i'm glad some of you got to see cylons tonight

[dianora2]

So I couldn't watch BSG tonight because my fucking cable is out thanks to the horrible rainstorm that hit here today. I cannot dwell on that for too long as it sends me into a blind rage. Thoughts will have to wait until after I see it this weekend. Sniffle.

In brighter news, the entire cast of VH1's upcoming I Love Money has been revealed, and as it will have both Mr. Boston AND Chance, my life is a little more complete.

Also, I read this today: "Meanwhile, VH1 announced Thursday that it's developing a skein with Scott Baio that would put eight former male teen idols of the 80s and 90s together in a house." How exciting is that?? VH1 just gives and gives and gives.

For those who were as confused by last night's Lost as I was, I really loved the EW recap. Really excellent food for thought there.

And for Survivor fans there's a great video interview with Jeff Probst and Dalton Ross here. Wow, Jeff is wee.

And for the Gen X folk among us, I was amused going through this complete list of ABC After School Specials. Some of the titles are hilarious. My favorite is "My Dad Lives in a Downtown Hotel."

What did Nikki Cox do to her face?

This article about the presidential candidates getting interviewed by publications like US Weekly puzzled me, mainly for this quote: "Campaign aides say that they can usually count on a soft, friendly chat conducted by reporters or television hosts who are unlikely to hit them with questions about the Iraq war..." Because, you know, I didn't think ANY reporters were asking the candidates about the Iraq war anymore. Not when there's bowling and pastors to talk about.

I'm mostly just here to wish a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to twinparadox and proggrrl!! It's kind of cool that one of my oldest online friends shares a birthday with one of my newest. That's beautiful.

OK, since I don't have BSG to hash over I might as well try to turn in early, as I'm pooped.

I will watch anything with Mr. Boston in it. ANYTHING.

I am still bitter we never got a sitcom about Chance and Mr. Boston being roommates, as that would have been the greatest show in the history of the world.

Maybe they will all be living in a big gaudy mansion on the show and the two will end up sharing a room!

Oh please please please please please!

Those after-school special titles are AWESOME. "The Skating Rink." Really? That was all they could come up with? It's not like "The Cutting Edge" was taken back then. I also enjoy "Me and Dad's Wife." Hmm, I wonder what that one's about?

Season 11, Episode 8: The Wave
Original Air Date: 30 March 1983
High School teacher decides to conduct a social experiment, asking his students to take part. But what they don't know is that the experiment is on mind control.

The Wave! OMG, I totally remember that. I think we watched it in school, too. Clearly, it taught a Very Important Lesson.

I also recall "Date Rape" well. I loved Reed Diamond on Homicide, but I always remember him first as the jock date rapist (who grew a conscience in the end IIRC).

I think they realized some of these in box sets, right? Man, that would make for some great group viewing. Along with lots of booze.

I like "Mom and Dad Can't Hear Me" as well.

Looks like there's a BUNCH (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=after+school+special&x=0&y=0) on DVD. Drunkenness would most definitely be required. :D

I love your icon! Bwahahaha!

Also, I Love Money looks horrendous. The cast makes me want to go buy Benadryl to cure the hives they give me in mere still picture form, let alone what they do by moving and talking on my TV. I am so looking forward to watching that show.

I'm sorry to hear about your cable woes. :( Perhaps you could watch the BSG on the Skiffy website?

Because, you know, I didn't think ANY reporters were asking the candidates about the Iraq war anymore. Not when there's bowling and pastors to talk about.

I join you in your bitter laugh.

McCain's stance on Iraq will become important, though. EVENTUALLY.

Take care!

I'm mostly just here to wish a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to [info]twinparadox and [info]proggrrl!! It's kind of cool that one of my oldest online friends shares a birthday with one of my newest. That's beautiful.

It's the circle of life, baby. *g*

Thanks for the wishes. I got a sitter and went out for dinner with two of my oldest friends and eight of my newest. See above re: circle of life.
