Conceal/Carry and Windows Writer

So I have to post and comment on an article about the new concealed carry law that was just passed in Wisconsin. I will do that eventually but right now I want to talk about Windows Live Writer.

It is awesome. That is my first comment on it. I’m actually writing this post using it. It is part of the Windows Live package that comes on pc computers. Basically, it connects to your blog and you can write a blog post without having to sign into the blog online.

Let me explain why this is awesome to me. I have two gmail accounts. One is my Carthage email account and another is my personal account that I used before I had my Carthage account. This blog is under my personal account, though, which I never use.

So, since my blog is used via my personal account, I am forced to sign out of my Carthage account. Now that I have found out about Windows Writer, though, I don’t have to log out of my email (which I am addicted to and need open whenever I am online). I just have to open Writer and type a post. I can even preview it.

Pretty fancy if you ask me. It also spell checks. How lovely.

Concealed carry coming soon. Probably.

Worst blogger ever

I'm sorry that I have been totally MIA. I am leaving you here with trailers for the three shows that I've started following and a small review on each.

Grimm — NBC

The first episode was pretty good. It seems dark and a little creepy which is refreshing. The concept is decently unique, but I think it could have been done even without mythical creatures actually existing. The first crime he has to solve is basically a Little Red Riding Hood theme, which is a classic Grimm fairytale. The only problem I had with it is there is a line that says one of the abducted girls was on her way to her grandfather's house. Which is just a little too literal for me. It is on NBC at 9/8c on Fridays.

Once Upon a Time, ABC

Less dark than it's NBC counterpart. It is by the writers of Lost, so you can bet it will probably have a lot of complicated plot twists (they have already claimed that it will). It was a bit difficult for me to get into, but it will probably turn into a show where once you have seen a few episodes you are just confused enough to want to keep watching. ABC Sundays 8/7c.

New Girl, Fox

Although I'm not sure if this show will actually last, I personally think it is hilarious. That may only be because I like Zooey Deschanel. She is just awkward enough that you want to be her friend. Fox Tuesdays 9/8c. It follows Glee, which was a good marketing plan.

So that's what I have for you. I know it isn't much but my brain is tired.
If you have a chance, head over to the Carthage website and check out my two new articles.
