Live Blogging "The New Adventures of Old Christine" tonight at 9pm!

Lots of bloggers, I've noticed, do this thing they call "live blogging" wherein the watch something on TV like the Oscars or Project Runway, and they blog their thoughts in real time. It's like hanging out with friends without having to put on a bra. Generally I hate live blogging and never follow it, which is why I'm doing it tonight and subjecting you to my boringness. The ooooone catch is that this is a DVRed episode of "Christine" so it's not actually live. At all.

Also I'll just take this opportunity to say, shut up if you're laughing at me for watching this show. I caught my first episode at the gym last week and found it predictable, stupid, and surprisingly hilarious. The plot is incomprehensible, the acting is really artificial, and the sets are cheap looking. But about twice an episode, one of the characters comes out with A REAL ZINGER that leaves me laughing to myself for hours. I spent most of Friday shouting to Scott, "Did you enjoy the singing, Mother Campbell?!" and then convulsing in hysterics while he looked at me with that wistful "Why am I dating this monkey?" look that I know so well.

Now, let's begin.

-- The episode is called "Snakes on a Date" and the summary says "Christine agrees to a date with a children's entertainer who specializes in reptile parties, hoping to help Ritchie get into the Reptile Club." Oh shenanigans, I await you!

-- Ok first commercial break. Time to type. I think I'm kind of missing out on the hilarity at hand because I'm concentrating too hard. "Christine" is best enjoyed by a half-distracted mind. Summary until now: Christine's BFF Wanda Sykes owns a gym, where Christine apparently works? Who knew. And Wanda is featured in a black women's magazine and suddenly a lot of black women join the gym. Christine pretends she doesn't know they're black. Why? Don't know. Also her Asian inspired t-shirt and necklace are muy heinous.

-- There is no time line in this show. Days have no boundaries. If you don't carefully watch Christine's outfits you will get really confused. But if you pay TOO much attention to outfits you'll also get confused, because sometimes they forget to change Richard and Matthew's shirts.

-- LOL. Christine tries to say "right back" to the new black members and she says "I'll be white black. Whiiiite. White black. Black. I'll be white black."

-- Ummm I'm beginning to suspect this is not the episode "Snakes on a Date." There has been no mention of reptiles yet and I have not glimpsed Ritchie.

-- God this was the worst episode ever.

winter is hard

Winter is hard, because there's so much TV to watch. It really eats into the time I set aside for "responsible stuff" and makes me realize how bad I am at prioritizing when I have to choose between writing papers, going to the gym, and watching Modern Family. Thank god I don't work full time.

I made this flow chart to help with decision making:

i was doing so well for a while

I posted so many blog entries in August...and then I kind of fell off the wagon. Literally, I fell asleep while Pa was driving, and now I'm all bruised up and dusty, and no one even noticed I was gone, so now I'm alone here on the Oregon Trail trying not to die of diarrhea. No I'm kidding, I fell of the wagon figuratively. I'm an alcoholic again, it prevents me from blogging. Actually there have been no wagons (covered, AA, or otherwise), I'm just lazy and boring.

Here's something I made for a class over the summer. It's just a bunch of pictures stolen from Flickr that I photoshopped together and Palette-Knife-Filtered, but I think it looks cool.
