I love Rachel Yamagata. You should listen to her, why not?

I'll come clean. There's a website that gives the synopsis for everything that happens on Days of Our Lives the next day. Instead of watching it, I've been reading that just to justify that I've made the right decision. I told Brett it was like methadone. He said, "It doesn't get you high but it gives you your fix?" I said exactly. He was upset that we missed the episode where John Black is supposedly trying to kill Alex North and they pull back and we see he's actually just shot a watermelon. He then picks up the watermelon, eats it and says, "I've still got it." I'm not the only addict in this family.

I just realized my last five entries or so were mostly about 24. I think it's time to balance it out to show that I have a vast and complex world of tastes other than 24.

Here it goes:

I have decided to stop watching days of our lives. That's right. I've had it. I started it for the comedy, continued it because it's a nice way to procastinate from writing that doesn't involve the internet, but it's over. There's only one actor terrible enough to make me laugh regularly and the stories have become frustrating beyond comprehension. Even for a soap opera, Days is especially frustrating. I turned on Passions the other day and they had a baby who had thought bubbles popping out of its head so that might be another option. Don't worry friends, I'll figure it out.

The last episode of Subterranean had two little interviews with the Arctic Monkeys and Lady Sovereign. What a bunch of arrogant jerks. They both were acting like they'd rather be anywhere else than being interviewed by a sincere (albeit dorky) host who clearly loves and supports independent music. I wish them a lifetime of getting caught up in a Days of Our Lives storyline that promises to go somewhere for years and never does. I'm that shade of mean.

If THOSE two things don't show how varied my tastes are, then nothing will, people! Oh, HUFF starts Sunday! Get ready to be pummeled with posts about how much I love Huff AND 24.

24: right again.

I received this letter from my good friend Hammy who has clearly seen the error of her ways and has the guts and determination to stand behind it with an electronically delivered letter. I just hope other TV watchers have the courage to follow their hearts, (their TRUE hearts not their fake hearts) and come to the same conclusion. Letter follows:

Dear Natasha,

I have finally come to the conclusion that 24 is 5,000,000.99 times better than Prison Break and I would like to rescind a comment that I left a while ago stating otherwise. I honestly don't know what I was thinking at the time unless it was "I haven't watched an episode of 24 in it's entirety, " or "gooobballeo&%#(@)!(," because my brain was obviously in a very elementary and primitive state. Prison Break is ridiculously suspenseful for no reason. 24 is honestly suspenseful for all the right reasons. Lincoln Burroughs is a stupid TV name, blatantly connotative of escaping to freedom . Jack Bauer rhymes with Knack Hour.

Your friend,
Hammy

I just watched Kiefer Sutherland on Jimmy Kimmel. I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I love 24. I was really happy to see that Jimmy loved him as much as I do, because I really wanted that adorable Kiefer to feel the love. I think Jimmy even said, "I don't want to slobber too much but I've become absolutely obsessed with this show." Also, Kiefer seemed really nervous and adorable and...I love Jack Bauer. I love 24. Okay there, I finally admitted it.

I had a dream the other night that I was Jack Bauer from the first season of 24. Because it was the first season they didn’t have the most recent technology, so my guns were made of plastic and in order to kill someone I had to say “BAM BAM BAM” or they wouldn’t die. After I woke up I thought about it and it seemed like a step up in my maturity that I love Jack Bauer the character as opposed to Kiefer Sutherland the actor. A few years ago I probably would have had a crush on Kiefer because I love Jack so much. Then I thought about it some more and I realized the fact that I love a fictional character on television as opposed to an actor is really nothing to be proud of and really, I’m back at square one. But let’s face it, Jack Bauer is really awesome.

You know you haven't cleaned in way too long when you pull out the mop (okay swiffer) and your cats gather around you trying to figure out what the hell you're doing. They were looking at me like I imagine the people looked at Jesus when he turned water into wine in front of them. (I have a god complex.) I could practically hear them thinking, "How is she DOING that?!" As long as they don't come to expect it, I appreciate the grossly unearned admiration.

I continue to love Jiminy glick interviews on Primetime Glick. Not the whole show, just the interviews. As most of my 3 1/2 readers know, my favorite moment in comedy (that is my favorite thing I've ever watched, not partcipated in) was the interview he did with Billy Crystal. I am always ready to act it out for anyone who asks. My version is just as good and not strange at all. Anyway, TiVo just taped the Mel Brooks one. At one point he asks Mel Brooks, 'What's your beef with the Nazis?" That could be the best question ever.

It's 6:30 AM. I just watched the most ridiculous news to ever have been reported. The anchorman just said, "When it's this cold outside we have to send somebody out there to brave those elements." It's 40 degrees. If I could capitalize 40 I would. I guess i could have spelled it out but it's too cold to type that much. They then cut to the brave woman on the street who proceeded to have the cameraman show a tiny patch of frost on the grass and said, 'You think that might stop the people of Pasadena from going outdoors but it doesn't." I had no idea the heroes I was living amongst. Are you saying the men and women of Pasadena manage to leave their houses when there are tiny patches of frost somewhere in their midst? This is unbelievable. It inspires me to be a better person. The woman then bid us good day with a warning to, "Bundle up! It's cold out here." I think I'll just play it safe and stay inside.

Brother, you can believe in stones as long as you don't throw them at me.

This is really something. I'm not sure I linked it correctly, but i hope it's watchable.

Okay this is really too much already. It's almost hilarious. It's only a matter of time until he runs people, I'm telling you! (If I'm giving the impression that I wouldn't vote for him based on nothing but clips I've seen of him on any random talk show, I'm giving the wrong impression. But okay, I'd also vote for Barack Obama if he decides to run too. I smell a great team! I don't care which one is president. )

I was watching the Oscars and realized that George Clooney is Bill Clinton. Except he didn't have to get married because of his political aspirations so he'll be our first single President. He won't have to worry about any annoying cigar incidents, he can just go ahead and charm the free world without any repercussions! That will be fun. It will be nice to have the White House pet be a pig.

Reese Witherspoon is getting $29 MILLION dollars for her next movie. WHAT???? I am very confused. She's a really good actress, that part I understand. I'm still VERY CONFUSED. Does she discover the cure for cancer, teach children in every grade in every public school in the entire country, impeach George Bush and also act in a movie? Because that would be a heavy schedule. That's worth at least $24 million. Which is what Julia Roberts got for Mona Lisa Smile. I'm going to stop trying to understand this.

I watched the Barbara Walters special last night. I'm sure you are anxious to hear my recap, so I won't let you down.

Matthew Macougheneyheyehey: I fast fowarded past him. He bores me. Anything he says I can hear out of the mouths of anyone on Real World/Road Rules challenge and I already put my time in there this week.

Patrick Dempsey: He was in one of my favorite movies of the 80's Can't Buy Me Love, then he disappears and now he's a star again. I can't believe how ridiculous celebrity is. Sure, I'm as obsessed as anyone, but I still can't believe it's what it is. He was talented then, he's talented now, why did he have to go away for 20 years? And also, what happened to Michael Keaton? Tell him I say hi.

Mariah Carey: I teared up a few times. I'm still not clear why.

George Clooney: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I don't think he's going to age well. And by age I mean when he hits 65. That's going to be a tough time for him at 65. Sure he'll have his charm and quit wit, but his looks will be outta there.

You're welcome.
