Television: February 2007 Archives

sorry about the photos.  really.  i am.  the other laptop is still broken.

we watched some good old american idol tonight.  it occurred to me that there are two people on television that i cannot stand to watch or listen to.  i honestly think they are alien crack babies and i would much rather have a dentist yank all of my teeth out without anesthesia or be forced to eat my boogers.  really.  do you know who i am talking about?

paula abdul and bob costas.  i know that bob costas is not on that show.  but i realized that my disdain for paula is the same as it is for bob.  both of them should not be allowed to be on tv.  children should not have to endure their image.  in fact it is so bad, when i turned to thomas to get bob costas' name, i asked him who was the sports caster i disliked as much as paula... you know, the a$$.  his response: bob costas.

why must i watch these people on tv?  who do i have to sleep with in hollywood to get both of them off of my tv?  i am willing to sacrifice and take one for humanity and sleep with george clooney if it means they go...  ok.  i'd sleep with him for free.  but my point is: why, god, why?

i love people watching in cafes, bars, restaurants, malls.  airports are awesome for this.  but sometimes, your hair won't let you go out in public and it is way to cold to brush your hair.  so i resort to watching tv.

i watch a lot of tv and a lot of movies.  more than you all probably know or care to know.  case in point.  thomas was asking some obscure movie questions last night at dinner.  i nailed them all.  the bad ones included.

so when i can't be out to watch people, i tend to enjoy shows that have very spectacular characters.  grey's anatomy, gilmore girls, lost, heroes, etc.  all of these shows have a story line and such, but the thing that is striking about each one of them is the characters.  how they are extreme thrown into weird situations that are developed over time.  i love this.  i love seeing them mingle and connect.

i personally have never needed a show or the mall to tell me everything about someone i am watching.  it is enough to figure them out for the situation they are in and then work with it.  the past comes with time... it is the current reaction that is fascinating.
