First off, Happy Town? THAT IS NOT AN ENDING. DIAF. I wasn't so invested in the series, but I was expecting something better.

At this point I still like The Good Guys but I'm more watching it for the sake of watching it, not because I really enjoy it enough.

And Hung, I have enjoyed so far. Team Tanya! (IDK if that's a real thing, I glanced at something on Facebook about who is the better pimp and I love to hate Lenore, so.)

Last night I watched this movie called After Sex. I LOVED IT. It's a series of vignettes of couples talking right after sex. If you liked Waking Life or movies like that where it's all just talk (I call them "straight plays on film" even though most films can technically be called that), I recommend you seek it out. :) It was only on my radar because Emmanuelle Chriqui was in it but the rest of the cast is pretty good, as are the conversations. Also, James DeBello was never really on my radar much before (creeper from Swimfan!), but in this movie I realized he looks like a cross between Seth Rogen and Brendan Fraser and that kinda blew my mind.

THERE'S A NEW PSYCH COMMERCIAL, EVERYONE. Apparently they can't officially upload it until January due to licensing or something but omg, I love this showwwww. I just wish Henry was in it too. There's six people in the original video. :/

Haha, I'm over here waiting for Brothers & Sisters and realized it's not on today. :P

( The Big Bang Theory )

( Melrose Place )

( Supernatural )

White Collar is back on track. I'm excited to see how this plays out. V is kind of boring, but I'm not bored enough to stop watching, and I feel like things are going to heat up... eventually. Modern Family was hysterical, if the guest stars fell flat and Sunny was eh. I did like Frank messing everything up.

Caught up with everything I missed last week, omg.

( Brothers & Sisters )

( How I Met Your Mother )

( The Big Bang Theory )

( Modern Family )

( Supernatural, lol this is so looong )

( IASIP )

( White Collar )

And I found episodes of Secret Girlfriend online so I caught up with that. I only wanted to see it for Sandra McCoy, but it's frat boy humor and completely random so I'm enjoying it. Plus, the female cast is completely made up of girls I've seen in other shows before so it's great for cracky crossover ideas.

Big Bang Theory wasn't as funny as I expected it to be. I kinda saw through the whole fanboy-actor fan service idea and the B-story was almost insulting somehow. Eh.

White Collar, though, was better than I expected, although I'm still wondering how the series will unfold. It reminds me of Leverage and Burn Notice and Neal feels like if Barney Stinson and Shawn Spencer merged.

Onto the point of this post. I cleaned out my computers recently and picked up a few tricks and software along the way, so I thought I'd share a few links. I tracked down two Windows equivalents to two Mac-only apps, although try those at your own risk since I haven't (obviously) tested them. Most of them are shareware, but I haven't run into anything besides reminders to pay.

StickyWindows - Back in the days of Mac OS 9 you could turn your windows into tabs along the bottom of your screen and every now and then I'd still catch myself trying to do this. So now there's an app that brings it back! It keeps my desktop cleaner, while still keeping the windows I need right there.
DiskInventoryX - Scans and then presents the contents of your hard drive in a graphical way, so you can see where the space hogs are hiding.
* Windows: WinDirStat and/or SpaceMonger
Hazel - NEAT MAINTENCE UTILITY. It's gold to have, trust me.
* Windows: RoboBasket
OnyX - Runs maintenance tasks, clears out log files, deleted orphaned files-- all in all, it helps un-bloat your system.
AppCleaner - Generally Macs don't use uninstallers, but sometimes things get orphaned if you just throw out the application (preferences, log files, etc.) There's also AppZapper and AppDelete, but AppCleaner doesn't have restrictions on its free-ness. XD

iScreensaver - Make your own screensaver! Available for Mac and Windows. (I'm using this ripped by File2HD.com)
SaveHollywood - Turn any Quicktime file into a screensaver. I used to use this to play movie trailers before, but I don't download trailers much anymore. Every now and then I'll be obnoxious and set a Weebl's video on there.
FadeText - Displays any text as a screensaver. For a while I had filled this with Shoebox quotes, and then I had the lyrics to "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" by The Beatles. :)
