tv, how we love thee.

as winter is about to set in, so is our extra layer of fat, our heater and our permanent bum-shaped creases on the couch. please don’t disappoint, tv!

let’s take a walk through the tv week.

mon: brothers and sisters. good tv. we will miss you, boston legal! is 30 rock still on?
tues: we watched the last episode of season 1 mad men (on DVD) last night and then found ourselves with a whole night of NOTHING before possibly one of the best shows on tv: lipstick jungle. tuesday is the best and worst night on tv. acceptable, in view of the fact nothing is on: 10 years younger in 10 days. freddy kruger in a red dress is painful but it’s so horrible to watch it at least gets your heart rate going. lipstick jungle deserves it’s own post for this season.
wed: criminal minds. the gube. enough said. family guy, if you can stay awake.
thurs: Q & A. amazing.
fri: please don’t watch tv.

oh, and neighbours every night, of course.

so far, prime time free to air is just not cutting it.

suggestions for improvement of tv: maybe lipstick jungle at 8.30pm on tuesday? mad men magically on our tv whenever we turn it on? new true blood directly to australian free to air? new weeds?

i don’t think i will stop watching tv, but it would be nice if there was something better going on.

thoughts? comments?

things i love today

most days i wake up and hate the world. today i love several things. this is worth noting.

what i love today:

  • “You’ll Love Coles… Belgian Chocolate” :

How did they KNOW?!

I’ll tell you how they knew i’d love it: they filled their mix with traces of a little highly addictive substance i like to call COCAINE.

  • Papa Pharrell:

aww. pho-real is gon’ be a daddy! maybe he’ll clean up his skeazy ways. how good is the word skeazy? damn good. i don’t usually lurk around celebri-sites, but i happened upon dlisted.com today and this is what they had to say about mr. williams becoming a father:

begin quote:

This is the worst fucking Monday ever. I woke up with a hangover and I didn’t even booze last night, my air conditioning is about to go on strike, my TV is acting wonk, I just ate the last Good Humor   Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar and now I find out that some skank is knocked up with Pharrell Williams’ baby. And that skank is not me. Tuesday can’t come sooner.

Page Six reports that Pharrell knocked up some model-type. I hope the skank gets really fat. I hope she gets fucking obese. I hope she gets cankles in her arms. A friend of Pharrell’s said the whore is really pregnant, “Pharrell is extremely private and won’t release any details.

This shit isn’t right. Although, I think I just got pregnant from looking at a picture of his sexy weasel face. If I am pregnant, I’m going to hit him up hard for child support. And by “child support,” I mean sexual favors.

end quote.

  • Christian Bale as Batman:

Heath Ledger is amazing, awe-inspiring, one of the best performances in years, the perfect predecessor to Jack Nicholson’s Joker… but Christian Bale is AWESOME. He’s perfected the alchemy of Batman: 1 part smooth  billionaire playboy, 1 part stoic bat, 5 parts DREAMY. A colleague and I were just discussing the news that CB has been reported by his Mum and sister as ‘abusing’ them yesterday (details unclear). Said colleague said she thinks CB is a great actor, but he leaves her cold, somehow. I believe he leaves me cold in the best way.

  • Christian Bale in general:

I mean, he’s no Gray Gubler ( )

but he is just VERY GOOD.

  • The Gube :

he is HILARIOUS!

  • Denny Crane getting his groove back, in last night’s episode of Boston Legal.
  • Falafel Rolls!!!! :

no child left behind

is there something wrong with me? I don’t LOVE this new Marc Jacobs collection:

maybe it’s because

a) i’m not an eight year old billionaire,

b) those kids are aliens

or

c) kids ‘fashion’ makes me nauseous.

forget Henson, Jacobs is your man, paedophile task force.

Exhibit A:

http://www.marcjacobs.com

i couldn’t cut & paste the photos from here, but do visit the above link and see for yourself the full catalogue of elfin waifs draped in MJ couture. If the FBI hasn’t shut it down yet. special attention must be paid to the albino child with the lime-green silk shirt. that kid must be Jacobs’ ‘special friend’, a la Macaulay Culkin. which leads me to…

Exhibit B:

MJ. Marc Jacobs. Michael Jackson. code for child sex. did i elaborate too much? in this age of pomo-homo-ness, elaboration is so passe. so i’m passe. i’m fine with that. bite me.

Exhibit C:

this child clearly cannot surf. this is false advertising. this is wrong. like paedophiles.

Exhibit D:

this is a classic example of ‘older black male child leads younger latino-white female child into sex lair for child sexographer to document extensively’. just quietly, that dude has GOT IT. LAY-BY!

and while we’re on the topic of task forces and child exploitation, how GOOD was Boston Legal last night? The “No Child Left Behind” Act (a North American set of laws regarding public education, that was signed by Bush in 2002) was brought into question once before in BL (see http://www.arizonaea.org/politics.php?page=282&sub_page=252), by M.J.Fox (ANOTHER MJ. except this one IS a child, so can’t be a pedophile – although that could be his schtick: he lures the small sexually appealing children with his child-like-ness). But last night’s episode, cleverly titled “No Brains Left Behind” was VERY clear that this law should simply not exist. Candice Bergen (AKA old lady sexpot, AKA that scarf-wearing, one-position-standing exemplerary student of the the David E. Kelley school of chin wobble) was the main trumpeter of its demise, and she was rather fantastic in her rare moment in the soapbox spotlight.

Alan Shore (AKA, the breathing woman’s man, AKA the object of my post-adolescent lawyer-cum-coastguard-cum-onmyface desires), was off fighting more important battles, of course – against the National Guard, in two separate cases: one for failing to come to the aid of a pizza shop that Denny likes when it was flooded, and the other for denying Alan and Denny entry into the NG because they are older than 42 (what an arbitrary age for the NG to decide a man or woman may no longer serve their country!). Needless to say, Alan and Denny’s exploits were genius. Hilarity abounded.

be still my beating heart.
