Hey there, 2010!
Why in the world am I watching the Food Network?
Gotta hand it to these people, they make icing a cake look like an Olympic sport. Which makes sense, since some Olympic sports are about as fun to watch as someone icing a cake.
Don't get me wrong, though, I love watching the Olympics and can't wait to watch the ones which are coming up. Oh, you poor, poor Winter Olympics. Next to the Summer Olympics you'll always be the Jan to their Marsha. I liked Jan, though. She wasn't as self-obsessed as her older sister and I highly doubt she slept with Peter. Sometimes I think my synapses operate on cable. Changing the channel, now. In my mind, I mean. I've gotta see who wins Chopped, even though I don't care about this show. At all. It's really the only reality cooking show I've watched which hasn't interested me much, which is maybe why I'm giving it another chance. Could it really be this boring? Really??
Anywho, it's gotten to the point lately where I'm noticing reality show crossovers. Contestants from various reality shows are appearing on different reality shows years later and I recognize and remember them. So...why can't I remember to do the laundry, some days? HA.
You know what I enjoy? Philosophical conversations. I can't say why, however. They're utterly fruitless most times. Two people discuss and discuss and discuss and then in the end, there really is no end, and nothing has really been discussed at all. Anything and everything can be dissected and beaten down or overemphasized or minimized--DUDE. I've seen this Chef on TV, before. Really? REALLY?? Peter Giannakis, it says. I have to check this. Maybe I'm crazy. But he has a very destinctive smile. Can't find anything. Oh well, doesn't matter. No, it does, I'm not crazy, he's been on something else. Moving on...
Back to philosophy, there you have it. I really don't feel qualified to talk about much anything, ever. Why should I? I'm just me, and I just know what I know, and who's to say I even know what I think I do? All I have under my belt are my experiences over the past 20 years, others' experiences which I've witnessed, and every episode of every TV show and movie I've ever watched, and every book and every magazine or newspaper article I've ever read. And there's so much more to learn and so much I'll never know. I want to help my loved ones more than I do, and then when there's nothing left for me to do for them, I feel helpless. Which makes sense. I still don't know what I want to do with my life but I want to make sure it's SOMETHING. For the most part I have a wonderful family and a wonderful boyfriend and wonderful friends. I want to make them proud, ya know? : )
Saddest thing about Iron Chef America is that they don't have the silly English voiceovers that the Japanese version needed to take on for the American viewing audience. I used to love when they'd get to the one tiny little Japanese girl on the judge panel and she'd giggle something simliar to, "Teeheehee oh my, oh my, I simply love [clams/chicken/beets/worms/insert any other secret ingredient here]! Teeheehee I think they are just wonderful! This is wonderful! Yum! Teeeheehee, yummy!" Too funny.
Anyway, this isn't going anywhere. But hopefully I am lol.
