dumb ideas will outlast you
1. A couple of weeks ago I had this really nasty UTI that defied one round of antibiotics completely, so I had to go back to the doctor to get something else. And then I called the mister:
me: I'm on my way to HEB to take this prescription to the pharmacy.
him: Oh, they gave you something else?
me: Yeah, something stronger, and made from sulfur i guess?
him: Sulfur?
me: Yeah, they asked if I was allergic to sulfur and I was like, ...no?
him: Maybe you'll turn into a demon.
me: We might have to call the winchesters.
him: You'd like that.
me: *harassed sound*
him: Imagine their embarrassment when they realized they were here to fight a UTI!
2. The mister vs. fandom/SG:A
There was an episode of Stargate: Atlantis on ("The Tower"), but I couldn't watch it, because it was season 3 (2?) and I'm not finished with season 1 yet, so I watched the episode of What Not To Wear I'd been planning to watch when I turned the tv on (but not before watching the pre-credits portion of the episode and dying at the sight of Rodney McKay on my TELEVISION, SO LARGE). Then the mister came out and I told him my trajickal dilemma, in which I'd had to concede I didn't have a license to watch that episode yet, and here are the main points of the shit he gave me:
-Stargate: Atlantis is pretty shameful
-it's pretty far down on the totem pole
-ie, it's an offshoot of a tv show that's an offshoot of a movie from 10 years ago
-Stargate, the movie, didn't even do that well
Here is my clever rebuttal:
-I'm not saying it's High Art or anything
-it is totally likeable and watchable
-it's not my fault.
He says he doubts that, but here is something important I have just remembered, which is, I'VE SEEN HIM WATCHING STARGATE THE MOVIE ON SCI FI BEFORE. When this happens, I pass through the room and say, "What are you watching?!" And he says, "Stargate. I forgot but this is a pretty good movie!"
HA HA HA.
3. Last night I deleted three unwatched episodes of Veronica Mars off my dvr. And before that I deleted at least one. I'm pretty sure I haven't watched since the first episode after the hiatus? Maybe? Look, I might watch the one with Paul Rudd (OMG SPOILER), maybe, but it's just become too depressing and exhausting. This is not the show I fell in love with two years ago, that made me manic at work all day Tuesdays. This is a show that has fallen into an alternate-universe dimension where there aren't any of the rules or social norms we expect. Ugh, I'm over it.
4. Conversely, Supernatural has gotten really good this season, to the point where I feel --okay, I still feel silly saying that I watch a show called "Supernatural," like, couldn't you at least have gone with "Winchester Family Shenanigans" or something? I feel okay saying that I watch Supernatural, that it's gotten good, that it's run well by smart people who know what they're doing. Also, and I think this speaks higher for it than anything I could say, the effing MISTER likes this show, and he, the Master of Episodic Mysteries and Figuring It Out, says that it's good and X Filesey.
5. A few nights ago I dreamed that, perhaps in an attempt to convince me to stop watching SGA, the mister acted out for me all of Joe Flanigan's previous roles.
6. Another show I've given up on is Scrubs. Is anyone watching it this year? If so, how do you stand it? It seems painfully going-through-the-motionsy. The musical episode I deemed unwatchable about a minute in. Here is what we dvr on Thursdays:
-The Office
-Supernatural
-30 Rock
Here is the other prime time television I watch:
-Bones
Our dvr is shitty sometimes and didn't record 30 Rock last week, so if anyone could point me in a direction for that sort of problem I would be forever indebted to you.
7. Here are some points about last week's television:
-Pam! Pam! Michael!
-Oh shit, the Winchesters, I can't even. Remember Dean's food-stuffed face?
-the mister pointed out, during Sam's narration, Dean never stopped eating or drinking.
-This is a very important case, Dean!
-Bonez! Bonez! Bonez!
me: I'm on my way to HEB to take this prescription to the pharmacy.
him: Oh, they gave you something else?
