So, I noticed I've never written a blog on here.... Thought perhaps that's something I should start doing & there's no time like the present, right?!

My first subject will be about a show I've been DVRing for weeks.... TRAVELER. I just got the chance to watch all of it yesterday. Needless to say, I'm hooked! I mean, I watched all six episodes in a single day!!!

I love, love, LOVE Matthew Bomer & his beautiful light blue eyes. Loved him on Tru Calling as Luc, cried when he umm, let's say "left" the show. On Traveler, Matthew plays Jay Burchell. A nice guy with a nice girl at home, Kim (Pascale Hutton), that he wants to get back to ASAP. He's a faithful friend & boyfriend, the kind of guy we all want in our corner. Jay is studying to be a lawyer at Yale, which comes in handy while on the lam. His father was a soilder & comitted suicide as a result, it seems. He was raised by his mother, after she left his father to protect him.

I really like Logan Marshall-Green, too. He was not a nice guy on THE O.C. as Trey, but was a very convincing bad boy. On Traveler, Logan plays Tyler Fog. He's a good friend, seemingly bad boyfriend & clueless on good judgment. He trust's the wrong people & punches out the best friend he could ask for. He also attends Yale, don't remember them saying his major... He knows his stock trading though, as his father does that for a living.

Jay and Tyler play two friends who suddenly need to search for their friend, Will Traveler (Aaron Stanford). He was their roommate & friend for two years at Yale. One would think he must be taking film studies, as he's never without his camcorder for his video blog. How well do they really know Traveler? Let's go back a bit....

The three of them are to take a two month, fun-filled adventure to New York. Once there, they get a room in a nice hotel there. They order room service & hang out. Pay attention to the nice hotel porter (Billy Mayo). Their arrangement is: Tyler is paying for everything, Jay is supposed to keep them out of trouble, while Will plans everything... More than the first two could've dreamed up.

Will tells the guys they're going to a museum, The Dexler. Jay is reluctant, he's supposed to keep them OUT of trouble afterall. You see, Will wants Jay & Tyler to rollerblade throughout the famous NY museum, a harmless prank. Meanwhile, Will is to follow behind them with his camcorder recording it, of course. If they get split up they're to meet at the corner.

Jay & Tyler get to the museum with Will in tow, strap their rollerblades on, ready to go for it. The last thing Traveler says to them before they head down the steps... "Good luck." They take off down the stairs, Will isn't following them, he goes the other way. Museum visitors and security at The Dexler freak out when the duo goes speeding through on blades. The fire alarm is triggered, Tyler and Jay hurry out of there to the corner.

Jay's cell phone rings, he answers to hear Will Traveler asking "Did you get out?" Jay tells him yes, then hears "I'm sorry I had to do this." Then BOOM Jay and Tyler are blasted forward as am entire wing of The Dexler blows up behind them. Shoes back on, they run for the hotel. Once there they see themselves on TV as suspects in the bombing, considered to be terrorists! And so their true adventure begins... Where's Will, is he alive? Why is he sorry? They have to find him, as he's the key to their innocence.... Or is he?

I don't want to say anything more, in case they re-run the shows prior episodes or you can find them online. I will say, I'm happy to see Bomer & Green paired up in Traveler, surprisingly they make an excellent acting duo. Like Jay & Tyler said " He picked the wrong guys to set up."

William Sadler is excellent as always, an actor one sees and instantly knows. He plays Tyler's father, Carlton Fog, a rich, unethical son of a gun. Where does his son fall on his priority list? Watch and find out, you won't be dissapointed.

If you've never tuned in, shame on you!!! I beg of you to watch it, I don't want another great show like Veronica Mars to meet its demise. lol. I find myself still hoping for that to come back... lol. But that's another rant, one you can read on my myspace blog.

Traveler is fast paced, well written, unique, action packed, sometimes unintentionally funny & has a great cast!!! I will continue to watch every episode and pray that it isn't cancelled before it's run in it's entirety. I am anxiously awaiting Wednesday's new episode. Any other fans out there?

Kristen Bell won me over as Veronica Mars, which I unfortunately didn't get to watch until late last year. You see, I was at Fox's mercy for almost 5 years w/an occasional NBC break. (LOL) It was all my TV reception gave me before I got Dish! I...

Spider-Man 3
If you haven't seen the movie, go see it!!!

I thought Black Spidey was "Emo," as well. Though a bit dorkier than I'd have thought someone going for that look/attitude should've been. What with the dancing and all that......

Ghost Rider
"A big dissapointment, considering the cast!" Why watch a movie you know the outcome of within the first 15 min. of the movie? They could have done so much more with the cast they had. I was sorely dissapointed and wish I hadn't wasted...
