The Park

I am in-lust with James Marsters. Damn.

Four things I’d like to watch next year.

Heroes. Pros. Plot centric. Fast-paced. Awesome cliffhangers. Cons. Plot-holes galore. Mediocre dialogue. (The writers have this one direction going from A to E that sometimes they don’t even bother following B, C, and D.)

Studio 60. Pros. Sorkinese on late night TV. Strong and intelligent dialogue. Cons. Smug-ish. Mostly unfunny sketches. (Sorkin airs too much of his personal grudges in Studio 60. He needs a therapist.)

Ugly Betty. Pros. Evil Mark. Snarky Amanda. Bitchy Wil. Adorable Betty. And yummy Henry. Cons. Cheating Walter. SofiaxDaniel = Ick. (Boo to the Salma mini-arc. And Walter is so not working.)

Drive. Pros. N/A. Cons. N/A. (With Tim Minear at the helm, I am truly looking forward to this show. Yes, I heart Tim.)

Ah. I can’t believe I haven’t watched a single episode of Veronica Mars this season. The sacrilege of not knowing the epic romance of Veronica and Logan. Oh, Jason Dohring, forgive me.

Hmph. I think I am beginning to be annoyed with the folks at OMGsong. It is starting to be too clique-ish. Bah. I believe the voting system is starting to discourage budding singers. I’ve listened to a few songs that were rated “Good” (7) or “Decent” (6) but my ears tell me they should rate higher. I mean, the site is not aimed at professional singers anyway. Why should we subject too high a standard? In fact, I lheard this one track that was rated “Weak” (3) when it should earn a higher mark. Oh, well.

Insanity is relative. Or at least, that’s how I excuse myself.

I submitted my entry for the AnimeSuki’s karaoke competition. It was an old-ish recording of Ai Otsuka’s Planetarium from last August. Have a go if you want to listen to it. I think I posted this here before.

But the newest addition to my omgsong list is Chihiro Onitsuka’s Arashi ga Oka. A preliminary version. I haven’t learned the whole song yet. ^^; So I can only sing the half. In addition to that, I couldn’t reach the high notes around 1:20 through 1:30. Cringe, much. I couldn’t figure out the smooth transition to falsetto. Argh.
