“We’re Not Special. We’re Japanese.”
No, I haven’t quit . . . yet. As I’m hurdling towards 35 (coughtomorrowcoughcough), I’ve discovered blogging is really stupid, unless you have something funny or important to say. And, usually, I have neither. I’ve thought about hanging up THIS blog and starting an online poetry journal. Or something. Right now, I guess we’re gonna stick with the status quo, probably posting less frequently here and saving personal and/or day-to-day drivel for myself and my friends.
And what says “status quo” more than a bulleted list?
- This new season of shows is gonna be the death of me. I think “Studio 60” and “Heroes” are locks to be around for a while . . . especially as “Heroes” hints at a uniting the mutants in some X-Men-like supergroup. Against the evil father of our mutant cheerleader hero. (I was a little baffled by parts of that premier, but the previews for the season put me at half-mast. If you know what I mean. And nothing, NOTHING, on T.V. this season* is funnier than that Japanese hero and his geeky friend.)
- As the “heroes” started drifting into each other’s lives, I started thinking it was becoming a mutant-themed version of “Six Degrees.” And that show is more like “Zero Degrees,” because EVERYONE on the fucking show has met everyone else. How much more could their lives be intertwined? None, unless you called the show “Six Degrees . . . of Caligula.”
- Y’know, I didn’t even watch Monday Night Football last night, and I’m already fucking tired of hearing “When the Saints Come Marching In.” Sorry, New Orleans.
- When you’re used to a relatively light breakfast, it’s probably not a good idea to kick off the day with slices from two different birthday cakes.
* No, not even “The Amazing Race.”
Happy day before your birthday!
again
I think watching all that tv and not watching football makes you gay. I’ll check the manual and get back to you.Posted by on 09/26 at 08:43 PMHappy Birthday!

Posted by erin on 09/28 at 02:15 PMDammit, sorry, happy birthday.
Posted by rob on 09/29 at 03:08 PMAnd yeah, I was going to email you about Heroes but never got around to it; I was suprised, I had read bad things but thought it was pretty decent, better than that nuclear war one.
Posted by rob on 09/29 at 03:10 PMhappy birthday~! i was thinking that heroes was the TV version of X men. i didn’t really like studio 60 all that much -but have you watched ‘smith’? it’s not too bad.
Posted by marshmallow on 10/01 at 10:02 PMYeah, happy birthday!!
When I lived in New Orleans, you always had to play the jazz bands extra to get them to play “When the Saints”..cuz they were all so sick of playing it for tourists.
Posted by teahouseblossom on 10/03 at 04:26 PMHappy Belated Birthday! I’m loving Heroes. I really like the invincible cheerleader and the Japanese guy is the best. Not sure about Studio 60 - it’s a bit smug for my taste.
