Top 200? Fanboy Rants.

On the 19th, I finally reached my goal of making myOtaku's top 200 blogs. I came in at 198. A day later, I'm back at 201. This is what happens when you only update every other day. On the plus side, I'm up from 236, which I was stuck at from the moment I joined myOtaku until the day I copied Shinmaru with "Manic Vs. The World." I think my rank shot up to 229 (it pays to mimic, kids). When I changed my OB username to Manic Webb (instead of just Manic), my rank slowly winded its way up to where it is today. I got an application to work at Fry's Electronics. I've been having a hell of a time applying for retail positions. Probably because the manager at my old job doesn't work there anymore. Also, my old job wasn't retail-- it was market research. FOX premiered a new series called Point Pleasant, which is a supernatural drama. See, the battle between Good and Evil is about to take place on Earth, and the battleground is on the Jersey Shore. Commence laughing. Anyway, a teenaged girl (whose name I completely forgot) is secretly the daughter of Satan himself and some normal human woman. She has incredibly evil powers, but has no idea how to use them, because nobody told her that her daddy was freaking Lucifer until she reached puberty. So now she's torn between trying to live a normal life, her humanity, and her dark nature. Sounds interesting, right? WRONG! I saw the first episode, and it was like watching The OC, only a swarm of demonic insects killed a priest at the end of the episode. Here's the basic rundown of the first episode: Someone almost dies, sex, teen angst, sex, angst, sex, someone else almost died, sex, more angst, sex, sex, sex, swarm of demonic insects, sex, angst, and some more sex. I'm a little pissed off, because FOX cancelled Tru Calling for this shit. And Tru Calling was good. After half a freaking year of reruns, the Sci-Fi Channel is finally going to air some new episodes of Stargate. Rerunning episodes between seasons doesn't bother me so much, but Sci-Fi decided it was a good idea to air only half of the first season of Stargate Atlantis from July to September, and finally air the rest of the season in January. The last new episode they aired ended on a freaking cliffhanger. Will the Genii take over Atlantis? Did they kill Dr. Weir? Will Rodney act like a little biyotch again? Will Teyla continue to be fine as hell? I don't know. It ended on a cliffhanger! Much Love
