TV & music: Am I a complete nut? I watch South Park whenever I can (but I don't schedule my life around it). So I caught the last half of the stem cell episode last night. As an aside, I've never seen it, so I still don't know how it starts (basically, I'm sure, it explains why Kenny needs stem cells). So when I saw Cartman talking on the floor of the House of Representatives, I cynically thought "What the Hell? Is this a 'Very Special' South Park?". But when he started reciting "Heat of the Moment" - and Congresscritters started singing along - I laughed my ass off. And I had to buy this. Nor is it the first time I've bought a song solely from laughing at a scene in South Park. I bought this when I saw it on the whole homeschooling episode...I'd never heard of Dio before. And if I can find somewhere to download a copy of that goofy Karate Kid song "You're the Best" I'm going to...that baseball episode, seriously, makes me laugh from start to finish. I literally cannot stop laughing. Suffice it to say that it enjoys "Save until I delete" status on my DVR (some TiVo knockoff). The only things that come close to being that funny are (1) the end of the episode where Stan & Cartman flooded that town with "Uncle Rex"'s boat, where Stan admits it and the townspeople, in all their sanctimony, follow suit & (2) at the final table of the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions where Matusow tortures Hellmuth for not calling when Matusow had 8-3 off-suit. HILARIOUS.
The Love Life: So my week-and-a-half tryst ended because I humiliated myself (hahaha you think I'm going to go into that...I don't feckin' think so), and then humiliated myself (& overwhelmed her emotionally, apparently) in talking about it. Well, she didn't say as much (she said it was because we were searching for topics of conversation, that we were too much alike to enjoy really good conversation & grow and all of that relationship stuff) but I'm not a complete retard. Even if a lot of the other stuff is true (although I'd chalk the mediocre conversation to me...I've never been the greatest of conversationalists, and I'd much rather listen & absorb information than talk). Eh. Having been away from the dating game for a while (with the exception of a few first dates) - or more precisely not having any sort of close female companionship in that time - I had forgotten how enjoyable having a good woman around, laughing & joking and otherwise sharing (to an extent) can be. And how pale life can be without her.
Eh.
More later. I'm tired.
