Today, I'm going to take care of two tasks: continue my holiday shopping and check out Star Trek: Nemesis at the theater. Right now, I got about 5% of the shopping done, basically getting my list together on who I'm sending gifts to and what they're getting. I won't tell you what it is, but some of the stuff ranges from T-shirts and comics to DVDs.
Again to all my online buds that read this: You are getting something from me this holiday! So start checking your mailboxes over the next few days.
I'm hoping to get everything done gift-wise by Dec. 18th. I doubt that I will, but it's nice to have a goal.
After I'm done with the shopping today, I'm going to check out the movie. I'll let you know how it is at a later blog.

Hey there. A small update on my holiday shopping plan. I've got some clues on what I'm buying for a few of my friends. What's so funny is that they don't suspect a thing, especially since I've talked with a few of them over the past few days. They'll be so surprised.
My dream Xmas gift list: A camcorder (MiniDV or 8mm), any or all of the Star Trek TNG or X Files DVD sets, Playstation2 games (Grand Theft Auto Vice City tops my list), A Red Wings hockey jersey, and a new car, especially in red, my favorite car color. That's about it for now, I'm sure it'll expand as it gets closer to Dec. 25th.

It has begun.
I have started my holiday shopping.
Mind you, I don't hate it as much as I dread it. I like to go to the mall, especially since there's one near my home. I just dread trying to find the right gifts for everyone, especially my mother, who's always the hardest to shop for.
I caught a break on the first of what will be many trips to the mall before Xmas. There wasn't the mass of humanity that I'd expected during the first week of holiday shopping. I think it was the fact that I went in the middle of the week where everyone was still at work or home from work that took the edge off.
A few years ago, I'd made the mistake of going to the mall with a friend of mine during the first weekend of holiday shopping, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Talk about being surrounded. I couldn't move or walk much at all throughout the whole mall area. I couldn't wait to get out of there so I could breathe some fresh air. Since that day, I've made it a point to never have that happen again.
To this end, here's my shopping plan. I'm making several trips to the mall right around the late evening hours (around 6 to 10pm), I'm also doing some shopping online and I'm also paying close attention to what my family and friends are saying so I'd know what to give them.
I got a couple of gift ideas in mind for my family and I'm also have some ideas for my friends, both online and in person. Now this goes out to all my online buds that are reading this (you know who you are): I'm letting you know right now that you WILL be getting something from me in one form or another by December 25.
And for those of you who are saying, "Hey, you don't have to do that man" Well it's too late. I'm doing it 'cause that's the kind of guy I am. And you may be surprised as to what you're getting.
Anyhow, I'll keep you informed on how my shopping's coming along. My goal is to have everything done by December 18th, a week before Xmas. But knowing me, I'll probably be working right up to when the stores close on Christmas Eve to get everything, especially for my mom.
One more thing I wanted to mention. I'm glad to see that the Werewolf TV Series website is back up and running. My friend Joey, who runs the site, has once again made it look outstanding. He gives new meaning to the term "webmaster", because with this site he continues to live up to the job. His tireless dedication, time, hard work and effort with the site (http://www.werewolftv.com) is incredible. On top of the fact that he's doing this along with his regular job makes it even more amazing. Anyway, congrats again Joey on the cool look and you'll get the latest story and episode guides from me real soon.
That's it for now. Later.

Hey there. Hope you're enjoying the holiday so far. Time to get caught up on some stuff:
Saw the latest James Bond movie, Die Another Day, a few days ago. I was quite impressed. It's been many years since I seen a 007 film at the theater, but it was good.
With December coming up, there's two films I'm looking forward to seeing on that month: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Star Trek:Nemesis. Seeing the trailers for them, I'm definitely psyched. I just hope that they don't suck, especially the Star Trek one since I'm a Next Generation fan from the first day the show premiered some 15 years ago.
Speaking of ST:TNG, I've noticed their DVD box sets at the store. I would buy them, except for the fact that they're too darn expensive. Like $120 or so a set. Too rich for my blood. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will get me one of them as a Xmas gift.
So far, I have four DVD box sets: The first two seasons of Buffy, HIghlander Season 1 and 24 Season 1. I know that by February, I'm adding Buffy Season 3, Angel Season 1 and The Shield box set (The Shield, by the way, is a very cool cop drama on FX that makes NYPD Blue look tame.)
That's it for now. Talk at you soon.

Hey there. Now that I've figured out how to put this together, what I want it to look like, as well as linking this to my site, here we go.
I want to first say thanks to my friend Rob for introducing me to this. This is a lot easier and quicker than my old Journal, so I can now write what I want to say and post it a lot faster.
Now, let's begin: I got my Spider Man DVD a few weeks ago. Love it! The extras are great, especially Tobey Maguire's screen test. I can see now why he got the role. I also got the Star Wars Ep2 DVD. A great buy, again I like the extras, especially the behind the scenes features and documentaries. And I finally gave in and bought the Lord of the Rings extended DVD, even though I have the regular edition. If the 4 disc set wasn't at such a low price or didn't have that free ticket for the second movie inside, trust me I wouldn't have gotten it. I did learn one thing: I won't be getting the regular edition DVDs for the remaining two sequels.
Well that's it for now. I could go on and on, but since this is my first full entry, I don't want to ramble. Later
