1. I apologize for my uninspired posts this week. I’ll try and have something more substantial posted by the end of the week. I’d like to say that I’ve been busy being fabulous, but most of my free time has been spent on Alias. I’m on season 4, and totally loving the inclusion of Nadia. Or it might just be me wishing I had an older Spy Barbie sister so I could be her little Spy Skipper.
2. NOTE TO HUMOR BLOGGERS: If you’re a humor blogger, stick with humor. You know how many humor bloggers wrote about Karl Rove resigning? A lot. You know how many humor bloggers wrote about it in a fun and original way? Not many. Yes, we all know the man behind the wheel has resigned. If you’re going to tell us again, tell us something funny about it. I fear people will be getting very political on their blogs in the next few months, but I encourage them to stay funny. (Is it ironic that the post encouraging humor bloggers to stay funny isn’t very funny?)
3. Did you know an action movie starring Colin Firth opens this weekend? It’s called The Last Legion and it’s in limited release. When an independent movie opens in limited release, it’s just trying to build buzz without spending too much money on marketing. When an action movie opens in limited release, it sucks.
4. In a completely unrelated note, which has nothing to do with the number 3, isn’t it kind of pathetic when actors try playing against type and fail miserably? Okay, fine, I’m referring to Colin Firth in an action movie. Stick with high-collared shirts (preferably wet) and unreasonably large sideburns Mr. Darcy!
5. I gained 10 pounds in the past 6 months, and frankly, I’m pretty happy about it. My diet of eating whatever I want and sitting on my ass all day is paying off. Don’t you just hate me? I think I’m going to start running though, that way when I turn 30 and my greek-god-like metabolism starts to slow down, I’ll be a little prepared to fight the bulge.
6. What new shows are you guys going to be watching in the fall? I don’t know how much I plan on adding to my already hectic television schedule, but I’m definitely making room for Bionic Woman. Any suggestions?
7. I live with my parents in order to save money for a house. Lately I’ve been considering buying a house somewhere rural where it’s a lot less expensive and using it as a vacation/weekend house while continuing to live at my parents rather than buying a house on Long Island where it’s super expensive. When I told someone about my plan, they said “But what happens when you get married and need to buy a house?” Frankly, I think I should worry about the marriage mountain once I climb the second date molehill.
8. I’ll give Family Guy a rest and give you this complilation of the Chicken Dance clips from Arrested Development instead. My favorite version is Portia de Rossi’s.
