So being at home over break has led me to make some very questionable TV choices. The other night I watched a rerun of that Richard Branson Rebel Billionaire show on FX. This show is stupid and shitty, but I still ended up watching it. The only cool thing about it is at the end when he has to choose between two people and send one of them home. I guess the premise of the show is that they fly to a different place each week so they all meet outside the airplane and then Richard Branson gives his little speech (he does have a cool accent) and then presents the two with envelopes that they open, and only one has a ticket in it and that person gets on the plane and the other has to stand on the tarmac while the plane flies off. That is seriously cool.

Then the other night I got SUCKED INTO a marathon of that show Airline on A&E. I seriously mean sucked in. They had it set up so as soon as a show ended they had like a ten second bumper talking about how the regular time of the show had changed and then the next episode started. I couldn't turn it off! Starting at 1030 I watched like 5 episodes in a row and I finally made myself turn it off around 1. It had an evil hold on me. It's a good show though, it you want to see crazy people go to an airport. This one woman, who was obviously foreign, left her bag full of like 6 tubs of I Can't Beleive It's Not Butter unattended and the airport cops came and confiscated it. And then the airline worker had to escort the woman down to lost and found to get back her 6 tubs of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. That woman loves her butter substitutes, that is for sure.

So far I have been good about avoiding The Real World even though it has been on MTV like ten million times. I have not watched it that much this season so I am trying not to get sucked into reruns. I did see, however, the episode where one of the roommates didn't want to work the Easter Seals walk because she had a "phobia" of disabled children. SERIOUSLY, I am not making this shit up. I wish the disabled children had knocked her down and kicked her ass, that would have been awesome, but they did not and then she was all like "I have learned so much" but you know she hasn't and she's going to cross the street the next time she sees a toddler in a wheelchair. Whore.

I asked Santa Claus to bring me new episodes of My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss for Christmas.

Who Needs An Ecopon?

Why is My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss not on tonight? This makes me very sad, I need my weekly dose of laughter.

What the fuck, seriously

Has anyone else seen those truly terrifying commercials on VH1 with this kitten being chased by all these crazed weirdo animals? One of the animals looks like the hamster fetus from Quizno's, but seriously, who came up with this commercial idea and was like, yea, this is a winner. I almost wet my pants watching it the other night, IT IS SCARY.

The Apprentice Was Terrific, Impressive, and We Loved It

This old post needs a preface. This is the first in a series of posts from the aforementioned TV blog my friends Leslie, Stacey, and I posted on for like ten seconds back in the day. (It was called "The Inside World" cause "Remember that old saying 'What's going on in the outside world?' Yea, we don't care so much about that, we prefer to stay inside with our TVs." We were clever.) Back when the Apprentice was still halfway decent, my hetero life partner, Stacey, and I "im'ed" as the kids would say, during the season finale. (I think this was the second season, anyways, it was the one where that bitchy blonde chick Jen, who was a total waste of space, made it to the finals.)

PizzaKari and Stay-Lo chatted during the Apprentice finale. It was funny. Read along, why don't you?

[regis interviews ten million people and 999,999 pick kelly over jen]

[jen lists her academic credentials for the 37,000th time]
PK: did you know that she went to princeton? and harvard?

PK: yea, seriously. fuck harvard law, FOR REAL. what is wrong with her?

PK: SHE WAS PRESIDENT OF HER SORIOTY
SL: i am so sick of hearing aobut harvard and princeton
PK: she is ready to lead a huge corporation
SL: the next person i meet who went to them. i'm going to punch
PK: i mean, those are good schools, but if you have to namedrop them every five minutes you have an issue
SL: it really brings down the value of your education if you have to keep mentioning them

[jen tries to defend her losing record by complaining about the all female team and then the wait for the winner to be announced begins, see if you can guess who won based on our reaction]
PK: jen is like, i was with some crazy ass bitches

Three Hours I Am Sure I Will Want Back

If Jen wins on The Apprentice tonight I will never try Pepsi Edge in protest. Although I still will try the Holiday Spice Pepsi, YUM.

My mini iPod loves Joe Jackson

Why is it every time I listen to all my songs (all 940 of them) on shuffle on my iPod without fail "Steppin Out" by Joe Jackson is one of the first ten it plays. WITHOUT FAIL. Maybe Joe Jackson has stock in Apple or something

Not an original rant.

I am sure this particular topic has been beat to death by many people in many places but I fucking hate commercials that use songs I like in their advertisements. It was bad enough when a car commercial was set to the tune of "do you realize?" but i truly cannot handle that the new C2 low carb drink by coke uses "you can't always get what you want," which is quite possibly my all time favorite song. This is just not right and even though i hate coke and their goddamn ass advertising I still drink this product. But only because it is only 25 cents in my work vending machine. Otherwise FUCK COKE.

There is no subject.

I have seen the trailer for the movie Garden State twice now and it Blows. Me. Away. The song is called "Let Go" by some band named Frou Frou and I ordered it just because that song is so damn good. I keep thinking, however, that this movie will never live up to the awesomeness that is the trailer and I will be disappointed and sad.

Also, Natalie Portman kind of pisses me off.
