So in this weird increasing trend of me actually watching this big blocky television I have and actually using my cable for something other then weather reports and cartoon network, I spent a little bit of time in front of it tonight.

Supernatural was weird. At least the end of it was. Only say the last maybe fifteen or twenty minutes of it. Anyone see the entire thing and have an impression of it?

The premise, from what I could tell, was two brothers whose father has been hunting down supernatural killers but has disappeared and they are trying to find him now. One of them saw their mother get killed by something supernatural as a child.

Law & Order : SVU was decent. Story was the military using an anti-malarial drug with known side effects that was causing soldiers to murder and rape. Basically the sort of story where I spent most of the time thinking “Is this really supposed to surprise or shock me in some manner?” as I was watching it. Yes, I really am that cynical.

Daily Show with Jon Stewart though was the highlight of the night. At the end of the broadcast they had Kurt Vonnegut ( as in “Slaughterhouse Five” and “Breakfast of Champions” ) as a guest.

Vonnegut was hilarious. Despite looking ancient, he still had a sharp tongue in his mouth and a funny bit of wit to him. At the end he pulled out a list of ’shit I am tired of listening to’ and the one he had a chance to read was “forgive us our tresspasses, as we forgive those that tresspass against us” and his comment was something along the lines of ’someone tresspass against me and I am going to cut them’. Jon Stewart said he’d have the list posted up on the Daily Show website, but I am not seeing it at the moment.

Edit: ktbuffy let me know that the list has been posted up. It can be found here.
