L.O.V.E.
May 4th, 2006
I’m addicted to television. I mean, I love TV. I know it’s lowbrow, and I should be reading and writing and experiencing culture, and being active, but whatever. Seriously, whatever.
I love TV. And there is some seriously good TV on these days. Grey’s Anatomy. Big Love (oh, the love I have for the Big Love!), The Sopranos, What About Brian? TELEVISION, how I love thee. Except for Lost. I loved Lost, but dude, I’m over it. But last night was fabulous and so, a tough choice.
I don’t mind that not everyone loves television as much as I do, but the people who don’t have TVs, and act like I’m some sort of heathen because I have one oh, and by the way, I LOVE IT AND WANT TO MARRY IT? I don’t like those people.
But really, this isn’t about those people. It’s about how much I’d like to punch out Michelle Rodriguez. Blue Crush was fine – FINE, sort of, since it was a B-movie and star vehicle for the luminous Kate Bosworth (who is in desperate need of a grilled cheese sandwich. Or a milkshake. But who also looks like my stunning friend Kelly, who reads this site, and is beautiful as she is. Hi, Kelly!), but LOST IS NOT FINE. SHE IS NOT FINE. No one acts like that in real life. No one frowns that much, no one talks that way, and for crying out loud, no one wears that many half shirts with chunky belts. You’re on a desert island, for chrissake. Is that belt really necessary? Alyssa Milano wears half shirts like they’re going out of style (which, hello! THEY ARE.) on Charmed, but that’s because she’s the producer, she’s hot, and she wants to show her abs. So fine. But thank God Michelle’s been shot. THANK GOD. But I’m pissed they took Libby too.
And then there’s Chloe Sevigny. I’ve already ranted to Holly about this odd little woman, but seriously, it cannot be said enough: she must stop scowling, frowning and gazing. Yes, yes, there are bigger issues with this show – Bill Paxton has teeth reminiscent of filed teeth as they await veneers, his ass is like an ominpresent piece of flank steak, and Bruce Dern looks and acts like a pedophile, but seriously. Chloe. You are the problem. KNOCK IT OFF.
Ah, television, I love you. I have two Tivos, three TVs and television access on every single computer in my home and I AM HAPPY. Happy and entirely uncultured, and I don’t care. And am I the only one who watches American Inventor? THE ONLY ONE? WHO CRIES? I mean I even cried when that woman put a maxi pad on her head, for chrissake. Television, it stirs emotions. How can it be bad?
And really, this post has no point. Zero point. And it’s horrible. Except, I thought everyone deserved better than to end the week with a post about child abuse, so happy Friday! Just don’t forget to watch TV this weekend. It’s good for you.
*Ashlee Simpson. I like Ashlee too. Because that’s how classless I really am.

I LOVE TV. Love it. I saw TWO episodes of Big Love on a free HBO weekend, and we almost had to get HBO solely for it, but there’s the problem in that I don’t want to give up Showtime because of the wonderful Weeds and the L Word, and something in me won’t pay for two channels separately.
We also have three TVs. I refuse to see it as a problem because it’s just too damn good.

I am now hooked on LOST, Season Two. I only saw one ep of season one — and I realize now that I definitely am missing some information (like – I didn’t realize that was Jack’s dad with AnaLucia until they pulled up in front of the bar and he almost hit Sawyer with the car door. Doh!)…but last night I had one of those “OhMyGod!” moments (usually reserved for “24″) when Michael shot AnaLucia. The “HenryGale” guy gives me the creeps…every time he comes on screen, I shout out “Evil!!!”.
There’s a freaky little forum devoted to discussing the show at:

Pretty funny. One person says, “This show is totally Star Wars!” (well, I paraphrase…). Check out this thread:

Maybe someday I’ll go back and rent season one on DVD. Although, first I have to get through seasons two and three of “24″.
Sigh.

Um, yeah. LOST.
It really bothers me that none of the women ever have a period. I mean, HELLO! They may be under stress from being on an island, but I’d say they’re kinda used to it by now, AND THERE’S NO REASON THESE WOMEN SHOULDN’T BE BBBLLLLEEEEEEEEDDDDIIIIINNNNGGGGG.
And I just don’t think that it’s possible they’re using tampons, because HELLO!, those suckers TOTALLY would’ve been destroyed when the plane went down, what with them BEING IN THE OCEAN, and everything.
Am I the only one who thinks about these things?

The high point of my week is watching America’s Next Top Model on Wednesday nights. There, I’ve said it.

Drats, Spoiler!!
I LOVED the first season of Lost. The second season has been so far, rather disappointing so i haven’t watched in a month or so… though i have all of the episodes i’ve missed waiting for me i just haven’t gotten around to it yet. But now that i know that the wretched bitch gets shot – happy now.
And Jes – Wow. it just never occured to me. you’re absolutely right.

AAACK! Sorry Claire. SO SORRY. That didn’t occur to me. I’ll add a warning.

So I LOVE LOVE Big Love. Obsessed even.
Don’t watch Lost, and I’m otherwise pretty bad with appointment TV. I do also Love My Name is Earl. Oh how I want Jason Lee…even if he did name his son “Pilot Inspektor”…
ALSO – Bill Paxton apparently is all about showing his ass as some sort of feminist thing, to show that men can also show their butts on TV all the freaking time, or some such agenda.
And Chloe Sevigny I’m not a huge fan of. Not at all.
But they have the girl from the Ring, and the Prophet’s son is way creepy.
Ok enough rambling…back to work.

I have a BIG LOVE for Big Love. I heart Jeanne Tripplehorn, and did you know Ginnifer Goodwin is the youngest member EVER of the Royal Shakespeare Company? Damn.

My husband is still really addicted to LOST, and I was even into it after seeing all of THAT.
Mostly I stick to my shows: Invasion, Alias (I know its ending), Grey’s Anatomy, The Office, My Name is Earl, Supernatural, and Prison Break… OH how I love thee Prison Break.
That really can’t be healthy, I’m just not sure I care yet…

Btw, Jes, it’s not just you. That’s occurred to me more than once. AND, what if one of them needs medication, like ACTUAL medication? I often think (and I know how crazy this is) of how awful I’d be on the island, because I’m hypothyroid and need Synthroid and FUCK, I’d never be able to survive the cramping of death without the Synthroid! I’d be bleeding! And crampy! AND DYING FOR RELIEF.

Jes, it’s totally not just you! I’ve been perplexed by that very notion myself. LOVED Wednesday’s episode! And Jonna, I too love Big Love and am so glad someone finally put into words the feelings about Chloe that I just couldn’t enunciate! CUT THE GODDAMNED HAIR and quit scowling so much. And stop dressing like a pioneer.
12. jes | May 5th, 2006 at 8:34 pm
I feel so left out. I’ve never seen Big Love. I told Holly the same thing. Big Love seems to be such a popular topic. And I’m just stuck talking about straying eyeballs.
13. jonniker | May 6th, 2006 at 7:57 am
Jes, that might be one of the funniest comments I’ve ever seen. STRAYING EYEBALLS. Yes, but we care about straying eyeballs. We do!
14. Yesrie | May 6th, 2006 at 9:51 pm
Um. Out of all the shows mentioned, I watch only one of them, and on a different channel during sporadic marathons. It gets worse: I haven’t even seen the others, not even once :-F
Carry on; I’ll just be over here in front of Bravo, SciFi, Comedy Channel, PBS….
15. Claire | May 8th, 2006 at 10:11 am
ha! no, jonniker, it’s my own fault for not watching.
