TV is a Teens Life



When talking to anyone in my Grade the TV references are everywhere!
The most popular being towards The Big Bang Theory, The Vampire Diaries, House, The Lying Game, Switched at Birth, Criminal Minds, Bones and CSI (the various versions). And more are coming, I can see Person of Interest, White Collar, Doctor Who, Once Upon A Time and The Secret Circle quotes coming in the near future.

The ones I watch religiously are: House, The Big Bang Theory, The Lying Game, Switched at Birth, White Collar, Flashpoint, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Criminal Minds, Bones, Person of Interest, The Secret Circle, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Merlin, Haven, Blue Bloods, Doctor Who and Once Upon A Time.

I've been waiting eagerly for Doctor Who, Haven, Merlin, Flashpoint and Bones to return. Wow, I'm displaying myself as a TV junkie.Well, I suppose that's OK, my friends are too. I guess that explains why there's so many TV references used when I'm with them.

The Bourne Legacy

Cite


Coming in Late on the Jason Bourne Program, I heard about a forth one coming out called the Bourne Legacy. So, I decided to get myself educated. There are three movies about Jason Bourne currently and I just started watching them this weekend. I've watched the Bourne Identity and the Bourne Supremacy and am currently working on watching the Bourne Ultimatum.


Official Trailer


From what I've seen thus far, this is one of the few series of movies that has continually been good. That's hard to find. Personally, I think the only series that's really nailed it for consistently having great films is the Harry Potter series. The last one being the best. I'm expecting this to be the same for the Bourne series.

This will be the first film without Matt Damon, how's that going to work? I suppose if Bond can do it, so can Bourne, but I don't think this is the same Bourne. It's coming out August 3rd no matter what and it will definitely be one of the must sees, so I'll just have to wait. I'm just hoping this doesn't screw things up.

The questions that the film arises and the shocking answers, if there are any, make for a thrilling film every time, regardless. So, I'm going to remain positive about this change. Don't you just love spy movies?

I DID IT!


I fixed the title of this blog all by myself! I just needed to Google what to add to the html and change the header from center to left. But I can do it now! I figured it out all by myself, but I think I'll still go to mom for the most part. She has skills.

I find it amazing, though. How figuring one thing out can make you feel like Garcia did in this clip, proud and like a genius.

How much we know about Whitney?


Everyone knows that Whitney Houston is no longer with us. Unfortunately, not many people know who she was, at least, not many of my peers. 
I asked my friends if they knew that Whitney had passed on? They all answered yes and talked about the Grammy's. I asked my friends if they knew who she was? Any songs she sang? They could tell me that she was a singer. They couldn't tell me ONE song that she sang or anything else about her. Except a few who mentioned that they had heard that she died of a drug overdose.
I find it disappointing that such an amazing singer and a woman who was clearly loved may be remembered or thought of as a druggie or just "some singer."

The tribute to her at the Grammy's was beautiful. The ones who thought of the Grammy's all talked about how nice her tribute was and the stunning and emotional performance by Jennifer Hudson.
My hope is that Whitney will be remembered as the incredibly beautiful singer and woman that she was and not by the various rumours around her death.

R.I.P. Whitney Houston
