Fringe’s Observer at Giants-Eagles NFL Playoff game!

While watching the NFL Playoff game on FOX Sunday morning, between the Eagles and the Giants, I saw the cameraman pan past the field of play, and slowly past the sidelines, only to silently reveal The Observer from the FOX tv show Fringe, standing on the sidelines! I almost missed it. I’m thankful the DVR is always running.

The Observer was there to, well, I guess just to “observe”! It didn’t appear like he was rooting for any particular team in the Giants/Eagles playoff game.

I just thought it was great for FOX to plant this little promotional nugget into the game. No credits were posted on the screen identifying The Observer. The announcers didn’t make any mention of it at all. There was just that slow camera pan, pointing him out silently, but clearly, to us who are always watching Fringe, observing The Observer.

Your Favorite Board Games For A Party?

While checking out Twitter this morning, we started talking about board games, and which ones people like best for a small gathering New Years Eve party (although I’m sure this applies to any extended-family party).

Basically, it is agreed that although Chess is an amazing game, it doesn’t quite have the right “zing” for a party atmosphere!

Our favorite board games to play on New Years Eve are Catch Phrase, Balderdash, and Compatibility.

What are your favorite board games for a family party (NY Eve, or otherwise)?

Thanks again for “Tuning In…”

2009 Is Coming; Bring It On!

While I had been focusing on Christmas, ever since Thanksgiving, it just now hit me that 2009 is just a day away! It’s hard to believe that it is here. I say, “bring it on”! 2008 has been a year of highs and lows. I am a traditionalist, in that this time of year always gets me looking ahead to the upcoming year (and beyond) and thinking about my plans, hopes, and dreams for the new year.

A few days ago, I created a thread in the GSPN.tv forums, at http://gspn.tv/forum/index.php?topic=2342.0, entitled “Hopes, Dreams, and Plans for 2009 (and beyond)”. I posted the following in that forum:

* Starting next week, I plan to get more organized. I need to de-clutter my garage, closets, and even my computer’s desktop and files.
* I need to re-up my efforts to eat better, eat less, drink less soda, drink more water, exercise more, and exercise better.
* I plan to stay focused on building my Voice-Over career, including my podcasts, my websites/blog, and staying active in the communities.
* I need to stay more balanced in all that I do.

I would like to add to that original forum post:
* I pray that I will be open to God’s leading in all aspects of my life in all the years to come.

Happy New Year!
