hey pups. i'm so glad it's friday. i'm sort of giddy, because peter's in town! i haven't seen that bloke in months. and he's coming back in june to finish his general surgery residency, so that's all good. :)
so a friend of mine IM'ed me today and asked me some questions about tourette's. she asked me i was comfortable with it, and i said of course. i actually welcome questions about my TS, although in the past, i used to be uncomfortable and kind of ashamed talking about it. i've grown to accept it and be ok with people's inquiries. and i actually prefer it when people ask me if there's anything wrong with me when they see me tic, instead of the silent looks of "is this guy a freak?"
in most cases, though, i rarely tell people upfront that i have tourette's. one exception is when i'm flying, and i tell the person next to me so they don't freak out when i tic. that happened most recently a few months ago on the way back from geoff's wedding in LA. the lady sitting next to me was very understanding, which was a good thing.
so i was really touched by last night's episode of _scrubs_. one of the cast members died, and i got pretty sad. she wasn't a main character or anything, but i always liked her. oh well. life moves on.
the one time where i almost cried when a tv character died was when billy died on _ally mcbeal_. man, i got tears in my eyes. that was such an awesome show, and i still think about it sometimes when i go take a dump. i will always remember the john cage and his remote control to the toilet. "i like a fresh bowl," he would say. haha.
while watching nbc last night, i saw an ad for a show that i want to check out. it's called _thank god you're here_. basically, it's an improv show where every skit starts out with that line, and the characters just make it up along the way, with no script or rehearsal. i'm curious to see how sharp the actors are, and how fast they can think on their feet. it's sort of like _whose line is it anyway?_, that drew carey show i used to watch back in the day. i'm astounded at how people can come up with stuff like that. i used to have to give impromptu speeches, and boy, did i suck at that.
you guys know tina fey, right? i think she looks really attractive when she has glasses on, but when she takes her specs off, she doesn't look so good. it's amazing what a nice set of frames does for you. yes, as you know, i have a serious case of eyeglasses fetish. but anyways, i noticed this about tina when i was watching _30 rock_ last night. (i don't watch this show, but i had nothing to do in between _the office_ and _scrubs_.)
it's funny. i just went downstairs for a smoke, and one of my coworkers B showed up for cigarette break as well. but before he lights up, he's like, "i'm trying to quit." WHAT? he's smoking AND quitting at the same time? hm. something just ain't right, haha.
ok. that's it for me this week. have a STUPENDOUS weekend, folks!
