I got an email today from the google/blogger people about the eventual end of FTP support. some where in the back of my mind I kind of wondered about this since it said it had to re-upload like six megabytes of data every time I made one minor change to the blogger template. It seems kind of expensive to do that for everybody every time. The email, which blogger saw fit to send me six times in an hour for some reason, mentioned that only a small percentage of blogger users actually use the FTP feature and it takes way more engineering man-power to maintain this to such a degree it is not really economically feasible. Even for Google apparently. Which I think makes since on some level.

So what I will probably do is first convert this blog over to the provided sub-domain that blogger provides and then start working on converting over to wordpress. I mean it's not that blogger is so horrible it's just that I'm paying for this domain name anyway so why not actually utilize it in some degree passed what I could just as easily be doing as a free site. And I've been meaning to convert to something more powerful that blogger anyway. I suppose I'll just convert all the other blogger-based pages I have to simply free ones since I doubt anyone is really aware of them or has them bookmarked. So good then, a motivation to switch over to WordPress.

I was a little depressed when i got home yesterday, as may or may not have been apparent from my post, so I just started watching TV shows on Hulul. And I watched, and watched, and watched...probably eight or something hours I watched TV shows.

As I may or may not have mentioned in recent posts, I don't drink. Last night would have been any other normal person's excuse for a good binge drinking good time with large amounts of cheap alcohol. Instead of binged on TV shows and didn't leave bed. I finally fell asleep around 12am. When I woke up I just watched more shows. The Internet-based ones like diggnation, totally rad show and tekzilla. And Hak5 is queued up. Okay, moving on.

I watched several episodes of 24, catching myself up. Man, that show really hasn't changed, has it? It's just the same old forumula. The cast changes, the set changes, but it's still the same old thing for plots and dramatic moments. Except this season apparently Jack is going to whine a lot about needing to move to L.A. to be with his family. And continue to say "I don't do this any more". Other than that it's more or less the same sort of plot and premise as previous seasons. I still felt it as some how compelling. Especially since the manager of CTU some how reminds me of certain experiences and parties that shall remain nameless. And that it has two cast members from BSG may or may not be worth mentioning I guess. I can only assume this is indicative of two or more BSG people behind the camera as well. If this will start to flesh out as far as plots and the over-all quality of the season is yet to be seen.

I also caught up on a sort-of liked show of mine, Dollhouse. It was one of those kind of under-the-radar sorts of shows that the network couldn't help but give a second season because they have had such bad experiences canceling certain shows in the past. They managed apparently to wrap the whole show up in two seasons. A wrap up that probably would have taken three to five seasons had ti succeeeded, shoved into two epsidoes. 

The final episode, entitled epitaph 2 apparently, appeared to be a continuation of an earlier episode that was never aired. So I guess it was kind of an ad in a way to buy the DVD sets so you have a better idea of the whole over-arcing story line. Epitaph 2 was way out of the normal episode formula since it's set ten years after the effective end of what the title references...the dollhouse. Effectively it was like a zombie apocalypse with characters from Dolllhouse. Lots of characters that weren't seen before, obviously sets and back drops unknown to the series, so on and so forth. 

Really I have a feeling it is to launch a comic book based spin-off sort of a deal to continue the story line. Well since the last episode jumps ten years the comic could cover those ten years leading up to epitaph 2 or it could just as easily continue from the end of epitaph 2 and show how that all plays out. I mean I am actually glad they did epitaph 2 instead of some phoned-in lets just write it, get the pay check and move on that some any other shows *cough*friends/seinfeld*cough*.

I never thought Dollhouse was Wedon's best work. I mean after Firefiy, Doctor Horrible and all those brilliant Buffy/Angel episodes I really would have expected him to some how pull out all the stops with over-the-top brilliance...but instead it was just kind of mediocre. Or maybe he just tried to get it started and then let the staff writers/producers take it over, I don't know. I'm pretty sure there were a lot of people left over from Angel that came to this show actually. And there were a lot of mediocre Angel episodes, to be sure.

I've hardly left bed for like 20 hours and I'm still tired some how. Strange. This day that was predicted to be raining all day, is currently sunny and 55 degrees or so, so I think I will go for a walk. Also, I can only wonder if my writing has improved from writing...33 posts in 33 days. I hope so.
