He uses it in the bathtub...

I'm talking about the word "eureka," which has been attributed to Archimedes when he stepped into his bathtub and discovered water displacement. ::themoreyouknow::

I somewhat hope the idea for the show Eureka (on the Sci Fi channel). How in the world did this show go under my radar for 2 seasons? The third season starts tomorrow. OI!

Basically, it's a show about a town full of geniuses who mostly all work for Global Dynamics, a mega-corporation that develops new and crazy technology for the greater good. Among the things we saw in yesterday's marathon (I have things I could be doing, but I am VERY lazy): dimensional rift to heaven, an airborne love potion that makes all the women want the sheriff, an invisibility potion that kills, and cryogenics. Throw in a sheriff and his daughter, neither of whom are geniuses, and enjoy the comedy. It's sort of a drama, but more like a sitcom, but an hour long sitcom. It's funnier and not as dramatic as BSG, so it'll be a nice distraction while I wait for the rest of that.

Lewis Black's show was last night, and it was not at all his best performance. The opening act was half an hour long and was followed by a nearly 30 minute intermission. Uncle Lew had a few really hilarious jokes, but nothing as gut-busting as the last show. He's more a political comedian now than he used to be, and it is for that reason that I will have to leave him behind as my favorite comedian. I'm sorry, Mr. Black, but I just don't like politics.

And I'll whisper, "No."

OMGOMGOMGOMG Watchmen trailer was awesome last night. I mean .... the Batman movie was great too, but OMGOMGOMG Dr. Manhattan is absolutely perfect. The Comedian is spot on. Rorschach's mask is just right. The scene on mars with the thing and the pointy shinies and the pretty lady and the AAAAAAHHHHHH I NEED IT NOW.

It was really more a teaser than a full trailer, but there was enough of it to make me AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Chrissie and I squealed and held onto each other for fear our squeals would carry us away into the heavens. But anyway yes. I am slightly regretful that I went to the Batman movie at midnight last night, as I did not get home until well after 3 am. Luckily, my dog had been sleeping by the door so I basically just scooped her up into bed and passed out without incident. Boy am I tired. I'm not pass-outy, just loopy and feel like I'm on something. Thank goodness for half-days.

Everyone's a little bit racist!

So Friday, Sal, Chrissie, and I met a racist old woman. She referred to black people as the N-word, and as "big ape-men." How ... quaint... Oi. She was super nice other than that. Nothing terribly interesting other than that for Friday...

Saturday was the busiest day ever. Pedicure/manicure to get ready for Avenue Q and mah pretty black dress, then I had a few minutes to chill before I met Chappaboogie for lunch at the Gallery Art Cafe, which is now open on the weekends! Yay! We then went to see Hellboy 2, which was pretty badass. Thoroughly impressed. Yes.

Following the moviefilm, I dropped my darling Chappaboogie off and headed to my tiny hovel to change into my fancydress for the evening's performance. I really didn't have much time to sit and relax before it was time for dinner. PF Chang's served some delicious food, and after a drink at 8.0, we headed to Bass Hall for deliciously vulgar puppetry in the show Avenue Q. I rather enjoyed it, but it was still a musical. Highlights included: The Internet is for Porn and Everyone's a Little Bit Racist. Detractions include: dragging plot at times, loud drunk bitchfaces who kept singing along with all the songs. Die please. ::smile::

Okay, I keep getting distracted by pesky ol' WORK, sooo I'll be goin now. Later, folks.
