New York City and Olivia Munn PT. 1...

First new post in a looooong time!!

 Things have been pretty crazy recently. About a month ago I started taking some college classes —one of which is English— and after writing essays and such for school I’ve been left with little desire to write anything else. Not to mention, there hasn’t been too much excitement to report on. All this said, I’m still going to try and periodically do some updates as I think of anything worth typing up and posting here. It’s probably not going to be daily, but hopefully often enough so that we can keep some people coming back.

  OK now that I got that out of the way I do actually have a story to tell -about a trip to New York City last weekend- where we got a chance to meet Olivia Munn! I've been meaning to put this trip into words for the blog and after a week, and some outside encouragement to actually get off my ass and do it, Ive finally found the words to tell the tale.

I’m going to type the story in a few parts. Some of you will be able to skip one part of it as it will purely be informational for those of you who don’t know who Olivia Munn is; I suspect 75% of you probably won't, but I guarantee you all will know her name soon enough. The rest of this entry will serve as the informational part, so if you already know who she is then there is no real reason to read the rest of this; though you should anyway because I took the effort to type it, so read it jerks!

Every weeknight at 7 on the cable network G4 there is a tech show called “Attack of the Show”. For those of you not familiar; it’s a daily mash up of viral web videos, commentary on technology news, and reviews of the latest gadgets, mixed with an occasional comedic sketch. It’s the perfect show for the 18-30 year old male, though I'm sure many women in the same age group probably watch as well. For me there isn't a whole lot of television that I make a point to be home for, but this is one of the shows that I do.

On the show; hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn break the latest tech news, while humorously playing off each other with a kind of chemistry that is rare in live television. The show certainly suffers when one of the two of them is absent from a episode: the guest hosts not able to recapture the chemistry that Kevin and Olivia share on screen. Most of the show is most likely rehearsed, but they do seem to do a fair amount of ad-libbing as well; Olivia providing much more than just the eye candy that you might expect at first glance by showcasing an edgy sense of humor that often catches viewers off guard.

 Outside of the show the hosts remain in seemingly constant contact with fans through means of the internet and their own personal blogs. They update their Twitter accounts several times a day filling us in on the latest happenings in their lives, as well as post occasional online videos, making it feel like they are both very approachable stars.
