At Home Entertainment

Friend is far more into Television than I am, but I do have a few shows I watch on a regular basis. I used to be more into TV when I was younger and had no life. Then, I could schedule my “life” around the shows I liked watching. Now, I am way too busy to even remember what days of the week the shows I like come on. I high five the very idea of being able to watch any TV show online whenever I want. Tivo is great… I think. I got it back when it first came out, and still haven’t learned how to use it. It can’t be that hard, my parents can use it… and they’re old. The truth is I never really watch TV at home. I have a screening room that damn near puts the Arclight to shame, and I really use it only for films. I rely on my down time at the office to catch up on the TV shows. This is where that Internet awesomeness I was referring to earlier comes into play.

As far as the shows I like to watch are concerned, this is the first week for me that the strike has actually had an effect. I was bitch slapped with reruns all week. I was wondering when it was going to happen, and I guess now is the time. It will be different for each show I’m sure. But when all my shows are on reruns I will become very unhappy. So far I have lost “The Office,” “Big Shots,” and “My Name is Earl.” I still have “House” which is my favorite of all of them, but I have a feeling it will be out of pre-strike stock episodes really soon.

I guess we’ll see. Friend will probably post more about the strike tomorrow, because he has been keeping up with it more on a business level, and they are supposed to be squashing that shit within the week. I have just tried to care as little as possible. I would prefer “House” to not go to reruns, but I really wont become as upset I said earlier. I lied. I’m a pussy and an only child. I have spent my entire life entertaining myself. I don’t need a television program to fill my down time. I can always resort to the things I did when I was kid to fill the void left by my lack of a brother or sister. I might even get a camera crew in here and try to sell it as a reality show. Who wouldn’t want to watch the head of a major studio build a house of cards, while juggling and solving a Rubix Cube at the same time?

Finally. I got lucky and cast this fucker while Friend was in the Fried Chicken State, or whatever Kentucky’s nickname is. I know California is the Golden State, I forgot the others. Or maybe I wasn’t paying attention. We learned the 50 state’s nicknames in the sixth grade, and that’s when girls started to sprout boobies. What was I supposed to do? Pretend I gave a shit that someone once suggested that Iowa be forever referred to as “The Hawkeye State” in tribute to Indian Leader Chief Black Hawk? No. My classroom was filled with a bunch of once-flat-chested 12-year-old girls who magically erupted into C-cups over the summer break. If Social Studies was that mind blowing, I pinky promise I would have been paying attention.

We decided to go with Jennifer Morrison for the part. She was awesome on the first three seasons of House M.D. The network must have thought so too when they decided to show their appreciation by making her character resign out from under Dr. House and be forced to continue working in a less camera worthy Unit of the same Hospital. Some people over at Fox tried to call me in regards to this decision. I didn’t answer. Of course they left a message flipping out about scheduling conflicts and such, but I don’t think they will have too hard of a time getting in her shots. She has a lousy 45 seconds of screen time or less during each hour-long episode. That’s why I wanted to steal her away. With our studio’s reputation for winning statues, even she will be telling them to go fuck their selves.

Punch me in the face and call me Gumby. I forgot about meeting up with my therapist. I was supposed to be doing this blog so I could stop going to that cunt, now it’s making me miss my sessions. I’m kidding. I love my time with Dr. Houston, but if I catch any lip over this or if she even thinks about telling me to nix the blogging now that I’m actually enjoying it, I will choke slam that overpriced bitch right through her coffee table. Again, I’m only kidding, and not just because I assume she will be reading this, I just thought that situation might be funny: The Coroner shows up on the scene of the murder to meet with his team of Medical Examiners, and they are discussing with LAPD the cause of death. Everyone seems puzzled, but one of the young new guys walks up to the Police Chief after thinking he’s put this whole thing together and says, “Sir, umm, I think she was choke slammed.”
