sensory overload

Finally, we have a date – 12 Feb 2009. Whether we in South Africa will get to see it then will have to be seen, but at least we have a date to aim for.

Loved the books, can’t wait to see what they do with them.

May I confess a new addiction? When I started watching, I was adamant that I would not like the show, because of all the, you know, inaccuracies. I mean, really, Merlin younger than Arthur? Morganna wearing high-heeled shoes! The injustice of it all.

But I continued watching, and, towards the end of the season I actually reached the point where I am thinking about the show when I am not watching.

It probably helps a little that both Arthur and Merlin are kinda dreamy *grin*

Can’t wait for season 2 to start.

Now, onto Robin Hood, which I believe is just as addictive.

This looks awesome. I love the other Lego games on Xbox, and this one looks like it will be as much fun :)

Can’t wait :)

 

WATCH IT HERE

It looks like we are only going to see it November/December locally though.

Gizmodo - Star Wars Death Star Grill Unleashes the True Power of Dark Meat - Star Wars'

When I got all excited after my previous post telling my husband which of our favourite shows were returning, he asked about the one show that has really grabbed him and that was sadly not on the list, Dexter (mostly because there were no Showtime shows on the list).

From what we could previously see, the future of Dexter was in the balance, but I did a bit of googling last night, and it would seem the scales tipped the right way, because, thank goodness, Dexter is returning.

List from here. I have highlighted the ones I am really happy about in green, highlighted those I am unhappy about in red and left those I haven’t seen/don’t watch/don’t care about untouched.

I have been holding my breath for weeks now about Chuck, and I am so glad to see things are looking up for this show. Also very very glad Big Bang Theory has been picked up for at least another two seasons – I am completely addicted to these geeks.

Why am I disappointed that Smallville has been renewed? Well, let’s see. We are going onto season 9 now of a show that started off really awesome and then morphed into a badly written soap. I cannot believe this drivel is being continued while good shows keep getting the axe.

I wants one!!!!

Darth Vader Toaster

When sipping your morning coffee from Darth Vaders helmet, you can now also brand your toast with a silhouette of the Dark Lord of the Sith, using this Star Wars toaster.

This black, ominous kitchen appliance easily leaves the mark of Vader’s helmet in every yummy piece of toast. Slather some Bantha butter on top, or make two pieces for an extra-Sithy BLT. Force power not required to operate toaster.

The Darth Vader Toaster is estimated to arrive in January 2009 and the product can now be pre-ordered for $54.99 from the official Star Wars webshop.
