Friday at lunch there was a perfectly normal waitress. She seemed like she might be hiding something. I had an unimpressive reuben and answered a lot of trivia questions correctly and also some incorrectly.
Today I shared the elevator with the cute girl with really great hair. She has a really unfortunate last name, like me.
I've been watching the dog for the past few days. He sucks. He does things like knock over plants and crap in the yard (Q: what do you do with dog crap in a freshly landscaped yard? A: you fling it into the neighbor's yard after dark).
Now I am going to complain about the HBO show "Entourage", which is targeted at my demographic - adult males caught in arrested adolescence.
This is a terrible show and I rarely miss an episode.
The general story arcs feel like they were stolen from an 8th grade girl's creative writing assignment (an 8th grade boy would have everyone die). Here is how an "Entourage" story arc goes: 1) Vince makes a movie, 2) everyone likes it, 3) repeat.
It's laughable how little conflict or tension there is in the show. Imagine if the extent of your daily conflicts - internal or external - was that you thought you couldn't find your pants for a few minutes, but no, they were on the chair the whole time, right where you left them. And then you celebrated by purchasing an expensive European automobile.
The entire problem with the show is that it has no other basis beyond fantasy and (hopefully unintentionally) it reveals how stupid and sterile and ultimately basically just kind of annoying fantasy is (see also "Eyes Wide Shut").
The show could be improved by having some kind of struggle. Yes, I know it's a comedy. But anything to make the stupid fucking characters stop being so utterly disengaged with the rest of the rest of the damn world. Here's a list of ideas: closeted homosexuality, burn victim, lost in snowy wilderness, food poisoning, sexual assault charges, property is seized in a tax fraud investigation. I could go on.
The space program and sexuality:
Voyager -> Voyeur-ger
Venera -> Venereal
