Kanye West’s ego was heavily put in check. He was the only person in the world who didn’t understand the following joke:
WCG Ultimate Gamer
On April - 8 - 2009
Lindsey and I were up very late a few nights ago, and we noticed something on the Sci-Fi channel called “WCG Ultimate Gamer”. Both of us being avid gamers, this piqued our curiosity, and we switched over. What we saw was a re-run of the first episode of WCG Ultimate Gamer, a “reality” competition show with video game challenges. It’s a very interesting show, and the subject matter is being handled very well (although neither of us are fond of the female presenter). The “real-life” challenges are fun to watch, as are the “isolation” challenges. The face-off elimination at the end of each show is also very entertaining. Of course, with any “reality” competition type show like this, they all live in the same house, so a portion of each episode is dedicated to drama and conflict between the gamers involved (shock!). However, while the conflict and drama (see how I switched it up there?) can have an effect on the elimination portion of the show, it generally takes a backseat to the gaming and the competition, which I find to be very nice.
