For Your Viewing Pleasure

There's a new show on the syfy channel called Face Off.  In it, makeup artists take a challenge to do their best work.  One week, the goal was to create aliens.

I haven't watched the show yet, but I've watched the promos, wondering if they were going to get to something I'd enjoy.

Wednesday is it.  The next episode is called "Switched and Hitched."  10 pm Eastern; my vcr (yes, I still use a vcr) is already set up.

Last week, a new show started on the Oprah channel.  It is called Our America.  I happened to see an article about it and I'm not even sure why I read it but the reviewer mentioned that the hostess, Lisa Ling, was going to meet with five transgendered people.  I taped it, but haven't watched it yet.  I just checked the website and it says that the premiere episode was on faith healers and the upcoming episode is the transgender one.  I'll have to try to tape the show again this Tuesday (10 pm Eastern) if last week's wasn't the one I wanted.

I'm probably living in a cave, but I didn't even know Oprah had her own channel.

Finally, Stana, in her wonderful Femulate blog mentioned a movie called "The Extra Man."  She mentioned some trans content, but she hadn't watched the full movie yet.  I commented that it's available for download on Netflix but my kids can see the queue so I wasn't sure I'd take that route.

Amazon has it in their "video on demand" section for $3.99 for a 48 hour rental (direct link here).  Here in the cave, I didn't even know Amazon had a video on demand section!

Now all I need is a couple of quiet hours and some popcorn and I'll be all set.
