things that make you go "hm?" (or maybe "WTF?")
Random things I noticed the other day that made me go "hm?" When I was at SDCC, I got a flier advertising the premiere of the new version of Hawaii Five-O. On the SDCC Free Ringtone flier was a picture of Daniel Dae-Kim (Gavin from Angel, Jin from LOST) and Grace Park (Sharon/Athena/8 from Battlestar Galactica), two other guys had I had never seen and a bit of beach. So, from that picture, I assumed that all 4 of these actors were the stars of the show. But then I saw the commercials on TV and noticed two things missing - Daniel Dae-Kim AND Grace Park! Yeah, there are two half-second shots - one of Grace in her bikini on the beach, and Daniel in the background of a scene. Neither of them gets speaking clips that would show them as main characters!
So, what's up with that? Were these two actors only featured on the SDCC promotional materials because they knew that SDCC would attract LOST and BSG fans? Are they even an important part of the cast? Is it just me or are they more interested in showing me two really boring white guys in the commercials over an attractive Korean actors and a gorgeous babe? I mean, you'd think they would WANT to show you more of Grace at least! Blah.
Today we got a copy The Berenstain Bears' Computer Trouble. It's a modern tale of the Bears familiy spending too much time on the computers. Eventually Papa Bear decrees that everyone gets 1 hour of computer time per day. So brother plays outside, Sister gets out her dolls, Mama starts quilting and Papa returns to his workshop. You'll notice these are all solitary activities. Finally, they decide to go out as a family and do something together. What do they end up doing? Going to a movie, where they sit in silence for two hours. LOL! I know the moral of the story was to not spend all day on the internet but it made me laugh that this was the family activity they did together haha.
Two very amusing patron transactions this week on the same subject: puberty. One patron refused to say "S-E-X" to me. She just kept doing the eyebrow raise and saying "I need books on...you know" and I was like "erm...puberty?" and she was like OMG! It would have been hilarious if it wasn't so sad. I feel bad for her child since she will grow up being embarrassed by her sexuality if this is how she's told about it! I had the opposite today, with a parent that was a little too excited about her child growing up, but the child demanded a book because they didn't want to talk about it.
TGIF! I'm ready for the weekend!
