First, a bit of un-me-like hucksterism:
DeepDiscount.com is the happiest website on Earth. I'd heard Tina and Heather mention it a lot in the past few months, and I finally went there myself tonight to check in on what I'm getting my dad for Father's Day and his subsequent birthday.
I got both season 1 and season 2 of Supernatural for him for $51.96.
Not each. Combined.
Not used. Brand new.
And with free shipping.
An individual season of either at Target or Wal-Mart is going to cost you at least that much. The suggested retail price of either is %59.99.
I feel like I couldn't be happier with myself if I just one-punched God.
And my dad will be absolutely thrilled; he loves him his Supernatural. God knows he kept interrupting me watching The Office finale so he could release his excitement over the Supernatural finale.
Oh, Office finale. Why did you make me feel so stupid for saying how bad the Office had been (barring one episode) since it returned from the writer's strike?
The Office finale, simply put, was one of the best episodes of TV anywhere ever. That is to say, it is probably my second third or third favorite Office episode to date ("Beach Games" is still far-and-away #1, sry), and, hence, better than anything else on TV. What can be said about an episode that made me laugh out loud continuosly, grimace, almost cry, and say OMGWTF!? about 5 separate times?
Tina used the phrase "the perfect episode" about 10 times at work the next day.
I know that The Office is in precisely zero danger of cancellation because it generates absolutely phenomenal DVD and download sales, but it just annoys the fanboy in me to death that people actually watch Grey's Anatomy over The Office. The Office is the smartest show on television, with brilliant acting, great delivery from actors that invest every amount of their being into their characters, an ability to make you laugh and be uncomfortable and cry all in the same half-hour span, and great re-watchability. Grey's Anatomy has whiney bad acting and the same re-hashed storyline in ever single episode.
I swear to god, back when I was dating Stacey, she made me watch several episodes of season 2 of Grey's Anatomy and there were about 5 or 6 episodes IN A ROW that had the EXACT SAME PLOT:
Grey: I love you. Pick me. I want to be with you.
Patrick Dempsey: But I kind of like my wife.
Grey: But I love you. God my life is so hard I barely care that people are dying in this hospital.
Jocky intern guy: I'm jocky, but sweet and sentimental and don't want to screw Katherine Heigl.
Katherine Heigl: I want you to screw me! Isn't having inverted gender roles avant garde!?
Gay/nerdy intern guy: Allow me to deliver witty repartee while pining for all the barely moderately attractive girls I work with.
Sandra Oh: While you do that, I'm going to be harsh and cynical, but sappy and crying in private.
Black nurse lady: ZOMG I SAID VA-JAY-JAY LOLLERGEDDON!
Patrick Dempsey: Grey, I totes love you instead of my wife. Let's go bone.
Grey: No, I got tired of waiting around for you.
And next episode, it just STARTED OVER with her wanting him and him being torn, then wanting her and her telling him no. WTF, show? Way to have zero character growth ever.
Seriously, though. I'd actually watch any episode of Grey's Anatomy if Patrick Dempsey promised to deliver the line "I totes love you instead of my wife; let's go bone".
....LOL. I actually wanted to talk about The Office here and how much I was in love with the finale, but I seem to have fallen off-track a bit.
So anyway, The Office:
-Massive LOLz to: "I will kill you"; "You can say that, you can even feel it, but you can never say it. Especially not to her."; KEVIN/HOLLY interaction; Creed not knowing what his job is; COUSIN MOSE CAMEO; Michael wanting anti-gravitation potion.
-WTF?!s to: Jan is pregnant! ....With an sperm donor's baby! Ryan getting fired for fraud! Angela "agreeing" to marry Andy! AND THE LAST SCENE OF ANGELA/DWIGHT!!!
-HEARTBREAK to: "Well, it's my own fault"; "I thought he was going to propose".
Rar! I don't want to wait all summer for new episodes!
I ate SO MUCH tonight. SO MUCH. My stomach feels like it trying to stage a mini-rebellion against the rest of me. I feel so fat and full of food, I went for a 30 minute walk at midnight. Man were there a ton of bunnies outside. Latrobe bunnies are nocturnal; are all bunnies like that?
I got some of what I wanted done today; not all. Got my oil change, and I got my request for Tuition Reimbursement info sent out. Got the presents I mentioned ordered, too. It wasn't a full wasted night. So...yay?
