smallville had an interesting discrepency in the plot. and the story was not well developed. seemed like a rough draft almost. first thing is that they don't do a good job telling you about lex's brother. at one point they make you think that he might be a fake son conjured up by lionel. then you are left guessing for half of the episode if he's a real son or not. then you figure out that he is the real son. the conclusion is, he was only found when lionel made it possible for him to be found. it didn't feel like the part about the episode trying to make you guess if the he was the real son or not was not intentional. more like bad unstructured story telling. then the there's the part at the climaxof the story, when lex and his brother double teams lionel....it begins with lex's brother pulling a gun on lex after knocking jonathan kent unconscious. so we are supposed to guess that lex and his brother make up then decide to scheme against lionel? sure didn't seem like that was going to happen on how they cut out from that scene...especially when the brother was just about the shoot lex. and even if that is what we were supposed to assume, it seems like jonathan kent got knocked unconscious for no reason.



my american idol predictions. the best singers were from candice coleman, clay aiken, kimberly locke, and ruben studdard in no particular order. i did not think ruben studdard's performance was anything near the praise he got from the judges. and it is my guess that he won't be advancing. my prediction is that clay aiken and kimberly locke will advance. stay tuned. you'll find out 8:30pm tonight.



oh yeah, if you have a current passport, there's a deal to london that you can't pass up. you can get round trip tickets to london for less than $200.



nothing much went on today. went to this place called EZ Take Out Burger for lunch. here are my observations. the burgers and fries smell much like inn and out, except the smell is much stronger. you'll need an air freshner for your car. and i'm not exaggerating. inn and out has bible verses that reveal themselves at hidden locations (inside the drink, underneath the fries, while ez take out puts "Jesus Loves You" right on the take out bag. inn and out has the "double double". EZ's has the "double take".



they have 99 cent hamburger wednesday, kinda like mcdonald's 29-39 cent hamburger tuesdays. inn and out does their best so that the least amount of oil is absorbed into the fries. EZ's does their best so that the most amount of oil is absorbed into the fries....like a hybrid between inn and out and mcdonald fries. are they being competitve or are they out of fresh ideas (more like non existant original ideas.) the burger.....even though the bun was better than inn and out, everything else wasn't as up to par with inn and out's quality. i'd take a double double any day. also, their anti healthy way of doing things (more grease the better) doesn't appeal to me. nothing much went on other than that. i went over to nguyen's place to hang out. he picked me up a copy of my big fat greek wedding at best buy while he was picking up his copy. this should be my last dvd purchase for a good while. i have so many things i wanna do...read all these books i've been meaning to get to, add commenting feature to the gallery (requires installation of mssql), but i never seem to have enough time.
