Distracted By Something Shiny

My icon has nothing to do with anything...but he is on a motorcycle. Hi, Dark Alec!

Random Things...

Buffy - ( Season Two and Season Three ramblings.... )

Hellcats - ( the episode with the volleyball chicks... )

Mad Men - ( the season finale... )

Ha! I am amused at the wide range of shows I just covered in this post.

Also, The Buffy commentaries are lame when they do them by themselves. Everyone is better on commentaries when they have someone to play off of. However, the commentary in second season, for "Innocence" I think it was, with Whedon was pretty entertaining. I think he might have been just a wee bit stoned, which surprisingly is something I encourage. At least in this instance. Stoned in regards to commentary recording = A+. He didn't mock or poke at any of the actors too much, except for Tony Head - (btw, porn name or what? Anthony-Stewart Head, fine. Tony Head? Porn star. I wish.) Anyway, Whedon kept insisting that Tony refuses to wear pants. - "See, we had to shoot from the waist up here, because Tony Head refuses to put on pants." - "All our actors are totally professional, except for Tony Head, who refuses to put on pants."

This amuses me for two reasons - 1) It leads me to believe that since Tony is the only one Whedon gives any shit to, he's really the only one worth any fun on that set. - and 2) I love it because it is a running joke everyone, (including myself), has about me. - "Call before you come over, in case I'm not wearing any pants." - "We have to go to the bank? Does this mean I have to put on pants?" But, I mean, never has anyone let themselves into my house to find me without my pants on. Except that one time. (No, really that one time.)

Also, my sister has been sick all weekend with a fever. This leads to amusing things - (not amusing that she is sick but "fever-ill sister" can be funny when randomly babbling.)

She keeps wandering around muttering, "Giles has no pants. Giles needs no pants." That probably won't stop once the fever is gone.

Also, while playing Mean Bean Machine with her - (yes, we are that cool that we play video games from the 90's.) - the following conversation occurred.

Me: Damn. I had it and then I panicked.
Sister (in a weird accent): Patience, young grasshopper, you must learn patience.
Me: Shut your hole over there, Cracky.
Sister: I prefer Mr. Miyagi.
Me: Shut your hole over there, Mr. Miyagi.
Sister: That is better, grasshopper. Now you learn.

Then she spends the better part of the next round giggling like a crazy person.

In Sum: Giles has no pants. Giles needs no pants.

So I just watched this week's episode of Hellcats.

Law Teacher tells Chick (no, I don't know their names yet), who is a pre-law student (I know, liptonrm, I know) that he has a secret case for her to look into and that's how she can prove herself to him.

The case file in question - Kobayashi vs Tennessee.

And I say to the TV, "What?! Like the fake ship in Star Trek?"

Sadly, the TV doesn't answer me.

And I'm all,"What? Are the writers of this show a bunch of Star Trek geeks?"

Still, the TV doesn't answer me.

I guess I'll spoiler cut this, in case you are really dedicated about your Hellcats non-spoilery-ing. ( Otherwise, continue on with the Star Trek ridiculousness. )

But despite my above crazy rant about Capt. Kirk, I'm enjoying Hellcats more than I thought I would. I figured by now I would have given up on the plot and just be watching the cheers and shit. But I find I actually want to watch it like the day after it airs. That's a pretty quick turn-around for me.

So, in sum, still enjoying Hellcats - but Chick and Classmate are NOT James Tiberius Kirk.

And at the very end of the episode, Jensen Ackles' voice came on and reminded me not to forget to watch the premiere of Supenatural on Friday.

And I said, "Okay, okay, Jensen. I won't forget," because that's just how I roll. <--how I roll = speaking to Jensen Ackles through my television in a really high-pitched squeaky voice that I can't seem to control.

Cuz that's how I roll.
