floating down the river

First of all, I want to thank Alex for joining us in the posting section. I was laughing for a good five minutes after I read some of your posts. But you must stop talking about you and Becky and those things you do. Just stop, please.

Second, sorry to take so long with the post (Natae, I know you've been counting on these to get you through coffee). I've been in heavy denial. I haven't yet put my profile up on match.com yet and I have barely been doing these posts. Can I just go Rainman for a little longer? I keep thinking about that AA-ism 'Denial's not just a river in Egypt'. It makes more sense if you say it out loud.

Instead of talking about trying to hop back on the dating horse I'd much rather talk about a guilty pleasure: tv watching. Especially thursday night tv. I Love watching Men in Trees (I know I've already mentioned this). I mean love it. Blatant plot lines, appealing, beautiful guys wearing few shirts, it's a beautiful dish of mind candy. At the same time, Aaron Sorkin won me over with West Wing. It was the perfect combination of humor, intelligence and a strong civic duty that I have felt for so long has been lacking in this world. Or maybe in my general political universe. And you know Aaron Sorkin is doing that show Studio 60 blah blah blah, and I was so excited. I mean, it's still intelligent and political and about humor, and I'd watch it on principle but I actually really enjoy the show. I'm mentally stimulated by a tv show, a very rare occurrence, and I'm such a fan.

Well, the point is now the two shows are duking it out on Thursday nights- same time, different channels. Head to head. I can't believe I have to choose between mind candy and mind food. Bastards. I know I'll have to figure out another way. There must be another way.

Now, back to our original programming. I promise- promise- I'll have more to say about this match.com thing. This weekend I'll finish my profile, finish my laundry and clean my room. Good god I can't wait for the weekend.
