I love Bones.

I miss Gretchen so much my spleen hurts. My spleen! Do you know how much missing that takes?

Anyway...

I figured out why I don't blog any more. It's because I just e-mail Pip, Mip, and Chester with my weird little moments of thought. Them, or Eve and Jannette, two of my co-workers. But back to the triad... Who are Pip, Mip, and Chester? And are those their real names? Um, no.

Pip is Pip. She has a real name, but it makes her sound like a stripper instead of the House-watching tae kwon do black belt weilding computer dork that she is.

Mip is Male Pip. His real name might or might not be Tom. His real name might or might not be Betty. I'm really not sure. All I know is he's very flexible. How I know this will remain a secret.

Chester is actually a woman: Chester the Molester. She has the most nicknames, I think. Chester, Gretzel, Pot, Tiyen, Gretchen, Margaret... You were never a Stooge, were you?

Anyway, I e-mail these three instead of posting here, so you can blame them. Then I got the bright idea, post your e-mails! Wow, Laura, took you a while on that one.

Originally sent on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo - A Celebration of Mayonaise):

I'm sitting here eating my Cracker Jack and thinking of some things. I'm thinking my ass is killing me. As is the rest of my body. But I'm also thinking, why the hell is it called Cracker Jack? Is it some white person thing? And then I see that "Jack" is this sailor dude on the front of the bag. Okay. But why cracker? Jack is a white guy, is that why? There are no crackers in Cracker Jack. In fact, I checked the ingredients, which made me think even more because the first ingredient is... sugar, not popcorn. In fact, popcorn is the third ingredient, right behind corn syrup. So while I'm eating mostly popcorn, apparently I'm really ingesting two types of sugar. Great. But really, why the hell is it called Cracker Jack? I see it has a web site.

Okay, Cracker Jack history: "1896 Louis Rueckheim, F.W.'s brother and partner, discovers the process for keeping the molasses-covered popcorn morsels from sticking together. Louis gives the treat to a salesman who exclaims, "That's crackerjack!" "So it is," says F.W. Rueckheim, who then has the words trademarked."

Huh. There goes my white theory.

This site even includes Jack's funny facts: One ostrich egg can easily serve 12, but can take two hours to hard boil.

This leads to the question, who the hell is boiling ostrich eggs?

P.S. Has something happened to the world when Bones is better than House? And on more than one occasion?

And why are Robert and Holly and Luke all back on GH? Anna's coming too - this Friday! Guess the Style network decided to spring Finola for an hour or two. Maybe the world really is coming to an end. No, that would only happen if Genie came back, too. But I mean, Sonny and Emily? Although HYSTERICAL scene between Sonny and Ric as they discussed their familial connections (I'm paraphrasing Ric here - "Alexis is Sam's mother. That means Kristina and Sam are half sisters. And you got Alexis pregnant. And Sam pregnant. And if Sam's baby had lived, she would have been my... niece?" Niece and step-grandaughter, Ric!) COME ON! And need I remind everyone, Robin has had HIV for like 10 years?

I feel better.

Holy crap! Two posts in one day! Have I been kidnapped and replaced by a blog-posting alien? Speaking of which...

Are You Normal?

Your Normalcy Quotient is: 48 out of 100.

Your quiz results make you a Wonderful Eccentric

You've earned the title of wonderful eccentric, and while you're not a wild, gun slinging maverick, you certainly like to follow your own way. Of course, you probably don't think of yourself as eccentric. As Einstein might say, "It's all relative."

I have a new friendtest! http://lmdugan.friendtest.com. And no, Lucas, there's nothing about porn on it.

I'm also very giddy today. I've been e-mailing Jannette, hence the title of this post. This is what I've been sending her:

a pilot is the first episode of a series.. sometimes it sucks. sometimes it doesn't. sometimes it's just confusing, like with "Bones" when they totally misused the song "Collide" which is on my top ten list of favorite songs, but it just wasn't used in the right way and it totally pissed me off which doesn't mean I don't totally associate it with Booth and Bones, I do, even though it was used in scene with just Brennan looking at some bones... which doesn't mean she was looking at herself. her nickname is Bones. her real name is Temperance Brennan, which is a hell of a name. Everyone calls her Brennan. Or Tempie. Which annoys me. Call her Temp. No "eeeee" at the end. Her name isn't Tempie-er-ance. Booth is the only one who calls her Bones. SQUEE! Anyway... I think I'm going to work on my web site.

(and then later)

there are shows that do really well in the first season, like House, and then kinda screw it up in the second season... I mean, it's not bad, it's just not *as* good. And they brought on Sela Ward, and I like her, i really do, but her character TOTALLY sucked ass... so I got frustrated with the show. And I'd watch it on the phone with Pip and we'd end up talking more and more through the show... and then we both nearly threw up when House and Stacey kissed. eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww. though this season we did get to see shirtless Hugh AND we saw the leg. But Cameron slept with Chase. I still haven't brought myself to watch that episode. There's a really good article with the creator of House where he calls himself a whore... you kinda get the idea of where House came from. http://www.macleans.ca/culture/television/article.jsp?content=20060320_123370_123370 Did you know that House is a play on Sherlock Holmes? House/Homles? And his best friend is Wilson... Watson... not sure how the ducklings fit in...

If Jannette wasn't scared of me before, she should be now.

Later!
