Season 2 of The Venture Brothers was so worth the wait. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Seeing the montage death scene of the boys was fucking hilarious, the various bits with the Monarch in jail were priceless, and I can already see several of the plot arcs that they're going to be mangling this year. Love it love it LOVE IT! Watch this show.

My sleep schedule is getting on my nerves, so I'm trying to stay up all day to get it to cooperate. This means that I have to occupy my time somehow, which means I'm now here, in the blog posting thingy, making up an excuse to type.

It's really sad how excited I am about TV programs that are coming up. It's bad enough that I have the thing on pretty much 24/7, but do I really need to base my life around it? Oy...

[as] is the big perpetrator here. This Sunday is the opener for season 2 of The Venture Brothers. Hold on a sec while I tighten this belt with my teeth, because I want this shit straight to the vein. I have been craving the 2nd season of Venture Brothers in ways that would embarrass Courtney Love. Oh, and the icing on the cake here is that in a few weeks [as] will be playing PeeWee's Playhouse. Is that fucking awesome or what? The scariest part is that the first commercial they played featured the breezy pre-themesong song with a black screen that said something to the effect of 'Remember this?' and it took me roughly 2 seconds to identify it.

Oh, and have you seen Moral Orel yet? I didn't like the pilot so much and was afraid that it would go into the suck bin with 12 Oz. Mouse and Perfect Hair Forever. But apparently they decided to fuck with my head and make that the suck episode because every single one after that has been a gem. I just love seeing the silly Born Yesterday outlook on life getting a sharp poke in the eye.

There is another season of Project Runway coming up too, and I'm practically pissing myself in anticipation. Will they make a hat-trick of it and have someone I hate in the final 3? Will they come up with an even more fucked up last minute twist? Will Heidi get knocked up in time to show off another dubious collection of maternity wear?

And all of this doesn't even compare to the list of shows that I keep meaning to watch but somehow always manage to forget. So sad, those poor programs waiting patiently for me to turn to them and watch like I promised, but I never do. I'm sure they feel like cheap whores, but they still wait. The bitches better wait.

Completely pointless thing to bitch about

The end theme for the latest season of Inuyasha that [as] has been playing lately really sucks. It's so bad, it's the ultimate in J-pop boyband fluff. Every other end theme on that show has been in the decent to good range, and now they want to throw this tripe on it? No, no, no!

I hate it. I want the people responsible for ordering, making, producing, and greenlighting this particular song for Inuyasha to be fired and I want their children to be mocked in school. And if they dare to make this mistake again my wrath will be inconsolable. I might even consider something as drastic as...

I dunno, couldn't think of anything. But you guys better watch it.

You Are The Devil

You don't represent evil, but you do represent the animalistic side of humans. You demonstrate what happens when we listen to our first instincts. At times you tend to be materialistic and hedonistic, giving in to temptation. Admit it, you're guilty of acting first - and forgetting to think later! Your fortune: Right now, you may be having a difficult time as a result of choices you have made. You need to think about what's important in your life, and discover what chains you down. It is the time to acknowledge your faults and take steps to overcome them. It's also the time to let go of any fears or inhibitions that are holding you back.

The cooler is now in the window. It's quite nice in here. Indeed, the desk is chilly.

Sure, encourage my insomnia.

The ginger flavored Altoids taste kinda weird. Not bad, just weird. I wasn't as surprised as I was by the liquorice ones, which I had assumed would be an intense spicy kick.

There are two layers of sickness at work here. The tins are the main thing, of course. I'm going to run out of room on the narrow green metal shelf I'm magneting them to soon, so I'm gonna have to find more places to stick them. But it's also that I can't stand to just toss the damn mints out - even the not so tasty ones. I have a big stash of them in a baggie right now, and it feels like cheating. I will resist for as long as possible not to mix mint flavors.

When I start to think seriously about using them in a recipe I will know I have crossed the line and throw them out. I promise.

It's so hot. Soooooo hoooooooot. No cooler in the window, no pads for the cooler, no battery in the pickup to drag the cooler to the window. Fortunately the heat doesn't kill me as badly and a little fan will suffice.

I know, I've been lagging. Once the hubby came into the IE I've basically been MIA. Hell, we got home on Wednesday and I'm only now getting the email out of the box. I'll see if I can remember anything of substance and still make it worth the read. Or not - you don't have to click it if you don't want to.

You so want to...

You should have gotten a snack ...

Well mostly. The horror movies haven't gotten here yet. But I am sufficiently suave to call it a party. We gotta wait til the veggie stuff is off the grill so that it can be tainted by meat. I still have to vacuum in here, shit!

So, so lagging...

You Are 42% Selfish

You are quite balanced. You are able to compromise when it's in the best interests of those involved. But you're no pushover. If something is important to you, you'll get it!
