“I’m not insane, my mother had me tested”
“I cry because other people are stupid and that makes me sad”
“Bazinga!”
I was bored!

Jamie Oliver @ Home
Recently I sat down to watch some TV and was drawn in grossly by Jamie Olivers ‘Jamie at Home’ TV series, so I grabbed seasons 1 and 2. While I love the fact that he pulls nearly everything from a garden, and really want to use a wood fired pizza oven. There was something that came to my attention. In the episode I watched Jamie made an “Italian Cabbage Soup”, while it’s not something I normally get into. The way this was created was very intriguing, of which I’ll dump the recipe at the bottom.
What got me was that this was not your ordinary Italian dish, when you go somewhere for Italian food. You end up with the same old stuff; pizza, pasta and a whole lot of not much else. People seem to be fairly

This post was done a while ago, but I forgot to publish it. I highly recommend checking out some of Jamie’s shows as he’s starting to go to some fascinating places around the globe.

Top Gear Season 14
Once again my favourite TV show has rolled into another season of high school boy mayhem. While I didn’t get to see all of season 13, I’m hoping I will get to finish it (thanks to some dodgy codecs). Season 14 kicked off on Sunday and I’ve already got the first episode to watch soon. I wasn’t sure how much longer Top Gear would go on for, especially after Jeremy Clarksons sopping story about the end of V8′s and supercars at the end of the Season 13′s last episode. But it looks as though they are back with a book of new silly tricks, and of course. Some say he isn’t machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles – TERMINATED
I received an email from a co-worker this morning, we both got into Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles heavily and were eagerly awaiting a third season. However he passed on the news this morning that T:SCC won’t be coming back for a third season, which I think sucks because it’s been a good show so far. Seems as though shows are being “Foxed” and not axed. If it doesn’t pull enough viewers they kill it off.
Heres the blog post from the shows creator yesterday. Or today for those in the U.S. I think!
By now most of you have heard the news that T:SCC is cancelled. I received a call earlier today from Peter Roth at Warner Bros. and I appreciate both his personal and professional support throughout this show’s life. I know a lot of you are angry about the cancellation and want to find a place to direct your anger and to that I say do yourself a favor and find a way to move past it. Every network wants a big fat hit, especially one with a brand name behind it, and Fox was/is no different. They supported the show, they supported my vision of the show, and they gave it plenty of time to find an audience.
And what an audience we found: passionate, intelligent, kind of nuts in a good way. My only complaint about the T:SCC fans is that there aren’t ten million of them. But I prefer to be happy for the ones we had instead of lamenting the ones we didn’t.
Good shows are cancelled every year; smart shows, worthy shows, shows which move their viewers to write blogs and have viewing parties and create action figures and bury executives’ email accounts under thousands of messages. I miss Deadwood and The Wire and Arrested Development but thank God that I still have Rescue Me and The Office and a recently renewed Party Down written by ex-T:SCC writer John Enbom.
Bad shows are cancelled, too. And certainly there are those who did not like what we did and had their own vision for what a Terminator TV show should be. It’s easy to look at low ratings or cancellation as “failure” and for those who believe we’ve gone about this all wrong I’m sure today’s news will only serve to confirm a world view that I would never try to change. We’ve written the show as best we can, executed it to the best of our abilities, and sent it out in the world knowing that we worked out asses off to do something that wouldn’t be a waste of anybody’s forty-three minutes.
Thanks to a brave and talented cast, a feature crew working on a TV schedule, and everyone else who I could list but won’t because they know who they are. Mostly I’d like to thank those of you who’ve supported us and fought for us and given up hours of your life to watch our show. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s about. The watching.
Hope we do it again soon.
