Playing It Straight

[drscott]

Stuck home on Friday night while my partner's off having dinner with a friend in Aptos. Doing my mother's all-too-complicated taxes while watching Playing It Straight in the background. The guys are in the throes of homosexual panic as they discover there are gay men among them. Since they all look and act pretty much like West Hollywood boys, it really is hard to tell.

Boring paperwork and sublimely stupid show. What could be better??

You can do taxes while a movie's running in the background? Talk about multitasking.

I just got home from an incredibly difficult 1.5 hours at the fucking grocery store. My Safeway is pretty decent during the day, but at night it's challenged—much like the greater Fremont-Union City-Newark tri-city metropolitan area.

Oops, time for my high-IQ TV hour with Will & Grace. So much for being a renaissance man.

I hope you're having even more fun.

It's bad Reality TV. At least the straight woman isn't oo obnoxious. It's actually a bit less annoying than "Boy Meets Boy," but not by much.

Fortunately the next show that came on (I can't change channels from my office, since it's just a feed from the main satellite box) was "Wonder Falls," about a girl who's being given odd messages by everyday objects. While it seems aimed at teenage girls, it was fun and relatively creative. Not many light comedies feature life-threatening allergic reactions and emergency tracheotomies done by a lesbian sister, or have a scene where a hairy-chested guy goes orgasmic from a nurse's sponge bath.

I rarely watch live TV. Taxes all done now, so I never will again. :-)

This implies there's a good Reality TV.

I've never even heard of “Wonder Falls.” I want to see the orgasmic hairy-chested guy. Clearly I watch the wrong channels.
