Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I just watched Aidan.

I agree with Kiba. We got robbed.

I want those DVDs.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

It's gone more than a week sínce I watched Aidan and I'm still numb from the loss. Rage will probably happen soon.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

I know this was mentioned here once so I thought I might follow up.

Stars on Ice for "Skating"

  • Dave Coulier and two-time Olympic figure skating medalist Nancy Kerrigan
  • Olympic decathlon gold medalist and television personality Bruce Jenner with world champion pairs figure skater Tai Babilonia
  • Todd Bridges with three-time U.S. national pairs figure skating champion and world championship medalist Jenni Meno
  • Kristy Swanson with two-time Olympic pairs figure skating medalist and world champion Lloyd Eisler
  • Deborah Gibson with four-time world figure skating champion Kurt Browning
  • Television personality, reporter and weather forecaster Jillian Barberie with three-time U.S. pairs figure skating champion and world championship medalist John Zimmerman

This has a huge car wreck factor. Do we really want to watch celebs skate or fall on their butts?

Even the most stable brain operates just a millimeter from madness.

Skating with Celebrities? So horrific, it boogles my mind. This mind is an extremly boogled one.

Need drugs now.

More horrific than The Swan? Average Joe? The O'Reilly Factor?

If people want to watch celebrities learn to skate, it doesn't really offend my sensibilities. Although I don't understand the attraction.

In response, I only have two words.

Todd. Bridges.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Christ, this means we're not following the Amercians' lead for a change. Australia's already had two (I think) series of Dancing with the Stars and it has been quite popular. We also had a "skating with the stars" series too but I don't think it was very popular at all.

What is even happening?

I wonder if we're both following some UK lead?

Actually... yeah, I think so. Sure, those are all very horrific in their own right, but I can see where the attraction comes from. I don't share it, or understand it, nor can't I understand why it has lasted this long, but in a sense I can see where it comes from.

Now, Dancing with the Stars I don't understand, plus it killed my darling, and now they are taking that concept even further.

So yeah, it certainly is more horrific than shows like those three. Not by much, though, but yes.

With that said, I loath the mere concept of reality shows more and more for each new show (strangely, or not so much, the loathing really increased with the cancellation of The Inside), and bunch 'em all together in a bowl marked with "Horrific Crap" in big bold letters.

Them, and The O'Reilly Factor. Truly horrific.

Anyways, it's late and I'm probobly rambling a bit. Should probobly write myself of in english, get me one of those popular blog-thingies in this language. Or something.
