Pathetic

It's sad that all I can think about is how much I miss cable. I discovered a love for a whole bunch of new shows. Our cable had OnDemand service, and I found about 4 or 5 shows that I want to keep watching, but now I can't. (Most of them are on break now anyways, but still...)


1. True Blood

I loved the books, and the series is a little more dramatic, which always makes for a good Sunday evening.


2. Six Feet Under

HBO Canada was replaying the whole series, and I fell in love. I saw the whole series, except for the last episode!!! AHHH!!! So... frustrating.


3. United State of Tara

I had not even heard of this show, and they put Season 1 OnDemand, and I started watching one day when I was bored. It's so clever...



4. Nurse Jackie

This one seems more realistic to me, more so than a lot of TV shows. Well, parts of it, anyways. It's about an ER nurse with a serious prescription drug addiction.


5. And we can't forget about Dexter. It's right up there with The X-Files. How sick and twisted am I?




I'm too poor to have such expensive TV taste.

Take a look, if you've got a minute.

That's Totally What I Was Going For

Me (still wearing hair towel, finishing makeup): How does it look?

Me: Uh... That could be a wide range of characters.

Junaid: You know. Pirates of the, whatever.

Me: You're saying that I look like a pirate? My makeup is pirateish?!?

Junaid: Oh, uh... That thing on your head looks like a pirate... Uh... Your makeup looks... nice.

Me: Right...

Parting Ways

It had to happen. I'd been putting it off for far too long. I loved you. I still love you. But you are not good for me. It's hard to imagine my life without you, but I know that it's something I just have to do. We have to break up.

You know things haven't been well with us at home. Ever since the "other man" left me in December, it hasn't been the same. I feel a hole in my life without him, and he won't be coming back until September. There's just no point to "us" without him. I don't want to hurt you, but there are millions of other women out there for you.

Anyways... you're much too expensive. I mean, we only get basic cable and I feel like you're way, way overpriced. Compared with American cable... Well, let's face it. You can't compare with American cable. You have to steal most of their shows and channels.

So, goodbye. I can't say that I won't miss you. But I'll only miss you because I'm often incredibly bored.

Ack!

It's too overwhelming to try and play catch-up from the last time I posted. (Whoops!) So I'm just going to pretend that the 3-4 month break never happened, and continue on as normal.

Thanks!




P.S. It feels so good to get that off of my chest.

Don't Put That in Your Mouth

Have you seen the commercial for the Nicorette Inhaler? I have seen it too many times to count. Here's the only version I can find.



All I can think of is "Why is that man putting a tampon in his mouth?"

Doesn't it look just like a tampon?











Can you imagine?

Man: Honey, I need a cigarette so bad. Quitting smoking is just so hard.
Wife: I heard that keeping something in your mouth really helps.
Man: Really? That could work. I don't have anything...
Wife: Oooh! I know. Let me see... (Rummages in purse) Here!
(Hands husband a tampon.)
Man: Well... I was thinking more along the lines of a sucker. But... a tampon would work. I guess. Should I take out the cotton part?
