The Truth Files

Stephen Colbert/Daily Show Love. House, Hugh Laurie, Black Adder, BritCom obsessiveness. Eddie Izzard quoting ad naseum. Self loathing. Other people loathing. Anything else I can loathe-fit that in there too. Tales of alcohol and dogs. The occassional night at the bar causing trouble. Mis-treating brain cells...Who needs them? No sex. No drugs-usually. Much rock'n'roll. Just trying to survive in 615. Y'know. The usual.

Celebreality is the shame of my life.
Fuck you VH1. Fuck you! Goto hell and die!
Another shame of my life is that there are several movies I'm looking forward to. I usually consider myself above movies-due to how they require me to leave the house and arrive at a place at a certain time. I am no slave to time schedules!
Talked to Mik today. She told me she'd be in that dear old state that's round on the end and high in the middle from Dec 20-Jan 4. I said that sounded like an awful long time to spend in the midwest in the guest room-she said "Well, Mom called and said she'd bought me a ticket and those were the days. She buys, I fly, you know." That's fair enough. They're not paying to get me home. Course, they still own 1/3 of Rosie so I guess I can't complain. I will own that truck eventually. My guess is around spring of 2007-- beginning of 2008 at the latest. Crap, she'll be 10 years old before I have that truck paid off. Poverty (+/or bad spending habits) pisses me off.
I have no point to this post. My papers are progressing horribly. Mummy is about as easily distracted as I am and hasn't taken any pictures or read her email recently. That's lovely. Meanwhile my music paper is depressing me because I can't write it. Ok-I COULD write it but since there is still alcohol in the world I haven't gotten around to writing it just yet. Unfortunate for me I lost every paper from the world of undergrad so there is no turning in an old paper and pretending I was inspired to write about some completely unrelated to the current topic situation. No. I have to actually pull these papers off. How miserable that is. And due to being clumsy I broke a bottle of wine last night so shortly after this I'll be out of booze to drown my pain. "Beer the cause and solution for most of life's problems." Thus spake Homer Simpson.
Anyone else seen that Life Alert commercial where the woman is laying on the floor grabbing at the air just beggin to yell "I've fallen and I can't get up!" only she doesn't? That is just wrong---like saying Abe Lincoln committed suicide.
It's the shocking conclusion to My Fair Brady right now. I was sure I hadn't watched this show-but now I see I've been paying something like attention. Adrienne is a child and he shouldn't marry her because little girls shouldn't be married. Chris on the other hand, is an intelligent and thoughtful man who understands that sometimes life is not what you expect it to be. People who haven't watched this show would not have this opinion. I am so ashamed of myself on so many levels.
Oh but it wouldn't be a season finale if he didn't propose to her. And I wouldn't be a loser if I didn't think that even tho she is WAY too DAMN young to have this many opinions it's still kind of charming. I hate myself. When I didn't have the cable television this was never a problem.
Speaking of the cable-my landlady-God love her-she has NEVER been able to figure out how to use her remote. Every time she wants to watch Little House on the Prairie (her favorite show) I have to go over and program the TV for her. She's a dear but she is not technological. Today she came to me saying she was having problems again and I was disturbed to find I couldn't fix it. Usually I can get the TV working in a couple of seconds. After 25 minutes on the phone with the help desk it was finally figured out that the problem wasn't with the people trying to operate the remote but with the remote itself. This was comforting. Hopefully this won't continue to be a problem. Since I really don't want to give up my cable. Course, giving up my cable would mean a lot less shame.
Ok, well, gotta watch some more awful TV.
Then I'm going to take a lot of pills that may drown out this feeling of being a lousy excuse for an intellectual.
