a nite of tv

Jan 18, 2005 00:19


i VEGGED so hardcore tonite.  was a sad sorry state.  got home from a piddly 4 hrs at jeff's and an even piddlier $30 richer.

steveo answers my call frantically, "the banks aren't open today!"

"yeah."

"my dad only gave me checks!"

"uh-huh.  when are you going to stop yanking my chain?"

"i swear i'll cash this and give it to you tomorrow.  i don't have all of it, but i want to clear this with you so we can get back to writing this week b/c i'm so pumped now.  we're gonna sell the show!! "

the script is in the semifinals of a tv writing contest.  out of 240 entrants, we have made the top 40.  he called me 5 times in a matter of 2 minutes yesterday to tell me this news.  news that wasn't going to make me any richer before tuesday morning.

i hope that unemployment check comes tomorrow.  then the cross-posting race with bofa shall begin.

so got home. kent came in right after.  ended up watching the surreal life episodes and a half hour of celebrity fat fitness something or other (poor ralphie--will be so much healthier after this show i imagine, and is biz markie a little slow in the head or is it just me?) before carnivale came on.  kent hadn't seen it last nite either--i know so many people think this show is slow, but i am still hooked.  for only 2 episodes this season, it's already peaked my interest in every f'ed up storyline they have running.

after carnivale, went back to mindless vh1 fun with the i love the 90s part deux series that started today.  god bless satellite east coast feed.  after reminiscing with kent on 1990 and 91 (yes, kent never moved from the living room either), we discovered the cooler on hbo.  not a bad lil flick, i must say.  too much of macy's buttocks for my liking, but maria's got a nice tiny rack.  got all "awwww-y"  and excited over seeing ron livingston and an appearance by mc gainey (i will never remember his name b/c every time i see him, i think of powers boothe) since we both just worked with them on relative strangers.  mc is such a redneck--total sweetheart.  so is ron.  but i liked being called "darlin'" in that thick southern drawl.

in betweener i guess i was somewhat productive b/c i realized i can't really buy food just yet and not knowing how long i will be at nbc tomorrow, instead of taking a trip to mickey d's round noontime, i should make dinner and have extra for leftovers and lunch tomorrow.  so i stirred up some angel hair and tuna--will throw in peanut butter and saltines for snackies since it's basically me in the office solo (and i don't think flody is gonna bring in crafty).  used the rest of the milk that is pretty much a day past the due date and whipped up a coupla pancakes for whenever this week.  i am so horrible at making those.  don't have the fancy schmancy tools and griddle like miss a.

my buffy knowledge had been challenged last nite, and kent was all geared up to help me prove mr. assumption wrong.  what were kent's words?  "don't mess with the fanatic addicts who know what they're talking about."  now, mind you, my knowledge is strictly from the tv series and kristy swanson movie, so i do not hold into account any books analyzing the buffyverse or any spinoffs of said buffyverse in any shape or form (angel is a whole nother ball of wax, and an inconsistent one at that).  bit of trivia - kent pointed out that one of the buffy lore comics actually outlined the entire movie.  regardless, my spike knowledge was brought into question, so i whipped out season 2, the first time we are intro'd to the billy idol wannabe handsome devil vamp that he is.  chapter 9  of episode 3 "school hard" i think is where the answer lies.  giles clearly states as he is looking for an alternative name to this vampire known as spike discovers "william the bloody: earned his nickname by driving railroad spikes through the heads of his victims."  kent quickly pointed out that he was william the bloody prior to the 1800s where the spike driving incidents took place.  i totally understand the confusion gile's statement presents now, but i'd be happy to play it back to prove my point and discuss further.:)

that being sad, i need to get me arse to bed!

slime, tv
