The sweet scent of charred flesh ...
Yay, today is steak night, like it is every Monday evening in faboolous Fort McMurray. Steak, blehhh.
Well that one day off came and went pretty fast, it depressed me. Fight Night 2 that I was so excited for, turned out to be another EA "minor fix" sequel, with nine horrible rap songs on it and NO custom soundtracks. How the game got 9s in various reviews is completely beyond my level of comprehension.
Then of course, teh w33d was my good friend of the evening, he and I watched the O.C. together for about five episodes. I've never seen the O.C. before and I've got a pasty Japanese bud who literally creams his pants at the mention of the O.C. For the first couple episodes I was hooked, this was excellent scripting and had some pretty interesting characters, especially the evil momma who's Marissa's uhh.. momma.
My favourite character is definetely the lawyer dude. Some of you may know him as THE KING of real estate in American Beauty. I just love his dialog in the O.C. thats MY body and mind you got there man.. God cheated me.
And here he is, the KING of real estate, Peter Gallagher. (I just like putting pictures on here, duh)
And the realism in the O.C. is like.. omigod. I've been watching movies lately from the point of view of a "screenwriter" and its easier for me to appreciate solid writing. They have to account for so many subtle little things, it still puzzles me how a script like that is banged out by some pimply dude at his computer. Its a formula goshdarnit, and someday I'll figure that shit out and make million$.
But it got staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale and oooooooooooooooooooold so quickly and at around episode five I realized its just a cheap, fluff teenage opera with drugs and sex to spur the plot along. Its certainly no Six Feet Under, which I consider to be el magnificato (how the hell you spell that I dont know) from season 1 to season 2, episode to episode. It also doesn't need to throw tragedy after tragedy to keep its audience interested, no, it pontificates, ponders, and propells itself RIGHT IN YO FACE the way a good drama should be. Not exploiting its characters so needlessly and dismissing a huge plot point in favour of a new one without properly fleshing out the consequences of the prior plot thread. Eh, maybe I'm being overly critical, I still have a 1/2 season left to go before I lay the final smackdown on my opinion. I may not consider it Days Of Our Lives for teenagers with A.D.D. after all.
Sooo.. my lovely assistant at work today (Natasha) and I may be going to (wait for it) the CIRCUS next weekend. Yeah, it sounds as gay in text as it probably will end up being in person. But I don't care, I'm just sick of spending the past few years just doing .. NOTHING as far as "life experiences" go. I haven't even banged a hot Asian broad, and thats on the TOP of my to do list! (psst Jer, hook me up with your cuz). So thus, the circus we will go. I can just totally imagine the happy, serene look of contention on my face as I relive the joyous wonders of being five years old again. Heh, who am I kidding, I'm gonna get stoned and watch the elephants poo on the stage.
Well thats about it, again I'm anticipating my single day off in about four days, I'm likely to end up spending my day airing out my naked cawk while in a drunk stupor, never underestimate the de-stressing qualities of sheer unabashed nudity, it beats the hell out of Vicodin.
Stay tuned for my next dramatic update, where I will reveal to you all which new cell phone I ended up purchasing to replace my beloved six year old Nokia. You won't want to miss this folks.
Laaaaaaaates.
