DVD Marathon

Being a true blue couch potato, most part of the idle times I'm at home is spent watching DVDs. In fact, I have a bunch of unopened DVDs of the old and the latest TV series from all the CSI versions to the so-called Koreanovelas. I guess it all started with the upsurge to fame of the F4 via Meteor Garden. I bought both seasons of Meteor Garden and grew a strong penchant for the show and one member of the group, Jerry Yan a.k.a. Dao Mingzu. Currently I am watching two TV series: That 70s Show and Gilmore Girls.

Believe it or not, since the defunct That 70s Show aired in 1998, I only started watching it on DVD about a week ago because Joy bought all the seasons available. It took me a very long while to see it because first, '70s era does not interest me at all. I love the '80s. Second, I used to think that this show is just all nonsense crap. BUT, I was wrong. The minute I played it on, I was laughing endlessly. There was no dull moment in every episode. It's just sad it ended already on its 8th season. I love Eric and Donna! Kitty, Eric's mom is hilarious! I'm still on the first few episodes of season 1 and I want to take it slow...

So, I'm watching it alternately with Gilmore Girls. I'm on season 4. I love Rory but I love Lorelai more! She's a cool and pretty mom. Watching Gilmore Girls is not complete without coffee and pizza on the side. There's this one time I watched it past bedtime, I had to pause the player and go down to the kitchen in the middle of the night to make myself a cup of hot coffee. You see, I love coffee too and watching them drink it over and over again is a torture to me. Did you know I almost set up our coffee maker inside my bedroom? Hahaha. Didn't push thru though. There are the series that I watch religiously and download over the net. I watch them with my Maxian and I miss watching them and can't wait for the new season:

Grey's Anatomy - Season 4's pilot episode will be aired on September 27. Can't wait!

Prison Break - Season 3 will air on September 18. The ridiculous rumor that Wentworth Miller is gay just made a lot of fans curious to watch the next season. Good job!

Heroes - Season 2 will air on September 24.

Smallville - Season 7 will air on September 27.

I have yet to watch House, MD. I have the copy of season 1 but I can't find it anymore.

A Phenomenon that is Michael Jackson

If there is one event in this lifetime that I regret not going to, it is Michael Jackson's 1996 History World Tour HERE in Manila. The King of Pop was here and I let it slip away. What was I thinking and where the hell was I? Hmmm...

I am not proud to say that it is only now that I got to appreciate Michael Jackson and his extraordinary talent -- except ofcourse for the "rumors" about his "behavior" which I still find hard to accept. It is better late than never. Thanks to his Ultimate Collection DVD that I watch *almost* every night ever since I bought it about a month ago. He is so good - watching him makes me think he is from another planet. I have never seen or heard or known of anyone famous who can do what he has done. He has the best dance moves ever, a powerful and distinctive voice, the best production ideas as evidenced by his music videos, concerts, and live performances, and he is a great songwriter, too. He is THE total performer! I wish he'd do a comeback. I read somewhere that he is planning on doing a show in Vegas. I wonder if it's true...
