Eat that, King George!

You know, despite my retarded sig of "You ever heard of Slaughterhouse Five? That was me and four other guys." (Its my take on the Dude's "Seattle Seven" line from The Big Lebowski) I actually know nothing about the book. Actually, I don't know anything about Kurt Vonnegut other than he wrote that book and people thought that Sunscreen speech was given by him.

Anyways, had dinner with the roomie at Frontera. Which was chock full of drunk women. Our theory was since it was cheap margarita night, and margaritas are more of a chick drink, that was why there was a disproportionate number of women there. Anyhoo, awesome, the live musical entertainment did the Goo Goo Dolls' "Slide" and Oasis' "Wonderwall". The latter always reminds me of Seth and Summer at the end of The Heartbreak, where Seth plays the Ryan Adams' cover of the song in his room to "sweep Summer off her feet". (And the sad thing was he kinda was!) I'm not sure if that or "Hello Sunshine" is the quintessential Sethummer song. (Are these last few sentences the most queer thing I've ever said?)

But I digress, I had to stop myself from singing along. Had I been partaking of cheap margs, I prolly would have. Luckily, I don't drink anymore (You know I don't like to drink intoxicants, I want to experience life in all its agonizing glory). Besides an urge to sing aloud in public, other non health reasons why I shouldn't drink: 1) I make mormon girls cry, 2) I climb and surf various pieces of furniture, and 3) I try to pick fights with racist rednecks who are all pissed because I can kick their ass in tekken even while plastered (I have some asian video gaming skills). Well, I'll shout if they want to be starting something in the parking lot like long after they've gone.

Not much happens on this ep of the Office, though I did think there were a lot of funny lines in this one. Though I too was fearful of Michael being stupid enough to jump. When they first showed the trampoline, I was all, "Oh crap, he's not thinking of doing what I think he's doing." Still though, I think this was an ep where Michael was too much. It does get trying when Michael's past quirkily funny and in wanting to punch him for being an annoying idiot mode.

So, on Jericho, we finally find out what's up with Hawkins. So he's actually CIA, and spent three years trying to infiltrate some terrorist cell. And they get the bright idea of trying to capture them by giving them nukes and fake IDs to get them to trust them more?! Hawkins tried to stop the attacks, but was mostly unsuccessful. (Though he does save Columbus and NYC!) And the big boss of the terrorists (who's somehow united various groups that don't normally work together) is his boss in the CIA group he works for. What the?! Was Hawkins working for SD-6 or something?!

Oh yeah, some other boring stuff happens- Emily tries to teach the kids, but they're too busy trying to help their families survive. She does bond with Allison over having fucked up families. Mayor Dad is all depressso. I guess over April's death and Eric leaving for New Bern? Oh, and Mimi spends all ep trying to kill a chicken and telling Bonnie she feels all responsible for her because she's important to Stanley.


As I've said before, I've only recently started watching 30 Rock, but I'll admit, its actually pretty funny. And Rip Torn is guesting tonight. I always confuse him with Rip Taylor. And is it me, or does tonight's ep have an Arrested Development feel to it?

Oh, and going by various promos for Heroes I've seen and rumors I've heard, I have a theory on how the season will go. clevemire, you may want to skup this altogether since its full of spoilers from the promos. Okay, given comments I've seen from Linderman in these promos, it sounds like he wants Peter to explode in NYC? Why, because he's trying to be like Ozymandias from the Watchmen or the Medusa Web in Psi Force. Unite the world by giving them a common enemy to fear. This NYC tragedy will lead to an anti-hero backlash will lead to some registration act, endorsed by Nathan. This is the future Hiro and Ando have jumped to. Nate's in the white house, being all uncle tom-ish. And the rest of the heroes are darker versions of themselves because of the hard world they now live in, one that fears and hates them. And using Mohinder's improved list they'll be able to track down these people.

Anyways, Hiro and Ando come back to change this future by warning Nathan of what he becomes. And as theorized, Nate will change this future by flying Peter out of the city before he explodes. Of course, my theory is colored by similarities I'm seeing between the show and some of the more famous comic book storylines.

margaritas

[dashoka.livejournal.com]

i happen to think frozen margaritas are chick drinks but margaritas on the rocks are pretty manly, well simply because they can knock you off your feet very quickly if you're not careful.

i've never gotten anywhere near a buzz drinking the frozen kind, since there is a certain limit on how fast you (or at least i) can drink something frozen. just like beer, i can't seem to drink alcoholic slurpees fast enough to get wasted.

i did get a nice buzz once drinking margaritas on the rock though. it was after Tech's loss to LSU in the Peach Bowl, and we went to whatchamacallit place (it's the mexican place near the Howell Mill Kroger. damn i've been gone so long i can't remember the names of places in ATL anymore). we had a few pitchers of margaritas on the rocks while having a pretty quick meal. i wasn't at the point where i would even consider climbing on things and singing completely out of tune, but i remember being glad that i didn't have to drive back after the meal.

so on the rocks == manly drink, frozen == chick drink. i will say i am secure enough in my sexuality that i'll drink either, even if it was one of those fruity toothpick umbrella thingys in it.

El Amigo? (It took me a while to remember its name also) I forget, were there margs cheaper than normal because all the frat boys and sorority girls went there all the time?

Of course, because I am girly, I prefer them frozen.
