Okay, so I’m a little behind with my Beauty and the Geek reviews. I managed to watch the first two-hour premiere today, but I didn’t have time to get anything written down (Lord knows I’ll have to do some research to figure out all their names… talking about how half of them have had boob jobs—geeks included—can only fill up so many paragraphs, ya know…). But I had to take off after watching the show to visit someone in the hospital. (more…)
It should read, “Yarrrr, we be hittin’ another snag in the plans, me hearties! Go swab the deck!”
It’s September 19th: Happy “Talk Like a Pirate Day”, everyone!
It’s called “going on a trip to the cabin with my family and praying that the VCR will record properly on Thursday evening.” Said snag will also delay the Episode 1 review, but given that I’ll be at the cabin, it’s quite possible that you’ll be stressing out about it a lot more than me. If it helps at all, I’ll take an extra nap this weekend for your benefit. No need to thank me—just doing what I can to help out.
And wouldn’t you know it, I did. Thankfully, they’ll be replaying the first episode of this season’s Beauty and the Geek again on Thursday, so you’ll have to wait until then for a vaguely amusing review based on what the editors show us plus my personal biases.
I think my reason for missing most of the show is legit: I was having dinner with some family members to celebrate my grandma’s 90th birthday. We decided to meet at 6:00, which meant I missed the last (retelevised) part of the USA v. Nigeria game in the Women’s World Cup; thankfully, the team won 1-0 without me and took the top seed in Group B. “USA! USA! USA!”
. . .
Anyway! Because the restaurant we went to was a buffet and I went back for thirds—salad, main course, ice cream… plus a few cookies and a breadstick for good measure—it took a while to finish and I got home with about 20 minutes of Beauty and the Geek remaining. Damn…
Aside from all that, happy 90th birthday, Grandma! Hope you can make it back for a second plate on your 100th, too.
Let’s see what’s behind Curtain Number 1… it’s Season 4 of Beauty and the Geek! Wheeeee!
Tuesday, Sept. 18th
8:00-10:00 EST
Don’t miss out or… well, you’ll miss out.
Or maybe more than a few hours. I’m not sure how often The Gate moves from story to story on its main page, but there was a day when I could go to the site and there it was: a picture of me in my sorta-almost-glory that people could bask in. And it wasn’t even because I’d been arrested this time.
Nope, the article was an “interview” that I did with a writer for the website, which entailed his sending me some questions, my responding to them and him deciding what to include. If you’d like to take a look, here’s the link plus the text inside for when the link disappears (which could be in another few hours…). (more…)
