Wanna hear Something Weird?

I don't actually remember what happened last night.  I know I went home, and didn't go out anywhere.  I know I finished the Buffy/Veronica Mars crossover story I was reading (I SO blame Kate for that).  I know I watched a Scrubs rerun, and the DVR'd 'Top Design' from the previous night.  But, I got home around 6, and I can't really figure out what I did with all the time, you know?

'Top Design' should be interesting; except...Is it me, or does Todd Oldham remind you of the Buffy-bot?  He's very fake-cheerful and modulated when he speaks.  And of course, that could be because he's gone to a public speaking coach, but still, he sounds more robotic than C3-PO. 

Wow, I should take the Geek Test again, the above paragraph is a sad commentary on the state of my pop-culture accumen.  Or lack therof.

There is something to be said for the whole 'geeks are taking over the world' movement, in my opinion.  Because, seriously, how interesting and creative are the people who only watch network TV and the most popular movies?  Mainstream in boring, and if everyone else on the planet thinks it's lame that my roommate and I have been arguing for years about whether Buffy and Reilly should have dated, than so be it.  At least I'm not boring.

Not that there's anything wrong with mainstream.  Boring and mindless can be nice, sometimes.  [Deleted long-ass rant about "Alternative Programming" and the 'new golden age of television'.  And trust me, we're all better for it.]  So, anyway, I'm a geek, go me, in all my geekiness.

I, too, noticed how robot-like Oldham seemed. It's like he's been rehearsing his script for days and was as nervous as hell. It's funny, because he doesn't sound as annoying when he did those ads for Laz-y Boy. I like the show, though. I felt bad for the woman who had to be partners with Lisa. Lisa was dumb with her Asian/relaxation theme. Boring and predictable. It's so annoying when people always attach "exotic" or "relaxing" to anything Asian. Get over yourselves.

p.s. hope you feel better soon.

Thanks!

I'll let you know when I'm fully healthy again.

I'm excited to see the second one tonight (DVR rocks!) if I can stay awake for it. Wooo.

I think Lisa's partner would have been a nervous wreck over every little thing, anyway, so we're probably better offf not having to deal with her.
