1. Ok, Fringe, I grudgingly like you. But I will drop you the second I am slightly less interested. Joshua Jackson, you are not a very good actor; and testing my endurance greatly (and yet, you are mysteriously kind of sexy- how do you do this, are you magic?). IQ of 190 (oft repeated), I’m thinking those numbers are in the wrong order.
I’ve heard a lot of people complain that it is going to be freak of the week X-Files sans David Duchovny; I ask, what about that doesn't sound good. Monsters without Duchovny's sucking petulance, the abortive non-romance, and the overarching conspiracy theories poorly connected to culminate in 'yes, what you thought about your sister for the entire series was right [and boring].'
In related news, I think I have to learn how to use the time tape feature on my VCR. Yes, I own a VCR still. Now that we are watching Fringe we are Tivo-ing two things Monday at 9 and that bumps Big Bang Theory right off the Tivo. (Hey, TV stations, try showing all the good shows spread out rather than between 8 and 10 on Mondays. KTHX)
2. The number of threats of burning down my office have significantly dropped off, which I think signals that my staycation is working nicely. I have made serious headway in all of my projects and that is very exciting.
3. Yesterday I went to the DOL to get my enhanced driver’s license (which will allow me to cross the Canadian border without additional paperwork) and it was quite the riggamaroll. The guy who interviewed me had the strongest (just guessing Turkish?) accent and I think he was hitting on me. It is hard to say because I only caught 50% of his heavily accented mumblings.
Ex:
Maybe Turkish Homeland Security Clearance Guy: Blardy Blardy Blar
Q: pause… Yes, between 4 and 7 times a year for the last 6 years.
MTHSCG: Blardy Blar visiting your boyfriend?
Q: pause… My mother.
Yea, because I’ve been dating some joker for 6 years and I see him quarterly. Hmmmmm… actually that seems somewhat appealing and realistic to situations in my life. Perhaps this is more troubling than I had initially thought.
Also, he asked me questions I did not know the answers to such as:
Where was your father born?
How do you spell
He seemed kind of appalled that I knew so little about my father; for example when I had to look up his birthday in my Palm. I think that Mumbles von Accent needs to lay of the judging.
4. I am super broke right now due to my own over-eagerness to pay off my credit card completely next month and I am resentful that I am so obsessed with paying off my debts. (Although I did shop more than I ought to have this month according to my crazy budget, and it was a really heavy gift month with numerous birthdays, babies, and weddings.)
5. (This is much longer than I expected, maybe I missed blogging.) Is anyone else excited about ABC’s Castle (to come out midseason 2009)? It stars Nathan Fillion as a mystery writer who helps the police solve crimes. You guys, it is like Murder She Wrote, but with Nathan Fillion. Now all this show needs is Tom Selleck and I would join the fan club.

What is it about Fringe? It's completely unrealistic, the acting is not great, and the old dude says "posit" about 6 times an episode. And yet I continue to watch it. I'm not even convinced I like the show, but there is something about Pacey that keeps me as a viewer. Oh, I know, it's that I'd have sex with him if given the chance. Subpar acting and all.
Is it possible that pheromones travel through my tv?
Are you watching it in HD too? I am very suspicious of the clarity of the picture. Perhaps there is merely a weirdly sized Pacey in there.
Other thought on Fringe- "Science, shmience." They don't need to respect the laws of science. Pacey is above the law. RAWR!
I have heard of exactly 0 of these shows. Guess it's what I get for not having cable. :P
Ha! They are both network shows. You should not need cable to gave upon the rugged handsomeness of Nathan Fillion, midseason 2009.
Or any season I think.
