I'm really tired today (yes, still) because some jackass does not know how to hammer properly. Some guy across the alley is hammering really fast, like he's jerking off, starting from just after sunrise until right before Oprah. For the past four days. I can block it out when asleep, but once I'm awake not even the white noise of Regis Philbin can dull the annoyance or migraines.
So I'm taking a nap, then catching up on LJ & weekend t.v. because OMFG it's premiere week! And unlike the last two seasons, I'm excited about a few new shows. What am I not excited about? The conflicting scheduling of Bones/Gilmore Girls, House/Commander in Chief, Veronica Mars/Lost, and The O.C./Everybody Hates Chris/Smallville eps with James Marsters. This means I'll be leeching & seeding more than ever ;)
As for new shows that have already premiered:
* Head Cases - not bad, even though Adam Goldberg bugs me. Really, what's his appeal? He has one character: nebbish, jittery, semi-violent weirdo.
* Bones - pretty good. The pilot was creepy to me because I shared a close friend with the girl who inspired the episode. Let's just say that it sounded true to life.
* Reunion - neither overflowing in cheese or logic (wouldn't the cops wonder how the "driver" was injured when they were hit on the passenger side?), but not bad. I'll watch it, if only for Keith from SFU and JJ from American Dreams. And because I hope it's the annoying smart guy or annoying rich who's murdered. Second ep is on tonight at 9. Watch and relive the 80s!
* The War at Home - both sucks and blows. Michael Rapaport also has one character: loud, oafish, ignorant jackass, though he may just be playing himself. Plus, I can't look past his long-ago stalking of Lili Taylor.
Aw!! Bit Bit gave birth to baby Federline at my hospital! It's a very nice hospital and has valet parking...and now it's probably stained with celebratory Cheeto dust and Red Bull splashes. Thank god I don't really go there anymore. Anyway, who knows what crackertastic name they'll bestow upon that little boy, though Conan O'Brien has a suggestion:
"Kevin Federline want to name the baby 'Vegas,' because it's his favorite place. Which means their next child will be named 'Couch.'"
Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney are getting an annulment. Aw!! I remember writing about their random wedding, back when my LJ was kind of new and Renee & Kenny were still learning each other's favorite colors. I could pretend to be surprised, but it's not worth the effort.
If you hear me screaming and ripping out my hair this Sunday during the Emmy broadcast, it means 1) Mariska Hargitay beat Frances Conroy, 2) Huff won anything and Arrested Development got shafted, 3) Jane Kaczmarek was again not acknowledged as the funniest mom, and 4) Desperate Housewives beat AD and/or Scrubs. Seriously, if #1 happens, I will weep for Frances Conroy. She's so overdue.
