Randomness Redux


I’m watching Charmed reruns. Did the one girl ever do anything but whine about which boyfriend she should stay with? I’ve seen like five or six episodes and that is all the one girl can do is Dan or whathisface white lighter boy? To break up with Dan or not? but whatshisface white lighter boy is so full of power-y goodness, but Dan lurves me! angst! Angst! Scrunch up my nose and look very serious. blah, blah, get a better storylinecakes. I think she may have a job – she may own a club. She’s college age, presumably and she owns a club. Doesn’t serve drinks in one, strip in one or just spend a lot of time in one, she owns one. How? Why?

The other girls so far, one may or may not be a celebrity photographer? The other one goes to school? Does a lot of Tai Bo? Wanders around the house in her slippers. They share a personality.

Another Charmed question. Is the theme song different every episode or am I seeing different seasons? Or do they change whatever cover band does for each episode, like The Simpson’s credits? Is Charmed still on the air? How? Why?

On the episode that I’m watching now the girls have lost their powers. They seem nonplussed. Now they have them back. Again with the nonplussed. No reaction when the powers were wrenched away from them, not as much as a deep sigh when they were reattached. No Emmys™ for these girls? Shocker!

I can’t tell if they are really used to the powers or they just got them. They seem to know a lot about this Witch thing but they didn’t know their grandmother was a Witch? Were they very surprised to find out they had their very own caldrons and pointy hats? I don’t think they are Wicca’s. It doesn’t seem like a deep, spiritual, religious thing to them. It seems like a pair of last years Jimmy Chews. They point at something or wiggle their asses at it, ( in this episode, the Whose The Boss girl walks into the frame and we see her and her white low rise capris from behind, and it is not pretty. She must have pissed off a cameraman) whatever, and things stop, or move or let them read its mind. I think they are the Pointy Hat and Broom Stick school of Witch.

I just figured out who the guest problem of the week is! It’s the same actress who played “Anne” on BTVS and ATS! Yay me! For using up valuable brain space with TV Trivia! Wow, girlfriend needs to tell her agent to get her out of genre hell. She needs to do a Law and Order or a couple hours of 24.

Maybe The WB Network owns her, or maybe she isn’t even real, she could be a computer generative actorbot, like the cast of The Orange County, or whatever that new teen‘plotation soap opera is called. You never heard of those actors for a reason – they aren’t real! They won’t age. It’s very, very good anime. Okay, I think that sentence is kind of like Jumbo Shrimp, but, it’s the truth. Anime.

The Angel reruns are entering a low part of the story line. They had to change the story line to make room for a knocked up actress and whatever they were going to do with the story got nuked. It was dumb to start off with and then they had to change it, so it could be more dumb. Maybe I’ll go back to watching the BBC home improvement shows until they finish these episodes although I may suffer through bad ATS to avoid another round of “brilliant” pelmets, neon kitchen cabinets, and electric blue “Moroccan” style room makeovers. I can’t watch anymore Home Invaders!

Hey, is John Edwards actually Eminem? They look very much alike. John Edwards is Eminem after a shower and in a suit.
