The Gist America is totally obsessed with superheroes, the supernatural and vampires. I mean, seriously. Here's three new upcoming television shows to prove it!
"Lost" creator J.J. Abrams has created a new series called "Fringe" which is a cross between "The X-Files", "Altered States" and "The Twilight Zone". The series premieres on Fox, September 9th.
And for all you vampire lovers out there, a new HBO series called "True Blood" is getting ready to drop. Created by Alan Ball, the brains behind "Six Feet Under", "True Blood" is based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris and premieres on HBO September 7th.
And finally, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon has been working on a new series called "Dollhouse" and is scheduled to release on Fox in January 2009.
And in other news, developing an iPhone application could be your ticket to the high life. According to 9to5mac.com, Eliza Block makes $2,000 per day from the little iPhone crossword app she created called "2 Across". Download it from iTunes here.

Um, thanks? WE BOUGHT A BRUSH!!
Btw, Indie Music Haiku!!!
San Francisco Girls
Pick their music nice and rad
Make my ears happy
It's a bit...
... frustrating that Indie is being exploited. Yes, it's a genre. But people use it in the wrong context. I guess people like to be labeled Indie, because it's sort of a "style" now.Best part was the end!!
It was a good show.. Sarah did a kick ass job as always.. But the end was the best!! When she attacked the poor innocent IPhone arm! I almost peed in my pants!!! Funny!!!!Mujon is so blah!!! Can we get her to smile a little???? But not fake smile like smile smile.....:)
Hmmm...
I always thought Indie music was from India!! I feel retarted, Now... Thanks guys.. :)
-Rene
P.S. sorry for misspelling Moujan's name earlier... I still want smiles.. and not Evil smile I'm going to kill you and eat your children smile!!! Just a little "Hi I'm happy smile...
Ohhh I really miss DR Kiki... :(
and the Nerd Bird.. :~(
Also one little question in Hi Def everything looks super clear but in the beginning Sarah was like pixelated or like standard def for like 5 minutes.. Is it just me?? Or did anyone else notice that?
Did I mention I like Sarah standing so so so so so much better!! Ok I'm done!
-nite
OHHH one more! Can we be invited to watch a live taping like Tekszila!! Had so much fun yesterday with Veronica on IRC!!!!! She's so nice and friendly..
The live taping rocked my world!
