The Encounter

The Encounter
Photo-A-Day #1286

Today I head home from LA. I had booked a red eye so that I could hang out in LA for the day with some other bloggers. However, I didn’t have that itinerary for the trip till a few days ago so when I found out the itinerary things had already been planned and nothing was planned. So instead I got up and had a great breakfast at the hotel by myself. I was by myself because I turned in early last night while everyone else stayed out till 2:00am. I’m such and old fart.

I then watched the Sarah Connor Chronicles on Hulu.com. The episode was called Goodbye to That. It was a great episode about Derek’s future and another member of the resistance. There was also another terminator an 888 that came after a person called Martin Bledell. I thought it was a pretty sweet episode.

I caught a twitter that one of the folks from the group was at breakfast so I went back down and hung out with everyone for a while. Then got back to the room to watch a little more Hulu.com and sadly it was the new Knight Rider. I like it, I admit it. It is a guilty pleasure.

I then caught up with the group again and this time I hopped a cab to the airport with a few of the other guys. I’m super early so I ended up at the airport with not much to do so I checked out the theme restaurant called Encounter. It is the cool place that overlooks the airport. It is that big oddly shaped building on the airport grounds.

I had calamari and some chicken wings. Both were pretty tasty. I then walked up to the parking garage to get this shot of the building.

Now I am hanging out int he airport watching the season premiere of Chuck. We missed catching that on the DVR because I didn’t have it properly set up in time. I’m going to try and work on my video from the interview yesterday.

DVR Fixed: Cable Catch up

Premiere of NBC's

Now that the DVR and Cable is fixed I can get caught up. I’ve watched a bunch of shows and need to catch up. Here are my impressions of shows this week. Spoilers may be in here of Course.

Tuesday Night
I watched the Mentalist with Allison. Not digging this show. It is like a grown up version of PSYCH that is darker. There were some interesting points but in all I am not hooked. Tuesday is a pretty nothing night in my opinion. A night to catch up on blog stuff.

Wednesday Night
Bones : The Crank in the Shaft.
Oh man that opening with everyone in the elevator and then the shredded leg falls in. Yuck. We get another new intern this week who is very very morbid. I love how Cam tried to engage him over and over only to get more and more freaky answers. That was pretty funny. Angela and Hodgins seem to be getting their relationship slowly worked out. We see Sweets in a smaller role this week and much mroe interaction between Booth and Bones. I like how they worked together in this episode. The whole thing about the chair and Booth’s back was funny as well. A decent episode.

Knight Rider: “Journey to the End of the Knight”
I hope that they don’t name everything with Knight. It may be camp but it is silly. This episode we see Michael involved in an underground racing circuit that is also involved in selling high tech secrets and weapons to our enemies. This plot was very poorly contrived. It was fun to see how Michael pushes the limits of K.I.T.T. The sexual tension between Michael and Sarah is still playing out. I’d rather see less tension between the two and just have them be together. It would make the danger better. I am wondering when they will have K.I.T.T. turn into something other than the attack mode and the truck. I was hoping Kitt would switch to a Ford GT. That would be cool. Basically I am watching the show for the transformations and the camp of it all. I catch it on Hulu.com.

Thursday Night
My Name is Earl Both Episodes
I still love this show for Jason Lee’s delivery of lines, the cast of characters is hilarious and both episodes were a riot this week. Nothing major revealed, just more stuff on the list. I like that they have gone back to the list. I’d like to see how far along Earl is on that list.
