tv just makes you sicker

out sick the last couple of days, which means that instead of working from home and taking naps, i take naps at home and occasionally work to dull the boredom. or something like that. i can’t really keep my head straight with all this cold medicine.

what it really means is that i end up watching a lot of television. i’ve plowed through so much stuff that was sitting around on my tivo it’s not even funny. the entire run of neon genesis evangelion, for example (what the fuck was the end all about?). this season’s episodes of the simpsons. assorted episodes of mythbusters. and even a few random eps of homicide: life on the street (which, by the way, reminds me to include andre braugher as det. frank pembleton in my top 25 tv characters of all time).

and then of course, new episodes of my favorite reality show right now, project runway. which is really indescribably great. because:

1. as opposed to things like ANTM, there’s actual talent involved, not just how pretty or stupid or stupid pretty you are.
2. you can actually see who sucks and who doesn’t. is vincent’s dress ugly or not? you can see that it’s hideous! as opposed to some cooking show where you can’t taste it yourself.

alas, last night’s ep was a cop out, and then they’re also making us wait for two weeks before the finale. however, enterprising folks could just get a sneak peek at the results if so desired.

mamaluna and i conferred, and we’re guessing laura, laura, laura, laura, michael, michael, michael, michael, michael, jeffrey, jeffrey, jeffrey, uli, uli, uli, uli, jeffrey/michael?, jeffrey?

and finally— OMG:

if this means nothing to you, maybe you should be glad you’re not home sick yourself.
