I'm in Chicago for the first time in my memory. I don't count the time I went through there on my way West when I was a wee kid. I'm here on business, but I'm staying through the weekend for fun. So much to see and so little time to see it all. At least the first two days are on my company's dime.
This does mean that I will be without Internet connection as of Friday night, so sorry if you're looking for me, which you're not anyways. I'm taping Idol, so I'll have to wait a couple of days to see who's out next (Matt's gone
I'm currently watching Smallville. I'm more than half way through the first season (no spoilers please) and really enjoying it more than I thought I would. As people previously noted (both online and offline) people start to drop off around seasons 3 and 4. I'll let you know how it goes, but that's months away if even this year.
One thing that sucks is retcons. I like to read trivia and notes about shows I watch when I'm catching up. However I had to stop reading them for this show. Some notes are giving away spoilers from future episodes, and in some cases giving away episodes from future seasons. That sucks. I've already heard about two minor characters that die. I think I know one of the major deaths too and that sucks.
Spoilers suck.
I have a hankering for re-watching Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. I was missing JL Season 5/JLU Season 3/JLU Volume 2 from my DVDrips collection. I got sick of waiting for the Internet to provide them with me, so I got myself copies of the DVD's (thank you library) and ripped them for myself.
I then realized that I have a few DCAU shows like this so a quick visit to my library's website and I have 5 DVD's lined up. Then once I get them I'll rip them for myself and be content.
For those wondering, this is legal use in Canada and I'm not talking about distributing the files, so it's not even against DMCA or whatever it's called.
Anyways, I have this hankering from just listing to the theme once or twice. There's just something powerful about it that makes me want to re-watch the whole DCAU in reality. If you don't know what makes up the DCAU then read up. Although I don't care about Zeta too much and I've not seen much of Static Shock.
Too much TV to watch right now even though I have just lost a new show.

I know what you mean; I've only been to Quebec once, but it was only to use the john on the way to the east coast, so it doesn't really count.

That's a really great picture! Did you take it? I wish I could travel, there are so many places that I'd like to go.

I Love Chicago! that's #2 of my favorite city's Followed by Denver which is #1. I've been to Chicago 3 to 4 times because my mom's got family there. I Think my mom's brother or sister lives in a condo about 3 blocks away from where that pictures taken, they own a boat and I got to ride down that lake and got to see that side of Chicago from the water, it was great.

Sorry all. I've been home for almost a week, but I've been going through "new carpet hell" so I've been off-line too much. I have much non-TV stuff to blog about (Chicago and carpet).
Hi Mom - Yeah, the airport sucks. Okay, so it was the weather that was at fault, but I think I'll leave that for my next blog.
Thanks Sassy
Hi Jimmy - At least you can say you've been to Quebec now
Hi BB - Nope, not my pic. Having been there I know it's taken from the water (i.e. a boat) and seeing as the cruise I wanted to take on Monday was cancelled (Monday only) I didn't get the opportunity.
Welcome Addict - I won't call Chicago my favourite place, but I will go back again. So much to do and I barely scratched the surface.
