(no subject)
tonight i shall be watching the new abc show sons and daughters at nine o'clock. "from the producer of snl, lorne michaels." how about we dont fuck this up like we did with snl, okay lorne? i'm a big fan of the whole retroscripting style, like the office, curb your enthusiasm, reno 911*, etc. so i'm hoping it's actually funny, instead of it being like snl.
after that, i shall turn to cbs and watch the amazing race, season 9, at 10. this will be good because it will be. last week, the premiere, was good.
i've got facebook and i dont even go to school. that's pretty cool.
one song i've really been listening to a lot: i'm straight by le modern lovers. i dont know why i like it so much over other songs on said album. i like how he's not singing. i like how richman's voice is really really nasally. i like how there's hardly any music during most of it. i like how at the beginning he seems all shy and reserved, but gains swagger as the song progresses, culminating at the end where he's chastising the girl for the guys she likes. it's fucking awesome. i don't know. i'll shut up.
quickly, one thing i hate (the commercial is on now): diamond commercials. specifically, the one where he's like 'i'd marry you all over again, blah blah' and then at the end it says 'this time, tell her i forever do.' what the fuck was the first time you got married then? is that just 'i sort of do'? though americans seem to think that this may be the case, it aint. when you get married it's supposed to be for life. it's supposed to be forever. you should say i forever do when you first get married. and aside from that, when you finally do get around to telling her you forever do, twenty-five years later, how do you show this? not with a new found sense of love and affection, but with a big fucking diamond! afterall, debeers needs your money. having a two-thirds WORLD market share isn't getting them enough money. price fixing and bullying isn't getting enough money. a 200% markup(!) isn't getting enough money. young man, that ring should cost two months wages. fuck you. i hate diamonds.
-bates.
*i found out yesterday that they're making a reno 911 movie, called reno 911!: miami. they just started filming in january. that's awesome. that's all.
