Watching TV

I come from a family of TV junkies. My parents and my oldest sister are addicted to Chinese and Korean soaps. My other sister used to catch a lot of TV shows but she's too busy with her baby boy now to watch anything. As for me, I have to get in 2 hours of TV a day. Nothing like turning off the brain for a couple of hours after a long day of work. And much cheaper than paying 10 bux for a movie ticket.

A few of my favorite shows I follow back home are 24, Prison Break, Survivor and Amazing Race. Luckily, 24 and Prison Break are available online but only for viewers in the U.S. though. No biggie to get around. All I do is VPN into Cisco so Fox.com thinks I'm logging in from San Jose =) It works marvelously and best of all, the shows are in HD. Right now, I stream the shows from my Macbook to my Sony Bravia to watch it on a bigger display. Technologies is great aint it?

Speaking of technologies, this season of 24 is really really good. I love the show also because it is sponsored by Cisco so every epidsode has tons of Cisco product placements; from the IP Phone to WebEx to Telepresence. Call me a geek but I love love technologies. If you don't know what my company makes, just watch 24!

My favorite line this season comes from President Allison Taylor. Yes, our real life president is black and our president on 24 is a woman! I love this country =)

Anyways, the season starts off with the typical monumental threat to our national security. This time, the bad guys broke through the firewall that supposedly protects our national infrastructure and has control of the FAA systems. They threatened to crash planes into each other if the president doesn't do what they tell her. After she was briefed on the threat from her Chief of Staff, her immediate response was...

"This is unacceptable. It's just technologies. We should be able to unplug these bastards!"

HAHAHA...that was the funniest line ever! I had to rewind it over and over. Don't you think "W" would say the exact same thing? CHANGE is coming on Tuesday folks!

Okay, back on point. I've also been able to keep up with my Warriors (fortunately or unfortunately is debatable) with the help of my friend who gave me his NBA league pass account so I can watch the games online. It's been working great so I'm really happy except the Warriors are just terrible. I wish Mullie would just fire Nellie but that's a whole blog for another day. Being a GSW fan is definitely hard, very very hard...
