Is can has naptime?

Why must mornings be so damn early?

Had a good weekend, though not much was done. We're both still recovering from the Mutant Death Flu, or whatever the hell that was. I swear, I haven't felt as shitty as I did with this one the last two times I had pneumonia combined.

I've been playing Ratchet and Clank on the PS2, and oh my god, what a cracktastic little game. Fun, fluffy and not impossible to defeat, which is nice. Last night, we watched American Gladiators, which has become one of our new crack-shows. Really, they had me at the one contestant who wanted to win because "I don't want my momma to live in a trailer anymore" I shit you not. It was hysterical.

Also, really hot buff chicks, and boys.

It's funny how some shows become "our shows," and others, for no apparent reason, don't. Take the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Good show, good acting, people I like, from a franchise I adore. Still not my show. I watch it, I enjoy it, but it doesn't service me.

So, what are the shows that service me?

Why, I'm glad you asked!



Mondays:
American Gladiator: See also, hot girls and some awesomely funny contestants. It's satisfying the part of me that got fed up with wrestling's bullshit, but still wants to see people get the unholy shit kicked out of them.

Tuesday:
I'm so ashamed. American Idol. I started watching last season, because I'd had a shitty day, and I wanted to enjoy Simon making people feel worse than me.

Wednesday:
Mythbusters: I'm a science nerd. Deal.
Project Runway/Top Chef/Shear Genius: Bravo's reality shows are crack. Seriously. Except for Top Design, which was like watching paint dry.

Thursday:
Do you even have to ask? I love my boys. Even an episode that I end up "meh" on is better than just about anything else I could watch. Supernatural services me, and is only one of three scripted shows on the list.

Friday:
Damn you, poisontaster and mona1347! I didn't want to like SGA. I wasn't going to like it. Then you two pimped and dammit. I really love this show. Rodney McKay is my tv boyfriend.

Saturday:
Again. Damn you, mona1347! You had to show us the gay romance. Torchwood totally services me. I want to smish the characters against my bosom and cuddle them. Then, I want them to make out for my amusement. Oh...wait. They do that anyway. Such an awesome show. It services every button. Gore and violence? Check. Cool sci-fi plots? Check. Beating the everliving hell out of characters emotionally and physically? Oh yeah. Slashy subtext? Well...no. Because it's text! How awesome is that?

Sunday:
Rock of Love 2 It should be skanky and make me throw up in my mouth a little. But it doesn't. It's fun, a little sleazy. But I really like some of the girls and well...I'd still jump Bret Michaels.

Anyhow, those are the shows that service me.

Honorable mentions for crack that I'll watch to soothe myself: Dr. Who, How it's Made, Jon and Kate plus 8, Ninja Warrior.

You have no idea how much better it makes me feel that I'm not the only one who kind of loves American Gladiator. I was out last night, so I missed it, and didn't record it because I was too ashamed. Clearly, my shame is misplaced.

Heee! Last night, Preacher Andy of the church of Trash talk lost to Alex the history teacher/wrestling coach. Both were adorable, so I'm not unhappy.

Then, Venus the rehab doctor lost to...the chick with the twin girls. I cannot think of her name. Also, okay with that.

I think the finals are this Sunday. Followed by Knight Rider. Yeesh.

But as I said, I used to write WWE slash. I have no shame.

[the-ellcrys.livejournal.com]

Oh man. Let's not talk about Knight Rider and my unholy glee at that. I'm painfully and embarassingly excited for Knight Rider.

[poisontaster]

Oh good. It's not just me. And you KNOW I can't talk to the roommate about how excited I am!

When you find out the answer, let me know? *g* *guzzles more caffeine*

*pouts* It's not working. I'm still trying to prop my eyelids open. Maybe they'll think I'm working if I'm still staring at the computer screen even though my eyes keep closing?

Heh, they are rather early, aren't they? But then I wouldn't really know, seeing as I never really went to bed. Yes, fic and MASSIVE MOUNTAINLOADS of work will do that. Why do I go to college again?

*snores*

Rodney McKay is my tv boyfriend.

Which is good! Because I can call Ronon and then we can be swingers. *beam*

(Pee Ess: John Sheppard would be our shared houseboy.)

How did I not know you watch PR and Top Chef?? And WHY are you not watching Make Me a Supermodel?

[katzb101.livejournal.com]

Heee.... being Torchwood obsessed focused is a thing of beauty. *g*

Now when can we encourage you and Jess to write fir for it? And can I please leave cookies for your muses *vbg*

Pretty please with sugar on the top? :-)

I'm so excited that Gladiator is starting here again soon!!! I loved that show when I was younger, and I'm seriously looking forward to the ridiculous characters and the totally campy outfits and fighting implements :D

[sorchar.livejournal.com]

Mm, Torchwood.

That's because I'm AWESOME and I'd NEVER let you live the rest of your life without knowing the joys of Crackland (SGA) and QueerScape (Torchwood). Because I VALUE OUR FRIENDSHIP. I pimp because I LOVE

[Also, I'm sending y'all winrar-ed chunks of Gosford Park.]

I'm sadly addicted to American Gladiators. Wolf is my favorite - I don't believe I have a favorite Gladiator *FACEPALM!* - because he absolutely seems not to take his character too seriously.
