Day 13



BufBloPoFo Topic for Day 13: When the writer’s return kicks back in and all the good TV comes back, what’s your viewing list going to be?

Oh, easy topic for me since I only watch the following shows.

Rock of Love 2 (Good TV? Who needs Good TV when there’s EXCELLENT REALITY!)

Nip/Tuck (which just had the season finale and I shouldn’t watch because it is ridiculous but, Dr. Christian Troy. Oh MY GOD.)

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (which was finished for the season already before the strike AND HAS TO GET THE 3RD SEASON RELEASED ON DVD SOON!!!)

The Office
Wow, only one show I care about was involved with the strike.

Oh, and the CBC Syndication of Arrested Development every night at 5;30. Yes, I own all the DVD’s, yet seeing it daily makes me smile.

“Quit trying to strike everyone out – strikeouts are boring; besides that, they’re fascist. “

Baseball Braces for Steroid Report From Mitchell

But the report will state that there is a lot of information the investigation did not uncover, the person said, making it unlikely that baseball’s steroids issue will be put to rest.

Aren’t we in the middle of a war? WHY THE HELL IS MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL AN ISSUE BEFORE A CONGRESSIONAL HEARING? WHY ARE PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA DROOLING WAITING FOR THE PRESS CONFERENCE AND REPORT THIS AFTERNOON?

News Alert 10:53 a.m. ET Thursday, December 13, 2007

Video: Steroids in Baseball, 2 p.m. ET
A long-awaited report on steroid and performance-enhancing drug use in Major League Baseball will be released at 2:00 p.m. ET. To view live streaming video of this event on the Web (courtesy of MLB.com), go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/postlive1.

God I hate baseball. I hate it even more with each damn news report I hear.

(Ok, I do admit, I like going to Minor League Games once or twice a year for the wholesome America factor and the movie Bull Durham because, well, Crash Davis and I blame that more on my unreasonable desire towards the “arrogant, cocky sexy bastard.” See most recently all entries regarding Nip/Tuck and Dr. Christian Troy.)

“You just got lesson number one: don’t think; it can only hurt the ball club. ”

Randomments.

Randomment #1:

I’m really tired and coffee isn’t helping. I’ve been fighting the early morning/late night chest/throat cold now for a few days. This morning, I woke up feeling utterly ucky. And no, it wasn’t from drinking last night. I had ONE delicious Cosmo at the Junior League Holiday Party and a hearty dose of Nip/Tuck.

Mmm. Nip/Tuck. I wanted to come right home to bed and then I remembered it was Nip/Tuck night! Mmmmm!

Aside: what the heck is going on with this show? What happened to all the kids? Isn’t Christian taking care of his adopted son? And Julia? Does she have children at all? Has Connor’s name been mentioned this season? Why are the two blondes still on the West Coast anyhow? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every minute of this season, (some minutes involving Christian more than once) so the confusion can’t be only mine. However I will say last night’s episode was action packed. And I think I might want to go buy a gun after seeing Julia and Christian at the shooting range.

Randomment #2

I think the FedEx man might have ruined Christmas. This morning, I stayed in bed late, drove Mark to work and then came home to get ready for my own workday. Right as I was ready to leave the doorbell rang…

DingDong.

The FedEx man had a package for me. I mean, for Mark. I signed for the wee package and in my early morning not feeling fantastic pre-coffee fog said out loud “I wonder who sent Mark a present?”

The FedEx man countered with “Well, someone must love him because he just got an iPod.”

Dingdingding! WARNING BELLS! What a dumbass I am! Maybe Mark ordered something for ME? An iPod? Something I totally wasn’t expecting! Damn! Did the mailman just tell me I got an iPod for Christmas? No way! I checked the box, nondescript brown packaging (hmmmmm ;) ) with no way for me to tell where it came from. Ugh. I HATE the fact that I think I was just SPOILED on a surprise.

I called Mark to tell him the story, sad and sullen and he said “Hmmm, I wonder who sent me an iPod?”

My co-worker thinks that maybe the FedEx man was pulling my leg. I however think that he probably delivers hundreds of these packages daily. And now I wonder if maybe the FedEx man WAS playing with me? Although I can truthfully say, I wouldn’t have even thought iPod. Digital Camera? Ring from Etsy or the Penguin Store?

I hate the fact that this could be ruined for me. GIVING presents is my most favorite thing in the world to do. In fact, I might have already given Mark two things because I just can’t wait!! I’m just too excited!! I however, like the surprise if getting. I don’t want to know! (Unless it is a surprise party, which I HATE the idea of, I must be in control of all things.) Although right now, I’m admit absolutely brimming with glee that I might have an iPod.

Damn FedEx man.

Enough Randomments. Let the day begin, so I can get to bed.

“I wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt with a stranger…”

Name that tune? ;)

“Out Tonight” from the musical RENT, of course! Lyrics, here.

Today, I woke up and decided to wear *First Date Skirt* A lovely little red plaid skirt that always makes me feel great and has worked it’s charm on a few first dates. Of course, it’s retired. And so are the stories…at least on this blog. ANYHOW, I’ve probably put it on once or twice since my first date with Mark. Maybe? But today it was calling out my name.

In retrospect, when I just heard the commercial for Nip/Tuck and I said “Oh, Dr. Christian Troy somethingsomethingsexyhotbeautifulbadbadmansomething” Mark asked out loud if that’s why I wore first date skirt today. No. Um, I don’t think so.

So here’s the real story.

I went in the kitchen and said to Mark. Paraphrased because I lost the exact words when trying to write the sentence above about Dr. Christian Troy. ;)

“So, I’m wearing first date skirt…”

“I see…”

“And it’s making me want to go out and flirt tonight…what’cha gonna do about that?”

“Do we have any soup?”

“DO WE HAVE ANY SOUP?” The romance is dead. And of course we have soup who do you think I am?

“I didn’t hear the last thing you said.”

The romance is dead.

“Tell me what you don’t like about yourself.”

Damn it Nip/Tuck. I’m sucked in.

All those commercials during It’s Always Sunny in Philadephia 0n Thursday night just keep on reminding me how much I love to hate these characters. What a wicked thing that Dr. Christian Troy. So KevinCostnerCrashDavisBullDurham cocky but 1000 times more so…

What I don’t like about myself? My ability to get sucked into television shows. I’ll be watching.
