What a Day.

What I had originally planned to write is irrelevant at this point because I have had a difficult last couple of days and I will share them with you. If you’ve been following these articles with any regularity you may already know that I work in Vernon Hills until I’m transferred somewhere else leaving me having to commute to work from Rockford. That hasn’t proved to be a problem for me…I don’t mind the drive and after April bought me a BlueTooth Headset I was able to get a lot of calls to friends and such out of the way. Well, after getting to work with ease on Sunday and a few hours had passed I decided to get some food at the local mall. (Side note: There is a lot of great food in Westfield Mall) After I ate at the greatest named food shop ever, The Great Steak & Potato Co., I made my way to my car to get back to work. Problem is, my car wouldn’t start. Battery is fine, car won’t start. Long story short - I got stranded in Vernon Hills until April picked me up and brought me back home. What’s wrong with my car? Fuel Pump. There is nothing I can do at this point except hope I can get it back soon because as it is, I cannot get to work.
In other news, Mike Honson has been kind enough to include me in a set at Starbuck’s on Perryville this Friday at 6pm. The last time we played at a coffee house it went well. So, maybe I’ll see you there.
Initially CBS’ answer to “Lost”, “Jericho” has now become a cancellation-defying powerhouse in the line-up. An exuberant mix of “The Stand” and “Red Dawn”, the show follows the people of Jericho as they piece together information following an attack on the United States. Now embroiled in second Civil War with corruption and conspiracy behind every corner, “Jericho” is more exciting than ever. It is noticeable that private military companies are becoming stable antagonists in prime time, evident in past shows like “K-Ville” and the “Knight Rider” back door pilot. Jericho’s Ravenwood is every bit the sinister network team we’ve come to expect, but their motivations and interactions with the town folk are explored in further detail. With a steady mix of ominous conclusions and likable characters, Jericho airs on CBS from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM Tuesdays.
The worst thing a comedian can experience is a flat audience that doesn’t stifle a laugh at a single joke, but a weird role reversal is in play with the new Fox comedy “The Return of Jezebell James.” The laugh track plays out for joke after joke, but few are funny, making the results awkward for the audience. This is the same, for the rest of show is actually quite charming, centering around editor Sarah Tompkins (Parker Posey), who reconnects with her sister Coco (Lauren Ambrose) after Coco agrees to be her surrogate mother. The story is heartwarming, the characters quirky and the actors top-notch, but the show just isn’t funny yet. “The Return of Jezebell James” airs Friday on Fox 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM.
