It used to be that everything I watched was in the fall or spring, but I swear I'm more interested in summer entertainment these days. Let's see...

Leverage - June 26

Top Gear - June 26

Torchwood - July 8

Deathly Hallows II - July 15

Pottermore (aka Time Wasting on the Internet) - July 31

Am I missing anything?

I started playing last night (after I figured out I could finally download it - I'm a bit slow), and there was JOY in my heart when the first phone call that Nancy gets, she and Ned proceed to have a fight. :D :D :D Ned was completely whiny and annoying, saying that Nancy liked her cases better than him. (Duh.) He then went over to have a cry at Frank and Joe's place. DUMP HIS ASS, NANCY. DUMP IT LIKE 3 TONS OF DIRT.

Frank was even a bit of a pill about Nancy and Ned's fight, but I'm going to believe it was because he had to deal with a weepy and annoying Ned. It's enough to put anyone in a mood. WELL. If they think Nancy is going to call them for any clues this time, forget it! They'd probably want her to actually talk to Ned and stuff, and that is just not on.

On the actual game, I haven't played very much yet, but I kept getting lost in this German castle. It's like a frickin' hamster habitat! After an hour I think I was starting to get the layout straight. Fortunately so far I haven't had to go into any creepy basements armed with only a glowstick. ("Curse of Blackmoor Manor" was still the creepiest ("You want me to go in there basically feeling my way along the walls? FU."), although "Shadow at the Water's Edge" had some creepy The Ring-style moments.) But fortunately this game doesn't seem to be time-based (I can't find any alarm clocks, at least) - makes getting lost less frustrating.

ETA: Oh wait. Maybe the alarm clock is on my phone. I don't remember seeing a clock on it though. Hmmm.

I'm super excited for Leverage and HP. :)

Another show that looks entertaining is Suits! It looks like it has the potential to be witty and entertaining.

Hmm. Haven't heard about that one. I'll have to take a look!

I LOVE THAT OPENING! GOD, NED, TAKE A CLUE. (Haha.) And yeah, if I had to deal with Ned being Mr. Crabbypants, I'd be in a Mood too. Maybe he's made Nancy hasn't dumped his stupid ass yet? Live in hope.

I know the game will probably have them make up, but for now I can enjoy the temporary Ned banishment. XD

The sad, sad fact is that Ned does actually have a point. Well, something of a point. Nancy is fairly one-track about her dedication to crime-solving (one day, maybe she'll get paid for it!), and she is kind of dismissive of him and his interest in her life (ahem). But at the same time, shouldn't he be more supportive of her interests and career?

Also, he sucks.

NED BANISHMENT!

BAH. *grumbles* She needs to find someone who can solve crimes with her. Like Frank.

Does video game Nancy still have sassy lesbian friend George?

She does! Although George usually appears by phone.

Pottermore (aka Time Wasting on the Internet)

AKA fandom go BOOM. Fun fun.

YES! Good for those long days at the office. popcorn.gif.

And unlike the rest of the country, I actually want to hang around in the cool house when it's hot. The winter is when it's nice and I want to be outside.

Thanks for the heads up about Top Gear! I didn't know a new series was starting.

Yup! At least according to wiki it is. Surprising that the BBC would announce a date and time so soon, though. I mean, there are still 3 days until air date. ;)

was wondering when Leverage was started so thanks for the heads up.
is it at the same time as last year at 10pm on sundays.

I think so? No, wait. Looks like it's on at 9.

oh thank god. i have all ready two shows im recording at 10pm but i think the new show will hit the boot soon but im giving it a chance.

Summer is the time when most of my shows are on too. In addition to Leverage, Top Gear, and Torchwood (though I'm on the fence with that one), I have White Collar, The Closer, Burn Notice, and Warehouse 13. Many shiny things to watch!

I'm so glad that at least cable has decided to do new summer programing. Networks will probably forever be stuck in their rut.

Probably -- as they get less and less relevant. And if you miss an episode (or the dvr screws up) of a cable show, no problem! Just tape/watch the next one. On the networks you're out of luck unless you want to search it out on-line.

And then a lot of times it's only on Hulu and won't let you watch until a couple weeks later or something. By that time I've usually given up.

Kammi meets her favorite soap actor for the second time - June 23rd.

Who is it? :)

He is the one in all the icons you helped me create. Michael "Sonny" Corinthos, Jr. Played by the wonderful Maurice Benard.

So what is this new Torchwood thing that's happening? I keep hearing about it but I don't know how or where or when to find it!? Helps!

July 8 on Starz!

Aw man I don't think I get Starz! :C

Do you subscribe to Netflix? If so, you can watch Starz live at Netflix's website.

Aha! A brilliant plan! I don't actually, but my cousin does and we steal his Netflix with no shame at all! Thanks for your help! Can't wait!
