we are fa-mi-ly
Jan. 7th, 2003 02:11 amMy brother is embarking on a quest to stay awake for seventy hours because he read somewhere that at that point one becomes clinically insane. We're all laughing at him because, except for my mother, there is no one who loves to sleep more than this boy. When he was a little kid, babysitters would come over to watch us and before it was even his bedtime, he'd get up, gather his action figures, and tromp up the stairs in his footie pajamas without even being asked to.
I was the annoying babysitting charge who refused to sleep. I remember being eight and lying on the floor in the living room watching American Gladiators next to my snoozing babysitter.
Anyway! So, he's going to try to stay up until sometime in the mid-afternoon on Thursday. I will keep you posted as to whether he succeeds.
In other news: I got the temp job! I know, isn't this exciting? In that completely non-exciting way? Whatever. My Skeevy Temp Agency is trying to swindle me out of a dollar an hour but I'm just too lazy to fight them. What spirit! What gumption! What all-out apathy!
Anyway. The other exciting event of the day was an afternoon viewing of Chicago, which was FABULOUS. I so thoroughly enjoyed it. Fun stuff!
Also thoroughly enjoyed today: The canceled sitcom Two Guys and a Girl, now in syndication on the WE network. Does anyone else out there heart that show except for me? Anyone? I seem to recall critics thinking it sucked, but man, it cracks me up! And I swear, the fact that Nation Fillion is a regular for the bulk of the episodes near the end of the series has NOTHING to do with my intense love for the show. Okay, maybe a little bit. A smidge. Also, it's just plain funny stuff!
Although it does sometimes hit a little too close to home, what with the freaky neighbor who has forty cats, is socially awkward, and wildly curly hair. Every time I see her I think, "Dude, that is SO ME!"
The only heartening thing is that near the end of the series she hooks up with Berg, played by That Guy From Fifteen. So there's hope!
