Oh, ick.

I saw the US Life On Mars trailer, and that was just wrong wasn't it? I wasn't too worried about the remake, because I figured if they used the premise in a new way, a good series could be made, but wow, that was painful. The guy who plays Sam is really wooden, and hearing him say John Simm's lines was weirdly unsettling. I usually like the guy who is playing Gene in this version, but I don't think he really works as Gene. I don't like that they're using the same/very similar script, but I expected it. Most remakes use the same script for the pilot. So, I'm not going to watch the first episode, but I'll probably watch the second episode if it's different from the original script. And if I can sit through that guy's acting.

Today I went over to my grandpa's house to set up his brand new computer. He got a HP desktop with 3.00 GB of RAM, a 280 GB hard drive and a DVD burner, that cost $1000 with the pretty LCD monitor. You know what he'll use it for? Email and reading the news. I guess when he bought the computer a salesman convinced him to buy that model, even though he couldn't really afford it and he didn't even need it. It pissed me off, but oh well, at least he has a good computer now. He had to get a new computer because he opened up an email he shouldn't have and got a virus that pretty much destroyed his computer. So today I set up a gmail account for him and I installed AVG, and he's learned his lesson about strange emails, so hopefully his new computer will last him longer. He's had a computer since I was little, but he's never really gotten a hang of it, I thought that maybe a Mac would be better for him, but I doubt that he would be able to get the hang of a whole new operating system when he's barely getting the hang of Windows after 10+ years.
