make a monkey out of me

[dianora2]

My life is weird. Today my brother e-mailed me and offered me free tickets to see a taping of Celebrity Jeopardy! at Radio City Music Hall tomorrow night. So that's what I'm doing. We won't be seeing every episode, but of the 30 participating celebrities listed, one is Jane Kaczmarek, which means, infinitesimal chance that Bradley Whitford will be in the audience tomorrow night as well. Hey, you never know. Regardless, should be fun. It also means I have to schlep out to Long Island tomorrow to get the tickets, and make the horrible sacrifice of seeing my adorable nephew, ha ha.

A&E (aetv.com) is having a big clearance sale on DVDs -- I got season one of The Kids in the Hall for 18 bucks. Woot!

I can't believe the animal trainer is on before Bradley on Leno. WTF? Upstaged by the animal trainer, damn.



Pretty good. I liked all of the insurgent/occupation stuff, despite the Iraq anvils. Whatever they did to Tigh and the mass execution gearing up at the end were particularly disturbing. As is Ellen Tigh and Dean Stockwell sharing a sex scene. *shudder* Love Tyrol. Poor Gaeta. Also, Gaeta looked kind of hot, which disturbs me.

Not enough Gaius. James Callis was brilliant in the signing scene, but, not enough Gaius.

OMG fat Apollo body double! *dies laughing* And the bad prosthetics. Holy lord, so funny. "Get your fat ass out of here." *dies laughing again* Ahem. Thank god that will be gone soon. Anyway, I liked all of the Galactica/Pegasus stuff -- what I really liked about the Apollo/Bill discussions was that they both had points and I alternately found myself agreeing and disagreeing with both of them. And the hug slayed me, of course. Interesting that Bill has become so close to Sharon -- was she still in a cell, or are they letting her live with Helo? Didn't pay close enough attention to that. Damn, everyone got married during that year, eh?

Kara story = BORING. First of all, Kara is least interesting when she is Mary Sue, who is soooooo amazing and irresistible that a Cylon has become unhinged and locked her up in hopes she will luuuuv him. OMG BORING. Also, puke. And taking one of your most dynamic characters and isolating her from the rest of the cast? Not a smart move. As for the kid, eh, whatever. Also boring. I hope this arc doesn't last too long.

I love that Tigh is like Bizarro Yoda or something. Why are all the female Cylons hot and the male Cylons not? Were Roslin and Richard Hatch flirting? Why does Helo have such a bad haircut? Questions to ponder.

Overall, I enjoyed it, and am very interested to see what's in store. Especially once Apollo!Arms are back.

Glarkware has a Studio 60 crackpipe remote t-shirt which I must have. They also brought back the BSG toaster shirt and are offering a Not a Robot shirt as well.

Holy lord, is Bradley going to get bumped from Leno because of a monkey? *glares at television*

ETA: And Brad is on and spends the entire time talking about balls and making inappropriate Foley jokes. He is a pervert and I LOVE HIM.

Aww, but the Bengals were so cuuuuute.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Not as cute as Bradley was in that shirt.

[bexatious.livejournal.com]

Or out of that shirt.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

mmmmmyes.

[bexatious.livejournal.com]

One day he will take off the bottom half of his clothes in some random movie or tv show and we will all die.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

If Studio 60 gets canceled maybe Showtime will pick it up and then he can have sex and walk around nekkid all the time.

[bexatious.livejournal.com]

Oh God. I don't know if I should now be rooting for it to succeed or for it to fail.

Okay, I made my choice: If it gets on Showtime, Janel can join and be nekkid with him. Yep.

What the Fuck?

[crossmymind.livejournal.com]

He didn't get bumped but his dog's balls got a lot of attention.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

I would have preferred talk of his balls, but either way he said "balls" a lot and thus I am pleased.

[crossmymind.livejournal.com]

I proved that I'm really five by laughing every time he said it, too. That was just one very strange story.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

It really brought out his lisp, too. And yet: hot.

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

I may need that shirt.

Caprica Six continues to be the only person on this show I like with consistancy. (I think Gaius is fascinating, but he's not a guy I'd like to spend any time with. Nutter.) Oh, and Gaeta, I like Gaeta.

Tigh-without-the-eye is one creepy motherfucker.

Leoban has to be lying about the baby, that kid is way too fucking old to be a year and a half old. It would have been awesome if Kara had killed that baby though.

Isn't the Chief a million times hotter with the beard though? Mmm, facial hair.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

I think Gaius is fascinating, but he's not a guy I'd like to spend any time with.

Well, no. God no. *g*

Leoban has to be lying about the baby, that kid is way too fucking old to be a year and a half old.

OMG it's a V baby!

Chief is hotter with facial hair, although he could use a trim.

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

I like that it's not natty. It's very Che.

OMG it totally is a V baby.

Also, I see there is a Dresden Files tv show. Do we have any sort of thoughts on if it's worth watching?

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

I know that Jim has been quite pleased with what he's seen/read of it so far. Despite some casting decisions that make my teeth hurt (Murphy is now Latina and Susan Rodriguez is a white blonde), I'm told the people behind the show love the books and want to do right by them. I'll definitely be checking it out, even though I anticipate being aggravated by every change they make.

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

Well. If you watch it I may as well. I've never read the books, though. I am steadfast in my lazy refusal to be led around like that.

[sharinlilbit.livejournal.com]

I can't believe the animal trainer is on before Bradley on Leno.

No, no...you're looking at it all wrong. Just as when he has my Boyfriend on last, it's that they're saving the best for last. *g*

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Riiiiiight. I shall keep telling myself that. *g*

[soaked-in-stars.livejournal.com]

YOU I owe big thanks to today, for your S60 ratings info. I was thrown into a conversation tonight about it at this thing, and was able to not look like a fool. You are the best. (One guy I was talking with was a writer for TWW and now for S60 and if I could remember his name, this story would be a lot better. Alas.)

[ozzyols.livejournal.com]

I am hoping that you bolstered him big time with good thoughts from those of us who want this show to succeed??

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Ha, that is awesome. Now I'm curious who it was, though.

[gingasaur.livejournal.com]

*starts randomly reading your journal* :P

Holy lord, is Bradley going to get bumped from Leno because of a monkey? *glares at television*

Woo, that's exactly what I was thinking the whole time. As I said in an IM to someone: Dude, this animal guy has to stfu or else Brad won't have any time.

And yeah. I was falling out of my chair laughing at Brad going on and on about his dead dog's balls. I can't believe the audience didn't find it nearly as lmao-licious as I did.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

It seemed like the audience couldn't decide whether or not to laugh. Hello, it's about balls, of course you should laugh. *g*

[gingasaur.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have to admit, when he brought out the balls I said, "Okay, now this is just bordering on strange, but still. *LMAO*" So I guess I know where the audience was coming from with that...

...but yeah! It's about balls! You gotta laugh.

Today my brother e-mailed me and offered me free tickets to see a taping of Celebrity Jeopardy! at Radio City Music Hall tomorrow night.

OMG, if you see Curt Schilling, will you tell him "thank you" from thestickywicket and I?

Why does Helo have such a bad haircut? Questions to ponder.

EXACTLY. At least it distracted me from Apollo's fatness.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Simon's hot, in a certain dangerous way. Also, Callum Keith Rennie is sorta scruffy hot.

*scrunches up nose* No thanks. *g*

Your velcro shoes obsession continues to amuse.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Richard Hatch is not just unnaturally obsessed with eyeliner, but unnaturally obsessed with the fact that he was on the original Battlestar Galactica. He's spent the intervening decades trying to get whoever would listen to remake the show and doing everything he can to keep his name alive. He's written a bunch of really crappy BSG novels as part of this, and I'm pretty sure the only reason he's on the current BSG is because they were afraid he'd otherwise sue them for daring to remake BSG without him. The guy is a loser. He shows up at science fiction conventions and gets people to pay him for his autograph, I think that's how he's avoided homelessness all these years.

[telaryn.livejournal.com]

Heh. I love how you and I watch the same shows and inevitably come out with differing opinions when it comes to the women (I think I agree with just about everything else you posted, though).

And Roslin and Zarek were *totally* flirting. I think Hatch has lost some weight -- which is weird, because he looks even better than when I saw him at Dragoncon.

Of course the idea of him looking even remotely good disturbs the hell out of me -- because I totally don't respect the actor at all.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Hee. Actually, I just read your post about Kara, and I agree with pretty much every word. I just thought it was also boring and predictable, is all. *g*

because I totally don't respect the actor at all.

You and me both.

Will you be watching GH during Laura's three-week stint or however long it is?
