RAM #1: Supernatural Dancing at the World's End with Henry
Figured I'd flesh out my more coherent, thoroughly researched posts with a few random thoughts that might merit further exploration at some future date. Random-Access Memories, if you will - you probably won't. But if that's the case, just nod and smile benignly.
I finally finished The World Ends With You for DS. At first I was weirded out by the shameless Japaneseness of the game - there was statue-polishing and evil frogs involved - but this has got to be one of the best video games I have ever played on the DS. It's inspiring a new entry here, methinks - one about the DS games I've managed to root out of the endless pile of "Pony Princess" and "Penguin Olympics" kiddy sort of crud that seems to come part and parcel with this system. There are good DS games - they're just really hard to get a hold of.
I watched Regarding Henry last night, and though it's nowhere near the epitome of Harrison Ford movies, it wasn't as bad as some things I've read made it out to be. Basically this jerk lawyer gets brain damage and learns to be a better person. It had the potential to be sickly sweet, and I'm glad it never went there. And bonus - Harrison Ford has nice hair in this movie. This coming from a smitten fangirl, but meh. Check another off the list of "Harrison Ford Movies To See."
I also interrupted watching of said movie to skulk out Dancing With The Stars. Yeah, I'm really drawing from the bottom of the barrel here - but thankfully, it's the last week, and the dancing is actually quite good. Can't say, however, that those freestyle dances were anywhere near the quality of those I've seen in the past - Shawn Johnson's is still my favourite:
And I've finally managed to acquire Supernatural Season 4 for a reasonable price, so I'm happy to say the Jensen Ackles drought has ended. There's never anything good on Peasantvision these days. Anyway, I'm up to episode 11, and eager to keep watching (though the Goddy stuff is a bit of a turnoff for me), so I'm a gonna go do that now.
