A Lesbinian?
Mood:  don't ask
Damn. No sun in today's forecast. Still looking for that first tasty ray of '05. We did get some snow though. I love my garage.

I forgot to mention the other night that I watched some of the extras on the ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY disc. And, really, I wasn't very impressed. There are a ton of deleted scenes and alternate takes included, but I didn't find most of them to be interesting. One that I did like features an actor who was completely cut out of the film, Joe Flaherty, the great comic character actor from SCTV and FREAKS & GEEKS, a series executive-produced by ANCHORMAN producer Judd Apatow (look for other F&G cast in the film too). In the scene, Christina Applegate is flashing back to other stations she has worked at where she has been subjected to sexism. When Flaherty, as a Houston station manager, asks Christina to do the news in a bikini and she refuses, he accuses her of being a "lesbinian". What humor is in the scene flows from Flaherty's performance, although it might have been funnier if he had done it as Guy Caballero.

In the Comments section below, Toler mentions Woodman's homemade Christmas cards. I don't want to say much more about them without Woodman's permission, since his bosses may not see the humor in them, but they are brilliant. If I could only get him to do more... If you want to see them, come on over and I'll show them to you.

I just noticed a new reality show called WICKEDLY PERFECT premieres on CBS tonight. Here's the Yahoo! program description:

The 12 contestants, divided into two teams, must come up with a name for each team and pick as many apples as they can in 30 minutes; when the apples are picked, they must come up with team projects using their entire harvest.

Wow. Fucking riveting. I'd better use my couch seatbelt for that one so I don't fall off the edge of the seat.

Read an interesting article the other day about how it appears that in the near future, the internet will be the new home of TV. Direct, on demand programming on your schedule, and programming that you actually want to watch. The article painted it as a possible extinction of Network TV, which would completely remove shows like this proposed reality series from the airwaves. Sure, a few people might want to watch the bachelor, but by the time they get to The Bachelor 13, no one's going to care. Personally, I have absolutely no problem with putting at least some of the programming control back in the hands of the people who are watching/paying for it. Undoubtedly they'll find a way to inundate it with advertising, but what can you do.
