Geekfest 2006

Hopefully, this will be a short blog day because I’m tired, I’ve already been on the internet too long as it is, and I just at a whole footlong from Subway and I’m feeling kind of nauseated.  (not “nauseous,” which is incorrect.  “Nauseous” means to make someone sick, not to feel sick.  So, if you feel “nauseous,” you actually feel like you make someone sick.  I very often feel like I make others sick, but not at this moment, since the only other being in the room is Shadow.  I feed him, so he likes me.  Also, he’s asleep.)

Holy English Lesson!  I become geekier by the hour, don’t I?  

So, I totally got in on this phenomenon at the last moment.   I started watching My Name is Earl and The Office (the American version) on Thursday nights before Without a Trace.  These shows are freaking hilarious!  I mean, I don’t drop everything to watch them (if I do that with any more shows, I might as well just lock myself in my house and arrange to have a hole knocked in the wall when I die, because I will weigh a thousand pounds and that’s the only way they’ll be able to get my body out before it starts to stink.)  They’re fun when I do watch them, though. My Name is Earl because I feel like it’s a portal into the Bootheel, which is the redneck capital of Missouri and where I grew up.  I mean, sometimes when I watch that show, it’s eerie.  And I love The Office because I loved the British one.  I’m not sure which one I like better.  The American version has an awesome cast (Steve Carrell, Rainn Wilson, and that tall good-looking one who plays the same part Martin Freeman did in the British show) but the British one is so… British.  Anyway, these shows are the funniest thing on TV right now, especially since Arrested Development was cancelled.  

Speaking of TV, right now I’m watching a 20/20 special on Grey’s Anatomy.    I’m going to be brutally honest here.  Even though they’re showing real-life medical stories that are interesting and heartwarming, a small, shallow part of me just wants to see Patrick Dempsey.  There, I said it.

Okay, that’s all I’ve got.  Tune in some other time when I have more to say.  Let’s hope that someone does something interesting around me so I can document it.  (Come to think of it, this may be the reason people don’t do interesting things around me.)  Till later,
