Idon'twannabemeIdon'twannabemeIdon'twannabeme......

Another Friday night and the Zangz is back. For the next few minutes I'll be pounding on the ol' computer keyboard, puking out the least important facts and news about the geek world. All the while anticipating this evening's future activities as the newest Episode of Dr. Who is aired while many bottles of Bergoff Dark are emptied down the gullet which will immediately be followed by locking myself in my bedroom, turning off the lights and uncontrollably crying for the next few hours as Type-O-Negative's song "I Don't Wanna Be Me" is played on a loop tape. It's another wondrous Friday night here in Zangz's Vault of Geekdom!

This may be a shorty since there's not a lot to expound about here in the Blog of Geekdom. There are, however a few nibbles and bites here and there......

Gary Oldman turned 48 this week and has confirmed he will, indeed, reprise his role as Sirius Black in the next Harry Potter film. Oldman has been one of my favorite actors and usually takes on incredible roles that fly under the radar. I'm hoping he'll have a bigger role in this one than in the last two.

Two of my favorite TV shows are moving right a long at warp speed. Both Lost and 24 have had some really great story lines and plot twists this season. Lost keeps us guessing at every turn while 24 has killed off more than a few of their major characters. "Sole Patch" Tony, the beautiful Michelle, "Special Edger" as well as a newer character this season (Played by Lord of the Rings graduate, Sean "Samwise" Astin) have all been killed off, wasted and bleedin' demised. When will the carnage end? I'm just hoping to God that Mini Skirt Mandy pops in this season.

Lucas and his cohorts are slowly moving forward with a live action Star Wars TV show. Producer Rick McCallum recently was heard saying that they are writing the series right now. It's supposedly going to take place between episodes III and IV and will revolve around a group of bounty hunters. It's also supposed to be slightly geared more to us adult SW fans with a tinge of darkness to it. Don't expect it to be on your TV set anytime before 2008 or 2009. Please, Lord, let this be on a cable station I have!!!!!

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (sequel to my all time favorite video RPG, Morrowind) just hit the shelves this week. It's designed to be played on the Xbox 360 as well as VERY powerful computers. It's getting rave reviews as being one of the best, open ended / sandbox gaming experiences of all time! There may be a few frame rate and loading situations that critics are griping about, but, all in all, this looks to be a game that may put the GTA games to shame when it comes to player imearsiveness. Sadly, I'll have to wait a few eons before I can afford a '360. Perhaps then the game will be on the greatest hits list and will be less than the $60 price tag the game carries.

Since it's been a slow geek week here in my Blog of Geekdom, I guess I'll have to bless you with yet another chapter of.......
