The Pong Krell Saga

So I really can’t believe that they spent like four episodes on Pong Krell vs Clone Troopers.

I seriously think they could have done it one episode. Two was a bit much–four?! Seriously?

From the moment Krell stepped in the scene I knew that he had inclinations to the Dark Side and would be killed or would be used for an episode arc. Yet the story was more Clone oriented and the various Clones striving for individuality which I do like seeing but this rendition of it I think was too typical.

Yes, there was a lot of action scenes that were great but it seems that they’ve run out of ideas.

I’d like to see more of Palpatine, more Jedi Council, more classic Jedi from the Old Republic. More Chewbacca–possibly some Han Solo. Definitely more Ahsoka and Anakin–especially where Anakin truly teaches Ahsoka. I feel there is too much implied with the both of them.

Oh and let’s not forget Season 3 Episode 14: “Witches of the Mist” ending where Savage Oppress is told that Darth Maul is still alive(?)–”that both he and his brother had an important destiny to fulfill in the galaxy.” Why couldn’t we have episodes on that?

Or what Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka make of the occurrences that happened in”Ghosts of Mortis“

So hopefully we’ll get better episodes than the Krell saga. The Krell Saga is the The Twilight Saga (films) but for The Clone Wars. Madonn.

Nostalgia

I typed on My Hermes Rocket Typewriter the other day.

Funny I did it because I don’t have a printer(–yes, its bad I know. In this day and age…). Yet it made the process of typing all the more worthwhile. Insomuch I actually posted something. Madonn.

I love my Hermes Rocket. If one day computers ceased (…yes, the horror) I’d be fine typing away on my typewriter.

Which reminds me I need to finish typing my novel on it. Anyways…

Which brings me to this…I bought a Motorola Razr…

No, not that Razr.

This Razr:

–The Motorola Razr V3 Matte Black. Although the Droid Razr is very nice, its rather a wee bit large for my taste. Beside all other things I’d like to have it but probably Verizon won’t let me. Even if they did I don’t much like the $299.99 price tag. Who knows, maybe in six years I’ll buy it! Look at the price drop of the V3 Matte Black:

Indeed .

“Why?” you ask would I purchase such device in 2011–almost 2012…probably for the same reason I bought the Hermes Typerwriter.

Nostalgia.

Yeah, I’m going to use it. I like the fact that it’s a GSM Quad Band phone–although that fact may not be so useful as before as I am no longer employed by the airline and don’t travel outside the Continental USA that much anymore. Although if I go to Canada or even Puerto Rico again (although my Virgin Mobile phone worked perfectly there. Oh, I miss thee Puerto Rico). But overall it’s form factor and nostalgia.

Plus I’m kind of tired of the whole smartphone thing too. I totally blame the iPhone and AT&T for that. Mostly AT&T–yeah,  AT&T. As I couldn’t even use the phone part of the iPhone 85% of the time.

I was going to just use my iPhone 3G on T-Mobile but that wouldn’t be as much fun. Maybe I’ll have to buy an iPhone 2G. ^_^

iPhone 5 Prepaid

I think it’s a long time coming.

If the iPhone 5 comes out with the option of being prepaid it will be impressive to see the sales along with the usual contract sales which in and of themselves will be impressive.

I’d even think about getting an iPhone despite my turn off by AT&T and the whole experience I had.

It’s definitely unsailed waters.

Netflix…


I cancelled the DVD portion of my Netflix a couple days ago. The DVD Feature was what made Netflix.

I still have the streaming but I just can’t justify spending the extra money for the DVDs. The streaming is decent enough but I’m even thinking of getting Amazon Prime.

Actually its because they have “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”.

But then again I don’t buy from Amazon that often to take benefit from the two day shipping.

I really think that Netflix screwed it up with the whole seperation of their DVD component. Only time will tell if I’m right.

Lest Netflix continues to add to their streaming portfolio it will ultimately degrade a vast majority of their market share.

Who knows….

SiriusXM < Zune Pass

Yeah so I cancelled my Zune Pass today after having it so long. After obtaining  Satellite radio a couple months back I haven’t really taken more advantage of the Zune Pass like I did when I purchased my Zune intially.

Also I sparingly use my Zune anymore but that may be due to the ban at workplace of electronics (but that’s a different story–for another day).

So for the last couple of months I’ve been listening to SiriusXM Internet Radio and in the car. It’s been great. However a Zune Pass still beats SiriusXM on the ability to select tracks.

Yet for that I have adopted MOG for that purpose.

Facebook Intergration & Google +

I don’t like it. Facebook Intergration is great but there are so many cons I believe.

First and foremost I don’t like that Facebook is being all pushed around like an OpenID–a passport of sorts.

I like sharing events and items of everyday life as much as anyone. However not to the point where Facebook is or is going. I think it’s mind numbing.

Google + with using only full ‘real’ names is bizzare I think. I know we have LinkedIN and Facebook using real names–Twitter too. However as long as I can think of we’ve always had our handles and those whom have chosen to use their full names have and at times retain their handles alongside or just their handles.

It seems almost un-internet-like to require all this verfication.

This is the internet right? Or is this truly the open web?

Turtlenecks

I’d have to agree with Diplo when he states:

The turtleneck is the most flattering thing a man can wear…because it forces a man to project himself.
 
Think it’s totally true.
