A Comedy That Was On TV

It's funny-- sometimes I spend some time here on listal planning on what comedy to see next, but I usually just end up watching the comedy that's on TV, of course. You know?

And I actually graduated from high school in 2007, (didn't I? lol), and I think, shortly after that, I got this job in the hospital's kitchen, where I delivered quasi-military style meals to people who tended to be very old and not very interesting. So, yeah, in my next life, I'm totes going to score a job at the country club instead.

Although, of course-- and I swear that this has more to with avoidance than resentment, since it's not an attitude that I *automatically* extend to tennis-- but whenever I see a golf course, I really can't help but see a forest waiting to happen. And I'm holding firm as a forest on that-- IMO, golf is probably the perfect example of something that's sorta bad, yeah, that doesn't really get any better by pushing a few girls into it....

(Although, personally, I like tennis better than basketball-- though I don't have anything *against* basketball.)

So, I don't know what to tell ya.

And, you know, at the time (that this movie was made)-- I would have been watching Battlestar Galactica and eating Cylon toast with Sheldon-- and I would have been watching, let's see... Season 3 (2006-2007), "Unfinished Business"-- the boxing episode, and.... "A Day in the Life", the one where the admiral broods about his dead wife.

So.... I try to put golf (and the country club-- and I've never been able to find a *good* reason why golf {almost} always seems to overshadow tennis in the CC), in that context.

Even though I find golf to be incredibly.... phony. (If you want to know the truth.)

Although, to be honest, my grief with golf isn't so much with the "Italian golf shoes", as with the Scottish plaids, you know, from *Braveheart-land*.

And, you know, even though I don't watch basketball, I do like baseball, and football, both team sports, so I get the idea-- "Troy bailed on us!", but, you know, don't teams *trade* players sometimes? (I know that I've switched sides myself a few times in my life!)

And you know, it was the golf guy--tennis, lol-- who said, "(I do) yoga", and "Don't you think that dancing takes game?" (And technically.... you know, art is different from sport.... but occasionally you have to take things in context, yeah.)

And watching the golf guy play baseball was pretty great-- he looked like some old-school, early-20th century baseball player, like.... Jim Thorpe!

Ha! look at what I just did.

But anyway.... It was average, sure.

So.... Best Factoid Ever (which actually irritated me when I first heard it earlier today): Vivaldi worked at the Ospedale della Pieta, an (Italian) hospital for orphaned girls.

*chuckles* I am such an erratic crazy.

But, yeah.... It was an average movie, I think.

P.S.: *notices cataloguing discrepency* *adopts Sheldon voice* This is a movie, cataloguing-toaster robot, a *movie*, not a television show. I demand justice! I demand restitution!

P.P.S. I'm not sure if it was really necessary to drag the blonde through the mud, *quite* as heartlessly as was done. I mean.... I think that we need to see more feminine girls portrayed sympathetically inside of our media of communications in America today for the greater efficacy of our cultural communication, you know? And, you know.... *chuckles* "Sometimes" by Ash. (Or "Envy". LOL.) (Or almost any poem or song about our soft, goosy feelings.... The ones that just don't respond to, you know, You're betraying the Wildcats, lol.)

P.P.P.S. This is vaguely reminiscent of "What a Girl Wants" (Amanda Bynes, 2003), in the way that an average movie can vaguely remind you of one that isn't *just* average....

(Even though, to be honest, I think that this is a story that maybe should have gone the other way--again, IMO....)

But, whatever.

It is amazing, all of the things that can change in just five years.... I mean, in this month in time, I think that we'd all be expected to treat that daughter like she could walk on water as long as she'd play golf or something, but back then, you'd think that.... I don't know. You'd think that she was *black* or something, instead of "pink", lol. (I'm sorry, but I just think that that's, funny, or something, you know....)

{And, again, at the risk of sounding absurdly pessimistic and deterministic, shirts from 2012 don't say, "He Did It", any more than movies from 2007 say, "Julia Child cooked it", or whatever.... And, yes, I know that that's absurdly pessimistic and deterministic, to a certain extent.}

{I mean, I'm crossing off the days on my calendar until "Timothy Green" comes out.... Even if I don't actually get a chance to see it, myself--do you see that?.... Just like, I didn't have the guts to admit, until yesterday, that I wanted to see Jason Segel star as me in "Jeff".... And it is an odd turn of phrase, isn't it-- "he lives at home"....}

You know?

Let's see if I can obfuscate this a little more.

*fact-checks dates on Wikipedia*

I don't know what to tell you.

..... {At times like these, I like to flip through "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", to tell you the truth.... And all because of an average movie!}
