Does not wanting to watch the "Hope for Haiti" telethons make me a bad person? I tried watching the "Canada for Haiti" telethon, but it was so dull I couldn't stand it. The band that came on was pretty lousy, although I admit that they were probably just not my thing and others may have enjoyed them. But the banter from the hosts was simply exhausting. I have no idea what Ben Mulroney was talking about at one point, but he'd have been better served piping down and letting Rachel McAdams speak up. And the less said about Brent Butt's pre-taped "comedy bit" the better. I figured by pledging I did my part though, and now I'm watching the Simpsons and Justice League with relatively little guilt. Barely more than I usually have hanging over me.
But still, does not watching it make me a bad person? Probably. I'm not though.

Hi there.
Not much to say today. I'm going to see the Kids in the Hall perform in Toronto tonight and I'm pretty excited about that. Kids in the Hall is probably the funniest Canadian TV show of all time, and it's really nice being able to see them live (on top of which it's the last date in their current tour, which is pretty nice too).
The last issue of Justice League Unlimited came out yesterday. It was a pretty good issue, but it's still a kick in the head that the series is over. Apparently it has a lot to do with changes in DC Comic's publishing plan for it's Johnny DC line -- less emphasis on titles based on animated series (JLU, Teen Titans Go!, Legion of Superheroes, The Batman), more on original titles (Tiny Titans, Superfriends, Shazam). It's still a shame though since JLU wasn't a bad title and hit a nice medium between the mainline Justice League of America book and the more kid-friendly Superfriends, something kids and adults can both enjoy.Finally, I found this neat blog rating system thing. Apparently I'm G-rated, which I guess is good (?).
More later, I suppose.
