This is an Andy Rooney post. My apologies. I swore to never write an Andy Rooney “kids these days” post, but you know, oh well. I am weak-minded and weak-willed and it’s Monday, my friends.
Bath & Body Works hand soap is expensive. I did the math one time and it works out to something like four and a half cents per squirt if you buy it on the 3 for $10 “sale” they seem to have perpetually. Sure it’s cheaper than the hospital bill for e Coli, but honestly, it’s still a bit spendy. Which is why it irks the snot out of me when I press down on the pump and soapfoam ejaculates across the bathroom into my chest. While antibacterial Bukkake may be thrilling for some folks, for me it’s about a dime’s worth of soap pretty much wasted.
Speaking of waste, it also bugs me that there is no curbside recycling in Hermitage.
Speaking of recycling…how come no matter how many times they change it, Gray’s Anatomy still sucks out loud? I just honestly am bugged at how a fresh and exciting show could turn so blasted awful in just a few short months. It makes me sad. It makes me sadder that Kevin Kidd has to resort to being Insert McNickname Doctor Here #82 now that Journeyman is off the air. Yes, I will whine about the cancellation of Journeyman forever. Of course I should be happy. As unique, fun and different as it was, it could have gone the Gray’s Anatomy route and been PrimeTime Pukefest by now.
Just Another Pretty Farce 
My husband and I, having sworn off GA at the beginning of last season, had a serious discussion of whether to watch the first show this season (me involved in a serious discussion of TV-watching qualifies as “kids these days,” I’m pretty sure). We decided to give it another try, and even Rome Guy won’t get us to watch it again next week. Man, I miss the show I thought we were getting that first season.
I buy Cardwell & Massey soap on sale; is that any cheaper per squirt?
I NEVER got all the hullabaloo of watching Grey’s Anatomy. I watched, I think, two episodes and was just irritated.
Watching GA, to me, is like watching your friend get treated like crap for years by the same man, and never understanding why the friend doesn’t wake up and leave the person who is making her feel so miserable about herself.
When is LOST back on the air, anyway?
I’d swear you intentionally sprinkle certain words in your posts sometimes just to see if you can get people searching for porn to accidentally stumble across your site 🙂
Beth, were the episodes you watched during the first half of the first season? Because it was all different then. Back in the day, it was a show about smart, ambitious doctors and how they interacted. And the things they did emerged naturally from their characters, and did not appear to be mere plot devices. And they were even heading towards having Cristina have an abortion without chickening out at the last moment or, it seemed, feeling the least guilt about it (not that my goal in life is to see TV characters have abortions, you understand, but I hate with a passion the recurring trope in the past few years that a character plans to have an abortion but doesn’t because she’s so lovable and besides that would be the wrong kind of controversial). Then the show got popular, and they decided to go the easy route.
what nm said about GA. It was very good. So good that I BOUGHT the first miniseason on DVD and lent it out to people to convert them. Someone else– I forget who– still has my DVD but I could not care less. Now. Once the Team Of Soap Opera Writers took over led by Marni or Mamie or whatever her name is, the suckage took root and strangled the show.
As for me using pr0nie words to boost my hit count–actually that’s not why I do it. I don’t have ads anymore and random hits from Pervy Porn Fanciers don’t matter to me. I just like the frissoin of having “naughty” words–or, more accurately, regular words associated with “haughtiness”—in my writing. I think of it as the hot pepper flakes on the pizza or the parsley on the plate. Also, I have a mind that occasionally steps in the gutter when the sidewalk gets too boring.
Have you thought about switching to Method liquid soaps? They are about a buck cheaper a bottle and the smells are comparable (at least to my not very discerning nose).
Oh, I see I goofed on Caswell-Massey above.
NM & Kat — yes, I watched it in the first season, like one of the first few episodes. I just didn’t get it.
