i've decided that i want a bird that can learn to talk, and i'll teach it to say "If I ever get out of this cage, I'll eat your eyes out!"

Confessions of a Spoiler Whore, though really, she didn't confess much, and it's not really about her being a spoiler whore. the subtitle ("The pleasures of participatory TV") would have made a better title. and hey! it's nonspoilery!

To read makes my speaking English good.


:::sigh::: i'll try to proofread better.

things that make you pause for a moment and say "what the…?"

The Price Is Right was playing in the lounge as i was getting coffee. Richard, a member of the USMC, has just bid the closest (without going over) on an appliance or furniture or something. Bob Barker, walking him across the stage to the next game, says "Come on up, Richard. Richard the Marine. Richard, I've got something that'll make any marine smile..." Bob was then interrupted by the announcer guy shouting "A new car!" and the audience cheering, but i'm really wondering what Bob would have said if he'd had the chance. did he not know his microphone was on? maybe it'll end up on one of those blooper shows that Dick Clark likes to host.

but can you imagine Bob Barker naked with his marine boy toy?

last night's syndiBuffy was "Ted." while watching, i suddenly realized that Ted's behavior is close to that of my mom's husband, with the whole seemingly the most pleasant and nice man he could be, except secretly to that one person he's a total psycho.

so, anyone want to help me take down a psychotic android?

new eps of Farscape start Friday.

i had the Farscape Best of Season One DVDs last week. we had trouble getting them to work. our DVD player kept saying 'no disc' while we screamed back 'fuck you!' eventually, the little devil-machine let us watch the first disc, with the Premiere ep and "DNA Mad Scientist." good eps. wish i could have seen what was on the other two discs.

in other Farscape news, Sci Fi Channel has scheduled a 23 hour marathon for May 31, beginning at 7am EDT.

yes, in fact, i am a six year old girl. and besides kitties, i like bunnies and puppies and cows, and i skip rope and play jacks and wear knee high socks, and do all kinds of other girlie stuff. frogs are slimy. boys are icky. i want an E-Z Bake Oven for my birthday.

i am so getting an XBox.

new host. new, pre-made cute-kitty type template. i'm cheap and lazy.

uh, yeah. busy day. a busy weekend coming up. and all i seem to do now is sleep. i take naps at lunch. i nap for a couple of hours after work. i oversleep every morning lately. on my days off, i go to be early. i can't decide if there's something wrong, or if i'm just getting old.

did anyone watch Greg the Bunny?

the only reason i'd return to console gaming.

have you ever realized suddenly that you haven't seen in years a particular CD that you know you owned? i haven't seen it since i moved back to Tulsa four years ago, and only now realized it.

the WB is dropping Glory Days. i don't know if the show sucked that badly, as i've never seen an episode and had no interest in doing so. besides, they put Angel on vacation to show that last few eps of Glory Days, which is a bad way to keep viewers like me who watch only Angel on Mondays. and it pissed me off too, so i wouldn't watch GD out of spite anyway.

speaking of pissing me off, the WB still won't be bringing Angel back until April 15. between now and then, they'll be showing repeats of the makes-me-want-to-vomit-because-i-hate-that-fraking-show-that-much Seventh Heaven. this means that here in Tulsa, our local WB affiliate, which has syndicated SHit on at 9pm, will be showing three straight hours of SHit (i mean besides the three hours of shit shown on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays). i can't wait until that show ends up on ABC Family. you know it will.

in other Gets The Axe news, the WB also cut No Boundaries and My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star. i'm so broken up by this. feh, not really. i'd never heard of either until now.

can anyone tell me why "Chuckles Bites the Dust" is considered the best episode of any series ever? i watched. i "heh"ed a few times. i didn't think it was all that great. the friend who made me watch it thinks it's hilarious, but MTM is to him what Buffy is to me, so i can't trust his judgement. or his stupid answer. me: "why's this the best episode ever?" him: "because!" me: "no, really, explain it to me." him: "because, she laughed, then she cried!" ok.

it hasn't been bad so far. i went back to bed for more sleep. later called my sister and asked her to give me a ride to the tire place, which means i got to spend the morning and have lunch with her. we also planned for dinner at her house, which she just moved into, on Friday. the tire place took forever, but they did it for free, so i'm happy about that. and lastly, i finally get to work, and i'm the only one in my department here! yip! a half day of not listening to my departmentmates inanities! yay!

yay! getting into my car this morning, i noticed that i have a flat tire! today's going to be a good day!

nothing happening today. everyone, please return to your homes and go back to bed until tomorrow. thank you, that is all.
