Of May 2010

Normally I try to multiple blog posts, but I guess I kinda fell behind this month. Probably something to do with the election and that I didn't anything overly interested (apart from see Iron Man 2 which I shall review!!!)

Well the election happened a few days ago and I think it's fair to say that it would be impossible to be happy with the result. But (to briefly go political) it does show how we need to use a Proportional Representation system. When a party gains almost 25% of the votes and yet only gains a sixth of the seats, then surely that shows that there is something severely wrong with the system.

But avoiding politics. We've hit sweeps!! In other words we're gearing up for finales and therefore almost every show will be ending. Supernatural bows out this Thursday so expect a review of Season 5 very soon. This will soon be followed by some sort of comedy show post, purely because I can't analyse comedy as well as drama. But stay tuned for a mini ranking of 2009/2010's best comedy shows.

Currently Listening to: LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening and The National - High Violet. Two of the best albums so far released in 2010

May 2009

Yay it's May!!! Actually May is a bit of a downer. It normally signals the beginning of my slight hay fever, exams are about to start and well it's sort of that limbo month. It doesn't know if it wants to be spring or summer (although in England I think all months kind of fluctuate between all four seasons).

It also means the insanely busy month, also unluckily for me the television season officially more less comes to an end over the next few weeks. Heroes and Chuck both ended on Monday, Pushing Daisies aired it's last episode last night (expect reviews of all three this weekend!!!), Lost has two weeks left as do all four of the NBC American comedies and HIMYM has about 3 episodes left. So all in all if I want to maintain this blog about reviewing television. Although I might not review The Office, 30 Rock, HIMYM, My Name is Earl and Parks and Recreations (another blog post missing, God dammit).

Well it looks like I might be busy this month just throwing reviews out, at least during my spare time, which at the moment is severely limited.

Oh and the poll reads Spider-Man. So now I must thank you all for those voted on it for giving me the toughest job of all. It's going to be a hellish time because I believe that Spider-Man is published twice a month and has over six hundred issues. Oh and about three "core" series. But you've spoken and I will track down Spider-Man this summer, X-Men some point in the future.

I was hoping for more lean towards X-Men considering X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out yesterday. Speaking of which a friend went to see and texted "Wolverine bleh" which has reaffirmed my fears that whilst it may be better than X-Men: The Last Stand it still as good as the first two movies. Ahhh well I'll still go and see as have every single other comic book movie of the best decade ('cept for the Spirit)
