Knockouts The Ladies of TNA Wrestling: Vol.1
This is every Divas DVD the WWE ever put out. It has a 5-10minute segment about each of the girls. Gail Kim, Jackie Gayda, Traci Brooks, and Christy Hemme. Followed by clips of them modeling, another segment with them, followed by still shots. The music is repetitive, and the use the same sound bites from the girls over and over again.
The Gail Kim and Jackie segments I was not overly impressed or entertained by anything they said.
Traci Brooks is a very sexually charge woman. If you get a chance to see the segment of her at the baseball park looking for a new boy friend it's the best part of the DVD. Hear her off the cuff comments I think she has to be an inspiration for ODB some days. Christy Hemme is a firecracker, but this we already knew.
There is a brief segment on SoCal Val as well. It's nice eye candy, bit even that doesn't hold the value of the DVD. I think this DVD's value comes from them being the founders of what the Knockout's Division blossomed into.
Over All Rating: 1/5 Stars |

| TNA: YEAR ONE DVD Review |

I got my Brown Bag DVD Specials, and I am gonna watch them and review them, for all your enjoyment I give you the first installation of my DVD reviews.
----------
TNA: YEAR ONE
Just finished watching this DVD. And I have to be the first to admit that the production values of this disc are lacking. But that is not what this disc is about. This dvd is about the stories of the people who created TNA, who breathed life into the idea, and then refused to let it die.
After listening the stories I have much more respect for Jeff Jarrett for making his dream a reality. And I swear the more I hear from Dixie Carter, the more I am convinced she is the woman who is going pilot the wrestling ship that will go head to head with the WWE.
Matches:
AJ Styles v Loki (Senshi) v Psicosis v Jerry Lynn: (5 out of 5 Stars, I knew who was going to win and how and I was still glued to the TV)
To crown the first ever X Division Champion
Oh My Gawd! This match has four men nearly killing each other, but it has some of the most innovative moves and combinations that I have ever seen. And the format of the match itself was interesting. Two men start in the ring with two others at ring side. When ever a man is pinned or submits, he is replaced by the next man in the cycle. It's a double elimination match, so two pin falls and you done. Great match to watch, I would hate to try and write something with this kind of style.
AJ Styles v Loki v Jerry Lynn (4.5 out of 5 Stars)
Triple Ladder Match
More Oh My Gawd Moments and Holy Shit Moments then you can shake a stick at. You put three of the quickest most talented people in the ring and let them go no holds barred and you will not be disappointed with what you see. They go for nearly the first 10-15 minutes with out even bringing a ladder into the match (and the crowd is eating up the action to the point were they don't care.) This match is worth watch alone for the piledriver off the ladder.
America's Most Wanted vs The New Church: (2.5 out of 5 stars)
I am not familiar with the New Church, and I understand that this is much more of a brawl then a technical match. I understand the significance of this being the match that solidifies AMW as THE tag team of TNA for years to come. But over all I was not really impressed. Also lingering over this match was in my mind that I think Beer Money, is twice the tag team AMW was. But when I get to the tag team DVD we will get more into that. Also Belladonna who was managing The New Church with James Mitchell is not very hard on the eyes.
Raven vs Jeff Jarret (4 out of 5 Stars)
NWA-TNA World Title Match
It's a pier 6 Brawl, a technical masterpiece, and bloody mess. As with anything with Raven you are going to have a good psychology to the match. Jarret bring his technical prowess to the table. While it's not going to be filled with high spots like the X-Division, it is a great match. And watching Raven help the ref unlock the handcuffs, priceless! And on the eye candy meter I think Mickie James looked much better in TNA, with the sort of skater attire, and before the impants.
Over All, the I was spell bound by the DVD. It could have used better production work or editing of the dialogue might have made it more professional. How ever the unedited interviews gave it a more personal feel.
Final Rating 4.9 out of 5 Stars |

Okay folks Tanya is doing theatre again, and I have a lot of free time on my hands and a Netflix account. So I am gonna start watching movies and writing about them!
Tonight's movie was Role Models
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430922/
I found the first hour boring, and barely watchable. (Mouthy Kid was entertaining, LARPing portrayed in poor light.) If I had not been doing dishes at the time, and my hands covered with soapy water I would have turned it off. But I am glad I didn't.
The last half of the movie was more entertaining. How badly can we fuck up taking care of kids? How can we do right thing in the end and make it entertaining? LARPing, Foul Language, and generous dose of the band KISS. I guess you could call it a pick me upper. There is no real lesson to be learned from it, the later bits were fun, and I was only occasionally drifting to the computer.
I give it 2 out 5 stars. |

So I am hoping to pick up an XBOX 360 around the end of the year. And one of the games I really want to play is Fable 2. I know it has gotten some very mixed reviews, but that is okay with me. So what I decided to do was replay Fable, The Lost Chapters. I picked up the lost chapters about a year ago, but never really played it since I had recently beaten Fable.
So a few weeks ago I fired up the game and it was just like the original and I worked my way through, got to the place where the first game ended, and then the game ended. After 16 hours of playing the game, I come to find out when I purchased my copy of "Fable: The Lost Chapters" I got a plain old copy of "Fable". So now I am angry and want to go do something about it, but GameStop won't care a year later, and I have no receipt.
GRRRRR! I hate that I didn't notice this earlier!!!!!! |

Politics and Geekdom:
I didn't write this is was sent to me and I don't know who put it together but it's wonderful.
*GM:* OK, the bugbear attacks you. What do you do?
*OBAMA:* I send one of my 672 henchmen after it.
*MCCAIN:* OK, seriously. Why does he have so many henchmen? I'm a level 72 ranger and he's only a level 8 paladin.
*OBAMA: *Well, if you'd bought the Grassroots Organizing and Oratory/Colgate Smile proficiencies you could min max it so that you...
*MCCAIN:* Why is he even IN this campaign? I thought this was supposed to be a high level party.
*OBAMA:* Well, maybe some people got tired of the grim and squinty "Matterhorn, son of Marathon" shtick you keep doing. Dude, could you be any less original?
*MCCAIN:* Oh my god, I did not leave my left nut in a tiger cage in the Tomb of Horrors to spend my Friday nights mopping up after the new kid.
*OBAMA: *"My friends, I am a totally unoriginal grizzled character class stereotype. I should lead the party because I have more testicular damage than that one."
*MCCAIN:* Yeah, well, you pal around with dark elves.
*OBAMA:* OH NO YOU DIDN'T!
*MCCAIN:* Whatever, so's your mom.
*OBAMA:* So's your FACE.
*MCCAIN:* So's your Mom's face!
*HILARY:* WTF you guys. Why am I playing the cleric?
*MCCAIN:* Hilary, we've been over this.
*HILARY:* No, dude. I am so sick of being the girlfriend healer.
Seriously, I can't even use a sword. Fuck this noise.
*KUCINICH:* IM A BARD!
*OBAMA:* That's nice.
*KUCINICH:* MY FAMILIAR IS A PURPLE SNOW LEOPARD!
*MCCAIN:* Oh, Jesus. Here we go.
*KUCINICH:* DID I MENTION MY WIFE IS A TOTALLY BANGIN DRYAD WITH 20
CHARISMA!!!!!!!!
*HILARY:* C'mon you guys, I've been playing this shit since Gygax was in eighth grade. Why can't I be the party leader with the magic sword for once?
*MCCAIN:* Because no one wants to see you in a bronze bra.
*OBAMA:* Oh dude, BURRRRRNNNN.
*HILARY:* SCREW YOU, Grandpa. I will so kick your ass.
*MCCAIN:* Yeah? Bring it! I didn't spend 3 years in the Abyss with
Githzerai hooking my nads up to a car battery to get beat by some Wellesley girl.
*HILARY:* WHATEVER, you can't even lift your arms over your head.
*RON PAUL:* I brought my Planescape character!
*OBAMA:* Dude, we're playing Forgotten Realms.
*RON PAUL:* I rift in from Sigil! I'm a Chaotic Neutral Tiefling

weed for everyone! WHEEE!
*PALIN:* Hi folks! Sorry I'm late! I brought caribou burgers.
*HILARY:* Who the HELL is this?
*MCCAIN:* It's cool, she's with me.
*HILARY:* No! No, it's not cool! Every time you bring one of your
rodeo-queen girlfriends in here she ends up playing some succubus
infiltrator and killing the whole party!
*MCCAIN:* Now, that is patently untrue.
*BIDEN:* He has a point. Cindy turned out to be a vampire.
*MCCAIN: *DUDE. SHUT UP!
*GM:* You guys, seriously, if you don't knock it off with the bickering I'm going to start docking experience points.
*MCCAIN: *You know what? Fuck it. I'm suspending the campaign.
*GM:* You can't do that! Only I can suspend the campaign! I didn't suspend it for the 1988 Mountain Dew shortage and I'm not going to suspend it now.
*KUCINICH:* YOU GUYS I AM TOTALLY CASTING A CANTRIP.
*MCCAIN: *Oh my god, Dennis, shut up, you don't even count.
*KUCINICH:* YOU GUYS ARE DICKS!
*BIDEN:* Where are the Cheetos?
*RON PAUL: *Wait. What happen to tiny Mormon Man?
*GM:* You find Mitt's lifeless, drained corpse and it's been stuffed in the broom closet.
*HILARY:* Oh, God DAMMIT.

Okay so I was asked by my boss to come into work on the Saturday (just passed) and open the building up and help out for the people who were changing over the computer system. (New Hardware same software). The New hardware has different ports then the new ones.
Points of Interest on my Company's computers:
-CRT Dumb Terminals at every desk.
-Wired with DB25 Serial Wire
-30 terminals
-10 printers
Things that I learned:
There is no standard for the way the pins on a serial come out at the adapters. Some times the wire itself with change the order of the pins. (25 pins at the end of a serial cable) Sometimes the guy who set it up customizes the pins to make the terminal speak to the mux boxes. Sometimes there are adapters in the middle that change what signal is on what pin. Red pin might be in slot #2 on one end of the wire, and might be in slot #2 on the other end. But if the adapter in the middle criss crosses them, then all hellc an break loose.
So what they (my bosses) thought would take between 6 and 8 hours on one day. Took 20 hours spread out over two days. We had 3 people from the cable company the first day (for 11 and half hours) and our programmer, and myself, and the second day it was the owner of the cabling company (coming back) my self and programmer, for another eight and half hours. It went above and beyond crazy. It was testing every cable and every computer...
But I survived and I taking the second half of today off, and all of tomorrow off. My boss tried to talk me out of it, but I decided I need time away from the office. So that is it for me for now! |

I made it to the east coast!!!!
The flight was hell. Red eye flight with a guy who elbowed me getting his water bottle. That woke me up and I wasn't able to get back to sleep. So I was up all night. My legs are too long. They don't fit in the spot where your legs are supposed to go, so my knees were in pain all day today.
I got in and managed to catch my connecting flight, got into Providence, got my rental car, and in the end I got where I needed to be. I am now on cape cod. I took an hour nap and gonna hit the hay soon. |
