Back In The Habit

I'm up at ten of five in the morning for no reason. It seems that I'm back in the habits of the days of yore.

Oh my, Russell Crowe is hot.

Sorry, non-sequitur. Well, to you all. To me, it works because I just saw a commercial on TNT for an upcoming showing of Gladiator. Anyway, I just haven't had the desire to sleep. I'm tired, I think, and I had been planning to go to sleep an hour ago, but I started flipping channels and found an episode of Law and Order on TNT. I forgot how much I loved this show. Stupid things like work have gotten in the way of my TV watching. It's not like I have much to do tomorrow anyway.

So I'm getting a pretty sizeable amount back from the government, and it's about $300 more than I thought. So I'm deciding what to do with my $300 of found money. Perhaps a few DVDs, a new car stereo with a built in iPod dock, and an ABDoer. Yeah, I said it. Those commercials have me intrigued. They're only shown at this time of night, so I can only assume that they're being shown for me. Anyway, the ABDoer takes up less space than something like the AbLounge, and it seems fun! All this sitting and leaning and turning and stuff.

So I flipped channels, and now I'm watching a classic late 3rd season episode of Dawson's Creek. It's the one where they visit Aunt Gwen, and Joey is trying to pretend she isn't totally in looooove with Pacey. Tell me not to buy the 3rd season of Dawson's Creek. I'm really, really planning on buying Rome instead, with all the hot, non-whiny, non-Van Der Beek actors. If I was to buy any season of DC, it would be the 3rd. All the awesome Joey and Pacey tension, all the Beek slamming and non-acting. And how much do I hate fucking Meredith Monroe? My God, does she suck hardcore.

So I promised a story about my computer, and that you shall get. I'm currently typing without an E key. I'm using the little rubber suctioney thing that lives underneath the E key. I called Dell, which I promised I'd never do again, and asked them if I could buy a new E key. That and only that. It turns out that I can't buy a single key. I have to buy a new keyboard. Which I had to do, because typing like this is supremely annoying and buzz-killing.

I forgot how much I liked writing late at night like this. Or, early in the morning. Here's a question: why must TBS show movies that supremely suck? TNT has Gladiator, and The Bourne Identity. TBS has Legally Blonde and Annoying, and Bridget Fucking Jones and the Edge Reason and Audience Tolerence.

Dear sweet Christ on a sailboat, I forgot how unsubtle and obvious this show was. I can't decide if Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson thought his audience was completely stupid, or if he just can't write worth shit. Of course, that would mean he can't recognize good writing, which would explain the continuing shittiness of every single episode of this show.

I'll sign off in the words of the sun in the Jimmy Dean commercial: "I have to be at work early to light and heat the earth."
