I didn't watch the Oscars tonight because I haven't seen any of the nominated movies. I think that the only movie I saw in a theatre in the past year was Beowulf. I guess that's why most of the movies made now are targetted at youngoer people. I have watched a few movies on DVD over the past year. There is one award show I watch every year and that's the Grammy's. New music is something that I do continue to buy. I'm not so interested in who wins the awards but I watch for the musical performances.

The TV writers strike seems to have also curtailed my TV watching and I really don't miss it that much. I think the writer's strike will be looked back on as the point where network TV became irrelevant. I have been watching a few TV shows like Big Love which is being shown on Global here in Ontario. There is also Mythbusters, Nova, Dirty Jobs and a few other non network shows. I will also be watching (or taping) the season premiere of Guinea Pig on Discovery. Their whole, "so shocking we are going to show it at 1 a.m." has completely sucked me in. I'm also still trying to determine if Yahoo Live will be the next big thing or an interesting flash in the pan. When you have more than one thousand people watching fifty to eighty people it appears to be more of a voyeuristic endevour than something more people will embrace as a communication medium.

I still love my eeepc, I'm writing this blog post on my lap right now as I watch Mythbusters. As long as I don't cut my nails too short I should be fine. One other TV show I watch Smash Lab, planes blowing over trailers and trains smashing into cars, what's not to like?
